University Women In Newspaper Work.
Oregon is proud to be the alma mater
of a corps of newspaper women who
sro filling responsible positions in dPf-*
ferent journalistic lines. Journalism is
becoming more and more popular ns a
profession for women, and the war has
made them necessary to that profes
sion. It has been to them an oppor
tunity not only to get a good position
but to make good in such a position
and thereby overcome the antipathy to
some editors.
Every yeur the school of journalism
increases the number of women in ac
tive journalistic work, and keeps track
of their work. That they are making
good is apparent from the fact that
they hold their positions; and the
steady rise of the majority to more
responsible and better paid positions
gives evidence of the dynamic force
and push which, added to ability and
conscious work, makes the successful
journalist.
Among Oregon's contributions to
newspapordoni are Lucile Saunders,
tclogro’di editor, of the Oregon States
man, formerly reporter on the Bend
Bulletin; ('lytic Hall, reporter on the
Pendleton East Oregonian formerly with
the Eugene Guard; Louis Allen and
Peggy Driver, reporters on the Tacoma
Ledger; Nellie Hemenway, reporter on
the Cottage Grove Sentinel; Madge
Pulton, reporter on the Morning As
turian; and Echo Zalil, feature writer
for the Portland News and formerly
with the Seattle Star.
Former Oregon students are also
represented among the society editors:
Nonna Hendricks of the Eugene Reg
ister, Margaret Spangler of the Eugene
Guard, Mignon Allen of the Astoria
Budget, Beatrice Locke of the Specta
tor, and Claire Raley of the Pendleton
East Oregonian until recently of the
Pendleton Mail-Tribune.
Another Oregon graduate who is re
flecting credit upon the University is
Louise Bryant. At present she is writ*
mg special signed articles from Russia
for the Portland Oregonian.
Pica For Trained Women.
‘(tivc us trained women," plead the
business men daily -deprived of men who
have been filliutC positions of trust un
der them. And more they are saying,
"We prefer trained women with college
educations.” They feel that these are
the broad minded women who can best
aid them in these troublesome times.
Are we as I'niversity women ready
to answer this eall for trained worker*?
We feel deep down in our hearts that
rertainly every college woman should
be. llow useless and inadequate must
any woman feel who can think of spend
ing the summer idly loafing. If she is
not already prepared so that she may
be putting her training to practice in
every possible way this summer, she
should spend her available time in learn
ing to he proficient in something of
practical value so that she may begin
to do her share in relieving the criti
:ai situations in the business world
which will follow during the war and
during the vital reconstruction period.
The i'niversity is outlining such prac
tical courses for women to take here
next year. Among them, are the new
courses being planned by the school of
ommerci. as Heap U. W. Morton has
just announced.
If the women are at all interested in
doing their part, and we feel that they
are, they will find it will not be difficult
to train themselves thoroughly so that
seriously and whole-heartedly they may.
with their fellow students, answer the
gill to sen ice for their country.
Women’s Welcome To R. 0. T. C.
\nd how do we feel about having
ft. ti T. recognition? We oongratu
Me the University on having it at
iast particularly congratulate the men
who are to go to the Presidio as the
first official representatives of the I ni
auve accomplished through their train
ing uide.r Lh uLw^xii-Colynel John
Leador and we feel sure will prove a
credit to him and to the University.
There ore others who are anxious to
go, hut they are§itoo young, for the
age limit is 20 years and 9 months.
Afany of them seem to be chafing un
der the restraint which keeps them
here, but they must remember that
there will be other camps and that there
will be room for them later.
To those who are leaving, we wish
•Godspeed. They are the pick of those
of the University battalion who could
meet the requirements. *Thcy will de
monstrate, we know, what they really
.Van do. Oregon and Oregon’s women
I feel pi oud that they have such men
to send.
Theta Sigma Phi Holds Convention.
The first national convention of Thetn
Sigma Phi wur held in Lawrence, Kan
sas at the University of Kansas, on
April 25, 20, and 27 with Epsilon chap
ter ns hostess.
I>ue to the war and the departure
of so many newspaper men for the
front, women are having their chance
to make good in the newspaper world
and they have taken their opportunity
in both hands and are succeeding better
than even they themselves had dared
to hope. They are taking the places
of the men naturally aud easily.
rl his state of affairs will not' end
with the close of the war. Women
will not be willing jto step out of the
places they have usurped. They will
look upon the newspaper field as be
hyiging to them, because it is worth
while work they can do well.
The national convention hold recent
ly afforded the opportunity of a closer
union of newspaper women throughout
the country. Representatives from tho
various chapters met, became acquain
ted and exchanged experiences.
Among other things they put out an
edition of the University Daily Kansan
during the convention and visited the
offices of the Star, Journal and l’ost
on their trip to Kansas City.
