Production Of Daily I or Heel
Involves The Work Of Many
By DOUG EISELE
1 he Daily Tar Heel. (elel)iatin4 it fOtli ;i!iiiicrsary today, is among the top college
newspapers of the country, employing student help to perform a man-sized job in the
world of communications.
"What goes into the making of that newsparc which is offered six days weekly during
the regular shcool years? Who are the people and what do they do who write the thousands
of words for ybu daily?
Basically, The Daily Tar Heel is like any daily newspaper published by private con
cerns or organizations anywhere in the United States. There are no restrictions on it which
are not placed against other publications in the '"outside" world.
Vet The Daily Tar Heel is unique in thai its editor is elected, pay where it exists is
small for the pobs rendered, and many tnanhours of. lite labor daily go into its making.
These f?cts, however, do not
handicap the purpose of the news
paper and its rele in the overall
development of the University. It
has gained respect comparable to
the independent newspaper and
parctices a freedom not always
found on University campuses.
Patterned after dailies, the Tar
Heel has as its key employes an
editor, managing editor, news
editor, sports editor, business and

Miss Jones. "We did remove the

She was head of the Latin De

with satisfaction that when the
girls she taught transferred to
UNC, they were accused by male
students of using Latin "ponies."
"The boys were quite shocked to
find that those girls could actually
man Latin without them." she
chuckled.
Graduation Gown
Mis Jones proudly states that

June. It has been through quite a
fpu; PYfitintt exneriences since it
was first worn in 1900.
"My great-niece and her brother
wore it for graduation exercises
the same day," she recalls. "There
was quite a bit of confusion as we
had to rush it from an 11 P--
graduation in Sweet Briar, Va. and
let the hem down for a 6 p.m
graduation at UNC.
Another dramatic event occurred
when two UNC students, whose
mothers had both worn the gown,
felt that they each had a right to
graduate in it. They both graduated

up by Tar Heel reporters on their

porters and then passed on to the
managing editor after a close look
by the news editor.
It is the managing editor who

Big Budget
The Daily Tar Heel is a business
organization that handles $46,000 a
year. This amoant of money must
be brought in through student fees
and advertising to provide for the
efficient operation of the newspaper.
The single, biggest part of income
of the paper is from student fees,
which accounts for one-half operat
ing budget. Local and national

of the income is from subscriptions
and special aclverstising.
The expenditures of the newspa

goes for printing costs. These costs
run to almost $31,500. Farther down
the expense scale is the $7,100 paid
all the salaried personnel of The
Daily Tar Heel staff.
Wire Services
The three Associated Press wire
service machines cost the paper
$1,770. Engraving rental costs run
to $1,775. And the fifth big expense
item is the telephone and telegraph
charges and postage, which takes
$1,000 of The Daily Tar Heel budget.
These are the biggest items that
are taken care of, but hundreds of
additional dollars must take care of
such things as photography, news
