Title
1982 Yearbook
Description
Did you ever wonder how the Paper SAC
came to be called as such? In its early years,
the college referred to its newspaper as the
Ambrosian News, an unoriginal, but sufficient, letterhead. In 1968-69, the newspaper's
editors decided to change the letterhead and
give the paper a new outlook. A contest ensued. Of the several suggestions submitted,
Sue DeDoncker of East Moline, became the
clever originator of our present day letterhead: the Paper SAC.
This year, the Paper SAC has instigated an
even newer outlook for both its staff and to its
material. Unlike last year's staff of traditional on-campus students, this year two heads of
the paper were non-traditional off-campus
students. In addition, the paper shifted in the
type of material it published, becoming more
politically sensitive, both in school and national issues. Secondly, more space was devoted to the opinion column and to the feature's section where college productions,
movies, and books were reviewed. In short,
the Paper SAC has started moving into a new
era that has produced not only mixed feelings
by the reading public, but, also, an honest
attempt to stay on top through the use of
change.
