Aiming at the practical side of newspaper work, Southern California offers to students interested in journalism a most diversified training in the principals of this profession, according to Mr. Marc Goodnow, professor in Journalism.

Just one more week remains for students in Liberal Arts to be photographed for the 1926 El Rodeo, according to the announcement of Ed Murray, editor of the annual. After next week there will be no further opportunity for members of the Liberal Arts group to get their pictures into the annual, either as individuals or as members of an organization.
That most of the pictures of Liberal Arts students have been completed, was the information given out by Murray. There are a few students and organizations, however, who have made no arrangements for their yearbook photographs. These have only until the end of next week to make such arrangements.
After finishing up the work on the Liberal Arts campus, the Densmoore Studio photographer, who is handling the photographic work for the El Rodeo, will commence work on the other colleges of the university. Students of Law, Dental, and the rest of the schools and colleges will have their pictures made at that time.

Examinations as now scheduled are too great a strain on students and faculty alike, and must be rearranged, according to a group of prominent members of the Executive Committee, w’ho started a petition yesterday, protesting against the present schedule, and asking for its revision
The petition already bears the names of such well known students as Don Cameron, student body president, Ronald Stever .president of the Senior class, Ethel Oliver, president of the Associated Women Students, Jeff Cravath, captain of the football team, Kathleen - Campbell and Sam Gates, members of the Executive Committee, and Hal Williamson, president of the graduate students.
The committee which drew up the petition was appointed at a meeting of the Executive Committee, January 12, at the Alpha Chi Omega house, and consists of Sam Gates, chairman, Don Cameron, Kathleen Campbell, Bart Hutchins, and Professor J. Frank Smith, of the Chemistry faculty.
Students and members of the faculty are to be given an opportunity to sign the petition this morning at tables in front of the Old College, the Administration, and the Pharmacy buildings. The committee asks that
Governor Richardson Is Special Guest Of Journalism School

The Governor has a particularly strong interest in journalism, being the owner of a Northern California paper, a former state printer and the president of the California Press Association for the past twenty years..

IN PROFESSION
Students of Journalism Department Make Good In Commercial Journalism Work.
Many graduates of Southern California who have risen to front place in the newspaper field are to return to
the campus for the Fourth Annual Newspaper Day. These former S. C. students were trained in the offices of the Daily Trojan, and devoted much ot their energy to campus publications.
Following are some of the well known proiessional newspaper writers who during the past five years have attended the University or Southern California:
Maxwell Stiles, formerly of the Trojan sport staff, is at present a member of the Los Angeles Examiner sport staff. Stiles has done much towards all students who have petitions turn j the promotion of high school and col-them in at the Student Body office, in the Journalism building, by this noon.
The present examination schedule, which was published in the Trojan recently, has aroused much criticism because it is so arranged that a student ' might have four final examinations in one day, while the faculty would have to conduct the examinations, mark the papers, hand in the final grades and at the same time help to advise and register new students. Students wrho were interviewed regarding the petition endorsed it unanimously.
