Newspaper Makes Headlines
"It's twenty minutes past deadline, the publisher refuses to take our proofs (which we haven’t got yet), we have no money, no ar­ ticles. no editorials, our stories are three weeks old, and the newspaper is supposed to come out tomorrow. Maybe 1ought to do something . . . " These words were heard from Room 212, where once every two months Editor-in- Chiefjim McNeill could be observed climbing the walls and tearing at his (and his editors’) hair, "Next time we’ll be organized . . . " was the common re­ sponse to these outbursts, but unfortunately, no one seemed to hear the echo of the very same pledge from the last deadline. 'I’et, the Purple and Gold always came out, and was always a credit to its editors. The features were always timely, and the edi­
torials competent, if controversial. Rumor had it that sev­ eral editors were placed in protective custody because of threats on their lives from irate readers.
How did they do it.^ Perhaps it was panic power, or the sure knowledge that they would be lynched by the mob if the P & G came out late. The point is that, somehow, the newspaper just kept on getting better. Dedication, creativ­ ity, and diligence easily describe the authors of CBA's homespun New York Times. And, curiously enough, every two months, a few more gray hairs appeared on the haloed heads of the P&G staff.
