Eastern News Surviving a fairly stable year, the NEWS still maintains its semi-weekly eight pag e publicat ion schedule. The News did receive some criticism of its coverage of the student body officer e lection when it ran a front page editorial supporting the eventual winner, Ken Miller, for president. The year began with a 24- page supplement slanted primarily for freshmen being distributed on the first day of fall quarter. This supplement is intended to become an annual issue. Three of the bigger stories included the News uncovering a letter from student senators asking Jackie Bratcher to resign, the conflict between John Young, a Charleston developer, a n d the University in planning a dormitory and t he heavily critic ized construction of the concrete married apartments.

Warbler Progress, the theme for this year's WARBLER, has served as the unifying element for the book. Last spring, the co-editors selected this theme, because the evidence of progress was shown throughout the campus and the lives of the students. Each section with its division page explains how progress has been exemplifed in that area. The 88-page Student Life section containing activities as they progressed throughout the year was a new addition. Many more colored prints were also added. The three-column layout technique and screening treatments on pictures were attempted for new effects. A new cover texture and type face were also evident. Early in the year, for the first time, the WARBLER staff conducted a Favorite Teacher Poll. The results of this poll are on pages 86-87.

Gridders Mark Progress This was no ordinary year for Eastern football. The Panthers. who finished with a 4 and 5 record, had a far better season than their record indicates. The Panthers set two individual records, tied another and compiled a new team record for total offense in a single game. Eastern also toppled two conference standards, and statistically finished far ahead of their opponents this fall under the coaching of Clyde Biggers (left). Quarterback Joe Davis surprised everyone last fall when he turned in one of the finest seasons ever by an Eastern quarterback. The senior signal caller missed the all time Panther total offensive record for a single season by a scant 68 yards and finished his final year with 1,363 yards for an average of 151 yards per game. Davis finished his three year career with 2,736 yards. As a senior he completed 76 of 167 passes which were good for 931 yards and threw only eight interceptions. The sturdy Charleston senior picked up 432 yards rushing and was in on 284 offensive plays. Another offensive standout was senior end Ed Stephens. The tough receiver set an individual record when he caught 99 yards in pass receptions in one game. His nine receptions in the Bradley game also tied an EIU record. Stephens was by far Eastern's leading receiver with 40 receptions good for 483 yards, three touchdowns and two extra points. Dennis Bundy closed out another fine career at Eastern as he led the team in scoring and rushing. The hard driving Fairfield fullback siashed through the offensive line for 529 yards on 155 carries while scoring 10 touchdowns. Bundy led the IIAC with five touchdowns in conference play. The Panthers were way out in front of their opponents in first downs getting 95 rushing, (opposite page, lower left), 51 passing, and 20 penalties. In all, the Panthers picked up 166 first downs to their opponents 122 (below). The well disciplined Panther squad were penalized only 43 times for 396 yards while their counterparts were hit 64 times for 702 yards. 239
