Designed for men Interested in

“Agricultural magazines are
growing; radio is in need of trains
ed farm reporters, and business
firms are looking for writing men
with an agricultural journalism
background. Good jobs are open in
extension and experiment station
editorial work. This is one field
that is not crowded,” he said.
The agricultural journalism ma
jor supplements other work of
the department and is the sec
ond degree plan to be offered by
the department
Agricultural students taking thin
curriculum will study typography,
editing, advertising, radio writing,
feature writing, magazine editing,
and’"special article writing. Study
plans will be.-adapted to individ
ual student’* interests and objec
tives, Burchard said. >

tar, drums, and piano of Jesse

a sizable crowd for an evening of
gay entertainment.
