To stay active, most enterprises equire money and a college news aper is no exception. Meeting he expense of publishing "The ,amecock" is the combined re ponsibility of the advertising and usiness managers. The former ; mainly concerned with local ads rhile the latter works with ad ertising on a national level. Where's the Copy? "I need copy!" Is a familiar cry c the various editors who assist he editor-in-chief. At the begin ing of each week, the news, ports, and feature editors check he office bulletin board for their ayout sheet. After they see the pace occupied by ads, they know ow much room is allotted for rticles -and pictures. A well lanned page will include few, if ny, fillers when released. The majority of writing for the ewspaper is done in "The Game ock" Office or Russell House oon 208. Good typists are in de rand here, for most articles must ie retyped before they can be sent o the printers. No cries of "Here, opyboy!" are heard in this office. ,ach reporter has a deadline to neet and a view of the USC imokestack for inspiration.

Corresponding with the writing S~ FR 111ro1TTI which, in turn, print the fini%hed ry Told of copy is the preparation of pic tures. Photographer and subject must decide on a convenient time and place. Most of "The Game cock" photography is done on the spot. When a newsworthy event is scheduled to take place, a staff photographer makes it a point to be there. On the feature and so ciety pages, he is able to use more imagination. When the negatives have been developed and the prints marked for size, they are sent to RPM Engraving Company where they are made into zinc plates. These plates are mounted on wood and sent to Vogue Press to join the copy. At the printers, the linotypers follow the copy, typing the letters on metal slugs. At the same time, the words formed on the slugs are being printed in single column form on a long paper sheet called a galley proof. After proofreaders note and mark any errors on the proofs, erroneous slugs are cor rectly replaced. Filling the 'Chise" Working with the layout sheets. Vogue printers set the slugs and plates into place on a metal frame with marked columns. If a story is too long, some of the copy must be deleted. Sometimes story addi tions and headline revisions are necessary. Even well-planned pages may have a gap that is too small to correct with copy, yet too large to overlook. Such a situation is remedied by the use of blank metal slugs, which improve the page ap pearance. The filled metal frame is inked and by means of a mallet and wood block, a cony is transferred to a sheet of paper. The process is nearing com pletion as the edi tors or assistants check the page proofs for any errors. By this tim', only small mistakes usually re main. When a staff member hands this proof to the printer, it is in its completed form.
