Wanted: Ambitious Writer To Prepare Script For Program
If so, and if you have an ambition to write, the extension divisor is looking for you.
Can you write so that the seven-year-old child can understand you?
An opportunity will be offered in October to write radio script for production over Station KFKU, Mildred Seaman, assistant program director of the station announced yesterday.
"We plan to present a program next fall for children in the upper elementary grades," Miss Seaman said, "and because our budget makes no allowance for writers, we will offer students the opportunity to gain experience in the field. This plan has been carried out at Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio, but we would also make it solely for experience—and at those schools there is a waiting list of writers."
Any student who wishes to apply for the position should see Miss Seeman shortly after the semester ends, or during the first few days of summer school. It is essential that the selection be made by the middle of the summer, the assistant director said, so that the writer may begin to prepare his work for the October program.
The children's program, she indicated, will be presented for practical aid of elementary schools throughout the state.
When writers apply for the experience work they will be given writing assignments as a test for the job.

How will dignified Donald Dixon of the department of speech and dramatic arts look in a Tyrelean hat? That's what his students would like to know. Mr. Dixon asks him, "Where where he intends to climb mountains and learn to yodel. It's a vocal assemblage.
He doesn't want to be asked whether the Algonkians eat fish or rabbit in the summertime. He does not want to give ten interviews on
Indian art in the northeast to breathe students in the fall. But, Prof. Loren E. Esley of the department of sociology intends to travel with Dr Frank G. Speck, authority on American aborigines, into the wilds of northern Canada to study little known Indian tribes.
