Show Ever Thus I I 4 Did you ou miss the Chronicle which it was vas found impossible to issue last Tuesday or the Tuesday of the preceding week 7 It is is to be hoped that you did for for then those who a are e responsible responsible responsible re re- re- re for the publishing of the University of Utah official newspaper know that you that you OU are arc in interested iii- iii in the outcome of their efforts and concerned concerned con con- regarding one of the important types of I University activity life If you yon did not miss miss these issues you represent well that type of student student student stu stu- dent who is centered in himself and immediate friends thinking nothing of his fellows and their activities and who is as a consequence a deadhead deadhead dead ead- head when it comes to performing those things worth while to himself and his school The student sheet is now passing through a crisis from which it hopes to emerge so soOn n with witha a better than ever This crisis is largely financial and as a consequence the staff must watch its step stepH if it is to weather successfully successfully successfully success success- fully the storm The Chronicle Chronicle- management challenges the statement often made by those who know nothing of which they speak that there is any ay graft going on in connection with the publishing of the paper or that any significant significant significant sig sig- sig- sig sum of money is being made by those in charge of the Chronicle These retorts are arc sometimes sometimes sometimes' some some- times times' made in jest but with far too often detrimental detrimental detrimental detri detri- mental effect to the activity which you owe it to yourself and to your our school to consider your our own Our books and records are arc open for inspection and ancL we challenge those making these statements statements state- state ments for proof which if they have it they should in all fairness present to the student body Instead of bui building ding up student activities many students tear them down by engaging in such seeming trivialities As has already been reiterated reiterated reiter reiter- through these columns the Chronicle stands ready to fa get down and out and arid relinquish its holdings to those whom it and the student body through their officers feel are capable of tackling tackling tack tack- ling the job sob But trou troubles are not alone financial There is is a 8 sad lack of good editorial and reportorial reportorial tonal staff material in the school or else the material available is not nott t pushing itself forward where it can be adequately viewed and its ability determined This lack of sufficient material within the student body fro from which the Chronicle can draw to fill its staff is dU due to numerous numerous numerous nu nu- nu- nu causes two of which stand out The first is the inability or at least the failure of the school to provide instruction in in journalism The Chronicle feels this sad lack in inthe inthe in inthe the curriculum probably more than anyone else yet the filling of this breach would provide instruction instruction instruction in in- in- in in one of the important and coming professions ns to which many of those entering the University are re latently adapted and in which they undoubtedly would make good We understand that the instructor of the English department who is to teach classes in journalism next year is now on a leave of ab ab- ab- ab sence ore AVe also understand that the English department department de de- de- de is hard pressed as to finances What I we are arguing for is a greater extension of th thI the journalistic branch of the English department than even even cven the department contemplates An extension extension ex- ex tension of this instruction would provide an ex- ex r T practical outlet for a great amount of the knowledge gaine game din the study of English which is n necessarily theoretical When the Uni Uni- University University administration C considers considers- the extension of the tho curriculum into fields not now touched it can Well consider instruction in iu the profession of journalism Because the Chronicle feels this lack it has taken it upon itself to organize one cl class s a week in which the elements clements comprising I college journalism are touched upon The class has been cen thrown open to any student who is suf sufficiently interested to regularly attend and those behind this movement are anxious that L th those se outside the tho publication staffs evince an in in- terest If for Dot nothing ing else than general tio tion the course should prove valuable to the inT individual individual in- in T taking it V And then another cause canse for the tho lack of personnel personnel personnel per per- material from which the tho Chronicle can draw is is the decided lack of interest among the student body Work in preparing for publication publication tion the news of the campus is iR a tedious and somewhat monotonous task but th the value of the tho training achieved can be equaled b by but few activities on on oh the University campus It provides practical application tion of the principles of or journalism journal- journal ism and as as' has been said by many prominent newspaper men the college newspaper provides t. t ite o best possible workshop for the man who in- in L tends to make jo journalism his life work woric or ey even n his avocation Few students realize this and nd as asa s sn n a consequence are riot not wont to grasp the advantages advantages offered by a position on on 4 the College newspaper newspaper newspaper news news- paper or br other college publications It is well that the college student consider the profession of journalism as a n menns menna of obtaining a livelihood livelihood liveli liveli- hood and mid the college newspaper as its most adequate adequate adequate ade ade- quate workshop The Chronicle stands ready to help t those ose who desire t to help themselves es |
