ORGANIZATION LOUIS H. BELL JAMES H. COOGAN MARGARET H. BUYERS MARION W. NAGLE News values in the United States have undergone radical alteration in the last 18 months. has come about as a reflection of our national preoccu- pation with the all-out war effort and the social and economic changes which have followed in its wake. The threat of serious newsprint and magazine paper rationing serves as a further challenge to publicize the colleges and universities of America at a time when too few persons are aware of the significant contributions higher education is making and will continue to make Director - Assistant Director Assistant Publications Editor ROBERT C. PRICE - - Publications Production Manager News Assismnl This change LOUIS H. BELL to the winning 0f the war and 0f the peace to follow. J A MES H. COOGAN Now, as before, it is the duty of the Department of Public Information to keep the people of the State and nation informed of the constructive contributions the College is making on its campus and throughout the State in the 178 centers where federally-supported En- gineering, Science, and Management War Training pro- grams are being conducted. Much of the credit for the effective publicizing of the extension program, in co- ordination with the basic publicity program of the Col- lege, should be attributed to the ESMWT publicity staff, in whose oHices the vast preponderance of this material has originated. The task of publicizing the College will become increasingly difficult as space in media becomes less and less available. But the worthiness of the underlying project is supported by a War Production Board pre- diction that even in a bedrock economy, such as might become imperative during a long war, 89 per cent of the educational services necessary in 1941 would still be needed for effective civilian morale.
