A semester's training in Journalism is required for editorial staff members and a new system for training business staff workers was put into effect this spring. Students entering the beginning journalism class, which is an elective subject open to juniors and seniors, must be able to write in good Eng- lish and express themselves clearly. In the train- ing course, the fundamentals of news writing are acquired and students are familiarized with headline writing, feature writing, make-up and other phases of newspaper work. Students suc- cessfully completing the course become members of the Noroscope and North Wind editorial staffs. The present North Wind business staff, which is the second hour retail sales class, inaugurated a training program for prospective staff members this spring. A selected group of cubs were taught the fundamentals of selling advertising. A ’ cub knowledge hunt, in which the beginners acquired necessary experience in accosting pros- pective advertisers was a feature of the training work. Next year the business work will be han- dled by a club rather than a retail sales class.
