Student Journalists Help Get Out Real Newspapers Students of the Medill School of Journalism of Northwestern university will get a glimpse of real newspapering during their Easter vacation when they will fill jobs as reporters and copy-readers on forty weekly and daily newspapers. ; The student-reporter is required to work during his vacation in order to learn something of the discipline of the city-room and the way in which editors manage their news and fea- tures. The vacation assignment is a part of a required course in field trips, under the director of Philip D. Jordan, instructor in journalism. During the past semester the students have visited the Chicago offices of the Associated Press, the United Press, the Western Newspaper Union, and the Chicago Tribune.
