Junior Staff Publish
Rogue News' Edition
It has been a tradition for the juniors of the
journalism staff to publish the April edition of the
"Rogue News." The purpose is to give the 'core' of
next year's staff experience, and at the same time,
give senior staff members more time to edit the
Senior Edition" which is issued in May.
The news gathering, feature writing, head
Ineing, proof-reading, advertising, and lay-out pn
cedures are no easy task, especially when the jun
ior staff numbers only seven!
It has also been the custom in past years to
publish this month's paper as an April Fool edi
tion. Thus, you will find several articles featuring
this subject.
We of the junior staff hope you will find this
paper of interest.
