Walter WinDorne, Sports Editor, prepares articles

Publishing Our Mon
More Work Tli
Publishing our monthly
newspaper is more work
than you think.
Have you ever stopped
to think just how your uni
versity paper, THE COM
PASS is published?
You’ve probably never
thought about the pro
cesses that it must go
through before it is avail
able to you. We feel that
the readers of our paper
should know the many,
many tasks performed
before and after the pap
ers are issued.
During the course of the
week, we are constantly
receiving letters from a-
lumni, friends of alum
ni, high school, college,
and university newspaper
editors, and many in
dividuals who want to re
ceive our newspaper. All
of these names must be
alphabetically added to a
list of approximately
2,000 other names. All
of these 2,000 individuals
are mailed copies of the
Compass free of charge.
All work done on the
paper has to be done with
in our meetings which are
held once a week from
7:30 until. This is neces
sary because our staff is
made up of students. Many
of us work in other offi
ces on campus, we all
have studying to do, li
brary assignments and
many of us have tight
class schedules. Our
small meeting room is
filled with determined
persons who help get
YOUR paper to the press
on time.
Our typists work dili
gently in typing articles.
They have *e undesirable
task of trying to discern
the editor’s handwriting
along with others who are
not legible.
Because of the distance
of our publishers, Law
rence Newspaper, Garn
er, N. C. there is a con
siderable amount of work
involved in receiving the
paper. They need 5 days
to prepare our paper. At
the end of those 5 days
the paper is sent to us
by bus.
The papers must be
distributed on campus.
With a sufficient number
of papers in each dormi
tory and other places on
campus, we then prepare
our papers for mailing.
You prepare the papers
for mailing-they must all
be folded a special way.
This job is one which is
very tedious, but with our
diligent workers, it is
done in one day.
We must compliment
the personnel in the busi
ness office for the
promptness with which
our checks are prepared
