Student Journalists Help Produce
Newspapers as Vacation Project
By Charlene Christiansen
A team of six journalism stu
dents took over the Gresham Out
look during spring vacation for a
week s try at publishing the paper,
and ten other students, all from
foreign countries, worked on the
staffs of various Oregon papers.
Under the leadership of Student
Editor Don Dewey, senior, the five
men and one woman took com
plete charge of all news, editorial,
and advertising matter on the Out
look.
Pat Choat, junior, who served as
society editor, said some of the
group's most interesting experi
ences came from feature writing
assignments.
Error Produces Feature
She told of one assignment in
which she and Fred Schneiter, sen
ior, went to Boring, Ore., to get a
story about a high school girl who
had won a 5300 prise. They missed
her house and went instead to the
home of an elderly man who had
an interesting collection of old
lioense plates, and wrote a feature
on him. They later found out that
the man was the grandfather of
the girl they were sent to inter
view.
On tiie way back to Gresham
they came across a Mongolian
Shetland pony and got a story on
it, making three stories for the
price of one.
While in Gresham the students
saw a new city hall dedicated. Pre
vious student groups have written
in the Outlook about the need for
a new city hall.
The Six Students
Students in the group were
Dewey, Miss Choat, and Schneiter,
who handled news, advertising and

This is the fifth year that Ore
gon journalism students have pub
lished the Outlook during spring
vacation. The Outlook was the
first paper in the state to be
selected for such a student experi
ment and has been the only paper
to be alloted a student staff each
year since the project was started.
Eight German students, one stu
dent from the Netherlands, and
one from Austria worked on
papers in almost every section of
Oregon during spring vacation. |
Mr. Barth Goes to Medford I
Gunther Barth, Germany, who
worked on the Medford Mail-Trib
une, said many of the people in
Eugene are either students inter
ested in examinations or professors
interested in having students pass
examinations, but life in Medford
is much more informal.
While in Medford Barth made
several speeches to service clubs.
He also gave talks in the towns
of Jacksonville and Shady Grove.
Barth wrote a review ot a re
hearsal of "Death of a Salesman"
in Ashland and one of "The Im
portance of Being Earnest" in
Medford.
What He Did
His work on the paper included
going around with a reporter on
the city hall and county court
beats, working on make-up of the
front page, editing, and writing
articles of his impressions of Med
ford.

KBND, Bend, was one of Kva
Marie Vogler's (Germany) ex

Miss Vogler took un active part;
in the community. She said she i
received very good food with "din-,
nor invitations every night."
Impressions of America

of the Bend Bulletin Miss Vogler j

ture articles, including her im- j
pressions of America. One of her'

Ushered into • new world,
I bad a bustling, brawling, bruising youth.
1 was a potential giant awakening in a world of giants.
People were hurt when I first stirred in life;
Then I grew and learned;
Then 1 matured and knew that
Though I work with water and metal and chemicals and fire,
1 am more than these things.
I am the people's work I
1 am the people's dreamt
7 am the people!
With maturity, I have grown, too, in social responsibility.
To the people,
To America I
And even to those beyond our shores.
My efforts are not in selfish interest:
Rather, all my brain and brawn strives for the good ol the many.
I am the American way !
Now, 1 have sworn that these things shall be:
I shall deliver ever-better products to those who use my fruitsl
I shall offer equal opportunity to those who work at my side
Whatever their race!
Whatever their creed!
Whatever their color!
Whatever their national origin!
I shall forever do my part to keep America great! ■»

And why?
Because only in this way can 1 remain a healthy force in our free world
For when I am healthy, America prospers
And tyrants tremble before my might.
I am America's life-blood!
I am America’s strength!
/ am the bulwark of the World’s freedom I
