PAGE FORt THE MICHIGAN DAILY _ Rising from Beneath (Continued from Page 2) pressure. Increasing academic de- mands, the innumerable activities and distractions the University of- fers, and his Daily work vie for the student's time. ,Disconcerting questions begin to creep in: How can I find the time to do all this? How many other experiences am I missing? Is it worth it? Diffei'ent people arrive at dif- ferent answers. Some resign, some let their studies deteriorate, some cut down their. class load and spend an extra year at the Uni- versity. Yet.. . . many face and con- quer the pressures-of seven mem- hers of a recent group of senior editors; for example, five became Phi Beta Kappa's. Deciding it is worth' it after all, the junior anx- iously awaits appointments. Appointments Meeting sometimes for 20 hours straight, the senior editors debate the appointments and, in secret, finally make their recommenda- tions to the Board at its monthly meeting. Usually the Board sim- ply approves the recommendations, but when it seeks to change them in unusual cases there may ensue a whole host of resignations, In- criminations and declarations of "violation of editorial freedom." The night of the Board meet- ing, with the whole staff'. milling about the building and the hope-' ful juniors decked out in suits, ties and heels for perhaps the first time, the announcements "are made. Backs are slapped'and tears wiped away, and a skeleton staff plugs away at the next morning's paper while the rest scurry for the traditional party. The Seniors So with a mixture of pride and terror, the senior editor finds him- self behind his own desk (atop the Daily hirearchy' - counselor to freshmen, advisor to sophomores, decision-maker for juniors, and ultimately responsible for every- thing that goes into the paper.- His time-consuming job-around 60 hours a week-requires all the' MICHAEL HARRAH, Daily staff member, once wrote an article about the slovenly manners of the students in residence halls. As a .result, the students hung him in effigy. This is one of the many rewards of'being a part of the best college newspaper in the world-The Michigan Daily. knowledge of the University, of- The D7aily, and of people in gen- eral that he can muster. The senior staff is functional- ly divided into eight separate posi- tions, each with its own area of responsibility. Atop the. senior staff is the edi- tor. Freed from day-to'day re- sponsibilities, the editor largely defines his own job. Among his functions are representing The Daily to the Board, the adminis- tration, faculty and students, at- tending college editorial confer- ences and serving as an ex-officio S t u d e n t Government Council member. Beyond these responsi- bilities are the functions an in- dividual editor selects for himself, such as campaigning, for campus reforms, writing editorials which usually set the pace for other staff writers, and taking time to sit back and confront the broad, long-run problems that face his paper, his university and his so- ciety. Power Elite The day-to-day operations of The Daily's news pages are han- dIed by managing editor, an as- sociate and an assistant. Their rigorous schedule includes gath- ering story ideas, putting out as- signment sheets, making sure beats are being covered, supervising night desk work, \answering in- numerable questions and making 'hundreds of decisions a day, and writing out criticisms of each day's paper. The editorial director and asso- ciate editorial director put out each day's editorial page-a job requiring clear thinking, an open mind and considerable diplomacy. As The Daily editorial page is an "open forum" on which all staff members are entitled to express their views in signed editorials. the, editorial director's job is to put out the best possible editorial page-patching up grammar, re- pairing awkward sentences, and clarifying foggy thinking-with- out injecting their own opinions into what the writer wants to say. One Big, Happy The personnel director is The Daily's mother hen. Her functions entail running the trainee pro- gram, placating housemothers whose girls have stayed out too late, keeping track of which staff- ers are quitting, coming back, happy, unhappy, working too much, not working enough, get- ting all A's, flunking out, and so on-as well as being a patient friend, confidante and stablizing force for her distraught children. The magazine editor is respon- sible for The Daily Magazine, which is published about once a month on Sunday mornings. The magazine includes articles by both staff and outside writers, and pro- vides a vehicle for longer and more intensive writing, and greater va- riety in style and subject-matter than the regular Daily pages al- THESE are the inhabitants of the Student Publications Bldg.

At Michigan there are three men's, three women's, and one married couples' cooperatives which house about two hundred students. Here are a few facts on how the co-ops work. WHO OWNS AND RUNS THE CO-OPS? WE DO. Co-ops ore owned by the Inter-Cooperative Council (.C.C.), a non-profit corporation set up and run entirely by the students who live or eat in the houses. Each member, new or old, has one vote, and shares equally in all decisions: what to eat, how much to spend, how much to work. WHO MAY JOIN THE CO-OPS? ANYBODY. Anybody who agrees to participate in running the co-ops democratically is welcome. Members are accepted on a first come first served basis without racial, social, religious or political discrimination. There is no pledge or initiation peirod. WHAT ARE THE LIVING AND EATING ARRANGEMENTS? r As a roomer, you are provided with a bed, closet space, desk, " chairs, shelves, storage space as well as the social space and eating privileges.. As a boarder, you get twenty meals a week, planned and prepared by you and yourI fellow co-opers. "Guffing," our traditional between-meal snacking, is one of our most cherished privileges. Everyone has free access at all times to milk, bread, butter and jam, fresh fruit, cereal and leftovers. Eggs and some other items are charged at cost.a Any member may invite guests. There are adequate laundry facilities. Co-ops stay open during vacation periods and in the summer. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Each house sets its own budget. Average costs for the past semester have been: approx. per week approx. per semester For room and board $16.50 $64 For board only $11.00 $176 New members pay a $20 deposit when they join; it is refunded when they leave. There are no other dues of any kind. WHO DOES THE WORK? WE DO. All the cooking, dishwashing, maintenance and management is done by the members; each choosing the job he or she feels best fitted for. Any member, new or old, can be elected officer: president, house manager, food purchaser, bookkeeper .. It takes from four to five hours a week per member to run a co-op. The exact work time is decidedi by vote of the house. There are no maids, janitors, resident advisors or other paid employees. HOW ABOUT THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE? Co-ops aren't merely an inexpensive way to live. The men's, women's and couples' houses have together a good number of organized social events.
