Today’s edition of the Daily Trojan was written and edited by members of the senior class of the School of Journalism and is the last edition of the paper for the school year.
In order to allow members of the staff of the Trojan to prepare for final examinations, the seniors of the department took their last “fling” at putting out the paper before graduation.
The Daily Trojan will not be published during final examination week, therefore all students are urged to follow announcements in today’s paper for all events scheduled for the next two weeks.
