COPY READING CLASSES BEGUN THIS SEMESTER Prof. Allen Teaches Fine Points of Journalism to Students Two sections have been estab lished by Professor Eric W. Allen, in copy reading, with six students reg istered in each class. One of these comes at 9 o’clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the other at 4 o'clock on Mondays and Wednesdays. The copy for these classes is fur nished by the Freshmen, who are sent out to' gather news from town and university sources. Emerald copy is also used. “The Freshman will benefit,” said Professor Allen, “from getting the news, and the copy reading class will benefit by preparing the news for publication. The greatest dif ficulty will be in getting a large enough amount of copy to keep everyone busy.” i Mr. Dyment will act as critic for the class, and Mr. Allen will attend to the technical points.
