THE eURPEE AND WHITE 27 The staff of the ‘“‘Purple and White,’” excepting of course the class editors, is elected by the executive committee. The new constitution has been satisfac- tory to all and it will no doubt be used by the association for many years to come. oO ENG IES Our exchange department is larger this year than ever before and we hope it may continue to grow. Any suggestions to- ward the improvement of our paper we will be glad to receive and we hope our sug- gestions to others may be beneficial also. The Oracle, Oakdale, Cal., is a well ar- ranged paper and were it not for the ads on the back it would have a very neat cov- er. We would be glad to receive more ex- changes of its kind. The Purple and White, Modoc. Oaks, could be improved by a more careful ar- rangement. The cuts are good and the material is excellent. The Racquet, Portland, Me. You havea fine paper considering that it is published monthly. Better than some of the yearly papers we receive. The general appearance of the Olla Podrida is not very good, but on review- ing its contents we find it had excellent cuts and material, With an improvement of the cover it would rank among our best exchanges. With the material you have, Oak, Berke- ley, your paper could be made very at- tractive by better cuts and arrangement. Oak, Visalia, has a good appearance and interesting stories. You have the right conception of a joke and your josh depart- ment is excellent. We like your cover, Sacramento Review and your cartoons are especially worthy of mention, The ads in the front of the Napanee spoil its appearance. Otherwise it is a good paper. The Spider, Gridley, is an attractive pa- per because of its originality of arrange- ment and especially interesting stories. The Kern County Oracle lacks volume. The material it has is good but there isn’t much of it, The El Cabilan could be improved by adding more cuts. It is a nicely arranged paper but would look better were the ads omitted in the front. The cover design of the Christmas Sibyl is very pretty and suggestive of the season of the year. We would suggest leaving the ad off the back of the cover and also those in the front. It needs more cuts to add.in- terest. We have concluded that the business manager of the Reedley Porcupine is a real estate agent, for you have certainly advertised your town well. Your depart- ments are all well filled and all in all you have a well written paper. CRD KD
