Board Report

Keystone price holds steady

The most recent meeting of the Student Publications Board was rife with discussion. After President Steve Metzger's largely uneventful report, Keystone Editor Luxmen Aloysius made a stirring presentation. As hinted last week, it was one not to miss.

The only item of significance in Metzger's presentation was the hiring of the Public Relations Manager. Metzger distanced himself from the hiring because he knew one of the applicants, instead turning it over to directors Sue Portelance and Holly Wagg who knew three of the four applicants.

Next on the agenda was the ratification of the hiring of new corporation volunteers. While most of the hired personnel had their names and positions correctly presented to the board, there was also the naming of a "photo assistant technician dude."

Aloysius then made his presentation, amid a chorus of adoration.

"Oh he's so cute - he's speaking on a podium," gushed Director Wagg.

Aloysius asked for $3000 worth of improvements to the Keystone, which he eventually got. However, there was a passionate discussion over the yearbook's price.

Since the corporation has increased advertising, it is easily able to handle the additional Keystone costs. However, Aloysius and Wagg both championed the cause of raising the proposed price to give WLUSP a profit.

"We switched to a lower price to give back," said Aloysius. "Now we're giving back with a better quality book."

Wagg said that the board should raise the price and "make a killing," especially considering that the proposed price was "yucky."

This idea was defeated, but the Keystone did get its improvements.
