About Our Deadlines

September 1977

From The Times Archives

The deadline for the October issue of The Paper is September 12. The editor requests that all regular contributors make an effort to meet that deadline.

It might be helpful to know what happens to your news stories, announcements and letters after you submit them.

1) the editor collects and reads them. 2) Any that are difficult to decode are sent to a typist or copied legibly. 3) they are taken to the typesetter. 4) the galleys are proofread by the staff. 5) the typesetter types corrections 6) the staff pastes the corrected material on the galleys. It is only at this point that the layout staff can begin work on the actual layout sheets which will be sent to the printer.

As you can see, it is imperative that we have two weeks to accomplish all our tasks related to this paper while we raise our children, hold jobs, and participate in other community activites. We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved and ask you to help us by meeting the deadline each month.
