old policy goes on paid circulation two campus publications make joint campaign in order to assure continued existence a three-year experiment of gratuitous circula tion of the bee comes to a formal close today with the beginning of the first bee-bison joint circula ition campaign because of the fact that neither campus publication receives an ap propriation from the student ac tivities fee of 12 they are depen dent for their existence solely upon income from advertisers in the past advertising revenue had been more than sufficient to cover expenses and in fact some years profits ranging in excess of 600 were recorded however this year the rise in printing costs and a decrease in the volume of ad vertising due to business condi tions in general makes the need of revenue from another source im perative both the bee and the bison have operated at a deficit thus far this year and must increase their income in order to continue since its founding in 1921 17 years ago with only the exception of the period 1934,37 the bee has maintained a subscription price ranging from 1.50 to 2.00 charging for the paper 1b noth ing new rather it la tbe free de livery of recent years that has been new the large majority of college papers all over the country charge rates either through stu dent activities fees or direct col lection ranging up to thirty and forty times as high as the bee and bison propose to do other colleges go so far in sup porting their papers as to pay their editors salaries ranging up into thousands of dollars the editorial staff of the bee asks for nothing like that foolishly perhaps but nevertheless they slave on re warded only by the school spirit they acquire in running a school activity one essential however that cannot be ignored is that the printer must be paid it the bee continues to exist the bee combining with the bison will charge a combination price of one dollar for next sem ester the price to include five is sues of the bison and fifteen is sues of tbe bee which if pur chased singly would cost 1.50 thereby bringing the price of the bee to twenty-five — less than two cents a copy mcgarry reid given leave sabbatical leave is grant ed to
