Due to spring break The Collegian will not print again until Wednesday, April 11. Classes resume Monday, April 9. It is Collegian policy that the paper does not print the Monday following a major holiday. We look forward to resuming our coverage of the Fresno State community.

    Bad policy

    yeah, i don’t recall this policy. must be new.

    let’s see: more student fees, higher editor stipend — fewer issues to the paying students.

    more money = less work?

    for your own edification young newspaper trainees: get used to working holidays. or just skip media ethics 101 and get the heck on into advertising or PR.

    Actually, I believe that policy has been around quite a while…

    Yeah, since I started at The Collegian it’s been a policy. So three years, probably more. Sorry! More money doesn’t equal more journalism students unfortunately. Maybe with a larger staff we could become a daily again!

    Weak stuff, collegian. I do agree with the prior posts. Much more of your printed material is now taken from the AP or Reuters. And I do recall a time when the week after spring break saw a Monday, Wednesday, and a Friday paper. The quality of writing may have also dipped slightly. The investigative reports must be hidden in “La Voz De Aztlan” cause I sure as heck ain’t findin’ them. Moreover, we the students voted two years ago to maintain Collegian funding and have seen the product gradually diminish. Piggybacking on a previous comment, to ‘make it’ in the newspaper industry, one must be willing to stay late on Christmas eve or any other “day-before” or “day-after” holiday. I know it is often essential to visit family on a meaningless holiday such as Easter, but if you are receiving scholarship money or a stipend to write for your college paper– please show some heart and be willing to make sacrifice. WWJD!?

    Also, please no more front-page pictures or blurbs about the WWE, monster trucks, John Mayer, or Aerosmith. Granted, those commercial events ARE taking place at our on-campus arena, yet they have nothing to do with the “Fresno State community.”

    Where is my UHS ID card follow-up piece from a year-and-a-half ago? Are those youths still taking advantage of an administrative oversight???

    How weak, Harley! Too small? a staff = not a daily!

    We didn’t have a large crew when I was on staff, and we were a daily–that didn’t reprint the AP wire to fill space. Sounds like an excuse, Bryan.

    Hey, I’m the Multimedia Editor. I have a staff of two. You don’t see any AP on the Web site, even though it’s on a lot of other college newspaper sites. I don’t deal in the print world, and I’m not a print journalism student. So don’t complain to me about that. Write a letter to the editor.

    hey! lay off Harley. He’s the freaking man! This is hands down the best college newspaper web site i’ve ever seen and even puts professional newspaper web sites to shame.

    and stop trying to get hype off your ‘glory days’, dan. when the collegian was a daily in the 90s, it was crap. students stealing. advertising revenue uncollected. rats living in the furniture. those are the types of stories i’ve heard.

    it came back around. maybe it will again. i don’t know how many journalism students there are, but i know for damn sure it takes a minimum of five or six to come in on sunday and put the paper together.

    whatever. wal-mart was closed on easter sunday, too. i hear they’re taking applications.

    Well, touchy are we, JD? If you can’t stand the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen. Three of us put the paper together–the editor, sports ed, and the layout person. Sounds like the old joke about how many people does it take to change a lightbulb applies to today’s Collegian.

    We didn’t have rats in the furniture (besides the two-legged ones from Associated Students and the frats) in my day. Ditto for missing money–ain’t true. What happened in the late 1990s is another story. The biggest problems we had were the morons associated with student mis-government and the owner of Wilikers suing us every time we ran an ad from his former partner’s joint the Alligator Club (now the Bulldog Shop). Libel suits and theft were reserved for Insight (the old MCJ lab paper).

    Have fun!
