THE PRESS THE UD: WIDE APPEAL With its enrollment of over 19. 000 students. Texas Tech has equal or better the population of many towns in Texas. Providing this col- lege town with not only the news of the school, but also with local, state, national, and international news is the task of the University Daily. For many of its readers, the University Daily provides the better part of the news which they receive each day. It has been in keeping with this increasing responsibility that the University Daily has enlarged its coverage of the news. As a copy editor and news edi- tor last year, Bill Seyle has returned to this year ' s staff in the position of editor. The position is filled on the recommendation of the Student Pub- lications Committee. The editor then chooses his staff. Chosen for the staff positions were Gary Shultz and I ane Arthur, managing editors; Jean Fannin, news editor; Lynn Green, editorial assist- ant; Casey Charness, fine arts edi- tor; Mike Phelan, sports editor; Dave Ammons, assistant sports editor; Rich- ard Mays, photographer; Larry Check, George Proctor, Nancy Fire- baugh, Lynn Williams, and Gordon Zeigler, copy editors; Jerry Reese, ad- vertising manager; and Benny Tur- ner, sports writer. As well as developing technical ability, Bill Seyle feels that working on the staff teaches one a lesson about people. People will lie. You don ' t come out of working on a paper as naive as you go in. Before a student can be a mem- ber of the University Daily staff, some experience is needed. As a pre- JERRY REESE, ADVERTISING MANAGER Keeps the UD in business requisite to a staff position, work is usually done on covering campus ac- tivities to give a basis in reporting. An analysis of the news cover- age in any issue gives an accurate picture of the objective of the paper.

I and distinguished personalities find their way to the front page. The first inside page of the paper is usually devoted to editorials. Stu- dent editorials are accepted on this page and are printed as long as they are in keeping with acceptable jour- nalistic ethics. Art and music take their share of importance when performances are covered and reviewed, and personali- ties with artistic talent are given no- tice with interviews and feature stories. Sports are a big part of the life on the Tech campus and are there- fore given full coverage. Games and players make news along with the student body that supports them. In order to get the paper to the students, staff members sometimes work till 4:30 in the morning before they put the paper to bed. This makes the news in the University Daily timely, and thereby adds to its importance to the Tech students. In order to give this coverage and leadership, the editor and his staff try to talk to as many people as possible and participate in a number of activities. This not only gives the individual valuable training and expe- rience but also provides the knowl- edge needed to print a daily paper.
