Wanna Be a
City Editor?
By G. DUNCAN WIMPRESS
Would you like to be a city
editor? There is a position open
on the Daily Emerald which must
be filled in the very near future,
according to a statement issued
by G. Dune Wimpress, chief city
editor, last night.
"In addition to the city editor
job, there are four assistant ed
itorships now open," said Wim
press.
“We will have a meeting of all
desk workers at 7:30 in the Jour
nalism building next Thursday
night," he continued, “and I
hope to see all present and po
tential desk workers there.”
Besides being a requisite for
an Emerald certificate, work on
the copy desk is excellent prac
tice for the aspiring newspaper
writer. Mr. George T. Turnbull
and Mr. Charles M. Hulten, pro
fessors in journalism, both rec
ommend copy desk work to their
students.
“Not having worked on a desk
is no reason for staying away
from the meeting,” Wimpress con
cluded. “We like to have as many
new people as possible down on
the desks and we’re expecting
quite a few new ones at the meet
ing. It’s reaHy not very hard
work and all the kids seem to
have a lot of fun.”
