Great Growth in Numbers

During the last ten or fifteen years college, journalism has had
q wonderful growth, until today in many of the universities of the
country may be found student papers run on a metropolitan basis
and possessing complete editorial and business stats and owning
their own printing plants. Only fifteen years ago fewer than ten
college daiHes-athough many weekly and monthly journas-eX-
listed in this country; today there n many times that number.
Besides there are hundreds of weekly, semfweekly and monthly
and bi-monthly papers, each educational institution having some
sort of an official publication through which news, interesting and
pertinent TO the student body, is given publicity.
So great a foothOld has the college paper secured in the life Of
the student body that a school now which does not publish some
kind of a representative journal would be, in frank college slang,
called a dead one'-and dead as a doorknob at that. With the
college paper furnishing a means of getting university doings and
funny occurrences of college life into print, the students are always
interested in their official organ and keep it in mind as one of the
real things about their school life.
Through the college paper the athlete is enabled to bring him
self prominently before the other students; the sorority girl through
it gets announcements of her social activities before the jealous
coed Of another society. and the college professor who is not ad-
verse to advertising-f it is free-gets to the notice of his fellow
professors and the regents by means of the paper the news that he
has received a hattering offer from some bigger and better insutu-
ton.
The college daily is not always a newsy journal. Oftentimes it
is dull reading, but more often it is u live publication and prints
articles which at some time during the year serve to arouse the
interest of every man and girl connected with the school Even
the janitors and hired men on the campus find it of so much import,
; sne that nearly every college daily numbers among it's subscribers
a majority Of the janitors and other men employed on the campus.
Holding so important a position in the college life, a daily
student paper, when rightly conducted, commands much respect
and has a great influence, which it often is called upon to use. The
editor of the paper is usually considered one of the "big" men
among the students and receives consideration he might not other
wise have.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-22
Pay of the Employees

Practically all the western and eastern colleges pay the editors
of their paper salaries. In some instances the money made by an
editor in one school year of nine months is as high as $500 or
$1,000. Many students have earned their way through college by
work on publications of this sort. Michigan and Chicago are eX-
amples of the schools which allow the editors a good share of the
money made by the college paper. At those schools each year the
STATS of the papers hold banquets which are paid for by the money
made off the publications. Nebraska is an example of the schools
that pay their editors in university credit. There the editor of the
paper receives five hours credit each semester. His managing editor
gets three hours, the associates are given two each and the reporters
one each. The five hours received by the editor himself is the same
amount Of credit that may be earned by taking Latin, German,
Greek, mathematics or botany fol one hour each day during the
semester. 1t represents much more labor than is required to make
the credit by taking any regular study.
The editor of a paper published five or six days a week is forced
to give on the average at least six hours each day to his work and
many times several more than that number After his classes in
the morning he starts in to plan his stories for the next day. A
paper the size Of the Daily Nebraskan, sixteen inches long and five
columns wide, requires three slug head" articles for the front page
and from three to four for the rest of the pages together. No slug
head" in the opinion of a college editor, should be less than three
fourths of a column long, and most editors try to get them long
enough to fill the entire column. FulcoIumn articles give a front
page a good makeup. The editor racks his gray matter to get sub
jet for articles for the front page. Some days he has no trouble,
but on others evening will come before he has decided on what news
shall be made into Slug heads"
Usually, early in the afternoon. the editor will send out his
best reporters on assignments that he thinks will materialze into
good stories. The other reporters are sent to various department
and told to get every item of news they can. One or two men are
told to gather all the little doings they can learn OF, such as the re-
turn of alumni and the visit of young people to the campus. The
society editor is assigned a certain amount Of space each and has
to nil that. There is, in most papers, alocaI column in charge Of a
sub-editor This column is filled every day by that editor and he is
quickly put of the paper If he fails to keep il a newsy department.
With a good stan of men working under him the editor has no
trouble filling his paper with live matter. But on most papers il is
difficult to get a competent set OF men on a college daily, and the
editor himself often has TO write a great share of the news for his
publication. He gets up the editorials and, besides writing one or
two of the slug head articles, gathers many small notes and other
items.

Advertising Really Pays

College daily advertising pays, just as well as cues city daily
advertising. Ask any leading merchant of a college town and he
Will tell you this statement is tue. He will tell you the students
read the 'aGs' and patronize the advertisers. The merchant who
sells clothing, hats, shirts, etc, hnus no better paper for letting
students know of his goods, The attention Of the student body is
regularly called by the editor to The papers advertisers with a
request that the students do the right thing by giving these business
men their trade.
But the fact that the merchants recognize the college daily as
a good advertising medium makes the task of the business manager
ut little easier. He has to hustle for all the business he gets. A
Few merchants may ask the manager to call for advertising, but
they are scarce. 1t requires from five to six hours of work each day
at the beginning of the fall semester for the manager to get enough
advertising Hined up" to put the paper on a paying basis and give
him a liberal salary. After that his salary will remain at that figure
or increase, just as he continues to hustle.
Usually a contest exists between the editor and the business
manager OF a university daily about keeping down expenses. The
editor, anxious to put out q paper that will please, likes TO spend
money on cuts and special editions. These cost a great deal of
money and a majority of business managers are reluctant about
allowing their editors the money needed for such expenditures
When N editor has a manager who is inclined to keep the strings
on the money bag tight, he is forced to resort TO many diplomatic
tricks to get the strings loosened and the money he wants.
College papers in the larger cities have an advantage over their
CONTEMPORARIES of the smaller towns in the matter Of advertising
They have more merchants from whom to solicit, with the result
that they can be much more liberal in their expenditures in making

Influence Depends on Editor

The influence OF the college daily rests in the mental cauber of
of its editor. If a weak or incompetent fellow gets into the chief
editorial position, the paper cannot command a large following, but
when the right student is at the helm it demands and receives re-
spect II the editor is afraid of being dismissed from school, or is
kowtowing to a particular professor or professors, his paper is likely
to be a sheet which no one respects or takes much stock in. When
the free lance" has hold of the pen the circulation increases and
the whole school takes notice of the paper, whether its policy and
methods be endorsed or no. At such a time the grating members
of a foot ball board, the corrupt athlete and the "Uriah Heep' pro-
fessor get on their good behavior. This editor can make himself a
power for good and usually does. He fights for clean athletes. he
calls for fair\pay among the professors, boosts for the University
and all its institutions and prints every itenLof news that is fit for
a class of college men and women to read.
Now and then the editor of a college paper allows his zeal to
carry him too far and then there is trouble. Last winter at the
University of California the editor of the Daily Californian was
forced to quit school because Of some indiscreet words. The same
thing was repeated at Wesleyan university in Nebraska during the
chool year. Each winter brings new cases of dismissals for
we cause.
: lod do some of the young editors occasionally become that
they do not hesitate to touch on any subject, no matter how i'm
p6rant it is or what men it concerns. During the last winter one
OF the leading universities Of the country lost its chancellor and the
regents selected his successor from among the members of the
faculty of the university. The editor OF the paper wanted a man
from some other school with a big reputation; in fact, a majority OF
the undergraduates and alumni of the school wanted an eastern

Ownership of the Paper

AT most colleges the daily publication is owned and controlled
by a stock company composed Of undergraduates, alumni and mem
OF the university own the paper and appoint a publication board Of
students and faculty members to control the journal. From the
student standpoint the first ownership is the more satisfactory, for
under 1t the editors and managers are permitted more leeway and
receive greater compensation for their work. The latter ownership
restricts the policy of the editor, usually reduces salaries and makes
advantage over the first ownership: In paying little Or no salary
to the editor it cuts out Of competition for positions the men who
seek office only for pecuniary gain. The students who take the ei-
torial positions do $ 20 purely for honor and for love of the work.
These men make the best kind Of editors and give a college the hest
kind of a paper.
No one is quicker to grasp the humor of a situation than the
average college student, and no student is more willing to take adj
vantage of a funny happening than a college editor. For this
reason the columns of a university paper contain much of the humor
of college life and its people. Some of the wit and humor is Of the
highest order, as is proved by the wide circulation it is given in the
press Of the country. Professors, coeds and male students alike III
made the subject of jokes with equal disregard for feelings and ten
der spots. The higher up on the faculty roll the editor can reach
with his joke bludgeon the better he likes it, and the louder is the
laugh that comes from the students.
With all the good things that can be said about the college edi-
tors a few faults still remain with the average run Of university
newspaper men, In nearly all cases the editor has no superior to

responsibility that rests on the newspaper men on a city daily He
ais into careless ways-lets his copy go to the printer poorly
edited, prints much that is worthless matter and permits his report-
ers to become ruthless writer's. This is one o. the grave dangers OF
college Journalism, for if the editors get positions on big papers after
they finish school they then have to learn that a newspaper nostion
carries with it great responsibility, and their course for several
months is very stony while they are getting some OF the crude ideas
of their college newspaper career worked out of their minds
Not all college editors plan on entering newspaper work when
they finish school; a great majority, indeed, never go on the colIeqe

task. Then news is scarce, for there is not something doing every
day as there is in the fall. Basket ball, base ball and track athletics
furnish a certain amount of news, but they are not so important
as foot ball and cannot be given the space that the grdiron game
receives in the first semester. The editor during this second
semester is compelled to stir up his associate editors and reporters
and keep them moving in order to fill the paper. Special articles
about professors, alumni and institutions of the school then are
given much attention and the paper usually manages to get through
with a good record.
The business manager has no less a strenuous time than the
editor, but his is entirely a different kind of work. His salary de-
Ponds altogether, at most colleges, upon his own activity. He is
paid a percentage o the advertising run in the paper each semester,
This basis Of remuneration, of course, places the young business
manager in a position where he hustles for ads every day. 1t is
no easy task, as many imagine, to solicit advertising for even a
Is hEed with ads given by merchants who wish to be patriotic to
the school in their town. Nothing could be more remote from the
actual fact than such a statement. Outside of three or four men in
each college town there is not a merchant who puts an "ad" in the
college journal who does not believe he has selected a good adver-
Using medium.
1t is foolish to say that business men, year after year, will con-
tribute to a college publication believing they are getting no just
return for their money. The business man of today in a university
town recognizes the college daily as one of the best advertising
mediums he can get. He does not have to be urged to place an "ad"
with the paper simply on the grounds of patriotism. When he
makes up his mind to advertise he knows he is going into some,
thing that will bring him a return

No Use for Students"

The successful editor of a brilliant college daily is likely to hold
in lofty contempt the students Of the university schools of Journal
ism, and is loath to allow them to work on his publication. A stu
dent of one of the classes in journalism has to change his writings
a great deal before they can pass the bright college editor. 1t fire.
quently happens that the head of the school of journalism will try
to get the work of his students into the college paper as news items.
He meets with strong opposition when he does, however, and Is
forced to bow to the Will of the editor in changing the style and
making corrections that are demanded by the latter.
At the University of Michigan two years ago the class in Journal
ism was allowed to edit the Michigan Daily for three days, and failed
utterly to meet with the ideal Of the editor of the paper. For weeks
after that trial this editor took great delight in critdsing the class
and its instructors for pretending to know anything about how a city
paper should be conducted, when they could not even run a univer-
sHy paper SO that it was worth reading. Since coming under the
Quested an opportunity to try their skill at editing an official college
paper.
The college paper is quick to adopt the features and methods of
city journals. OF a great many Of the college sheets the cartoon has
become a fixture. 1t is run on the front page and serves the same
purpose that it does on the larger papers. University doings are
told without words, reforms are started, weak points of institutions
and professors are shown up and humorous sideights on college
affairs are given through these roughly drawn sketches.
Besides the cartoon, adopted from the larger papers, the college
publications have followed with the plan Of issuing extras, getting
news from other schools by wire and going to press early in the
morning. only after all the happenings of the day and night before
can be given to their readers nearly al soon as they are by the city
sheets. The wire service is employed generally in getting news of a
foot ball game or debate in some distant town. The extras are is
sued after some athletic contest and, especially, in the fall after a
big foot ball game.
The issuing of a morning paper with all the college news of the
night and day before requires a night force. There must be a man
to edit copy, another to read proof and a few to cover" night hap
the linotype operators, pressmen and a composing room man to put
the paper into forms. The students who do night work, such as
editing copy or reading proof, receive n small salary, and some Of
them pay their board and room by this means.

to Guide Their Feet Along Their Daily Walk.

Haven, the Columbia Spectator In New York City and the Minnesota
Daily in Minneapolis IRE OF the class OF papers in the larger towns
where the question of advertising is not the one of most concern.
Circulation Of a college paper is limited to a majority of the
undergraduates, most Of the faculty and a small per cent OF the
alumni. 4 school with an attendance Of 5000 in the west Will
furnish between 500 and 1900 subscribers. In the east and middle
west the schools With 1000 or 5000 students have a subscription
list Of 1000 or 2,5OO. All students are not willing subscribers
and it takes a campaign at the beginning Of each semester o the
part Of the\ busness manager and his assistants to get subscribers
Once secured, though, the students pay their subscriptions when due
and renew them when they expire.
Once in q long while the university editors are given a chance to
display their journalistic ability by handling a city daily for a while,
and then It is they show how little they know about running a real
paper. At Lawrence, Kan, the editors Of the state college paper,
The Kansan, we're allowed to edit a local daily for one week last
winter. The paper was owned and edited in Lawrence After two
or three days Of college editing the Lawrence sheet was hardly
recognizable as a daily paper, The editor of the paper was mighty
glad to get rid of the university men and he has declared there shall
be no more college editors placed in charge of his paper. He still
has several libel suits pending.
