Yearbook advisor Dr. Perry Ashley said from four to six magazine sections and a binder will arrive May 1. Distribution to students will be after the magazine sections are assembled in the binder, he said. Remaining sections will be mailed to pur chasers. Some 15 to 20 colleges use the magazine format consisting of magazines covering different aspects of the University. Distribution of complete Garnet and Black copies was planned for May 31 under a decision by the USC Board of Publications and Communications made February 23 when it was learned yearbooks would not arrive until the end of May. Ashley said the latest plan, for distribution soon after May 1, will mean the Garnet and Black will be available while students are still on campus this semester. Under the plan for May 31 distribution, students would either receive the yearbook by mail or pick them up during a summer session or next fall. Ashley said, "No one has presented me with a beter idea. I really think it's a good compromise." Garnet and Black editor Fred Merritt said of the plan, "I think it's great. It definitely eliminates some big problems we were going to have with the book coming out at the end of May." Problems cited by Ashley included the expense of mailing the yearbook and difficulties in getting correct addresses. Merritt said students would at least have something to take with them when they leave school at the end of the semester. But, he added, "I'm sure everybody would like to have a complete yearbook when they leave here. That's the way I'd like it." The Garnet and Black was originally to arrive April 12. However, the staff missed all five of its deadlines for sending material to the printer, American Yearbook Co. The company said February 21 the books would not be ready until the end of May. Ashley got the date for partial delivery set at a Tuesday meeting with American in Clarksville, Tenn. He agreed that the yearbook staff would assemble the magazines in binders, a task which the company is not equipped to do mechanically. "There was a big sigh of relief in that room because that was something that was really bugging them," he said. Besides the early May distribution, annuals are to be given out during both summer school sessions and next fall. Students who haven't already bought a copy can do so while they last and will also be mailed the remaining magazines from the printers. Ashley said 2,000 copies are being printed beyond the 3,000 pre purchased books. Merritt said the Garnet and Black magazines, "Intellectual digest," "Ms. Carolinian," "Saturday Review," "Carolina Review," and possibly "Carolina Lampoon" and "Sports Illustrated" will be available at the first distribution. lHe gave a number of reasons for the missed deadlines, in cluding a reduction of the yearbook staff from 70 to the 20 now remaining. Two section editors, were fired and the book's associate editor never returned after the Christmas holidays, Merritt said. A problem with photographers missing deadlines was solved in D)ecember, he said, when pay was increased. Less money was paid, however, for photographs turned in late. Merritt said, "I'm sure the great majority of yearbooks that are printed m ss some of their deadlines." But, he added, "This year we did miss them worse than deadlines are usually missed."
