Iowa City. Sept. 3.-This year at the
State University OF Iowa two daily pa
pers will be published by the students.
The first paper to enter the daily field
was the 8. u. /. Quill. which for ten
years has been published as a weekly
literary journal, and differed from the
ordinary paper by being issued in mag
iazine form and paying more attention
to the literary productions ,of the stu
dents than the news features This
year. however. two students of the new
school of journalism established at the
university last year secured control of
the business end of the Quill, and are
now writing advertising contracts for a
daily paper which is to be named the
Iowa Quill.
The Quill had no sooner announced its
new purpose than Fred c. McCutchen.
one of the business managers and own
er of the Vidette Reporter issued the
announcement that the Vidette would
be issued daily. The vidette has been
issued tri-weekly at the university for
over thirty years.
Last year under the editorship OF r.
A. Cook the Vidette made proud rec
ord as university newspaper and kept
things going in the school. At times the
faculty were appealed to and asked to
suppress the publication Of the vidette
as that paper has always had an opin-
ion and was never backward in express
ing the same.
For years there has been warm fight
between the two papers both struggling
for supremacy in the rather limited
field of the college patronage. This year
will prove no exception to the rule. The
managers Of both papers admit that
there is but room for one daily paper
at the university and realize that this
year will determine the question as to-
which paper will-occupy the field.
Both of the papers have large list
of students on their editorial star, these
editors and reporters working without
charge for the business managers Who
run all risks of making the papers pay.
In the past the papesr have paid a small
amount over the cost OF publication but
1t is anticipated that both may lose
money this year.

newspapers will be the best equipped
