J. Robert (Bob) Verdun

Despite the initial name name format of his listed name, he isn't a libertarian. (http://www.bobverdun.com/index.html)

I assume when in his bio he says "Withdrew from Civil Engineering to pursue an opportunity as editor of the national-award-winning campus newspaper, which was a full-time position in 1969," he is referring to the Chevron. Well after Verdun's day, the Chevron was taken over by a cabal of Marxist-Leninists, stripped of its official standing at UW and eventually dwindled into nonexistance.

If I recall correctly, the paid positions continued at the CHEVRON's replacement, the IMPRINT, until another coup was staged, this time by a poet whose name I forget. The vulnerability of the campus paper to take-overs by small groups still hasn't been fixed as far as I know.
