School of Journalism The decision as to what goes into print is the studentslf' This, according to Dean Marvin, is the basic philosophy upon which the School of journal- ism functions. The XVilliam Allen YVhite School of -journalism and Public Information exists to intsruct students in the various aspects of journalism, and to allow them to utilize their knowledge in a practical manner. The 125 students presently enrolled in the School ol' journalism have a choice of three majors: news- editorial, radio-television, and advertising. Instruc- tion in these areas is performed by a faculty with both long academic and professional experience in the varied fields of journalism. In addition to carrying out their regular teaching duties the faculty operates KANU-FM, the only FM radio station on the Hill. The students in the School can obtain practical experience through the publication of the Urzivcrszfty Daily Kansan and the operation of the student radio station KUOK. Arrangements made with various Kansas City, Lawrence, and Topeka newspapers en- able students to gain experience off-campus with larger journalistic organizations. The television lab- oratory located behind the stage in Hoch Auditorium makes it possible for students to become familiar with modern television techniques through the periodic microwave broadcasting of live television programs to XVIBXV in Topeka. The School is housed in Flint Hall along with the University Press and the Mfilliam Allen YVhite Me- morial Reading Room and Historic Center. The His- toric Center possesses a collection ol' valuable books concerning the field of journalism. Included in this collection are twenty-five personally inscribed books written by W'iilizun Allen NVhite. Recognition should be given the School of jour- nalism for the great responsibility it bears in the edu- cation of those who shall influence public knowledge and opinion in the future.
