Wild Water Period
At Dorms is Ended
End of a long period of annoy
ance from “wild” water in and
about the ground floor of the men’s
dormitory was reached this week
when a WPA tunnel crew reached
the source of the trouble, a fair
sized underground spring, located
just to one side of the main front
entrance of the building.
The spring had flooded the latest
tunnel project around the dormi
tory and had been a source of con
stant irritation throughout the
winter because of the drainage
problem it created.
Workmen on the tunnel project,
forced to find the source 'of the
water in order to continue their
work, made a 16-foot cut along
Onyx street from the Fourteenth
street tunnel, finding the trouble
maker in just about the expected
position, at the southwest corner of
the main entranceway.
Drainage tile will be run from
the spring to the tunnel,. the cut
being considerably lower than the
water in order that drainage will
be accomplished effectively.

Experience Is Helpful to
Newsmen, Says Hulten
Practical experience is a help toward a successful newspaper ca
reer, in the opinion of Charles M. Hulten, assistant professor of jour
nalism.
“Experience helps understand class work,” he said. Various ruJia
of news writing are the result of mechanical requirements, and actual
work on a newspaper is a good way to learn these rules, Hulten pointed
out. In this connection, he explained how the width of the newspaper
column necessitates short para
graphs.
“The best way to learn to write
is by writing,” stated Hulten. He
told how continued practice is an
aid in increasing speed and ease of
writing.
Editors presume a knowledge of
newspaper technique when hiring
an employee and will not take time
to explain it; therefore, acquiring
this knowledge before, lessens the*
adjustments necessary when o:a
the job, he said.
Journalism schools can help Jo:
this process, but should give a
broad social science training aa
well, Hulten said.
“But too much journalism .in
worse than pone,” he finished, e:x~>
plaining the importance of back*
ground knowledge.
