President W. S. Allen this week announced the appointment of Miss Sumerford iand a number pf other men and women who will occupy various editorial positions on next year's Reporter staff. He said the appointments were made upon recommendation of the joint faculty-student publications committee, upon which incumbent editor's of campus organs sit in conference with faculty supervisors. Named to be editor of next year's annual, The Hatter, is T. R. Mims, while Benjamin Haddpx will serve in the double office of advertising manager for the new Reporter and business manager for the Hatter. Due" to the prospect for continued activity of this nation in the second world war next year, the president said that the committee had approved a plan for a monthly Reporter next year instead of a weekly. Principal reason for the less frequent issue is to alleviate many of the mechanical problems that have been evident this past year, and the increasing shortage of skilled labor. Edith Johnsen, advanced journalism student, was appointed to the position of news editor of the new publcation. Several hew editorships were created, including notably that of literary editor in order to combine both literary and journalistic material in the single new-type publication. Betty Sue Reid was nained to fill the post. Miss . Sumerford succeeds Lillian McClement, present editor, who will hand over Tthe editorial management of the; campus sheet after the current issue has gone to press. Miss McClement served this year while a Scvohomore, and Miss Sum- erford's selection reveals that for another year a sophomore co-ed will edit the paper. T. R.
