Show Paul C. Kimball, Head of the Publicity Bureau. CHE university authorities, recognizing the necessity of keeping in closer communication with the people of the state, organized the Publicity Bureau in 1920. The organization is connected with the national group of the same name, and receives material from the large national syndicates. It also receives material from all the newspapers in the rocky mountain district. It has communications with seventy-five Utah, Idaho, and Arizona papers to which it sends newspaper matter relating to the University of Utah. Each week it sends one lead article and personal newsws concerning students from the particular region to which the article is sent. It also sends feature stories to all the leading newspapers and magazines in the country. The bureau collects interesting material and pictures for a school scrap-book which is kept by this organization. Our bureau has received favorable comment from the national group as comparing favorably with the best of such bureaus in other parts of the country. Theron Parmelee has had complete charge of the bureau since it was organized in 1920. This year Paul Kimball has run the bureau in a very commendable manner. He has always been prompt with his work, and has received commendation from the correspondents for the high grade work he has done. Utah is sadly lacking in publicity matter that will keep its alumni in close touch with campus and University affairs. The extension division is doing its part in presenting a means for continued education, and the publicity bureau attempts to reach those interested in the University through the medium of the state newspapers, but no effort is being made to communicate in a personal way with former students and graduates. A large University that intends to develop through the help of alumni and friends must send news of its achievements, and also its desires, directly to the people. 2 Contest dumber uiNi/ERSITY PEN UOOOQOforatitJetothis Cover iberty o/f Weakly for Evtrybody V N U M, B K Pv :*r^ Student Publications.
