Jack Cowart and Andy An-derson, the magazine's editor and business manager, respectively, pre-sented the money to Bob Randolph, class president, on Wednesday. The magazine staff' donates the money to the class treasury with no restriction, and disposition of the money is up to the class. It will be used as a partial re-fund to those members of the class who went though Ring Figure, Randolph said. It is customary for the magazine to donate money to the class, but this year's sum was greater than in recent years. Anderson attribut-ed the success of the magazine to a new style of content and layout, and said much of the credit should go to his editor, Cowart. The Ring Figure Magazine has a dual purpose. It serves as a pro-gram and a remembrance, for the weekend, and also as a means of making money for the class. Cowart said that by printing more pages of ads and by printing a boosters' page the magazine was able to bring a much better re-turn this year. Also change in printing methods, from letterpress to offset, resulted in a lower bill from the printer.
