Edito1-ial 1948 wa.s a year which produced many changes in t he T r.r rt Nf:ws. Among the more important changes were a complctc·ly redesign{'() masthead a nd n re turn to weekly issues. I mprovement wa!> nchit' ved in nt'ws coverage, style, and feature stories. Each 'llaff attrmpts to outdo the other, a nd the present staff, which terminates it~ dutiC!'> with the next is~ue o r the T ECII News, hopes that it ha.., Car excelled all previous staffs in the matter of improving the TP.C' II News. Any improvement whnt~oevcr is a feather in our hat. Our reuckr<> should not overlook the fact that an engineer ing curricul um provides very little spare time fo r such activities as the T ee n N Y.WS. Also the staff receives no remune ration for its efforts. 1\lnst schools rewa rd their staffs flonncially . Putting out a weekly issue was quite a task, which w(• hope w<' have fulfi lled.
