An ordi nary object, you think? An everyday convenience? Something to be taken for granted? Faugh, sirs and madams! Faugh, I say! Don’t you know what prodigies of skill and labor and organization and art and science go into the making of your campus newspaper? Come, I’ll show you. I’ll take you to a typical office of a typical newspaper on a typical campus. The editor—let’s call him D. Fermin Bohorquez, a typical enough name—calls his staff together first thing in the morning. “All right, you guys,” he says, lighting a Philip Morris, which, natu rally, is the favorite cigarette of newspapermen, and of anybody else who knows a hawk from a handsaw, “All right, you guys,” says D. Fermin, “this here ain’t no ladies whist society, this here is a newspaper. So get out there and get the news. Get it first, get it quick, get it right! Ed, you cover the ag campus. Phil, you cover the School of mines. Wally, you cover home ec. Sam, you cover buildings and grounds. Ethel, you cover the men’s gym. . . . All right, get going!” With many a laugh and cheer, the reporters light up Philip Morrises, favorite cigarette of the young and agile, and dash away on their assignments. D. Fermin retires to his office to smoke a Philip Morris and write a fearless editorial scolding the university for not buying patches for the worn-out elbows of the chess team. On the rim of the copy desk three rewrite men — Tensing, Hillary, and Laverne —sit poised and expectant, waiting for the reporters to phone in their stories. They smoke Philip Morris, favorite cigarette of the poised and expectant. Tensing’s phone rings first; it is Ed calling from the ag campus. “Stop the presses!” cries Ed. “Got a scoop! Hunrath T. Sigafoos, professor of curds and whey, has just sold his article The Romance of Butter fat to the Drovers and Poulterers Monthly.” On another phone Sam is calling from buildings and grounds. “Tear out the front page!” he cries. “Got an exclusive! Harold ‘Pop’ Wishnograd, superintendent of buildings and grounds, today announced the purchase of a new doormat for the vestibule of Burton Hall. The last doormat, it will be recalled, was eaten by a pledge named Norman Harringay for his Chi Psi initiation.” Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city room, Ganglia Questover, vivacious and ubiquitous gossip columnist, sits smoking a Philip Morris, favorite cigai'ette of the vivacious and ubiquitous, and typing out her chatty, informative tidbits: “Maureen Valgerholtz, popular Theta, announced her engagement last night to Webster Scuff, Oliver Jenkins, Cosmo Erskine, and Walter Penn Dowdy. Wedding dates have been set for June 9, June 24, July 5, and July 18 respectively. Good luck, Maureen! . . . Irving ‘Behemoth’ Anselm, popular fullback, blew out 120 feet of esophagus yesterday while inflating a football. Good luck, Irving ‘Behemoth’! . . . Robin Kroveney, popular Deke last year, this year popular pfc. in the U. S. Army, writes friends that he has been convicted of deserting his post and will be executed on April 28. Good luck, Robin!” And now, friends, we take our reluctant leave of the drama, the action, the tension, the glamor, the churning, the seething, the roiling, the sturm und drang of the wonderful world of journal ism.
