SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLICITY COMMITTEE GETS STUDENT NEWS
Securing publicity concerning Southern California for eight southern California papers is the work of the Student Publicity committee. Besides the Los Angeles city papers, there are representatives from Pasadena and Long Beach. So far, over 7500 inches of newspaper space has been given over this year to the activities of the Trojan student body.
The committee itself has been organized only since September, but the
result has been that already the school has had more newspaper space this year than ever before. Much of the publicity has been in the form of action pictures.
There are ten ’members doing active work on the committee at present, all of whom are journalism majors, besides Bill Henley, who is a member ex-officio. The members who are co-operating in Newspaper Day are: Bill Harvey, chairman; Karmi Wyckoff, secretary; and Terrel de Lapp, Matt Barr, Bill Arnold, Wilbur
♦ Harding, Ralph Huston, Fred Chase, Lee Bastajian, Jimmie Grant. This committee is recognized on the campus and is represented by Bill Harvey on the Student Executive Committee.
Id the past two weeks, the committee has done publicity work for the junior play, the woman’s edition of the Trojan, the Extravaganza, Leap Week, class elections, and class officers. Pictnres have appeared on all o*f these stories.
Practically every important campus event finds its way into the downtown and southern California papers through these workers. Almost every organization has at some time or other had a story run about their activities.
