Jepsen, R-Iowa, in Washington,
D.C. after being chosen for the
Sears Congressional Internship
Program for Journalism Stu
dents.
“The most important thing
about this program is the marve
lous experience Erica will have
when she’s through,” Bob Ro
gers, head of the Department of
Communications at Texas
A&M, said.
Krennerich said she plans to
focus her interests on television
broadcast.
“I like the immediacy of tele
vision,” she said. “I like the idea
that you don’t have to wait on
printing to tell people what’s
happening.”
Krennerich will begin a week
of orientation Feb. 1 and her
internship will be Feb. 8
through April 30.
Interns will work with their
appointed congressman 40
hours per week and attend semi
nars on reporting economics,
the White House "and other
Washington news.

A major reason for the grow
ing interest in Texas AI M by
many students is an expanding
academic scholarship program
that allows the university to re
cruit scholars the way most
schools recruit blue-chip foot
ball players, President Frank E.
Vandiver said.
The scholarships are fi
nanced by private contributions,
