Show Alan Brown Student Director of News Bureau NEWS BUREAU HjpHE News Bureau or Publicity Bureau of the University of -**• Utah was first organized in 1920 to establish a closer contact between the university and the people of the state through the local newspapers. The beginnings of this department, though rather small at first, were significant, and through the efficient work of the various representatives who have been in charge, the bureau has increased in size and communications. At the present time, the Publicity Bureau contributes news articles to eighty-eight inter-mountain newspapers and not infrequently receives news events from the various exchanges. Every county in the State of Utah, with the exception of two, receives publicity from the University News Bureau. The bureau, as a whole, has been under the direction of Theron Parmelee, Secretary to the President of the Institution. The plan of the year's work has been in charge of Alan Brown, the student representative, who has been a capable and efficient head. His dependability has been established by his work on the bureau for the past two years. This year, the News Bureau of the University of Utah has cooperated with local reporters to furnish news of the university activities and of the students to the local papers. PUBLICATIONS COUNCIL The duty of the Publications Council is the appointment of editors and business managers for the student publications of the University of Utah, and the fixing of salaries and budgets. The Council is elected by a student-body election and is composed of two faculty and three student-body members. The faculty members serve two years and are chosen at alternate years. The faculty representative serving his second year automatically becomes chairman. This position at present is filled by Elbert D. Thomas; the other faculty member is Levi Edgar Young. Two of the student representatives are chosen for one year; the third, for two. Those on the Council for one year are Marion L. Gowans and D. R. Skidmore; Richard Lambourne has been elected for two years. Theron S. Parmelee has done much toward aiding the Council in its work by acting as a Council representative and supervisor over student affairs. Gowans Skidmore Young Lambourne |
