Oregon Exchanges

For the Newspaper Men of the State of Oregon

PLANS ENLARGED FOR ANNUAL OREGON NEWSPAPER CONFERENCE

THE complete Conference program will be sent to the newspaper men of Oregon not long after the issuance of this number of Oregon Exchanges. The announcement is being held up to await definite word from certain features for the program. The features this year promise to be unusually interesting. The dates are March 22, 23, and 24.

The program committee has had the advantage of consulting several dozen editorial programs that have been presented in various parts of the United States in the last year, and the prediction is made that Oregon will be able to hold as good a meeting and present to the delegates as much food for thought and as valuable results of experience as any state in the country.

Entertainment will be furnished by the School of Journalism, the University, the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, and the Associated Students. A large number of rooms has been reserved at the local hotels. The fraternity houses are offering their hospitality to those editors who prefer to get an intimate glimpse of student life. Special arrangements are under way to make the convention period enjoyable and interesting to the ladies of the editorial party, and a very special invitation will go out to editors urging them to bring their wives and the other ladies of their families with them.

Among the subsidiary meetings planned to accompany the Conference are:

Oregon Newspaper Syndicate.

Daily Newspaper Association.

Associated Press Members.

United Press Clients.

Editorial Association Executive Committee.

Trade Journalism Section.

Advertising Men’s Section.

Professional Writers’ Section.

Reception for Women of Party.

Time will be allowed on the program for reports from several important committees appointed at previous Conferences and at Association meetings. Especially important will be the report of the legislative committee which will take this opportunity of lining up for future efforts. Some of the committees are:

Committee on Legislation—C. E. Ingalls, Corvallis Gazette-Times;; Hal Hoss, Oregon City Enterprise; E. A. Koen, Dallas Observer.
Committee on Standardization of Paper Sizes and Column Widths—Lee Drake, Astoria Budget; Ralph R. Cronise, Albany Democrat.
Committee on Policy Toward Agency Discount—A. E. Scott, Washington County News-Times; A. E. Frost, Benton County Courier.
Committee on Homer Davenport Memorial—John T. Hoblitt, Silverton Appeal.
