University Reporter. 27 Tbe Reporter wishes the students and all a Merry Christ mas and a Happy New Year. This issue of the Reporter we hope will find favor with the majority of the students and our friends. We don’t expect to please every one (especially the Emory Phoenix,) as that is an impossibility. This issue is gotten out after much trouble and at a great expense, and if there are any who think they could have done better and if they will kindly give us tlieir ideas and suggestions we will try and profit thereby. Owing to the crowded condition of the curriculum and there fore the lack of sufficient time that is necessary to get out a first class weekly, it is thought best by the managers of the Re porter to convert it into a monthly. This will be done after Christmas. By this means we hope to give to our readers a ; better paper and a paper that will be well worth their perusal. To our advertisers we hope to give them better satisfaction, | by getting up their advertisements in a more attractive form. I There are many disadvantages in getting out a weekly, besides S the reasons given above, we can only get out a very small sheet in one week, and one which does not do ourselves and patrons Ijustice. The reasons given above, we think are sufficient for ■the change which we have proposed, and hope they will meet ■with the approbation of all. i The Faculty have at last seen the importance of taking some (Interest in the college paper. Heretofore the Faculty have ■taken no notice of the Reporter at all, offered no inducement aor encouragement to its manager or editors. It has been run, jwnanaged and gotten out entirely by the students, without the least assistance from the Faculty or college, therefore the in terest has somewhat lagged. Now, the Faculty will offer next E'ear a prize of fifty dollars for the best editorial management j)f the paper for one year; also a prize of fifty dollars for the liest article published from the pen of an under-graduate. This 'Is a move in the right direction, and will put new life into the Reporter. The contest for editorship next year will be quite lively, and the boys will take some intersst in the election of ■lie same, and some interest in the paper.
