Events Event Information


 * Name: Reader Release Celebration * Performer: * Description: We came up with this idea last year and it was a huge success! We invited all the the contributors of The Reader to take part in a reading, or, in the case of photography, show their work. All of them showed up to read, and we had more people come to the event than we had expected. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it. We served refreshments and released the new Readers. We would like to do this again this spring. * Attendance: 50 * Date: April 24

Publications Publication Information


 * Name: The Reader * Issues: 1 * Description: This fall I sent out invitations to bid to a few printers, in order to get an idea for the cost in the spring. The best price came from Thames Printing at $5160. We have to keep in mind the increase in cost from now until the spring, as well as about $300 extra in case we have to make changes to the proof. I would imagine that $5500 would cover the cost. Other printers have estimated as much as $6225. We would obviously go with the cheapest. That quote is for 1200 copies of an 80 page magazine with a color cover and a nice paper. Last semester, we did not ask for enough funding, so we had to use a cheaper paper. The ink is already fading. Considering these magazines will be used by admissions in years to come, it is important that we use a paper that can hold ink well. We also would still like to order 1200 copies, in order to have enough copies for the students, admissions, and the four other colleges. If the funding is not available, please let us know which of these you are willing to sacrifice (quality or quantity).
