Reforming the
Publications
College eyes will turn from world
affairs to student politics for the
next four weeks.
• At Rice Institute, besides facing the always import-
ant business of selecting Student Association, publk'a-
tion, and class officers, the students will have before them
the problem of accepting- or rejecting the: provisions,of' a"
revised student constitution which the Student Council
will begin to prepare at its meeting Mopday.
The Council plans to make a number of small chan-
ges in the constitution to dear up ambiguities and vague-
ness.
But the major operation on the document adopted
two years ago under the regime of Frank Smith will be
the Complete alteration of the system of operating the
student publications.
VVe will speak^specifically for the Thresher, but the
saute will hold for the Campanile, though no longer for
the Owl.
The present plan is definitely a failure. This |>i.rl>-
lication is now practically a private business operated
for profit by the editor and business manager.
They spend as flffi as they can, take in n much us
they can, and divide the profits. The total of these profits
would probably stagger the uninitinted student.
There is nothing wrong, however, with letting peo-
ple make motley, The fault is that the money motive too
often blocks out the journalistic motive, and the result is
a sorry publication.
Realizing that this plan is probably tuo radical even
to be considered, we nevertheless propose the following
solution to the problem, noting that an infinite number of
compromise plans can easily he worked out between it
and the present system.
Let the editor bo elected at the. end of his junior yoai
to serve during his senior year. Let him appoint five
assistants whose duties will be broadly defined in the
constitution. The editor shall hire and fire these asist-
unts nt will.
Ench of these assistants shall receive one-tenth of
the profits. The business manager shall receive one-
third of the profits. The remaining sixth shall be held
over until the following year, when it shall be expended
for expenses of photography, engraving, extra editions,
extra pages, transportation expenses of the editor, and
other improvements of the paper.
The editor shall be paid nothing.
He will not be overworked and unrewarded. With
five well-paid assistants, whom he can hire and fire
when he chooses, he can get the routine work done effi
eilnitly. His job Ai;ill be to sot the policy of, the .pitpet:,
write editorial's, and 'supervise the 'work.
He will be working merely because if his interest ir
the paper. He can have no motive but'to ,see; how good a
paper he can publish. He will be aided by people who will
lie responsible to him for a definite financial reason. IU
will have one-sixth of the profits from the preceding
year to spend for improvements. He should do well.
Of course he. might pad his ear expenses. W'e don't
count that a serious objection.
There might not lie a man who would take the .in!
under these conditions. In that eventuality, which we be-
lieve out of the question, we think the paper might as
well be abolished.
The editor will no longer be merely the engineer ,if
'a good gravy train. His position will be respected on th.
'eahvpus; j; ■
The position will be sought no longer by po^jtl.u
students after a bank 'account -and a gold key. It-vuli lie;
sought by those who have a reasonable amount of time . ami y/Jn will
to give to extra-curricular activities, those who are inter i:ii;g:itftifng "I

Monday hid'ore last the Student Council
decided that under the new plait for tin
Rice Owl the editor and business manager
did not hold major offices, and consequently might run
for other publications or the principal offices in the Stti

Last Monday the Council suddenly reversed the :de-
cision, making the Owl offices major of,flees, and pre-,
venting the holders from holding other' important offices
