Far more frequent than compli ments on one's columned nothings is the query, "How do you think of all those things to write?" Our first reaction is that of enraged femininity a woman with nothing to say is a psychopatic case. But the larger half and wearer of the pants writes so much the more that female-ness fails to account for copy. Professional and professorial pen pushers must wax frothy at the mouth from repeated in quiries as to how to write. As a seeker after the light, we have contributed our bit to the hair tearing. The most frequent state ment thrown from between clenched teeth is that if you have anything worth writing, you'll write it and no questions asked. Our own cousin claims that the ideal situation for the production of copy is merely a sitting down before a typewriter and a saying of what you have to say. Or bet ter yet, she adds, a sitting down inspired by a contract backed de UDENTS TODAY And whence the things to write? If you believe, with Wordsworth, that one finds intimidations of im mortality in nature, take yourself a ramble. You'd be surprised the things to stumble onto highway testing laboratories, astronomical laboratories, piles of pillars, baby locomotives in the making, collec tions of first edition Dickens, soil erosion tests, or mural maps of Paris. Or people Shawn hatir.g greenhouse keepers and book lov ing Moon waitresses.

Said the Master, "You're a very young man. Why not begin with bal lads?" Replied the aspirant, "You com posed Bjmphonies when you were ten years old." Observed Mozart, "Yes, but I didn't ask how." A week or so ago in a small Minnesota town, a boy suffered an Injured eye In a high school basketball game. At a hospital, doctors shook their heads pity ingly and told him he'd never see out of that eye again. The boy said. "Hell, I haven't seen out of it since I was six years old!" Those who would prepare stud ents for journalistic careers might well look past headlines, leads, makeups, and such mechanics to a few of the problems with which a newspaperman or woman will inevitably have to wrestle. Just such a one was presented in (Continued on Page 2).
