Dream of power, glory Journalists wait at door By NICK GALLO Of the Emerald Ten years ago 370 students en rolled in the University's jour nalism school. Today the count, including pre-journalism majors, is close to 1,200. And more wait by the door What has caused this leap to the media? Watch the eyes of the audience as actors playing Woodward and Bernstein flash across the silver screen in 1 All the President's Men." Don Robinson, associate editor of the Eugene Register-Guard. thinks the adversary position of the media, as portrayed in the movie, has glamorized the pro fession. Though it is vastly overesti mated, the power of the press ap peals to idealistic young people," he said This is a generation that believes it has the right to change the world, and journalism is a lever Jack Hart, journalism professor points to the role played by report ers in the past. The wire services reduced journalists to mirrors of society, objective repeaters of fact. Not even bylines were used. The journalist's personality was ir relevant. Hart says the passive observer era of news reporting is changing. "In a society that celebrificates almost everybody, journalists are asserting themselves He added that novelistic writers like Norman Mailer and Tom Wolfe proved to readers that different per sonalities handle news differently. And what about those 1,200 journalism majors? Certainly not all of them expect movies to be made about their future careers. There is a larger trend toward professional schools.” observes Hart. English literature graduates, for example, come in here, and in one year they can pick up career training in jour nalism.’' In a time of recession, students naturally think of jobs. Recession. however, limits advertising, which limits jobs. Robinson campares the situation to that of engineers in the 1950s and teachers in the 1960s when the doors slammed shut on these job-hunters. You can take a walk through the news room here and you d be hard put to find someone with less than five years' experience," he noted. How is the University's jour nalism department reacting to the overload? Some students say courses, such as J250, are enough to turn students away. This basic journalism course stresses spelling, grammar and newswriting. Stiffer entrance requirements to the journalism school are another option. But as Hart points out: What happens if in 10 years we re crying for journalism ma jors?" Jack Hart, who teaches J250. admits the course is erected as a barrier to discourage unqualified applicants. He says, I've got people coming in here who want to go into communications, and they can't write. f The Beef By CAROL MURKOWSKI Of the Emerald This year s first edition of the Beef Box opens with a problem known to many airline travelers — lost baggage. Richard Wilen left Atlanta, Ga., on Eastern Airlines and arrived in Eugene on Hughes Air West on Jan. 5. His back pack. containing camping gear and most of his clothes, did not follow the same flight plan and has not been seen since. Wilen said he called the Hughes office in San Francisco, wrote letters to the company, called the FAA (which referred him to an office in Washington D.C.) and was still unable to get any results. Enter the Beef Box. According to Edward LeShane, manager of the Eugene Air West office, there is nothing that can be done locally. The report of Wilen's loss is on file in the San Francisco main office, and as far as the Eugene office is concerned, the case is closed. Every Air West employe I spoke to assured me that there should be a letter winging its way to Wilen with proper apologies, and no one could understand why he hadn't yet heard from them. Wilen s next step is to file a claim for replacement of the missing baggage. He should mail an estimate of the contents of the backpack and their approximate worth to the address listed on the back of his baggage claim ticket. The airline is responsible for losses up to S500; however, the value will be depreciated depending on the nature of the claim and the contents of the backpack, according to LeShane The airline doesn t have any set time for repayment, although for cus tomer relations they try to process the losses as quickiy as possible The Beef Box now has a box for complaints and problems in the Emerald office at 300 EMU.
