alters paper
By Susie Reitz
A change in production has
. altered the Daily Nebraskan
this semester.
The look is designed to be
more professional, according to
Kitty Policky, production
manager. The typeface has
been changed from Univers to
Press, Roman type and is
designed to look more like a
"real newspaper". The headline
type is the same but the
standing heads (on the
columns) are scheduled to be
changed.
Column width was' changed
and the boxes around the
stories were replaced with
double lines to improve
readability, according to
Policky.
New printer
Because of some problems
in production last semester the
Daily Nebraskan is now being
printed by a new printer, Sun
Newspapers of Lincoln, Inc.
Other problems in
production caused by the
typesetting machines, have
been eliminated with the
addition of a new
computerized system for
setting type.
With the old system the
stories were typed from the
reporter's original copy and
then fed into a machine which
set the story in type. The
machine was known to "eat"
the stories fed into it from
time to time, said Policky,
resulting in a loss of time for
the typesetter and higher costs.
"Ghost writing"
With the new computerized
method, the story is typed
from the reporter's original
onto a tape. The tape is then
put on a machine which "tells"
a typewriter how to set the
story in type. The computer
can be programmed to type
certain column widths and can
print several sizes of type.
The effect, to an observer, is
much like that of a player
piano. The keys of the
typewriter move without
touching them and "ghost
write" the story.
This particular system is
leased by the Daily Nebraskan,
from the IBM Corp., at a cost
of approximately $700 a
month according to Kelly
Baker, chairman of the
Publication board. The system
is an obsolete edition by IBM
and is being used until another
more advanced system' is
produced, said Policky.
Savings
The new machines are a
boost to production because
they allow a savings in labor
and time. There aie two of the
recordersetting machines,
instead of the one former
typesetting machine. Another
timesaving advantage is the
availability of repair. IBM has a
local center and repairmen can
be called if something breaks
down. With the old
Compugrapldc machines, the
nearest repair center was
Boston and a breakdown could
stop production for a week or
more, Policky said.
The new Daily Nebraskan is
designed to "express the
individualism of this semester's
staff and the uniqueness of this
year's students" Wes Albers,
Daily Nebraskan editor-in-chief
wrote in an editorial.
The new design is still in
stages of development and has
a "lot of finishing yet to do",
said Policky, but it's on the
way.

WTH LONGEST
YARD" is a movie that
cracks a lot of jokes.
And a lot of bones.
Burt Reynolds stars-
tough, sassy-and
always that fire.
The wrath of a
woman scorned starts
his trouble. However,
he's got some wrath of
his own. And the last
45 minutes of the film
is unlike anything you
Itave ever seen. It will
have you howling and
cheering like no movie
ever has.
MTHS LONGEST
YARD" is for men, for
women, for everyone
