Student government hears pros, cons of newspaper program

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (Exponent) - Purdue Student Government discussed Wednesday whether an adoption of a new newspaper subscription would hurt The Exponent.

A representative from USA Today stopped by the Senate meeting to discuss the possibility of Purdue taking on the Collegiate Readership Program. The program would make USA Today and New York Times available for students to pick up every weekday. A tablet application for USA Today also would be available to students for free.

President of the Senate Lexi Highland, a senior in the College of Liberal Arts, emphasized the student government is looking at every option and will take action only if it hears enough support from students.
