Edgar assumes a manner of brutal frankness that makes his assistants
realize that college journalism is no joke.
Himie Koshevoy, the insouciant and dapper news manager, shep
herds a large flock of respectful reporters. He has his linger on the pulse
of university life and never misses a heart-throb. Instruction of cub
reporters forms a second part of his job. How many future eminent
journalists have received their training from Himie will never be known.
The sports editor, Malcolm McGregor, is rumoured to be a soccer
fan. A man of many talents, he fills his writings with vocabulary of
journalism that pains the editor-in-chief, writes theses during Pub”
meetings, eats his lunch at 10 a.m. or earlier, loudly defends the rights of
the sport page or the Soccer Club and assumes statuesque contortions
meant to symbolize adoration when speaking to lady editors.
Frances Lucas, with M. Freeman as assistant, is in charge of literary
supplements and other outbreaks of the muse. Her relaxation from
serious duty takes the form of writing a chamelionic column known as
‘Fun and Fundamentals.” In conjunction with the Letters Club, the
literary staff published a chapbook of student verse, the first to appear

Bunny Pound, feature editor, has the difficult task of examining
efforts of campus humourists. Under her supervision Muck-a-muck

Associate editors are four in number. Nick Mussallem reformed

office between lectures. An adept writer of incisive head-lines, he is
never content until he finds the precise word needed. Kay Murray is a
quiet and efficient worker, forming a contrast to other argumentative
members. Afflicted with the additional duties of exchange editor, she
keeps the students in touch with universities throughout the continent.
Margaret Creelman is another hard worker on the Tuesday edition,
with head writing and proof-reading as her chief bane. Main Dingwall
is second in command for the Friday issue, and has stepped into big-time
stuff with the special Arts ‘32 Stadium Supplement.
Five assistant editors, Mollie Jordan, R. Harcourt, Art McKenzie,
Cecilia Long and Cecil Brennan, have worked hard at the print-shop
gaining experience for higher positions next year. Cecilia Long relieved
the exchange editor in the second term.
The sport department, that gang of radicals who fight obstreper
ously for independence, includes J. W. Lee, Guthrie Hamlin and Olive
