Michigan's "Official" scrapbook
-that's the 'Ensian, student pub-
lished yearbook for 53 years.
Shortened from "Michiganen-
sian;" the book's name came from
someone's mispronunciation for
the suggested name-"Michigan-
ensis."
* * *
THE 'ENSIAN began publication
in 1897, selling for a mere dollar.
In the beginning it was the joint
work of three then existing maga-
zine staffs, which were the Litera-
ture and Engineering, Law and In-
dependent mAgazines.
Many opportunities for differ-
ent kinds of work and promo-
tion are available on- the 'Ensian.
The editorial staff works on the
preparation and assembly of
copy and photographs. There is
work available for writers, pho-
tographers, typists and those in-
terested in the lay-out and de-
sign of the 'Ensian.
For those interested in the bus-
iness staff, there are positions to
handle accounts, contracts, ad-
vertising and sales.
ALL ELIGIBLE students may try
out for the 'Ensian. This excludes
first-semester freshmen.
The outstanding tryouts of the
editorial and business staff are
recognized each year with com-
plimentary copies of the 'hnsian
and may petition for positions
on the junior and senior staffs
at the end of their sophomore
year.
These positions include the man-
aging editor, business manager;art
editor, junior editors, and the pho-
tography editor.
The 'Ensian is published under
the authority of the Board in Con-
trol of Student Publication. Its
offices are in the Student Publica-
tions Bldg., one block west of An-
gell Hall on Maynard St.

as the U. of M. Daily in 1890 by
a group of non-fraternity men. It
soon moved from a small down-
town print ship where it was first
printed, to the Ann Arbor Press,
and the name was changed to The
Michigan Daily.
The present Student Publica-
tions Building, opened in 1932,
was financied largely by The
Daily's earnings. It contains to-
day one of the finest physical
plants, for a newspaper the size
of The Daily, in the country.
The most recent acquisition is
a new rotary press, installed last
month.
* * *
THE DAILY is published by
students under the authority of
the Board in Control of Student
Publications, which is made up
of students elected by the campus
at large, and faculty and alumni
appointees.
The Board does not censor
editorials or news articles.
It has general responsibility for
the success of student publica-

tions, but actual administration is
left to the students.
* * *
TRYOUTS ON THE Daily edi-
torial staff go through a semester
training program to learn the
fundamentals of reporting, proof-
reading, and headline writing.
This is followed by assignment to
the reportorial staff, with respon-
sibility for seeing that a particu-
lar beat is coveretl.
From this staff, the night edi-
tors and their assistants - the
junior staff - are chosen. Each
night editor is in complete
charge of the actual publication
of the paper one night per week.
The senior editors are the man-
aging editor, who has general re-
sponsibility for everything thatj
appears in The Daily; the editor-
ial director, who is in charge of
the editorial page; the city editor,
who handles local news assign-
ments and directs the night edi-
tors; the feature editor, who takes
care of feature articles; the pho-
tography editor, and the associate

editors, who are responsible for
the training programs.
The junior and senior staffs
are selected by the Board in
Control of Student Publications
upon the recommendation of the
managing editor, and receive
salaries.
Parallel appointments as night
editors and senior editors are
made oi the sports and women's
staffs.
* * *
THE BUSINESS STAFF has
charge of The Daily's finances. It
handles advertising, accounts, and
circulation.
Junior and senior jobs, as on
the editorial staff, are appoint-
ive, salaried positions.
The top position is that of busi-
ness manager.
* * *
THE DAILY has won numerous
awards for excellence, including
those given by the Associated Col-
legiate Press, Sigma Delta Chi,
and the National Advertising
Service.
