Tell Problems
BY RUTH JEWETT
Lincoln High
While interviewing students at
tending the Nebraska High School
Press Association convention, the
varied problems of their respec
tive newspapers were brought out.
Jackie McKinney: Northeast
High School, representing the
"Northeastern":. "The greatest,
problem of our staff seems to
be in choosing the topics for the
editorials," she stated. Jackie
commented that she enjoyed
having a gossip column in a
school paper, and that in her
opinion it didn't add or detract
from it, adding that she thought
that the gossip columns were
the most widely read. "We keep
a record of the names that have
appeared in these columns, so
that they are not duplicated too
often," replied Jackie, "and we
have a rule that no member
of the staff may have his name
in it."
Joan Omachi: "The Scoop",
David City, David City High
School:
"Our paper comes out once
a month, as it is financed only
by the school board. For this
reason and several others, the
interest in the paper is small,
making the problem of circula
tion rather difficult. We will
have to think of new and dif
ferent ways to circulate it to
arouse the students' Interest. "
Joan is editor-in-chief of "The
Scoop," and is thinking of at
tending Nebraska W e s 1 e y a n
next fall.
Barbara Chescn: "The Advo
cate." Lincoln High school, Lin-
co!
' : I;;' !? that placing a cen
sorship '"at can go into the
pape up to a certain
point. However, the Advocate
sometimes has a little trouble
along this line, but our biggest
difiiculty lies in the fact that
we have so little office space to
work in efficiently." Barbara
holds the position of associate
editor on the "Advocate."
Phyllis Olson: "The Imp"
Cambridge:
"Although our paper comes
out only every two weeks, get
ting news in on time see-in s to
be a problem."
Pat Palmquist: "The North
Star", Omaha North, Omaha:
"I am not too favorably im
pressed with the University,
mostly due to the fact that I
prefer smaller schools. I am
planning to attend a smaller
college such as Grinnell or
Carleton. Soroties and fra
ternities do not appeal to me,
and they seem to be a big thing
on the campus here at Nebras
ka." Pat, who is the third page
editor for the "North Star,"
entered the current events con
test. Concerning the United Na
tions Organization, she replied,
"I do not think that it will suc
ceed, and will probably turn
out like the "League of Nations"
did after the first World War.
The next step is world govern
ment, and the United Nations
is not a world government in
that they are not united."
Trouble With Leads
Keith Schermerhorn: "The
North Star," Omaha North, Oma
ha: "For me the greatest trouble
as sports editor is having the
copy turned in on time. Also,
getting a story started is diffi
cult, but after that the rest of it
seems to come off the end of
the pencil. I would like to at
tend the University of Nebraska
school of Journalism, as I plan
to take up journalistic sports
writing in the future."
Chuck Brenan: "The Spud,"
Alliance:
"Gossip columns seem to be
what the kids want, but it cer
tainly takes our rating down,"
explained thic column writer
from "The Spud." "I think these
press conventions are a good
deal, if you plan to continue
in the journalistic field, as you
discover the difference between
writing for a high school paper
and a University publication."
When asked about his future
plans, Chuck replied, "I would
like to enter Stanford univer
sity, in the business adminis
tration course. One of my rea
sons for not planning to make a
future in journalism is because
competition will be keen and
because the field is definitely
getting more crowded."
