.Research by
Eric W. Allen
Is Complete
Extensive Questionnaire Is
Sent Out by Dean of
Of Journalism
Report Will Be Read at
Convention
A preliminary analysis of a “re
search on research” in journalism
has just been completed by Eric
W. Allen, dean of the school of
journalism, as part of the work he
doing as chairman of the coun
cil of research of the American
Association of Schools and De
partments of Journalism.
This preliminary analysis is be
ing sent immediately to other
members of the council so that
when their comments are received
work can begin on the final re
port. This report will be present
ed at a convention of the journal
ism associations at Eaten Rouge,
La., during the coming Christmas
vacation.
In making the survey fer this
report questionnaires were sent
out to every journalism instruc
tor in the United States, and a
few in China and Japan. The
questionnaire was also sent to all
interested instructors in sociology,
political science, history, and eco
nomies.
The research reveals that at
present there are being conducted
a total of 506 separate research
projects. Dean Allen has divided
these into 12 different categories
of methods of procedure, and is
pieparing an elaborate report to
be given before the association.
“The report will recommend con
siderable reorganization of the
machinery for the publication of
journalism researches, and it is
hoped to set up certain standards
that will greatly affect the qual
ity of the work in this field
throughout the country,” said
Dean Allen.
The preliminary report just
completed is to be used by Dr.
Frank L. Mott, of the University
of Iowa, and Prof. E. M. Johnson,
lately of the University of Minne
sota, the presidents of the two as
sociations, as a basis for working
out the programs for the confer
ence.
The council on research in jour
nalism was revived at a meeting
of the association last year at the
conclusion of a paper read by
Dean Allen, and he was made
its chairman. The other members
are: J. W. Cunliffe, Columbia;
Walter Williams, Missouri; A. L.
Stone, Montana; Willard G.
Bleyer, Wisconsin; E. Marion
Johnson, Minnesota; J. O. Sim
mons, Syracuse.

Get Publicity in South
“Beauties Win Scholastic Fame"
was the headline in a South Caro
lina paper above photographs of
Wernda Isbell, Florence Althous,
and Lois Nelson, three Oregon
girls. “When points for the term
just passed were totalled at the
University of Oregon, at Eugene,
it was found first honors went to
the co-eds; this trio stood unusual
ly high”; so ran the story under
neath.
The clipping, from the Green
ville News, was sent to Dr. E. D.
j McAlister of the department of
I biology, by his friend Dr. Sheldon,
; a professor at Clemenson Agricul
i tural college, South Carolina. In
i a letter accompanying the story,
\ Dr. Sheldon said, “I saw this no
1 tice in last Sunday's paper; it
seems the old U. of O. is not so |
far away from the sunny South- ■
land. Perhaps you know of these :
girls; at any rate they might be
interested in having their photos
from a place so far away.”
WOMEN'S LEAGUE TO
HOLD TEA TODAY
With dancing and music on the
program, a Woman's League tea
will be held this afternoon, begin
ning at 3 o’clock, according to
Harriet Kibbee, chairman of teas.
She stressed yesterday, in an
nouncing the tea, that the league
wants the women to make new
friends at the affairs, rather than
to remain with their own groups.
“The purpose of the teas is to
create campus friendships—and
this will bo defeated unless the
women mingle together," she com
mented.
Novel refreshments arc in store
again, she promises.

perfect paper from the proof
reader's standpoint, according to
an announcement made yesterday
by Ralph David, chief night editor,

David, and it is possible that such
a paper be produced. The purpose
of the prize is to stimulate great
er efficiency on the night staff.
