Co-editors-in-Chief C. Benjamin Forsyth and Marc Joseph revealed today that the yearbook has been officially designated the Cornell Barrister. At the same time they announced the appointment of Pro- fessor William Hartley Shannon to the position of faculty advisor. Virtually all of the members of the class of '50 had their pictures taken during the week of September 18 for inclusion in the Barrister. It is the hope of the yearbook staff that they can supplement these por- traits with informal snapshots of students at work and play around the law school. In line with this program, the Barrister has initiated a contest de- signed to obtain the best informal photographs relating to life at the law school. Free copies of the year- book will be awarded to those stu- dents submitting the two best pic- tures. These, along with the three next best snapshots, will be featured ill die ,ublication. As many of the others as the editors deem of pub- lishable quality will be included in the book. Whether you think you can win a prize or not, said Forsyth, we urge all students to send in their pictures. It is these informal poses that play a large part in making the book interesting. Pictures should be sent to the Cornell Barrister, % Myron Taylor Hall, or left in the Barrister mail box in the corridor leading to the Men's Lounge. Positions are still open on the business and editorial staffs of the yearbook. The editors have urged all interested first year students to contact them.
