w many of us students actu- L ally take time out to read a newspaper other than the Daily Wildcat? The percentage of students who read a newspaper or listen to the news everyday reaches only eleven percent. That is not very many students considering the number of students on campus numbered 35,000. So what gets a student to read?

So, look at the pictures and read the articles and see how much you remember that hap- pened during your school year. @ Suzi Shoemaker 128 NEWS DIVISION
