Vol. 7

THE PROGRAM arranged for the sixth annual Oregon Newspaper Conference is made up, largely, of what the editors, publishers, advertising men and printers want. It has been made up for both city and country newspapermen. There is something for everybody, and the University and the School of Journalism want everybody in Oregon journalism to turn his work over to the “sub,” whoever it is, and come on. Dates, February 15 and 16, next Friday and Saturday.

The Oregon Newspaper Conference has grown from that small beginning in 1919. with the shadow of the war just lifted from the land. The advertising section of the program has been built up; the trade journalists, who came to the conference last year for the first time. will be here in greater numbers and with a bigger program. Among the editors of daily, twice-a -week. and weekly papers every section of the state will be represented, and a high percentage of the papers will have at least one representative here.

This year, for the first time, the Willamette Valley Ben Franklin Club will meet at the University simultaneously with the Newspaper Conference. Many of the community publishers are them selves members of the Franklin Club, and the printing problems are what they want to hear discussed.

The Conference has come to be also the winter session of the Oregon State Editorial Association, and President Hoes will have some business for the members who come.

The “Short Course in Journalistic English” has been added to the program, not on the initiative of the School of Journalism, but at the request of a number of newspapermen and trade journalists who wish to keep their English up to the best standards of the profession. This course will be handled under the direction of Dean Colin V. Dyment of the University of Oregon, who was him self engaged in newspaper editorial work for many years, and he will be assisted by a group of state newspaper men who take particular interest in the art of expression.

The usual enjoyable banquet and campus luncheon are on the program. A committee of campus women and journalism fraternity girls will help make the stay of the ladies at the Conference in delightful memory. Both students and faculty of the institution are looking for ward to the visit of the newspapermen. It will be a pleasant and a profitable occasion.

The program follows:
