, 10 11 As editor of the Bison I can really sympathize with Alcoholics and Smokers Anonymous, whose motto is "live one day at a time." Although there are several reasons for undertaking a job, maybe the foremost is experience; that, and wanting to serve the student community need in some way. Each week is a frenzied routine, with no time to sleep from Tuesday through Thurssday. Trying to get everything organized and written, layouts ready, pictures taken and printed, meeting deadlines, skipping just enough classes to give the print shop more attention without getting my teachers too angry and still find some time to spend with my wife is what the job is all about. There just are not enough hours in the day! The job also means trying to stay one step ahead of the campus and community issues and activities. It means striving to keep the news fair and accurate and within the limits of the indirect censorship of the administration and trying to do a professionaljob with limited time, staff and resources. Of the many things I have learned, one is to better get along with people and to better understand human nature. Many times I have been disappointed with staff members, until I remember that this is, for them, an extracurricular activity, and could not and should not be put ahead of more important things. Sometimes I forget I am the only one getting paidI Out of it all, though, comes the most important aspect of the position: I have been forced to face reality and responsibility more this year than ever before, and in doing so, I feel I have grown and matured into perhaps a better person. - Randy Kemp, editor STUDENT PUBLICATIONS - 261
