Gary Leeper, business man ager, is responsible for sell ing advertisements. Both Leeper and his ad salesmen have accounts, whom they contact regularly. Leeper has found that the firms that start advertising early in the year usually stay with the Axe, but it is hard to find new business. "It doesn't expand too much," he said. "Our big gest advertisements are from the clothing stores." The Axe is financed pri marily through advertising revenue. The budget is filled out with help from student body funds. No tax money goes into the newspaper, Mrs. Sheetz said. Sports editor John Crowder has a special problem, be cause of the every-two-week publication schedule.

How does it feel to advise a newspaper that wins a na tional award? Here is the reaction from Mrs. Sheetz: "I'm really thrilled with our award. It's the first time in my seven years of advising high school papers that my paper has won. We've had many first class ratings, but so few Medalists are award ed. It's sort of a joke among journalism advisers that the judges toss the papers, and the ones that stick to the ceil ing win the Medalist. We had the glue this time." $000 OFF Cm Reg.

You might cure the habit, but kill the friendship, if you broke in every time to say, "Yes, I know what you mean." Hammering away at a favor ite word or expression is disas trous to effective conversation. Listeners get distracted wait ing for the next eruption of your "pet word. The trouble is, speakers are almost never aware that they have this an noying habit. Those who are lucky enough to have a blunt, tactless brother or sister will probably learn about their speech mannerisms, through taunts and mimicry. But u you don't have a helpful jeering section of this kind, you might have a discussion with your friends close friends would be best on "what words are we saying to pieces, this term?" Starting every remark with "Look" is the mark of the Super-Urgent speaker. Without knowing it, he's using the word to grab you by the lapel.
