| Show I i MR STUDENT S DO D 0 YOU YO U W WA WANT ANT NT I SECOND RA TE PUBLIA HILE the final decision of the the apportionment t board is i is undecided un w WHILE decided there is s not the slightest question of a doubt but butS S what the publications of the University arc are facing the greatest greatest great great- est crisis in their history The apportionments for the publications this year are arc less than 10 per percent cent higher than that thai o of last year while the co cost t of production for forthe forthe forthe the Chronicle i is per cent increase over that of last ast year there is isan isan is isan an increase of 90 per cent in In producing the tho Hum HumBug That something must happen is is a foregone conclusion One fact is certain the tho apportionment board cannot apportion funds which it has not It is is true that tha the e various various a activities asked for or to successfully man their activities as against the possible to be divided The next logical question is What will happen There are two possible paths open to the Chronicle Chr and the Hum- Hum Bug First the Chronicle may drop back into the tho class class- of second rate univ universities and publish a weekly If this path is followed it will relinquish its only right to sit at tit the publication table of first class universities for today with a semiweekly it is one of the only universities universities universities uni uni- between the Middle West and the coast which publishes more than tIJan once a wc week k Again there is enough campus news at the University of Utah to justify a semiweekly and even at this interval of issuance issuance much of the news is ic subjected to condensation to make room for all the news news Is it possible for the student body of this University to keep stride strideS with the sixty or so activities should the college newspaper be cut to S once a week This S 'S the tie first alternative S As a se second Orid s solution lut on the Chronicle might reduce its size size to the the publication of the tho Salt Lake High school a four-column four paper pa l In doing th this s the standard would not only bo p permanently injured d but th the Chronicle would be bo the tho smallest c college paper paper in in the United States The available space for far the tIo featuring of news would also be reduced and many well deserving bits of news would be relegated rele role gated to tor small insignificant items S Neither of eLf these two alternatives will be con considered by a deep thinking self respecting student body As to the Hum-Bug Hum what must happen S According to the he recommend recommendation of the apportionment board itis it itis is advised that the Hum Bug do one of two things They are ace 1 To cut t the e period of pf issuance td four times a year yea or 2 to cut down the tho SI size of the publication S T rr To m maI make J the tl-Ie H Him Bug m- m Bug Bug- Buga a quarterly would be worse than han not having having hav hav- ing ng a humor publication af at all At the present time it is not at all egotistical to say that the tho Hum-Bug Hum is attaining a national reputation It has been bean quoted in Life Lifo in and nd invariably appears whenever a group of the famous muuS college humor magazines are mentioned Last year when Bobbs Bobbs Merrill Publishing company of Indianapolis Ind decided to publish a collection of the best American wit and humor the HumBug HumBug HumBug Hum- Hum Bug although then less than a year old was included among the twenty or 10 so favored o This reputation is the result of efficiency S ncy of issuance It It is because bo- bo cause calise the Pe Hum Bug was issued once a month and did those things which the large humor publications did dd That publication today which is is eccentric in in issuance issuance or size is size is not considered a first class r representative magazine After a conference called immediately following the open meeting S of the apportionment board the editors of the the Chronicle Chronicle and the HumBug Hum Hum- Bug discussed the possible possible alternatives It Was decided that the students students stu stu- dents of the University should be bo consulted and a vote taken on the next step Consequently at a mass meeting S Friday which will precede the th football rally for the game the question will be put to a vote THE ONE REMEDY WHICH WILL PERMIT THE CHRONICLE CHRONICLE CHRON CHRON- ICLE AND THE HUM-BUG HUM TO REMAIN FIRST CLASS PUBLICATIONS WILL BE PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT Doubtless many will accuse that the increase c in the price of f the student activity cards should have havo t taken ken care of alt all activities These gentlemen however have failed absolutely to take into account the fact that the Hum Hum- Hum Dug ug is ent entering ring the fold of the thc student body for the first time this year and furthermore that the miserable schedule of football this year has caused a very largo large deficit in in football If the student body does not offer to come to the aid of the Utah publication in this crisis it is very probable that Editor Hancock will seek th r light i ht from the A. A S S. S U. U U. U e 0 committee to sell his Hum Bug on the campus at 15 cents a a copy Should he decide on this step to save the Hum Bug from worse than ignominy he ho is is basing his argument on this fact that he could sell at least 1000 copies judging judging judg judg- ing from the sales of last year while the stipend from the apportionment apportion ment mont board is considerably less than 50 50 President in prefacing his address to the students at the he assembly will point out where the purchasing value of the student activity card is considerably larger than its cost value IF THE STUDENTS WANT A SEMIWEEKLY NEWSPAPER AND A MONTHLY HUMOR MAGAZINE THEY WILL VOTE FAVORABLY FAVORABLY FAVORABLY FA FA- FA- FA 1 ON PRESIDENT PROPOSITION NEXT FRIDAY |
