( A asai VA s 4/i New Deaj Newspapi By Mary Alice Carhart Feature Editor Ever wonder what it would be like to hold down two demanding positions at the same time? If so, just ask Dean G. A. Buchanan who is the newly appointed dean of the school of journalism and also editor of the Columbia Record. Of his role at the University (his alma mater), Dean Buchanan said he "finds it very stimulating." He went on to say that he ex pects to obtain from the students much helpful information that will aid him on his paper. While a student at the Univer sity Dean Buchanan was presi dent of the student body, manag ing editor of the Gamecock, and president of Euphradian Literary Society. It was during his term as student body president that he incorporated the athletic activiti' fee into the present student activ ities fee so as to include allotments for the Gamecock. Garnet and Black and the literary magazine. Intended Law Study Actually Dean Buchanan had in tended to study law. He was of fered a fellowship in psychology at Clark University, Worchester, Mass. From here he was to go to Harvard Law School. However his first newspaper job must have proved so inviting as to cause him to forget law. During his last year at the University he began working on The State. He covered Camp Jackson (now Fort .Jackson) during World War I. From The State, he became city editor of the Charleston News and Courier. His next position was that as editor of the Columbia Record. Received Big Story Award As one would expect, a veteran For Easi Norris Candy Candy Milk Ch Mi To) Chocolate SThe CAMF r Is Also or Editor newspaperman like Dean Buchanan has had numerous "scoops" and memorable reporting experiences. Perhaps his most noted story was his solving of a filling station murder for which he received the Big Story Award. An account of the Columbia murder which' oc -urred 25 years ago appeared o both radio and television. Another outstanding story of Dean Buchanan's was that of the Cleveland School fire in Camden in which 76 persons were burned to death. He is said to have typed the story of this tragedy while sitting on top of an automobile juggling a typewriter between his knees. Other unforgettable reporting assignments were the Aiken lynch ing and the killing of Harry Mc Caw, former clerk of the South Carolina Supreme Court. Important Associates Ashley Halsey, Bill and Mason Brunson and Tom Warring are but a few of Buchanan's former newspaper associates who have gone on - to become important journalistic figures. A University graduate, Mr. Halsey is now asso ciate editor of the Saturday Eve ning Post. Buchanan is equally as active outside of the newspaper field: He has served as president of the Co lumbia Chamber of Commerce (two years), Columbia Rotary Club, Art Association, and Execu tives Club. He was also a founder of the Executives Club. Fourier Attends Health Convention Prof. Arthur E.
