Searching of Students
Leaving- Library.
MADISON, Wis. (CNS). To put
an end to the stealing of books
from the University of Wisconsin
library, the university faculty
were on record this week in favor
of a guard system whereby all stu
dents would be searched upon
leaving the library shelves.
Owing to a budget shortage,
however, the faculty faced some
difficulty in obtaining authority to
employ necessary guards, necessi
tating a delay in the "right of
search" plan for at least a month.
It was stated that the library loses
some 75Q booka per year.

O'FUREY SPEAKS AT
Senator Tells About Fields
Of Journalistic Work
Open to Beginner.
In an informal talk at the month
ly dinner meeting of Sigma Delta
Chi, professional journalistic fra
ternity, Thursday night Senator J.
P. O'Furey spoke of the two main
fields of work open to beginning
newspapermen.
Senator O'Furey, editor of the
Cedar County News, stated that
beginners may take up either met
ropolitan journalism or the coun
try weekly newspaper. "Young
journalists are apt to have an in
clination towards the city paper
because they think there are more
thrills connected with it," he de
clared. Country Paper Has Thrills.
The senator asserted that there
are, however, many thrills in the
country weekly field, and also, of
greater importance, there is a bet
ter chance to render service. "I
have had many years of work in
both fields," he said, "and I much
prefer the community weekly."
O'Furey also spoke briefly of the
different types of country editors.
According to him there are those
who have rsen from the print shop
and no clear cut ideas on how to
run a paper. They fear to follow
out any strong editorial policy and
render no service. Contrasted with
these are the editors who take de
cided stands on what they think is
right and in many cases render
great service.
