--- i Ii 2 .THE CRIMSON BULL 2 THE CRIMSON BULL COYNED WORDS The editor wishes to express his most humble thanks and appreciation to those on the staff who have helped to make the operation of putting together this first issue of the Crimson Bull as painless as possible. These many-talented jewels of original ideas include: Rick Beckrich, whose talent with the artist's brush kept us all in stitches; Dyke Egnatz, whose explosive ideas and stories made the long nights shorter; John Bowers, whose excellent photography and photo layout put a little spice into the stew; Bosco Wrathen, our rolly polly photog with an eagle eye for sharp pics; Natalie Haddan, alias Niki, whose ex- cellent cartoons and illustrations (and talented hand at housekeeping), kept our heads above the steadily rising heap of torn up copy sheets; Gil Kett and Dick Knarr, whose unusual ability of both writing and cartooning is better than a double-decked Nash; Bob Conklin, our ace flatfoot of the advertising game; John Foster, our production manager, who covers so many miles each week he thinks that he'll try out for the 500 classic; Marti Smar, whose unique rhym- ability and constant good humor helped to ease the load; Bob Lewis and Emma Livingstone, whose technical aid kept us from enrolling in Logansport. Special thanx to Sgt. Tom Smart, victim of the Board of Appeals, the sparkplug who got the lopsided ball rolling; Chris Savage, our faculty adviser, with a censor of humor all of his own. ART COYNE.

If you're a jazz fan, it certainly must have been gone a little deeper, and you were unhappy with the liberties taken with the chronological order of events as depicted, or the false situations which were used to bolster the "story" which Hollywood feels is necessary to entertain the "average" person.
