Oregana Editor Rick Taylor
78-79 yearbook on schedule
The problems that plagued the
1977 Oregana will be overcome in
this year’s edition, according to
1979 editor Rick Taylor.
“The 1978-79 Oregana year
book will be ready at the usual
time next September,” says
Taylor. “The book should flow and
be ready to send to the printer in
June.”
The Oregana will be 144 pages
ahead of last year’s yearbook by
the end of fall term because the
photographs of dorm residents,
Greeks, seniors, University or
ganizations and academic offices
will be finished by Christmas, ac
cording to Taylor.
Previously, the staff took the
pictures during spring term to take
advantage of the nice weather.
“But it was harder to get everyone
together for the picture by the time
spring term came,” Taylor says.
“This decreased sales because
people aren’t going to buy a year
book if their picture isn’t in it,” he
adds.
The staff is also saving itself a
lot of work by letting the University
associations and academic
schools write their own articles on
their activities for the year.
The Oregana will contain more
sports than last year. “We’re writ
ing about the football season
game by game and keeping better
records this year,” he says. The
staff will also give more attention
to club sports. “They are played
more than team sports. Therefore,
they should and will receive more
coverage than last year,” Taylor
says. Regarding sports captions,
Taylor adds, “The words will not
be rah-rah. They will capture the
flavor of the sport.”
Other improvements for the
coming year include more atten
tion to music performed by Uni
versity students, and a week-by
week account of the events of the
year.
Taylor estimates the cost of
producing the 78-79 yearbook at
more than $20,000. The money is
received by subscriptions and ad
vertisements sold. The yearbook
receives no funds from the Inci
dental Fee Committee (IFC).
Taylor says, $4 of every student’s
incidental fees involuntarily goes
to the Oregon Daily Emerald,
which does serve a lot of students,

but the Oregana serves at least
ten percent of the student body
and receives no money.”
Doug Benson, chairer of the
IFC, says that depending on the
stability of the yearbook. “I see no
reason why they don’t submit a
budget this January. It’s worth it to
the students and to the ASUO
committee.”
Fifteen people comprise the
78-'79 staff. Until this year, only
the editor was a paid position.
“Now we are able to pay the busi
ness manager, layout editor,
photo editor and copy editor,”
Taylor says. The editor gets a
stipend of $50 per month. The
other paid positions receive $10
per month. “We could use more
people in every facet of the staff,”
Taylor says
Until Sunday, the Oregana will
cost $9 a book. From October 23
until January 4, the price per book
will be $10. Thereafter, it will sell
for $11.

For the Emerald
After a year's delay, the 1977
Oregana yearbook is off the pres
ses and ready to read. The book
can be picked up in the Oregana
office in Room M-111 of the EMU.
“The reason we re a year late is
because I was trying new ways of
doing things to help future year
book staff,” says Jerril Nilson,
editor-in-chief of the 1977 year
book, ‘‘Unfortunately, none of
them worked.”
“It’s not popular here to buy a
yearbook,” Nilson continues. “It
only seems to benefit the people
who work on it; they get good ex
perience. If Rick’s (Taylor) book
isn’t successful, we probably
won’t have a yearbook anymore. If
I had to do it again, I wouldn’t. The
things that happened left a sour
taste in my mouth,’’ she adds.
The Oregana staff, which
began the year with five editorial
assistants and 50 aides, dwindled
down to one — Nilson — by Au
gust, 1978, when the book was
finished.
“During spring term we ended
up with two people writing the
book, Cindy Nei and me. With
Cindy finishing school and me
working full time, we got even
further behind. Cindy left and it
was just me for half a year," Nilson
says.
Mano Scott, one of the three
photographers for the 1977 book,
attributes the reduction in staff to
general apathy.
"There was no immediate re
ward - no pay and no credit. The
only satisfaction we could get was
from seeing our photos printed
and havinq our names in the front
of the book. Toward the end of the
year, with the nice weather, peo
ple bailed out to get their classes
settled. ’
Mark Stewart, also a photo
editor for the yearbook, agrees
that there was no motivation for
the staffers.
"Then position of editor-in-chief
was paid a stipend of $90 a month.
Everyone else was totally volun
teer. I started with 16 to 18 photo
graphers under me and ended up
with about four or five. Everyone
was excited fall term, but with the
beginning of winter term, things
went downhill.”
Costs were another reason for
the book’s tardiness. “We had to
pay off the debts of the previous
yearbook and so we had no
money for our own book," Nilson
says.
