(CWB) and the American

Daily news broadcasts from
WUSC-FM will be discontinued at
the end of the semester when the
station begins programming for
Educational Radio's new 100,000watt
transmitter.
"We will be more or less the
flagship for that station," news
director Jim Chumley said. "We
already produce programs for the
Educational Radio network."
Classical music programs
broadcast nightly by the College of
General Studies will continue, and
daily programming will be done by

Mai Johnson was educated at
Temple University where she
majored in elementary education.
Before becoming a , broadcaster
she taught school in England and in
the South Pacific.
"Journalism schools are turning
out untrained and unskilled
graduates. They only know
theory," Johnson said.
"In 1975 The Wall Street Journal
hired eight out of 2,300 applicants.
The market is tight so the right
direction has to be taken. The
future is calling for better interpretation
of the news and this
calls for those trained in the
humanities, social sciences and
political science," she continued.
"To be successful good skills are
needed in writing and reading and ,

M. Kahn.
The award was presented April 7
at the Calcott Social Science
Center. Kahn said, "It's the nicest
thing that has happened to me at
USC. I'm very appreciative and
very honored." He added, "I feel
the students here are as good as
those anywhere I've been."
Kahn graduated summa cum
laude from Dickinson College in
Carlisle, h'enn., in 1969. He
received his Master of Art degree
from Indiana University in 1973
and is working on his doctorate.
His primary interest is teaching
American politics and urban and
black politics. He prefers to lecture.
"I believe the lecture is still
alive as a teaching method. I enjoy
lecturing but I like some variety.
Teaching is most important. It has
to be number one. To take money
for being a professor and not teach
is taking money under false
pretenses."
