Jw.t Hm’COx, Editor Ron Brown, Business Manager Student 'X' Complains :I' Now and again, when we •come to grips with something which effects students in a -rather specialnvay, we try to ■imagine ourselves talking to an “average” student. We let Skim (or her) take a seat in -fbe office and start asking ^questions, always, of course, about this special problem. Our most recent imaginary interview, for your informa tion, was yesterday when stu dent “X” walked in, slammed -the door, crushed out his cig arette on the desk and bellow ed : ;■ “What, in the name of God, tfoave you done to this paper? I •remember last year when you *flad eight pages five times a week. And we used to get it the morning, too. Now . . . **t’s a mess. And you don’t get •>it out until half of us have -gone back to bed for the night, i “ Well, it’s really not as bad as all that,” we said. 1 N o, 11 s w o r s e," h e sneered. “What do you guys do over there? Feed dollar -'bills to the squirrels?” All of a sudden rto money. Well, out .with it. Who went to Mex ico ?” t “Look,” we said, “nobody's •gone to Mexico . . . yet. And nobody's to blame, either. We’ve been having financial difficulties, but it’s no excep tion.” “Oh,” he said, unconvinced. *Well, how long is this going •to last anyway?” f “Near as we can tell we’ll continue on as is to the end of -this term,” we replied. “It de '<a§*ends a lot on advertising.” 41 “Clear as mud,” he retort ed. “I'd still like to know just what happened.” “Well,” we said, “it’s this way. We have to make so much off advertising each day to keep within our budget. In a rough sort of way, if it costs $100 to print one four-pager, about $50of it comes from stu dent fees and the other $50 from advertising. But we haven't been able to make that much for some time. “Last term, for example, we went over $600 in the hole. We made some of that up by cutting off issues near the last of the term — all but about $250 of it. In the first two weeks of spring we lost an other $200. We just couldn’t go on that way, losing money day after day. “But why the noon paper?” he mumbled. “Why didn’t you put it out in the morning like you did before?” “Simple," we said. “By put ting it out in the morning, we think we’ll be able to save about $20 a day in printing costs. The situation was that bad . . . we had to make every saving possible. You’ll notice we also cut off deliveries and cut our remaining 1952-53 budget to pieces. We had to do that.” “So we’re stuck with it, I suppose,” he said. “Well, I still don’t like it.” “We don’t e i t h e r,” we agreed, “but we’ll live with it . . . and so will you. You’ve still got a paper, and that’s the important thing. And as soon as we can see our way clear, we’ll try to get back to the old system.” Spring! When a... ,| “Lemonade!
