News on Sunday

Like many another college town, Princeton, N. J. has no daily newspaper. Princeton citizens get their news of the world from papers of nearby Trenton, Philadelphia, Manhattan, local news from the collegiate Princetonian, which has no Sunday edition, from the Herald and Packet, both weeklies.

Last week two undergraduates, Robert Murray Haig Jr., son of a Columbia University professor, and Mortimer Dickinson Wright, son of a Centerbrook (Conn.) manufacturer, brought out the Princeton Sunday News.

An eight-page tabloid, printed on standard newsprint, the Sunday News carried stories with a campus angle, church notices, two pages of sports, a page of pictures, no national or foreign news. Proprietors Haig & Wright put up $1,000 of their own money to get it started. Both juniors, they will give the Sunday News away free for the rest of the academic year (nine issues in all), hope next year to clear $75 a week.
