Journalis newsrooin Journalism seniors are receiving practical experience in a simulated newspaper city room. -The new program is part of a new course combining two courses. The senior practicum is a combination of Journalism 336, advanced copyediting and Jour nalism 446, advanced reporting. To accomodate the mock city room, renovations are being completed in the academic level of the Coliseum. Prviously unused space has been converted into a city room along with a new auditorium for General Studies, according to Dr. Albert T. Scroggins, dean of the College of Journalism. Scroggins said the practicum is being established to give jour nalism majors experience in daily newspaper operations, although a newspaper will be printed only once a month. Scroggins said all processes involved, except actual printing, will be initiated each week. Material from beginning reporting ana photography classes and an editorial writing class will be in corporated into a monthly "Carolina Reporter," previously printed once a semester. "The paper will be set up with a managing editor and an Associated Press (AP) wire machine, like a city room of a daily newspaper," Scroggins said. "We have a regular staff which has been organized like a daily," he added. Henry Price, assistant professor LEE Tickets Only'?3 - m adds a course of journalism, and J. J McElveen, instructor, will teach the course, Price will teach copyediting and layout, and McElveen will teach reporting. Students will rotate job to have a chance at reporting and copyediting.

Last year, the team had a 2-2 record, competing with the University of Georgia, Georgia College at Milledgeville, Furman University and Western Carolina. This year an eight-game schedule is planned, adding Winthrop, Duke, University of North Carolina and Eastern Carolina.
