Pram their diversity the con­ clusion reached is that there is no one way tp succeed; there are no rules, and increasingly no limits to what a woman Journalist's aspirations may be. the use of the world "new" in the title signifies more than anything change, above all change in the numbers of women editors setting to the top in Jour­ nalism today. Of course there have been women editors before, and some of thoee who write here are by no means new to their The number of women editors is still small but it is growing. "Female college students out­ number males." writes Mrs. Clabes in her introduction. "Females outnumber malea, . period. Female journalism students outnumber males. It makes sense that practice will catch up with reality." All acknowledge that there is a long way to go and that a great deal of effort is still needed ̂un­ til the time when no one will any longer find reason to put together such a book ao this. What does it take? "Hard woriL" says Linda Griat Cunningham bluntly.

Herald, of which her grandfather was one of the rounders, and of which she is now editor and publisher. Another editor for whom it's in the family is Barbara C. White, who deacribes herself as "one of a disappearing breed -- a member of a Mom and Pop team which runs a family-owned newspaper." Her paper is the Meriden, Conn., ReconHournal. Then there ia Ann Faragher, editor of the Herald Banner, Greenviufc, Texas, who writes that when she was was making career (dans, being a newspaper editor was not an alternative die considered -- "And no one was more surprised than I when I became a reporter." Nancy Woodhull tells how she began to break the rules by not finishing college and by taking a job as proofreader on a local newspaper instead. She still believes that enthusiasm and in­ telligence count for more than college. Luck can count, too, according to BeveriyKees, executive editor of the Grand Forks, N.D., Herald. But, "I have figured out that the luck that got me various jobs over the years was in­ variably prompted by my own actions," she comments. Ms. Kees makes another observation that epitomizes an important message of this book. There is no question that women face some barriers than men do not," she writes, "but it's not the barriers alone that hold us back. It's our belief they will." ("New Guardians of the Pros," is published by Berg, By SANDY COLTON AP Newsfeaturas Among the newspapers that use this cohmn is my old alma the Pacific Stars and -- a daQy devoted to GIs in Asia. Recently I received a note from a name out of the past, Jim Shaw. We'd first met many years ago on a troop transport. I was on my way back to Tokyo. He was going for the first time to join the wipes staff. Jim has gone on since then to newer challenges. He's now editorial director of a magazine for GIs called Off Duty, baaed in Hong Kong. He said He'd read one of my columns in the Pacific Stars and one of their new publications, called Off Duty Photo Guide'M. It's a guide to shopping for military forces based overseas who want to buy photographic equipment throughtheir local ex­ changes -- and much more. It's also an excellent guide to shooting pictures. It goes on to tell younow to get thenest from whatever you buy. It takes you easily from buying that first camera through various lenses and special techniques into darkroom work. On top of that it lists just about every type of camera, from the idiot-proof, do-everything-for- you camera to top~of-the-line pro­ fessional cameras. It also lists just about every type of lens available worldwide, including some, I suspect, that* are not available in the U.S. and their prices. Remember this is a list of equipment available to GIs sta­ tioned around the world. They have access to some items we may not be able to get and the prices are roughly what they could expect to pay for the item at a military exchoige outside of the U.S. A camera, tor example, purchased and sold in Japan might be cheaper than one im­ ported into the UJS. where freight and customs duty would have to be added. Still, I found many of the prices comparable to what you could buy a similar product for here in the U.S. at a major discount house. For some I did have to add the cost of shipping and customs duty; This listing could be invaluable for anyone trying to do some comparison shopping. Each listing contains a very good MONKEY SHINES.
