ANDREWS VICTOR
IN GAINING BONUS
'34 Yackety Yack Editor's Peti
tion Granted by Board when
Compromise Is Reached.
Alec Andrews, last year's ed
itor of the Yackety Yack, won a
moral victory yesterday when
the Publications Union Board
reached a compromise and gave
him half of a $20 bonus for
which he had petitioned.
The yearbook editor receives
a salary of $100 plus three pos
sible bonuses of $20 each. The
bonus for which Andrews asked
is the one which is given for
getting the annual distributed
before. the end of school.
Defective Method
Although the yearbook was
due to the editor's desire to in
clude several of the late spring
dances, the board ruled that he
was not entirely responsible for
the delay and that the method
of awarding the particular bon
us is defective and open to cri
ticism. As a result, the board will
adopt a different procedure in
awarding the bonus in question,
probably stating that in the fu
ture the editor will have to sign
some schedule for handing his
copy to the printer in order that
the responsibility for the Yack
ety Yack's appearing on time
will be spread among'all parties.
