At the start of the year, the other editors and I list out every sport, club, academic and student life thing we want to cover. Then, on large pieces of papers labeled summer and August through February, we lay out what month each specific thing should be covered in. Then, we separate them into spreads that have two to six "must-haves." We put all of this onto a spread sheet, and then I turn it into a table once we have groups and deadlines assigned.

​

The page ladder is an easily accessible document for staffers to look over upcoming deadlines, and for editors to keep track of spread's status.

​

Furthermore, we organize our book chronologically. Because we don't have traditional spreads, we can better tell more stories and be more flexible with when things are covered.

​

For example, this happened this year: normally, Powder Puff is held in November. Student Senate, who runs Powder Puff, decided to push it a few months back due to weather. Since our book is chronological, the November spread had more topics to cover than just Powder Puff. We were able to move Powder Puff back to a later spread in the book. However, the solution may not have been as easy or work as well if we did traditional organization.
