(USC News Service Photo b3 Erstwhile AP Man New University N4 Is Experienced In "It's quite a new experience for me to be on this cide of the inter view," commented Robert J. Cran ford, veteran newspaperman and new head of the university news service, when interviewed recently. Before taking his present posi tion in December of last year, Cranford was with the Associated Press in Charlotte, N. C., and Co lumbia. The main function of the news service, Cranford explained, is to keep the people of South Carolina informed as to their state univer sity. "We are the schoqj's public relations for the state," he said. The news service uses a mailing list to all newspapers in the state, both daily and weekly. News items, events, announcements and pictures relating to the university comprise the service to these papers. In ad dition, the Associated Press and the United Press receive selected bulletins. "Among other minor duties, we are host to any newspaper, maga zine or radio personnel visiting on the campus," Cranford said. Cranford was graduated from Duke University in 1928 at the age of 19.

A recent addition by Cranford's office is a "hometown service" which sends short items about stu dents to their hometown papers. "When a student is elected to some campus office, or makes straight 'A's', it may not have state-wide news value, but to his hometown paper, that's news-good news," he concluded.

Fitzgerald said today. Some of the schools car be attended under the "GI Bill of Right.." A ten-week air tour of Colombia and seven other Latin-American countries sponsored by the Nation al University of Colombia will be gin at Chicago on June 25. Classes will be given at the university which confer eight college credits. U. S. government fellowships are available to graduate students who wish to engage in study and re search in other American Repub lics, with veterans being given some preference. Doctor Fitzgerald called atten tion to the picturesque histories of South American colleges, nine of which were established before the United States had her first at Harvard. The University of San Marcus was founded in 1551, a hundred*years before Harvard and is the oldest university in the Americas, he said. "Latin-America had 23 universi ties when they fought their civil war only 50 years after our own," Doctor Fitzgerald said.

The United States has appro priated over five billion dollars for the current fiscal year to carry out the program. The ERP does not require return payment from the participating nations. Fifty-nine percent of the stu dents questioned were acquainted with the recovery program. How ever, a much smaller percentage knew the principles and issues of the Marshall Plan. Seventy per cent thought that the program is a loan to European countries. Estimates of the cost of the pro gram ranged from a $100,000 to 310 billion dollars. The average estimate was in the millions. As the ERP is the key to United States foreign policy, it was inter esting to note that only 54 per cent of those questioned knew the name of the secretary of state, Dean Acheson. Twenty percent in si?:ted that James Forrestal, secre tary of national defense, is head of the State department. Students of the school of arts and science were better informed than any other group.
