Press, 'Shack’ Are Big Factors in
Publishing of Daily News Sheet
By CLARENCE F. CRAW
Tt is hard to toll .just what part
of the Emerald is the most impnr
t-nit, the news, the ndvert.iw.11g or
the mechanical end—but it can well
be said that not the least important
of these is the mechanical end.
The University press, where the
Emerald and the other university
publications are printed, is one o!
the last equipped shops of its type
in this pari of the country. Two
linotypes serve the needs of the ma
chine set type, while there are over
a. hundred different cases of hand
type with which to supplement the
machine set matter. The equipment
consists of two .iob presses, a Miehle
cylinder press and a ttoss Unmet
web press. This last press is 1 he
one cn which the Emerald is printed
and can turn out .'l.uOO Emcialds an

In the same building with the
University press, but a distinct part
of the university, is the mimeo
graphing department. It is in this
department that the dread papers
which spell the doom at the end of
the term, the final exam papers,
are run off. Then, too, there are
many , other jobs run in this place.
Movie Enters Building
A new phase of production has1
entered the building this last term
in the personage of the campus
movie. In one of the unused back
rooms of the building the movie
producers have transformed the
space into a cutting room, and it is
here that the printed film is cut
and pasted together in the proper
older and the titles are cut’in.
The other part of the Emerald, [
■ hnt which is known to more peo
ple than is the mechanical end, is
lie Journalism building, commonly j
mown ns tlie “shack.” Here it is!
that the reporfers are trained, both
in classrooms and by their assign
ments on the Emerald. The copy

in rank, is the editorial hoard, tin*

Here the copy crimes in to the
“day editor” who is in charge of
!he paper for the day or so he or
she, as the case may be, marks it
for ft certain head and passes it to
the copy-reader, or “copy slasher,”
as the individuality of the person
on the desk may he. Here the
story is “headed up” by the head
writer, the story is read for any
errors, and it is ready to be taken
over to the University Press to in
set up into type.
Desk Busy Place
The desk is indeed a busy plaeo
about, nine o’clock in the evening
when the reporters are reporting
with their stories, the head-writers
are desperately struggling to fit a
five-column word into a one-column
space, and one of the reporters is
trying to take a story over the
phone above the clacking of a bat

About ten-thirty the desk be
