State Jair Sdition THE State Fair edition of The Daily Student was, perhaps, the outstand- ing innovation of the year. Under the editorship of Ernest T. Pyle, summer student editor, five daily six and eight-page editions of the Daily Student were issued at the State Fair. The editorial work was done on the fair grounds and the copy carried to Bloomington, where the paper was printed. The paper was delivered at the grounds early each morning, and 10,000 copies were distributed daily to fair-goers. The paper contained fair news, telegraph news and university publicity. Fair officials have asked the University to publish the Daily Student on the fair grounds again next fall as the official State Fair paper. [Page 286]

The Indiana ' Daily Student THE INDIANA DAILY STUDENT became established as a seven-col- umn four- to six-page publication this year under the editorship of John E. Stempel and Nelson Paul Poynter. Last year several seven-col unrin numbers were published, but this year seven columns was set as the standard. Various campus campaigns have been sponsored by The Daily Student and it has taken a step in advance in adopting a platform for the better- m ent of Indiana University and of Bloomington and of campaignmg for its platform. One of the planks, that for a blanket athletic tax, has met with success After The Daily Student carried on its campaign and sounded out student sentiment by conducting an election in conjunction with the Boosters ' Club, the board of trustees granted the tax. The Daily Student was a factor in boosting athletic support in the University and in putting over the Memorial campaign. It has been an adjunct to the publicity forces of the University and is read in every high .school in the state. Town affairs have received even greater attention from The Daily Student than ever before. The Daily Student took a definite stand in the waterworks question and carried on a fight in favor of the Griffey Creek plan. At various other times it has been an influence in local affairs. The aim of members of the staff now is to establish The Daily Student as a six-day paper and to increase the equipment of the University Press so that the entire mechanical needs of the paper can be taken care of on the campus.
