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.
