IR "Gnmeeack" copy into lead slugs,
cenes Sto
lled ashtrays. This story is a
omplex one by the time each
,eekly issue comes off the press.
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.
Copy for the feature and society
>ages is sent to Vogue Press late
donday night. On Tuesday go

'inally, the news articles are sent

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. A feature edi
tor, after checking his page at
Vogue Press on Tuesday, knows
