According to Dr. F. G. Pearson, council chairman, the Tavi was a victim of constantly escalating production costs and dwindling interest by the college's student-body- . "The cost of printing an annual yearbook has reached the point at which only privately- - supported colleges and universities can afford them," stated Pearson. "And besides, most of the stud- ents on the SUSC campus have shown little interest in either working on the yearbook staff or buying the finished product." Pearson continued by praising the efforts of Geri Lambson, the 1981-8- 2 Tavi editor. "Geri y has worked almost this year to put together the college's final yearbook. It is through her dedication and the hard work of her small staff that the book will be completed and released this summer."

If the publication's pre sents plans are approved by the Student Senate, the newspaper will expand its staff, number of issues per week and editorial content.

"The quality of the newspaper has improved dramatically in the Jim Dillard, past year and should continue to improve as the changes are implemented." The most significant change will be the creation of paid staff positions beginning in September. "At the present time, the Thunderbird is the only college newspaper in the state without a paid staff," stated Dillard. "As a matter of fact, the salary for the editor positions at the University of Utah and BYU are comparable to professional newspaper salaries." "In the past, we were only able to offer the newspaper staff members publication experience and the satisfaction of producing a newspaper for the many hours of work they devoted each week," he continued. "Now we will be able to reward them monetarily for their efforts." 3 time. Interested persons are encouraged to contact Dr. S.S. Moorty in the English Department for an application.
