Editor Barnett Has His Worries, But Reporter Great Satisfaction Paper Has Grown Through the Efforts Of Previous Staffs^ Says Present Chief "'There's never a dull moment in the Reporter office," commented Robert Barnett '40, as he listened to the advertising manager report that he was running over his quota on ads. "When there's too much copy, there's no Linotype operator to set it, and when we have too little copy the operator is sitting at the machine twiddling his thumbs." Apparently, the impressions which stick in the mind of the present editor of the Reporter revolve around copy and Linotype operators. "The greatest satisfaction, if one should be asked to select any specific part of the work, comes from pushing plenty of early cop}' through the slot and hearing" the operator busy on the other side 0/ the partition. Seriously, though, I have never known anything that brings such a great deal of pleasure as to hold in my hand each week a cony of the Stetson Reporter." As Barnett suited the action to the word and picked up a copy from the desk before him, he spoke sincerely of the sheet, say-' ing that those eight pages represent the work of a staff which co-operates to the fullest. One who has never spent a period of some length in a newspaper office, he opines, can possibly comprehend the myriad of small details which must be managed, all joining to make up the filial product. "It is true that the Reporter has grown." he says, "and we like to think that it is better and better every year and week. But But we must not forget the work and sacrifice that has gone into the building of the paper through these five years. I pay tribute to those editors and their staffs that have preceded us." Press Club Makes first I Appearance Bailey Elected Head Of New Group The creation of the first Press Club on the campus devoted to the promotion of journalistic endeavor was announced Monday by Alary Axtell Bailey, Director of Publicity, who was elected first president of the group at its initial meeting. The club is to be dedicated to the promotion of better journalism both on and off thc campus. "Our Press Club is going to be an active, informal enterprise," -Mrs. Bailey said, "for we intend that it should provide a mcjtng medium for persons who are sincere]y interested in journalistic work." The plan for the Press Club was originated by Emmett Peter and Mrs. Bailey some weeks ago. Joined by Robert Barnett '40, editor of the Reporter, Robert Heebner '41, news editor of the Reporter, Sara Ellen Mobley '42, feature editor, and Gordon Kipp '40, past managing editor and first line reporter, the group met Monday to draft final plans for the club. Other officers elected at the meeting were Robert Barnett to lhe vice-presidency, and Sara El- lh Mobley to the post of secretary-treasurer. The birth of the club was approved by the Extra- curricula Activities Committee of the Student Government yesterday. Additional members will be considered for the Press Club sometime before the Easter holidays, Mrs. Bailey said.
