throughout the state After nil

don't have to worry about this,
but tins is one of the many con
•iderationa of printing.
The University I*ress is a self
supporting institution Its money
comes from the printing Jobs
paid for by state federal or uni
verstty funds. This is a atric?
rule, so if you want to have the
recipe for Aunt Hattie's marsh
maliovs biscuit run off, just for
g'd :t It may be cheaper, but
they won't accept the job.
Tt would be cheaper indeed.
The press doesn't make any
profits, but must pay for replace
ment of machinery, wages and
janitor service. Wages and ma
chinery costs have gone up, hut
the printing rates remain low.
How? Superintendent Donald
Shephard sou says that time and
labor Having machines help. They
themselves are expensive: $21,000
for the new offset, press with its
•omponents, and $7100 for a new
tewing machine in the bindery.
I'he sewing machine alone cuts
the number of operations in half
and time by a third, {efficiency
• is the keynote.
Scores of smaller units of
orintlng are produced during the
year, ranging from the Univer
tity's commencement program to
i brightly colored folder extolling
dimmer sessions in Oregon
jchools, not to mention The Km
•raid. Several paper-bound books
ire printed, including the North
west Review and the alumni
magazine. Old Oregon. Other
books are printed in foreign lan
guages and a new text book
has been printed, Invertebrate
Physiology. The bindery also re
hinds old library books.
The presses work till late after
noon as the Press turns out its
slide diversity of magazines,
rosters and books. Its raw ma
teiial may be a shiny new text
hook or a battered stack of maga
•incs for the library. But whs'
•ver it does, that taxpayer may
be assured that his money is
being handled with care and in a
business-like manner.
