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.”
