Journalistic Vocation Upheld in Survey Taking the information from those who know, Edith Oglesby, junior journalism student, has made it known that journalism is a good vocation for women. This deduction she made from a survey completed recently which was conducted under the auspices of the University of Oregon school of journalism. The work was done as a special hon ors project under the direction of James L. C. Ford, assistant pro fessor. She contacted 204 women grad uates of the University's journal ism school through a question naire. Of the 57 per cent who re plied, 77 per cent accepted the vocation's virtue with some res ervations. One women stated that "genuine ability in the field can be put to good use,” even if the field was opened more for men than women. While only 37 of the 117 who replied are presently active jour nalists, the report shows that at one time or another 97 of them have been professional journal ists since graduation. Depression, low wages, and marriages were influences leading to leaving the profession. PE Faculty Members Attend Northwest Conference Dean R. W.
