Managing Editor— (Continued from Page 1) work on the Longhorn when he was seriously injured on a hunting trip while home for the Christmas holidays. Ele, the one who has caught the brunt of the evil spir it’s wrath, had to resign from school the first semester and was unable to return for the sec ond. Therefore the Student Publi cations Committee had to look a- round for a third editor-in-chief of the Longhorn. Their choice was the managing editor, Morton Rob inson.

Now the entire Longhorn staff is threatening to go on strike, but Robinson is trying to hold them to gether by promising them a spec ial Longhorn room at the hospit al if they all catch the measles.
