The Daily Campus, like many other organizations on and off campus, has its internal politics. Staff disagreement and bickering is unaviodablc — our past, present and future editors will always possess strong wills and streaks of agression. The editors' strong individualistic tendencies produce a paper that we arc proud of. and we feel one the University can be proud of. This year, the National Scholastic Press Association and Letters to the Editor Associated Collegiate Press, a college tie* paper rating service, awarded the Daily Campus a "First C'au.%" rating. The editors cannot claim all the credit for this rating, however. Business staff, typists, paste-up artists and the rest of the 85-mcmbcr staff are all integral parts of the newspapers operation.
