HARD TO GET OUT w ithout Meeting Deadlines A Review Session t . t J N otre Dame students are in constant review, whether it be reviewing a semester ' s worth of notes for a final exam or looking back over a disappointing foot- ball season. Graduating doesn ' t cure this tendency to review as proven at each football Saturday when droves of alumni return to relive their college years. In this tradition, the Dome 1982 year- book and the Scholastic maga- zine reviewed Notre Dame life constantly, recording its events and moods, and analyzing its issues and changes. The Dome 1982 staff, under the editorship of Ann Hardie, re- viewed the legends of Notre Dame. Living on no sleep and Huddle food alone, the staff met five deadlines spanning from September to February. Copy editor Barbara Bridges re- viewed endless sheets of rework- ed and retyped copy until each sentence said as much as it pos- sibly could. Business manager Tina Ross reviewed the books discovering the red truth that the University ' s budget alloca- tions were less than Hunter ' s bill. Sports editor Paul Mugsy Froetscher made the best of a bad football season and an even worse basketball season. Academics editor Jane Barber showed how hard it is to get into Notre Dame and how hard it is to get out without a little studying and involvement once here. Stu- dent Life editors Patty Jacques and Mary Powel Jabaley cata- logued extra-classroom life from concerts to coeducation, from Bookstore Basketball to Badin. Seniors editor Lou Ritten con- vinced as many seniors as possi- ble that they ought to be in pic- tures and intermingled features on the current N.D. legends among the Class of ' 82 ' s portraits and majors. Shooting almost 1500 feet of film, photography editors Chris Barlock and Jim Klocke answered to the editors ' calls to capture N.D. life in the click of a 26 Dome-Scholastic Our main emphasis is on providing the opportunity and freedom to talk more clearly about Christianity, its values and our growth in it. Chuck Wood Editor, Scholastic shutter. With the theme of A Legend On Our Own Street, Ann Hardie led the book to incorporate the little things on campus which are not always in public view, but which are also legendary. Notre Dame is not just a Golden Dome but the people who go here. New characteristics of this personality were an untradition- al cover and a weekend work- shop. With professionals in year- book journalism Nancy Pat- terson handling the copy depart- ment and Jim Sweeney impart- ing photographic wisdom and wit the staff learned to erase words that suck the life out of copy and to adhere to the theory of thirds in shooting and cropping. For the 6950 ordered copies, the Ed Board decided to have printed a dust jacket cre- ated by professional artist James Wainwright. Wainwright worked with the staff to high- light in a thematic mural the different legends of Notre Dame ' s past and present. The ten issues of the Scholastic magazine, Volume 123, reviewed the more timely issues and im- ages of N.D. life. Two-time editor Chuck Wood said, A lot of people refer to Scholastic as the literary magazine. It ' s actually more a mediating publication. The news is more thoughtful and analyzed deeper than is possible in The Observer. In its history it has ranged from a purely literary magazine such as the Juggler to a total sports orientation like an on- campus Sports Illustrated to an all-news magazine before the birth of The Observer. Advised by Father Mario Pedi and printed at Ave Maria Press, the Scholastic, under Wood ' s gui- dance, strove to reflect more directly that this is at least nomi- nally a Catholic institution or at least a Christian university. The staff of thirteen editors and twenty-five production people work on an approximately $40,000 budget and put out an issue of reflective essays and perspectives more personal than the news. Editor Wood indicates the magazine ' s mood is still ques- tioning but more positive than before. The main emphasis is on providing the opportunity and freedom to talk more clearly about Christianity, its values and our growth in it. Another innovation this year is the creation of the General Manager post. Clay Malaker, first to hold the position, over- saw the budget and advertising so Wood could devote his atten- tion to the writing editors in de- cisions about the magazine ' s content. With a circulation of 7300, the magazine does reserve about nine to ten of its 32 pages for creative writing. That leaves four pages for the Gallery and the rest is devoted to on and off-campus news, opinion and analysis. The Scholastic magazine takes a look at the way students live and comments on it, especially in the editor ' s popu- lar Last Word column. Reviewing traditional events or new happenings, year-long trends or month-long issues, the Dome 1982 and the Scholastic magazine offer a view of Notre Dame in retrospect. Putting in late hours, the staffs of the two publications funded by Student Activities, record and analyze N.D. life to ensure that life under the Golden Dome will be pre- served ten years from now.

HARD TO GET OUT mhout Quality Quality Control uality, according to Web- sters is a characteristic, an attribute, excellence or superior- ity. Quality finds its place all over the N.D. campus in educa- tion, athletics and the student publications. According to Doug Kreitzburg, co-editor of the Jug- gler, we aim for quality in each of the genres when choosing among the many manuscripts submitted for publication. In John McGrath ' s, editor of The Obserrer, words, We have all the tools, now we have to go for quality. The Observer, celebrating its fifteenth birthday, has concen- trated on acquiring the more advanced tools of print journal- ism technology. The addition of laser photos with a unique agreement to share the system with the South Bend Tribune ma de The Observer the only col- lege newspaper with AP nation- al news photos. Under the systematic supervi- sion of McGrath, the first busi- ness major to serve as editor, the daily operation has been stream- lined into an efficient process where each staff member knows exactly what to do, and where and when to do it. Due to print- ing costs and newsprint shor- tages, the student subscription fee collected with tuition went up to ten dollars a year. These student fees are annually de- posited in the bank to, according to McGrath, protect The Obser- ver for the future. It ' s our duty to the students. This money is saved and increased to pay for these innovations and for future improvements to keep The Observer one of the most ad- vanced college dailies in the country. The newspaper runs on a daily basis by itself on the funds re- ceived from advertising, classi- fieds and the 2000 outside sub- scriptions. For the first time, the Alumni Board allowed The Observer to solicit subscriptions from their mailing list, resulting We have all the tools, now we have to go for quality. John McGrath Editor, The Observer in a 40 percent increase in in- come. The Observer is almost more well read in alumni offices across the country than on cam- pus, remarked McGrath. The paper has also advanced in staff management. McGrath observed, In the past there have always been a few, all-star journalists. This year, there are no all-star journalists. It ' s the best team I can remember. This team went into action when Indi- ana basketball player Landon Turner was injured in a car acci- dent last summer. To help his family with the hospital bills, The Observer set up the Landon- Turner Fund, proceeds of which were presented to Coach Bobby Knight and the Turner family at halftime of the Indiana-N.D. game. On campus and in South Bend, events such as A Night with Knight and collections in dorms and foodsales contributed $6,000 to the fund. As the fund grew richer, The Observer attempted to enrich the paper ' s news content by hir- ing former SMC professor Walt Collins as a news consultant who daily critiques the paper and advises at weekly meetings and seminars. The Observer strove for quality in its relations with the Administration also. McGrath stated, After fifteen years, The Observer has come of age. We realize we ' re here to stay and don ' t have to be defensive. We can get along by cooperating but maintaining adversarial role as a newspaper. With all the mechanics achieved, The Obser- ver can now concentrate on qual- ity journalism. The Juggler, too, has come of age after approximately 60 years of existence. Described by advi- sor Professor John Matthias, as a lasting, old, Notre Dame in- stitution, the literary magazine has a lot of resonance on cam- pus and in its national and inter- national reputation, especially since it was awarded second place in the Coordinating Coun- cil of Literary Magazines ' National Contest. Shortly after World War II, the Juggler grew into a literary magazine and took its present form. According to co-editor Doug Kreitzburg, the Juggler serves as an outlet for student literary expression. Co-edited by Tony Walton and moderated by Father Mario Pedi, the Jug- gler receives funding from Student Activities. Choosing the material to be published from the manuscripts submitted at Ed Board meetings becomes a discussion of stan- dards of literary criticism, said Matthias. The selected works are chosen according to genres. With a change in format and fre- quency, now published three times instead of twice a year, The Juggler ' s purpose is to make the arts a viable force a known force on campus, as much a part of life here as foot- ball, Kreitzburg said. The Juggler solicits a fairly large response in manuscript numbers but the scrutiny is tough. Only the best material that can be collected, indicated Matthias, is published and when the choice is between good and better, quality is ensured. Vying for student attention, both The Observer and the Jug- gler strive for quality in content and production as two of Notre Dame ' s student publications. Jane Barber GIVING HIM THE BENEFIT.
