Show Student Intern Ends Work On newspaper Staff By Stan Howard A plan to help journalism students stu-dents at three Utah colleges has been enacted by the colleges with cooperation from the Utah State Press Association. Through the plan, journalism students are given jobs on weekly week-ly newspapers throughout the state during the summer between their junior and senior years of schooling. The students work between be-tween six and eight weeks on the newspaper, depending upon an agreement between student and the editor. Colleges participating in the project are Utah State Agricultural Ag-ricultural College, University of Utah and Brigham Young University.. Univer-sity..

The Uintah Uin-tah Basin Record is the weekly for Duchesne, Utah, and is printed in the offices of the Standard at Roosevelt. I am a student just out of my junior year of school at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah. About a month before school let out in June, I was given an opportunity op-portunity to accept a position on a Utah weekly. The system allows the student three choices of regions reg-ions in the state where he might like to work.
