.ia-i -mi 1 l, The Reserve Weekly NDER efficient management the Reserve Weekly has continued to turn out a style of news in keeping with present journalistic tendencies. Editor-in-Chief Charles Rehor and Managing Editor Ralph S. Tyler in the past two years have brought the paper out of a slump to near perfection. i I 1 ,. l . 11 .. l . vi. i' Y. ,, Lf- .

The XVeekly cannot rate with the big university dailies of the country, but a ii 1 careful comparison with other college weeklies shows few or none of them able -Y y to surpass it from the point of view of heads, leads, make-up and policy. ' The system of assistant editors inaugurated last year has been continued. T Schwin has taken the brunt of the work at the re-write desk. i The greatest single event in the growth of the VVeekly was a change of . printers, which enables Monday news to appear on Tuesday, a feature never 2 ' before developed. . Two noticeable contributions have been made during the yearg one, a greater number of human interest stories, and two, more readable and opportune edito- r., rials. 1 5' Anthony Weitzel, as feature editor, has developed in the Weekly a depart- H' ly ment that is common in metropolitan newspapers-feature stories. Interesting gl-'iii events of all sorts that are not truly news, but which have a wide appeal, have been used as the basis of articles which have made the paper more widely read than ever before. Bob Templeman, Business Manager, and David Sperling, Assistant Busi- ness Manager, have perfected a regular catalogue of advertising customers that assures financial success of the paper. Q The paper has been used this year to develop and express public opinion, a desirable and necessary part of any paper. This was illustrated by the attempt to better Reserve athletics.

The Red Cat ll.'X'l' sense of college humor which somebody said surpasses by far the lnnnor of the outside world abounds in a profusion of praiseworthy material on the campus of Western Reserve University, as is apparent even to the layman after a glance through the Red Cat, humor magazine. Real- . 7 ization of that now well-known fact came , ' three years ago by a small group of interested 5 7f',,f' students, and by the dint of hard labor they - published the tirst Red Cat. 'l'hus born a A R' wee kitten in the fall of 1923, Red Cat showed promise of growing into a line, blue-ribbon cat from the first. ,ller growth has been re- markable, so that now she is a large, con- tented, ctinstant-purring cat, the pet of the University. Red t'at's deserved success is noteworthy. tirculation has already passed the two-thou- sand-copy mark. Art and humor originating in Red Cat have been found in the movies and in a great mnnber of the better lunnor magazines of the country. Exchanges have been made with such comics as those published by llarvard. Princeton, llartmouth, XVasliington, Gettysburg, Massachusetts Institute ot' Tech- nology, Miami, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Likewise special contract arrange- ments have been made with some of the national humor magazines such as College llumor. Still again the Red Cat has been placed on many news stands for sale to the public. Thus it can readily be seen that the popularity of the magazine is widespread, and bids fair to increase in the years to come. This year saw the heydey of Red L'at's existence. The stall' was augmented and was selected with the greatest consideration for the success ot' the publica- tion. More and better art work, keener and crisper humor, and larger and wider circulation resulted. XYorking under the handicap of a lack of headquarters, the editors deserve much credit for the product of their labors. An innovation in the distribution and subscription procedure was inaugurated this year. Subscription for the four issues published during the school year was ollered for the price of three issues, thereby saving the subscribers' money and the business board's time and ellort. Individual sales and distribution were accom- plished by representatives at' the various colleges of the University. Keys were awarded to those members of the stall' whose work for Red Cat merited such recognition. Z6
