Athens Budget Clash Forces Yearbook Reorganization
Four students who arranged to extend the yearbook budget face removal from their workships after failing to secure sufficient funds. Officials note the joint publications board approved a $6,000 overrun and added a second business manager position, funded by yearbook ads, with the four signing statements to forfeit their posts if money remained unrecovered. The funding extension was not approved in the overall student government budget. The yearbook will be printed this summer and distributed in the fall, with uncertainty over who will finish the project.

He notes his colleague Gough has no political allegiances and subscribes to no theory.
