Show Chronicle Reporters THE CHRONICLE he had encountered during his term of editorship, while Mr. Wells outlined the requirements of the business staff and the field of advertising. Many helpful points were gleaned from the conference by Mr. Knudson and Mr. Wells, and wherever it has been possible, they have been incorporated into the Chronicle and have been put into practice by members of the staff. The policy of the Chronicle has been to meet the will of the majority and to benefit not merely individual groups, but the general student body. It has stood for the enforcement of all student laws and regulations and has aimed to support school traditions. The editorials have taken an absolutely impartial stand, stressing the enforcement policy and endeavoring to create more spirit and more regard for unwritten, yet recognized, school laws. Alan Wells, although only a Sophomore on the campus, has displayed outstanding financial and business ability in his management of the Chronicle finances, while he has served as business manager. He has contributed much to the success of the paper. Mr. Wells and the business staff which includes Paul Morton, assistant business manager; Bob Moore, auditor; and Frank Taylor, advertising representative, have made an increase of one hundred per cent in the number of advertisements. They have literally combed the city for paying "ads." In honor of certain events and days, the Chronicle has published several special editions, the innovations have been many and varied. In honor of Homecoming Day, Thanksgiving Day, and "U" Day articles and pictures representative of the occasion were featured. Late in February, the co-eds, under the editorship of Amy Jenkins, Helen Ellsworth, Marcella Nebeker, and Virginia White, published the "Women's Edition;" the traditional "woman's-stand" against the fellows was taken. The Valentine Day issue carried a large red heart, "The Chronicle Heart," to the members of the student body with Valentine greetings. In honor of Saint Patrick's Day and in honor of the Engineers, the Knights of Saint Patrick, a Chronicle printed in green was issued. The front page featured a large Shamrock which bore the picture of the Queen of the Engineers. In this issue there was also a picture section carrying pictures typical of student life. April Fool's Day brought the Freshman Edition of the Chronicle, a very clever paper. The "Greenlings" with Maurice Knight as editor, Frank Taylor as business manager, Henry Adkin-son and Jim Kelly as editorial associates, Earl Glade as makeup editor, Harry Cuss as sport editor, and Dick Parry and John Worden as feature editors, published a typical Freshman-Green edition. The last special edition honored the high school visitors of the state on High School Day. Early in April, the Chronicle sponsored a successful straw ballot to obtain student sentiment on the Prohibition question. The Chronicle took, during the voting, an absolutely impartial stand, making no attempt to sway student opinion one way or the other. The general makeup of the paper, which has been handled by James K. Knudson, editor, and his editorial associates deserves commendation. Throughout the year, the editorial staff has cooporated to make the publication the success that it has been, and according to Mr. Knudson, the reportorial staff has given invaluable aid to the Chronicle and has presented commendable material for publication.
