(AP) The antics of Zonker Harris, Joanie Caucus and other "Doonesbury" characters will be featured in a wider format this fall, but some newspapers feel the strip won't fit with other comic strips. Universal Press Syndicate, which distributes Garry Trudeau's "Doonesbury," acknowledged Thursday that its requirement that the strip be published in 44 picas 7% inches, or about one inch wider than the standard measure has prompted letters from some edi tors. `One or two papers decided not to take the strip because of the size requirement.' • Lee Salem, Universal Press Syndicate Editorial Director Lee Salem, the syndicate's edito rial director, said the wider meat sure was ordered because "Doonesbury" contains more text than most strips. "It is very depen- dent upon language and frequently runs 100 words on one release. Some strips may run only eight, 10 or 12 words," he said. There was no size restriction on the strip before publication was halted in January 1983 when Tru deau began a leave of absence. Salem said he was not aware of such restrictions on any other com ic strip. He said the size provision was a joint decision by Trudeau and the syndicate before the July 14 an nouncement that Trudeau was re suming his work and "Doonesbury" would begin ap pearing in newspapers again on Sept. 30. The size requirement is not writ ten into contracts, Salem said, but newspapers are advised in letters of the requirement. "As an anal ogy," he said, "there have been times whe newspapers have alter ed texts. That's not covered in the contract either. But we go to them and say if you do that again we will exercise our right to pull the strip." "We've received seven or eight letters from newspapers urging us to reconsider. One or two papers decided not to take the strip be cause of the size requirement," Salem said, adding that the syndi cate was restating its position in responses to the letters. The Daily Collegian Friday, July 27, 1984 "We're hoping they can be flexi ble," he said, noting that some newspapers run strips wider than the standard 38.5 picas 6 7-16 inches or in sections of the news paper other than the comic pages. Despite the controversy, Salem said, the syndicate has signed 450 newspapers for "Doonesbury" since the July 14 announcement and hopes to exceed the 726 clients it had for the strip previously. Michael E. Waller, ' editor of the Kansas City Star and Times, said Thursday that he has not made a final decision on whether to run the reborn strip. "But, frankly, we're headed toward not accepting it as long as there is a size restriction because we don't feel somebody else should be editing our newspa per," Waller said. "Doonesbury's good, but he's not that good," James G. Minter, edi tor of the Atlanta Journal and Con stitution, told The Washington Post. "We'll be happy to have him back, but on our own terms." John Driscoll, executive editor of The Boston Globe, told the Post his newspaper would "do our best to try to figure something out," while Scott Bosley, managing editor of features for the Detroit Free Press, said he had agreed to buy the strip though he thought the requirement was "arrogant."
