Amateurish Trick

One of the problems facing the
editors of C&C is to add some meat
to the annual. The 1970 edition
tries to accomplish this in the
Athletic section by running summaries
of the action of the past
years and giving a rosy view of the
upcoming season. This amateurish
trick gives the section a high school
look and detracts sharply from the
success of the publication.

The sports pictures show an
extreme lack of either photographic
ability or imagination, or both.
Again, as in the Administration and
Government sections, the predominance
of posed shots results in a
fatal lack of life.

The Organizations section attempts
briefly to provide some
candid shots and offers good
descriptions of the major University
groups. However, the sheer volume
of faces and names, detailed in
unimaginative arrangements, finally
proves too overwhelming.
