Some of the topics
were story writing st;
up picture and sto
for newspaper use, tlig^raining
of new staff members, gettin
support from clubs and orga:
izations on campus and the
of pictures in publications, 'yhe
problems and difficulties of/the
individual schools were di^uss-ed
collectively and meth<Ms for
solving them were sug^sted.
At a banquet on F r i ^ y eve-ning,
Mr. William Cotfer, one-time
City Editor of / h e Long
Island Daily Press oxA now City
Editor of the Syra^se Herald-
Journal, spoke on yChe problems
confronting the Wg city paper
as compared to mose of the col-lege
newspaper./ He pointed out
tse difficulty oy getting men and
women who have been satisfac-torily
schooled in English and
grammar arm who are able to
take down me facts of a story
accurately. 3e also stressed the
importance of the proof-reader
and the re\ /^rite man. The re-write
man is the person who
takes the r >ugh copy from the
reporter ana turns it into a fin-ished
story. \ The proof-reader,
an integral Vog in the news-paper
staff, reads and checks
the stories f\r accuracy and
grammatical mi\akes. To em-phasize
the imp^tance of the
proof-reader, Mr. y^otter gave
as an example a g^ry which
had come in that da^k A very
important wedding hahk taken
place, so important that irS^ade
first page. The story submit
read like this: "The bride wore
a gown of silk and lace and in
her left hand she carried an old-fashioned"!
It is the job of the
proof-reader to spot and correct
errors such as this before the
paper goes to press.
Each year the conference is
conducted by another school.
This year, the Buffalo State
Teachers College was host. The
student officers did an excellent
job and everything went along
smoothly and according to
schedule.
The Rambler and Islander
staffs felt that the conference
was an invaluable educational
and social experience. Mistakes
of the past will be rectified and
future issues will reflect know-ledge
gained at Syracuse.

TNING SCHOOL
'SERVES COMMUNITY
An educational and adminis-
;rative service that most stu-lents
are not acquainted with
is the Evening and Extension
Division of S. U. A. T. I. This
Division selects the dates on
which many campus activities
are held, does the public rela-tions
work for the Institute, and
is responsible for the Evening
or "Night" School.
The Evening School originated
in 1938 when it offered extension
courses in Agriculture to home-owners
and was given impetus
by the Victory Garden campaign
during the Second World War.
After the war, interest in this
field and others grew enormous-ly
and consequently enrollment
and the number of courses made
available increased. During the
1948-49 school year, a total of
1,658 people attended Evening
School. Last year, 9,246 stu-dents
enrolled in the Institute's
evening program and some 4,800
are in attendance this quarter.
The courses offered by the
Evening School include agricul-tural,
horticultural, and a wide
range of technological subjects.
Any person not in attendance at
