Cubs Surprise Prof With Veteran Work By JOHNNIE KAHANANUI Tomorrow's front-page reporters, ■ freshman journalism students at the University of Oregon, posted a mark for veteran newspapermen to swat at recently, when 56 of 59 stories they sent out to regular daily and weekly papers in and outside the state were printed. "About three weeks before the: end of winter term,” explained James L. C. Ford, assistant pro fessor in journalism at the Uni versity, "I told the kids that they’d have to get an interview printed in an outside paper in order to pass the course. They took me up and literally called my bluff.” Twenty-six Papers Twenty-six different papers throughout the state, including one in Washington and another in British Columbia, ran stories of thfe embryo journalists, most of the former being feature interviews on students at the University. The Register-Guard and Daily News of Eugene topped the list of papers carrying releases with 13 and 10 respectively. Six Hundred Inches More than 670 inches were taken up by the articles, which averaged approximately 600 words each.
