GOLD BUG From a back-corner office where the type- writers skip every other letter and the floor is knee-deep with old newspapers, issues forth every other week-to the amazement of staff and onlookers alike-the GOLD BUG. With an overworked and dedicated staff- they have to be, they don't get paid-Linda Spear led a crusade to undermine the solid, conservative name of the campus newspaper. With an increased six-page issue they were able to fulfill their goal of "printing anything that fits." Editorials, letters, and columns used the shock method to obtain readers. Often based on emotionalized opinions, these diatribes against campus and world-wide problems evoked more criticism than ap- proval; but even criticism was an improve- ment over apathy. In 1966, Alice Cherbonnier and David Carrasco took the lead as co-editors of the GOLD BUG. A good combination of the elf and the cobbler, they pushed the stan- dards of the newspaper to new heights (and depths) by both improving news coverage and digging up more skeletons to haunt the campus.
