SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 1948 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Garg Is Best Humor Mag, Says Gargoyle Statement Greeted by Loud Bronx Cheer By BEVERLY DIPPEL Rumors have spread throughout the entire Michigan campus that the Gargoyle is the best humor magazine in this territory. These rumors are entirely true. They have been perpetrated by the editors of said magazine. No one has had the audacity to refute them, -perhaps because of the fact that the Garg (a term of affection or derision, as the case may be) is tie only professedly facetious publication on the premises. Editors The previously mentioned edi- tors consist of one Douglass S. Parker, a remarkably normal- looking individual; Norm Gottlieb, entirely the reverse; and sundry other characters, many of them semi-human, who spend the major portion of their waking hours in- dulging in sparkling repartee con- cerning the finer things of life. All of these intellectual doings take place in the Student Publi- cations Building. In finding the office of the Gargoyle, the unin- formed freshman may easily be led astray by various signs point- ing up an impressive stairway. Beware! The place you seek is not the Daily, although that publica- tion is lodged above. The room, the lovely smoke-filled lounge you seek, is to the right of the door marked "Men," you cannot miss it. Six Issues In spite of the air of reluctant optimism rampant among the member of its staff, th'e Gargoyle manages to publish six issues dur- ing the school year; sometimes only five, still due to the reluc- tance, if not the optimism, of the staff. Most copies of these issues are purchased by students, who find themselves heading toward lec- tures in which the seating ar- rangements are conducive to rest- ful slumber. Remember that name, the Gar- goyle. c UNIVERSITY MUSICAL SOCIETY CHARLES A. SINK, PRESIDENT peeh t4 TWO CONCERT SERIES 1948-1949 CAMPUS PULSE-Pictured above is the Student Publications Building which houses The Michigan Daily, the Gargoyle and the 'Ensian.

All the campus news is printed in The Michigan Daily which is also a member of the Associated Press and The Associated Collegiate Press and carries the Alsops, Grafton and Barnaby. in HILL AUDITORIUM - Ann Arbor . , ,,,.. ,. _, , ,,. _..:..._.... . . n.. w. .. .. . Seventieth Annual Saily Puts Out Lit Magazine Last spring, The Daily launched an entirely new literary supple- rient in recognition of the need for a permanent literary magazine at the University. Crowded writing courses and the famous Hopwood contests were indicative of the urgent need for an outlet of expression by Uni- versity students. The new magazine published works in all fields of writing- fiction, poetry, drama and essay. It also carried art work, criticism of current books and records, and articles on special subjects written by students in all departments of the University. In addition to student work, contributions from faculty mera- iers on topics of current interest were published. The Daily will again publish the supplement this fall. When the .all for tryouts is issued, students interested in working on the sup- plement may apply. UNIVERSITY PULSE: Daily Supplies Coverage of Campus, In ternatiai Eventts Tailored to meet the needs of readers who usually have to get their news on the run, the Michi- gan Daily presents to University students in a brief, accurate and highly readable form highlights of campus activities plus complete coverage of world events. An eight column paper, 19 inches, the Michigan Daily is one of the few full-sized college news- papers in the country today served by the Associated Press, giant news-gathering agency. Uip To Date In addition, a corp of alert in- terested student reporters and edi- tors keep its readers up to date on activities in Ann Arbor and on the campus. Many of these neophyte student journalists have gone on to make a name and career for themselves in the professional field. Edgar Ansel Mower, nationally syndicated columnist, Clinton B. Conger, chief of the Berlin bu- reau of the United Press, and Wil- liam H. Stoneman, whose byline has tagged stories from the major world capitals, are only a few of the former Daily reporters who have achieved national fame. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Repub- lican aspirant for the Presidency, is another distinguished alumni of the Daily. Founded in 1890-it was only a four column paper 12 inches deep --the Daily has been in continu- ous publication excepting Mon- days and holidays for 59 years. It was published independently until 1900 when it came under University sponsorship. However it has sustained itself and its em- ployes through sales and adver- tising.

Ann buickService o tions Building which houses the city room, editorial offices, busi- ness office, press and the officeF of several other student publica- tions was erected in 1931 from funds provided by the Daily. Professional Comparison It is regarded as one of the best appointed buildings of its type it the country comparing favorabl3 oftentimes with many professional papers. Excepting for composing room workers, the Daily is published ex- clusively by students. Any eligi- ble second semester freshman or upperclassman may work on the Daily. Among its many features are an editorial page where any staff member may express his views over his signature, syndicated col- umnists, the Barnaby cartoon and a letter to the editor column where readers may sound off on what- ever is in their minds. While the intent of the Daily is not to be a crusader, its alert re- porters have often aired irregu- larities or injustices which have aroused the campus body and re- sulted in reforms. A case in point was the ques- tionable method of distributing basketball tickets last season. Pub- lication of the facts in the Daily, resulted in immediate correction Sof -the abuse., Local sports featuring the ac- tivities of Michigan's consistently top notch athletic teams are cov- ered by Daily reporters. The As- sociated Press furnishes reports on sports news from elsewhere. Perhaps the most valuable expe- rience of all derived from work on the Daily is gainedein the posts of junior and senior editors. These students, who have been selected on the basis of ability and service by the Board in Control of Student Publications, are respon - sible for page mnaksup and local coverage. Objective News Their decisions determine whether the Daily fulfills its func- tion-complete objective news pre- sentation of all the events worthy of publication. Constant constructive criticism by senior editors of the work 6f the remainder of the staff assures the Daily readers that their col- lege paper will be a professional job, free of mistakes and misrep- resentations: Students interested in the busi- ness end of the Daily have the op- portunity to work on the adver- tising, circulation and business staffs of the paper. And the Daily maintains a wom- en's staff which caters to the news requirements of the women stu- dents. Members of the staff of the Daily often serve as Ann Arbor correpondents for the Detroit newspapers FRENCH NATIONAL ORCHESTRA CHARLES MUNCH, Conductor CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA GEORGE SZELL, Conductor EZIO PINZA..
