COLLEGE JOUBHUST SUCCESS. SAYS ALLEN Training Now Held Essential, Is Dean’s Opinion WEST IS WELL LIKED Eastern States Possess Small Appeal To Oregonian College trained journalists are now ac cepted everywhere in the newspaper pro fession without a question, said Dean Erie W. Allen, of the school of journal ism, in a talk on Ids experiences and observations in the east while attending the National Editorial convention given to Sigma Delta Chi members and guests at a meeting last night. Ten years ago there was a rather general prejudice against the college man in the newspaper game, according to Dean Allen, but a great change has come about in that time and now the man with the higher education is the one sought after by the editors of the country, j Ins is the general attitude all over the coun try. he said, and it is the specially ti .lined man who has the be d chance jii the profession at tlin prevent time. Obsei vation not only if newspr.ro'r. bit of general conditions a>1 through the spurn and east did nothing mor * than strcnjtlien hi? good op’nion of the west a": of Oregon it. par fie liar. stated the d * n. The Ktril .i'g liumo ir :>f f- reigners in the eastern and middle western states and of negroes in the south was one of the tilings he noted on the trip. Old Nort Church, of Caul Revere fame, in Boston, is now in the heart of an Italian colony and like conditions exist in oilier cities, said Dean Allen. Oregon Clean. The cleanliness of this part of the country, as compared with the coal hurtl ing sections of the east, was another point in favor of the west, thought the dean. Where soft coal is used for fuel, and it seems that there is none hut that variety used, the air is continually filled with soot and grime and the buildings are black and dirty, lie said. The clean freshness of the Oregon valleys was most welcome to him when he returned. Dean Allen stated. At the TTniversity of 'Michigan, there is n big student administration building in which are housed the various depart ments of student activity. Dean Allen said. A large room in this building is occupied by the editorial and news of fices of the student, paper. In other schools the college paper is somewhat differently organized, he stated, hut in a general way the same system is used ns is in effect, at Oregon. On the whole, writers and reporters on the average newspaper of today work under good conditions and are paid a good wage, Dean Allen said. City editors are becoming more considerate of the reporters and there is better co-opera tion among the reporters themselves, lie stated. As an illustration of the wages paid a good reporter on a New York paper, ho said that there were at least A SHORTER SHORTHAND SYSTEM IN TEN EASY LESSONS This course covers ten easy lessons whic^t will enable the Student, Professor, Journalist, Doctor, Lawyer or anyone seeking a professiouel career, to go thru jlit'e with 100 per cent efficiency.

The newspaper buildings themselves are of a much better type than of for mer years and in the new structures the reporter and other staff rnerpbers work under almost ideal housing conditions, remarked Dea»i Allen. The offices of the Detroit News, the Kansas City Star, the Chicago Tribune, and, in the maga zine field, of the Curtis Publishing com pany were cited as notable examples of the present-day trend in newspaper hous ing. There is a great opportunity for gradu ate study in such eastern institutions as Columbia University, he said, but the undergraduate work can probably be bet ter obtained at some other school. The big advantage of Columbia is that it can get the student into direct touch with actual conditions in a city such ns New York, but even then, there are great handicaps to be overcome. A few months graduate study in a big eastern school is a great thing to finish up an education with, according to the dean. In summarizing the opinions gained on the trip. Dean Allen said that although conditions are far from ideal at Oregon lie believed that on the whole this insti tution was one of the best and most for tunate which lie visited. The school of journalism here, itself, seemed to rank among the four or five best such schools in tile entire country, lie said, and the same condition held true in a general way in regard to the University as a whole. CUDAHY ENTERTAINED OREGON TRACK TEAM Los Angeles Suicide Friendly to Men Representing University at Olympic Tryouts. John P. (Jack) 'Cudahy, who committed suicide in Jmrn Angeles Wednesday by blowing his brains out with a shotgun, was the man who entertained the TTni veristy of Oregon track men so lavishly when they were in T/OS Angeles Iasi July at the Olympic meet, tryouts, says Art Tuck, University track star.

Pood scarcity, and now in addition, la bor troubles, are some of tlie difficulties oth^ the student foyer in Naples, Italy, has to contend with, according to a let ter received by Miss Tirza Dinsdale, Y. W. C. A. secretary here, from the Y. W. worker in charge of the association work there. Miss Dinsdale was the American executive in Naples during the war. A recration hut has just been estab lished, and it has been a great problem to get enough “Pasta,” better known as macaroni, which is the basis of Italian food. The student foyer has been mak ing more room for people all the time and often takes care of American tour ists in that part of the country. I Vi ces have advanced so much that some things are completely unatainablc. Rachel Oarrold, now in charge of the work, writes that they are expecting stome unusual disturbances on May 1. Labor Day, as tlTe conditions are unset tled. It is said, however, that the people in Naples start a great many things that they never carry out.
