MEETING OF SUBSCRIBERS IsI
CALLED, CONTRARY TO- PREVI-
GUS POLICY OF BOARD. III.

Close-corporation methods at the
university received severe blow yes
terday afternoon when the board of ed
itors Of the Minnesota Magazine, the
monthly undergraduate publication, de-
cided to call a meeting Of the magazine
subscribers for the purpose Of selecting
two association editors. s
close corporation, with the board of
editors having the power to name it's
successors. This method has been Sc
verely denounced by many Of the stu
dents and unavailing efforts have been
made to put the magazine on popu-
lar basis. In 1904 leaders in the move
ment for the reorganization Of ne
"Mag" appealed to. the faculty Tor
oasa TO- II be as e. the
publication to choose the board of ed
itors, but the books of the magazine
showed that very small majority Of
the reformers were subscribers or con-
tributors to the publication and; the
faculty refused to interfere. 49,. =
The action taken yesterday by the
magazine board fas voluntary, as no
undergraduate movement for change
in the Mag system has developed this
year. It is thought by the editors that
more interest can be aroused and a
better publication issued if all sub
scribers are given voice in the make
up Of the Mag board. =. ?. +.
