Undergraduate Publications
The Dartmouth has shown a great improvement in that the ratio of news to advertising space has been increased very appreciably. The first issue, which was distributed free on the campus, was of 16 pages and set a record for the amount of news published. It carried four columns of news more than any previous issue. It is the intention of the 1928 directorate to give the College a maximum amount of news each day and to improve The Dartmouth in every way possible.
The College, the Sunday morning paper published under the direction of Professor Kelley last year, is now defunct. It was supported entirely by a subsidy from the College last year, but a similar fund is not available this year. A group of students decided to publish the paper this fall, but were unable to secure any support from advertisers.
The first issue of volume five of The Tower appeared a few days ago, thus setting at rest all fears that this worthy journal of literature and criticism would also disappear from the campus. The prosperous Jacko'Lantern started its twentieth year with a football issue whose alluring cover rivalled those of CollegeHumor. The Green Book staff and heelers have been working hard and will send the last copy to press soon.
More than 300 students took advantage of the opportunity offered by Mr. and Mrs. Hall to visit Dick's House October 1 and 2. Many of them had not seen the interior of the house before and the presence of the donors made that weekend a desirable time to visit this newest addition to the College, and at the same time to meet those who made its construction possible. In the short time since College opened over SO students have been patients in Dick's House.
The College was grieved to read in the first issue of The Dartmouth of the death of J. L. Morrison '3O, of St. Paul, Minn., who was killed July 2 in an automobile accident in northern Minnesota.
