HOUSTON — Bright red ban ners and a new logo, along with lots of magazine-quality photo graphs were only a few changes that readers of The new Hous ton Post noticed Monday in the first edition of the paper under new management. The 99-year-old newspaper, which was purchased last week by the Toronto Sun for $100 million, looks a great deal diffe rent than it has in the past. Some employees at a “coming out” party Sunday compared the paper’s new appearance to USA Today. An eight-inch wide dramatic color photograph from Beirut of a captured American Navy pilot graced the front page, along with a thin, 16-inch-long color picture on the left side of the front page of a stuntman near Houston climbing up a radio transmission tower. But gone from the pages of The Post was the daily prayer, the ads on section fronts and the buried editorials. Instead, Mon day readers saw on the editorial page a large cartoon of Houston Mayor Kathy Whitmire asking if the fire chiefs hat comes in woman’s sizes and a column by longtime city hall reporter Tom Kennedy about the influence of women in city politics. The new publisher J.D. Creighton accompanied Mrs. Whitmire Sunday night to the pressroom as the first issues of the new format Post came off the presses. Editor-in-Chief Peter O’Sulli van said he was pleased with the new look of the paper, but emphasized it still had to be “cleaned up a bit.” “We don’t w&nt it to look like a comic book,” O’Sullivan said. The front sports page flashes a color picture from Sunday’s Houston Oilers game, and in side the section action black- and-white pictures from other NFL games are used. The busi ness section is also in full color, with graphs and charts on the cover. Move Yourself, All Your Stuff, And Save, Too! It’s as easy as renting a Ryder truck, one way.

The interns now work 40 hours a week and receive a salary of $12,500 a year. There are only four intern ship positions available at the Student Counseling Service. “The reason is because we only have funding for four posi tions and because given our staff size we feel like that’s the max imum number we can bring in and give quality supervision to,” Bradbury said. Applicants from around the country competing for these positions must meet several qualifications — they must be a counseling psychology major, pass doctoral qualifying exami nations and have dissertation proposals approved prior to be ginning the internship. After these qualifications are met, the five-member Training Committee evaluates the appli cants according to their experi ence and academic background. Bradbury said important parts of the selection process are the letters of recommendation provided by the applicant and the interview in which they are judged as to how well they com municate during the application process. This year’s interns are Penny Haws from the University of Mississippi, Robert McPherson from the University of Houston, Jane Morgan from Oklahoma State University and Jane War ren from the University of Wyoming. *1 00 off $500 w Purchase with this coupon $ 2 00 off $1000 purchase with this coupon sed turnatc 3hio told oM is offered to students seek- La degree in counseling nd a Pj|ydi<)logy.
