KEEPIIMG INFORMED The aroma of freshly popped popcorn, a hurried pounding of typewriter keys and tired voices occasionally raised in consultation are what may escape from Spectator doors Monday nights. Monday nights, lasting from 6:30 p.m. to between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., are deadline nights for the campus newspaper and its nine editorial board members. The story of the Spectator, an All-American newspaper, actually begins each Monday morning when approximately twenty reporters and three photographers pick up their assignments in HHH 108. They have until Friday to complete their assignments. But since most know Monday is actually the final deadline, assignments are often handed in on Mondays. Once stories are received, they’re copy edited and then read by Al Mundth. editor-in-chief, or Monica Stauber, associate editor. Together with advertisements and pictures, the copy is laid out in pages. Headlines and picture cutlines ore then written. The last step on Monday nights is organizing everything in packets for delivery to the Chippewa-Herald Telegram, where the Spectator is printed. The printers have one and a half days to type the copy. On Wednesday afternoons about eight Spectator editors and the advertising staff proofread and cut stories which are too long. The paper is then published. Around noon on Thursdays. 6.500 Spectator copies are delivered on campus for dispersal. The newspaper averages 20 pages with 45 percent advertising each week. The Spectator has an operating budget of about $50,000. Advertising pays about one half the cost of operation; Student Senate allocations furnish the other half.

THE NUMBER OF... The Lobby Shoppe. Everyone knowo where it U. but not all that it offers. “The main idea of the Lobby Shoppe is service. Larry Appleyard. assistant director of university operations, said. Appleyard’s 12 workers are kept busy by students. They can be found doing anything from cleaning the counter to approving posters for campus-wide distribution. They sell stamps when the postal center is closed, novels, postcards, an average of 250-300 newspapers per day. and at least a case (2.500 books) of matches a week. The workers, who are trained individually with someone else, have to be ready to give out any information requested. A constant updating of information is available to them. With the Lobby Shoppe's enlarged service this year, the microfiche, a machine providing an easier and faster way of looking up phone numbers for University Information, is available for use. Workers also sign out chess sets, want ad and rider cards, handle the Lost and Found, take care of the Usher Corps, and make sure ditto or Xerox copies are made on request. Even with all this work, more services are being planned. Appleyard said they plan to have the counter redone to sell things students run out of when the University Bookstore is closed. Anything from pencils and Anacin to soap will be sold. Music which comes over the Davies’ intercom is under Appleyard's control. Students like a variety, so he mixes music from FM stations. WEAQ and WOKL throughout the week. The Lobby Shoppe hopes to get the campus radio station, WSUR. Although music is under his control. Appleyard caters to requests; if there's something special on. he'll change stations. The Lobby Shoppe, open daily, allows students the opportunity to pick up handouts available and direct their questions to an experienced worker like Joyce Winchel. Winchell. a senior Spanish major, has handled anything from “Where's the Tamarack Room? to How do you spell Chattanooga? 79
