New Clarion distribution manager Lucy Haugland led the circulation of the first newspaper of the semester Feb. 20. Haugland worked alongside news reporter Makenna Cook, breaking the newsroom into three teams to get the paper out on racks all over campus.

“I was really proud of how smoothly the whole (process) went because distribution day has been a mess for as long as I have been a part of the Clarion,” Cook said. “I’m excited to see where Lucy and I can take this.”

The next issue of the Clarion will come out in March.

Cook and Haugland worked together to come up with a game plan for the day. “I was really proud of how smoothly the whole (process) went because distribution day has been a mess for as long as I have been a part of the Clarion,” Cook said. “I’m excited to see where Lucy and I can take this.”

The most recent Clarion issue, highlighting the women’s basketball team performance, was distributed Feb. 20 by Clarion staff. This is the first issue the Clarion has published spring semester.
