Make-Up to Change Magazine.
Bill Hollister, new editor of the
Av.-g.van, has one aim in life at
present: to make the university
humor publication a cosmopolitan
magazine. Working toward that
end, Hollister has made every ef
fort to enlarge the staff.
Since humor is purely a mat
ter of personal opinion, ur only
hope of satisfying the 5,od0 or
more personal opinions of humor
on this campus, represented by the
5 000 or more students enrolled,"
the editor declared, "is to create a
large, representative group of con
tributors." Office Redecorated.
The goal of cosmopolitanism is
one that has been close to Ilollis

as last spring, he was laying plans
for changes in the Awgwan poli
cies. One manifestation of the new
spirit way be found, perhaps, in
