UCSC's new yearbook available for presale starting this month

By Francine Tyler

Starting Saturday, Sept. 20, members of the campus community will be able to reserve copies of UCSC's first-ever university yearbook, Synecdoche.

Synecdoche, will cover all aspects of student, university, and community life during the 1997-98 academic year, said Editor in Chief Eric Jacobson. Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines a "synecdoche" as a "literary device in which a part is used to represent the whole."

The "part" representing UCSC's "whole" is the yearbook, said Jacobson.

"As we like to put it, the book will cover everything from artists to athletes, Banana Slugs to biochemistry, Porter College to psychobiology, and everything in between," Jacobson said, announcing the presale of the 288-page hardbound book.

During the presale period, the yearbook will sell for $25. Yearbook staff will take orders for the book at a table in the Bay Tree Bookstore parking lot starting September 20.

The table will be removed on Sept. 24 or 25, said Jacobson, but people may prepurchase the book directly from Synecdoche Publishing at the reduced price until sometime in winter quarter.

After the presale period, books will sell for $30, Jacobson said.

For more information or to order a yearbook, call (408) 502-7385 (available starting Wednesday, Sept. 17) or send e-mail to yearbook@cats.ucsc.edu.
