The main difference being that we didn’t use Quark for layout, we used MacWrite, I think, and would literally size our articles to 1-, 2- or 3-column width and then print them as one continuous column. We did all of our layout by hand instead of in the computer, so we’d cut up the paper and flow the columns into the layout on the board.
Quark definitely existed by then (I had used PageMaker at my high school newspaper to do the same task in years before). I think the paper stayed with manual layout because it would let a group of us collaborate on laying out the 5-10 editorial pages over a period of an hour or two.
