News ServicE Of Student ) Printed By N Many a University of Sou a visit has been greeted witb article about you in it last w( "It did?" the average stude In most cases, parents or friends have clipped the article, and it is proudly exhibited to the student, who reads it, and usually com ments, "Now I wonder niow the paper found out about this?" And that is the purpose of this article--to explain how your home town paper gets those little bits of news about your doings at the Uni versity. It is called "the hometown ser vice," and it is one of the duties of the USC News Service, headed by Robert J. Cranford, veteran newspaperman. The service consists of gather ing news of interest about individ ual students, and sending it in dis patch form to the newspaper in the student's hometown. Election to campus offices, initiation into fraternities or sororities, roles in campus plays, etc., all are covered by the hometown service. . The latest campus event covered by the service was the release of the Dean's Honor List. Short ar ticles about the 500 students on the list were sent to over a hundred papers in South Carolina, as well as to out-of-state papers in such cities as Atlanta, Augusta, and Charlotte. Single name dispatches went as far as San Francisco and New York City. According to Cranford, over 90 percent of the dispatches are print ed by the newspapers to which M.
