This in our mind has become a supplementary function as newspapers developed Indeed the original purpose of the newspaper was to inform its readers and to this day 350 years after newspapers first came into existance that is still the main purpose of the newsf paper Certainly the function of criticizing' or commending public leaders and institutions has its place in the newspaper world as evidenced by the stupendous amount of space devoted to editorials and opinionated material But any person who believes this function takes precedence over all others is more acquainted with newspapers through the movies and pulp magazines than through actual experience or study As long as newspapers continue to cover their front pages almost solely with unopinionated news as long as they spend their best creative efforts to make that information attractive to the reader’s eyes as long as they continue to spend a major portion of their revenue to gather that information then admittedly informing the public is the basic newspaper function ’ well-defin- Student Life Has Led In Campus Betterment Campaigns Mr Horton’s charge that Student Life has never led in any constructive reforms is entirely unfounded Almost any issue that has been published since its origin has contained editorials and columns criticizing and complimenting During its existance Student Life has led out in several campus improvement projects and this with a degree of success that is bt tter than average That we are not pushing these campaigns as we "turaally should s we admit But this is not a time to consider the Hurld nor our campus as normal Important as these projects may m ui they are dwarfed in the shadow of war If there is any unqaign that Student Life’s editors feel themselves obligated to pH h it is the campaign of contributing as much as possible to the war oflort It was quite significant to note that there was not to be found within Mr Horton’s list of proposed projects a single one ril'ted to wajs in which students can aid in wining the victory we -- a much desire In fact to initiate one or two of his projects might 1 n detract from our victory campaign 1 Expect Too Much of Their Paper We have been accused of issuing a paper which interest few Dins not the average college student expect too much of his paper? it lias been our experience that Joe College expects to find every bit of copy used in his paper of sufficient interest to warrant reading it in its ciitmty Just what percentage of your daily paper do you read 7 e are not attempting to avert a criticism that applies at least in part But the weekly college paper is at a handicap in publishing news since as Mr Horton states a good share of the items have already been thoroughly mauled in the daily press or oampus gossip circles Yet for the benefit of those students (the number varies from few to many) we repeat these reports A good share of the time it is upon the request of a faculty member or student Have Increased Pictures and Features Several innovations have been made on Student Life this year we in an effort to increase its interest to its readers For example have used an average of four inches more of illustrations on the front page than has been used during the past three years On the amount of illustrative material per issue spoils page the average seven inches above other years Where past eased mei been has editors have averaged four or five featurj items on the front pages we have an average of 2 5 items per paper during an entire year d We have substituted live feature items on the feature page for matcual And finally we were able to use a letter to the editor almost two yeais We mention this later item (he first printed for to a thorough student interest in b V’Uiise we feci it indispensible we know the wishes and pleasures of the can How their paper be if they never tell student body as to what our campaigns should Mudents Penn COLLEGE CLEVELAND PURCHASED A NEW BUT BANfckUPT 1 SkYSOPWtft fOR 000 MACE NECESSARY ALTERATIONS AND COLLEGE WITH CLASSNOW HAS A COMPLETE POOL ROOMS LABS LIBRARY GYMNASIUM AND DORMITORY ALL UNDER ONE HOOF 2000000 450 Ike: Where’ve you been?
