Journal Writer Speaks to Class On Book Hobby Journalism Regarded Important Factor in Modern Society “One of the greatest delights of the book business is this: it in spires me to write other stories, said Fred Loekley, special writer of the Oregon Journal, when telling the members of the editing class, and other students of his favorite hobby and explaining its connec tion with his life work. From print er ’s devil to assistant publisher, I Mr. Loekley has always had book collecting as a hobby. “You’re not in the poolroom at mosphere when you are with books, if you use good taste in selecting them,” Mr. Loekley continued. “I have tried to keep away from books whose ideals are low because you can’t read books without letting them color your ideals. When you love good books you get in touch with people who have high ideals.” Mr. Loekley told of interesting letters, autographed books and in terviews he has had with such peo ple as Jack London, Emma Gold man, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Theo dore Roosevelt, and a host of others. “All over the United States,” he explained, “I have friends I would not have had except for a mutual interest in books. Dozens of dis tinguished collectors write to me. They make the mail a delightful gamble.” When Mr. Loekley visits a town he visits the junk and book shops, which are treasure houses to him. He has often picked up books for a few cents that were later sold to museums for hundreds of dollars. “The newspaper business I con sider a work of most usefulness for a person who wants to make the world a little better to live in,” Mr. Loekley said as he congratulated the students in the editing class on their choice of a profession. Mr. Loekley will speak to Mr. Turnbull’s and Mr. Casey’s classes in reporting Friday morning at eight. ANNOUNCEMENT All upper classmen meet at 7:45 tonight in front of the old library.
