While Typewriters Click Students of Journalism at Weber Trained in Press Room Atmosphere OGDEN- Keeping pace with Weber College education policies to accent the practical, journalism students get newspaper training in real press room atmosphere. Tailored training at the college has as its goal adapting students to job requirements and community needs. Journalism studies adhere closely to the pattern and help mark out new paths in better learning. Boasting at least four former students now assembling news on full or part-time schedules for Utah dailies, the class is open to freshmen and sophomores who have a yen for reportorial careers. Three quarters of training are offered. Professional Experience Instructing is Lawrence C. Evans, English teacher, whose professional experience includes a hitch as night city editor for a state paper. For the past three years “Signpost,” the junior college publication, has won all-American recognition in competition with other colleges of its class. During 1947 and 1948 several “firsts” in news, feature, and editorial writing were snapped up by students who submitted entries to the annual Brigham Young University journalism tilt. The four-page tabloid is written, edited, made up, and released by a staff of 26, Mr. Evans said. Also published by the class is a bulletin which supplements the bi-weekly edition. As Typewriters Click Journalism majors meet three times weekly in the typing room. Here, under supervision, they put news notes into acceptable newspaper stories. While typewriters click, the teacher drifts from desk to desk suggesting, correcting, and encouraging. “We are convinced,” Mr. Evans said, “that is simulating real life conditions education more nearly fulfills its true responsibility that of equipping each individual with practical experience in his chosen profession.”
