Journalists Discuss Newspapers, Radio By DON SMITH Speeches by Robert C. Notson and John Thompson, manag ing editor of tlie Oregonian and NBC news director in San I1 rancisco, respectively, highlighted the first day of the Oregon High School Press association conference attended by over 200 delegates and 36 advisers representing 93 Oregon schools. Officers, elected by delegates Friday afternoon and pre sented at the evening banquet are Dave Ramstead, president, of Hugene; Howard Sullivan, vice-president, St. Helens; Lou Seibert, secretary, Corvallis. Speaking to the student journalists on the general topic op portunities in journalism, Notson declared that radio, far from being a true competitor of the newspaper, has actually stimu lated the layman’s interest in the printed word. Radio has created not only opportunities for emplovment in radio journalism, according to Notson, but also has opened more positions on newspapers. I he managing editor advised students preparing to make a career ol journalism to take specialized training in journalism and to become familiar with liberal arts. Realize Own Limitations "Realize your own limitations, and realize where you can best fit the needs of a paper,” Notson told the delegates. "A young person who gets a job on a small paper learns very rapidly what is required in newspaper publication.” As a final note Notson informed the representatives that in newspaper work "you’ll never get rich, you'll never go hungry, and you’ll never be bored.” Round table discussions, the advisers’ tea sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi, womens’ national journalism fraternity, elec tion of officers, campus tours conducted by Sigma Delta Chi, mens "professional journalism honorary, and “Good Neighbors,” a motion picture depicting operation of a metropolitan daily, rounded out the day for the delegates. Representatives attended the annual banquet at Hotel Os burn in the evening. Dr. Laurence Campbell, toastmaster for the event, introduced Thompson, banquet speaker. With the belief that radio stations will greatly expand their news gathering and reporting staffs to meet the demands of it s listening audience, Thompson named several reasons which make radio work more appealing than newspaper journalism. Higher salaries, both for novices and executives, more chance for original writing, direct communication with a large audience, and the forcefulness of radio news, were a few of the factors he listed.
