Enthusiasm For Work Necessary to Journalist By OIL JOHNSON F.mpraUl staff Writer Charles Duncan, assistant dean of faculties and a former dean of the Journalism School at the University, was the featured speaker at a luncheon for near ly 200 high school journalists in the Student Union ballroom Fri day. The luncheon was part of a two day scholastic press conference which its host, John Hulteng, dean of the Journalism School, called "one of the most signifi cant journalism conclaves in Oregon.” Duncan, a former president of the association of journalism pro fessors, began his speech by giv ing thumbnail biographies of some of the many successful jour nalists he had known, among these, syndicated columnist Carl Kowan. The divergent fields of these individuals, from reporters, freelance writers, and editors, to hook editors, public relations men, and journalism professors, illustrated the variety and scope of journalism. He then tied all of them to gether by stating that they had one thing in common. “It’s not their talent, nor their education,” he said, “although they all are talented and well educated. But the trait that has made them all very similar and successful is their enthusiasm for their work.” Noting that a liking for one’s work is a prerequisite for suc cess in any Held, he pointed out that it is not wise to be too con tent ‘for one who never finds fault, will never correct any thing.” He closed by saying that if one likes his job and likes the peo ple he meets in it, then, to quote Shakespeare, “the world's your oyster.” “It's yours to open, with either pen or sword,” he concluded, “providing that you like oysters.” Campus Briefs Announccm* nt» for Campus Brlffi must be turned In by 3 p.m. the day before publication.

The committee, headed this year by Steve McLaughlin, a sen ior in economics, is trying to get on its feet and get moving. Mc Laughlin’s interested in getting membership that is a good repre sentation of the student body. “Everybody’s got ideas, but no body knows what the student wants,” McLaughlin observed. What Students Think He said that the committee’s big job this year will be to find out what students think about experimental courses, pass-or-fail classes, faculty who spend great amounts of time on outside re search, and recreational facilities, to find out what changes students are interested in, and what they think of the changes now taking place. The committee will also work with the ASUO Senate’s Cur riculum and Campus Planning committees, and with the State Board of Higher Education, to “work with the right people to get the job done,” as McLaughlin put it. Effort to Improve “It’s an effort to improve educa tion in terms of what the student wants, and in terms of what soci ety has,” he added. Students interested in joining the committee may obtain peti tions in the ASUO office, room 310 of the Student Union, or may call McLaughlin at 345-2826. Af ter receiving petitions, McLaugh lin will interview each candidate, then set the committee from there.
