The staff consisted of Round Up provides opportunities Training tool for students Noticeable changes in the student newspaper, the Round Llp, occurred over the past Your years. When Larry Walker took Jver as adviser in 1982, the paper was in its 34th year of publication and was being printed on campus. Walker :hanged the format of the paper to a tabloid and in- stituted other layout and design changes. New facilities were added for the staff and according to Walker, it gives us our own area to do our work in. anywhere from five to 15 peo- ple on the average. The pur- pose of the Round Up was to inform the student body of campus happenings. It was not designed specifically as a publication for journalism ma- jors. However, the newspaper did attract many journalism majors. The Round Up served as a training tool for those students. Vivian Rice, returning staff member and editor, enrolled in newspaper because she was interested in journalism and wanted to improve her writing skills. Reporter Tim Beims, ajour- nalism major, commented on another positive aspect of be- ing part of the Round Up staff. You get an opportunity to write and I like to write. It's fun, it's interesting to go out and do interviews and meet people, he said. The paper was printed off campus at the Garden City Telegram and was published every two weeks. The Round Up was printed on Thursday afternoon and distributed on Friday. The newspaper cost approx- imately S100 per issue to print, and the money was taken from the Fine Arts Division budget. Around 1500 copies were distributed on campus and mailed to other community colleges and universities. According to Walker many opportunities were available for staff members. There were positions for writing, layout and design, advertising and photography. During the fall semester, Craig Sharp earned a percen- tage commission on ads he sold for each issue of the paper. In the spring, Kent Davison's advertising class took over the job. Since the paper came out once every two weeks, it re- tained a magazine style with the emphasis on features rather than straight news. In the future, Walker hoped to make the paper a weekly publication. Eventually, I'd like to see it become a weekly, he said. With the growth of the campus, he felt that goal was a reasonable one.
