Students in the regular winter session have for years had the University of Washington Daily, but this is only the third time summer school students have undertaken to publish a paper.

News stories for the publication are selected from the work of the class in reporting, while the editorials are ileaned from the productions of the class in editorial writing Professor Eric W. Allen of the University of Oregon, who heads the journalism department for the summer, acts as editor.

The University Journal, edited by summer school students at the Washington State University, will carry a department this year which will give the news of the Presidio and of the ambulance corps.
