    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.
