In addition, it is the goal of Sigma Delta Chi, the professional journal ist fraternity, to nurture this interest in journalism until the tech-age press: becomes "practitioners," he concluded. ' The speaker referred to an "e x h 1 1 aratlng spiritual re ward" in finding the truth and in laying it down in black and white" for man kind. Turning to other members of the panel, Dean Slebert declared that each is required to face two important deci sions in life - the choosing of a mate and the selection of a career, in that order.
