This is Today's
The Daily Collegian, operating as a $5O thousand a year business, is one of the largest
student newspapers in the country. Its operations are much larger than many small town
newspapers. Every Monday - through Friday the completely student staff works on assign
ments, covers meetings and sports
events much like reporters and ed
itors of a professional newspaper.
As a supplement to the local news
coverage, national and interna
tional news from The Associated
EDITOR DENNY MALICK and Assistant Editor Cathy Fleck
confer on the editorial page makeup for today's paper. The Board
of Editors sets the editorial policy.
STAFFERS CHECK THEIR ideas and the style of their stories with Managing Editor Bill Jaffe. He
assigns stories to be written and coordinates all of the news copy to be printed.
HEADLINES ARE WRITTEN by candidates and sophomore boarders. Amy Rosenthal, above, sitting
in the "slot," supervises headwriting as the junior board headline editor.
PHOTOGRAPHS ARE PART OF THE paper too (as can be seen
by this page.) They are checked by Photography Editor Marty
IT'S IN THE HANDS of professionals—Spencer Wellhofer, right, delivers finished stories to Bill Scherr and then engraved on the machine seen here, the Fair.
