mittee worked in conjunction with Prof. Henry B. Young in query-
ing Liberal Arts graduates by
postal card.
“The card requested informa
tion concerning types of jobs
held since graduation, employers,
locations and any change of ad
dress. This way we’ll be able to
compile a complete directory of
L.A. grads for use of L.A. stu
dents.
Need for Survey
“A definite need during the
past few years for such a survey
has been evidenced by the many
inquiries of L.A. students asking
what types of jobs are open to
them.”
Leonard Abrams, chairman of
the committee on student-teacher
relations, stated, “In an effort to
improve the quality of instruc
tion in the L.A. School and im

partment of journalism at the
College.
Awards were presented last
night to winners in the editorial
contest sponsored by the group.
Tom Lyon, sports editor of the
Centre Daily Times, received a
first award in the sports event
news story classification of news
papers under 15,000 circulation.
His winning story was, “Pan
thers Halt Nittany Unbeaten
String at 17.”
“On most papers of 10,000 cir
culation or less,” Miss Gross said,
“the editorial page is handled by
someone who does it in the timq
he can spare or steal from other
work. Yet the work of these one
man editorial pages is tremen
dously important.
“It is important that somebody
should be needling American
citizens to do a little thinking of
their own, and who can do it
better than the one-man edi
torial page pilot.”
Dean Warnock
Arthur R. Warnock, dean of
men at the College, in speaking
before the group, said, “Of the
editor who is writing an editorial
I ask that he follow the same in
structions which he gives to his
reporter s in writing news—get
all the facts. This is especially
important in editorials written
about local affairs and problems.”
Quinton E. Beauge, editor of
the Williamsport Gazette, de
scribed the organization of a
community advisory committee
during the war and the commu
nity benefit which had resulted.
In discussing meetings of the
committee, Mr. Beauge said,
“There is no community project
that does not get a thorough
going-over and you may imagine
what such a discussion means to
me as I ponder an editorial ap
proach.
“If you want to learn what
others think of your editorial
policy, a particular editorial, or
your newspaper in general, get
yourself a cross section of such
men who are not afraid to dis
agree.”
Carnival Chairman
Estimates Profit
Final statement of the net
profit of the All-College carni
val held April 29 is not available
because there are still some out
standing expenses, according to
Edmund Walacavage, former
chairman of the Inter-Class Fi
nance Committee. He estimated
the profit to bo in the neighbor
hood of about $7OO, somewhat
less than was originally believed.
A correction in the original
tabulations shows that in addi
tion to the first-place winner,
Beta Sigma Omicron, and the sec
ond place winner, Delta Chi,
there was n tie for third place
between Theta Chi and Tau Kap
pa Epsilon. Both fraternities will
be awarded the third prize of
$l5 worth of records.
Cheeks lor the original $5 de
posit and other expenses were
mailed to the participating or
■■anizations yesterday.
