Journalist Should Consider Work as Calling--Hossain
Women as Interviewers Asl Better Questions Than Men Is Indian's Experience
"Your pen must not be for sale, for the journalist is the interpreter of one group to another," said Syud Hossain, the noted Indian journalist, in speaking to the journalism students yesterday afternoon. "The journalists have a session as a calling, and not merely a means of livelihood."
Mr. Hossain emphasized that the journalist's material is language, and he must learn to master this medium in order to be successful. To get the best foundation for our language one must go down to the literature of the language, and Hossain devised a set of words to help him get their knowledge from "best sellers" and newspapers, instead of the classics.
Should Know Poets and Critics
"A minimum of classical literature must be the foundation of any more education," said Mr. Hossain. "One must know some of the best poets before he can appraise literature."
In taking an interview, Mr. Hosain said it was necessary to know something about the man's background that you are going to need in order to understand him intelligently, questions, Mr. Hosain said that in his personal experience with reporters he had found that the level of intelligence shown by women's questi was much higher than that of men, and the men were usually hardy, and let their tongue into their brains talk.
Hindu Not Indian
In answering questions of his audience Mr. Hosain explained that the term Hindu is not equivalent to Indian, but means an adherent of one of the leading religions there; the other being the Mohammedan faith. He said that the people of India are generally usually peaceful toward another living as neighbors together for centuries.
"In India there are no segregated districts, and contrary to the common belief of most Americans they have almost peaceful," and Mr. Hossain.

"Flunk Insurance"
Chosen by Judges
for Seniors' Play
Comedy by Sue Moody Hall Local Setting and College Atmosphere
"Flunk Insurance," a three act comedy, written by Sue Moody, has been selected as the play to be given this year by the senior class. The play, written by a senior, will be danced by the senior, and will be acted by seniors.
The play was selected because of the fact that it has a more or less local type of setting and deals with culture life. The comedy element is in the dialogue, but judges. The judges, however, felt that the other plays submitted were exceptionally good in literary value and in dramatic and mechanical construction but that they would probably appeal to an audience as well as the play selected.
The story deals with a senior in college, a journalist, who is in danger of not getting his degree because of a combination of bad grades and being in love. His father interviews the Dean and after consultation offers the boy a number of gads矿es in South America if he will work and get his degree. The journalist takes his buddies, a lawyer, a medecine practitioner, and a correction. The play is full of complications, and the many conical situations in it show how the young hero insures himself against flunking.
Tryouts will be held the litter nart of the week. Only seniors are eligible to try out.
The play is to be directed by Margaret Larkin, who has had considerable experience in dramatics and in coaching plays.

Cards Must Be Signed
Foster Urges Students to Fill Out Blue Records
"The blue cards at the registrar's office should be filled out immediately if the students expect, to get their grades at the end of the semester this spring," said George O. Foster, registrar, today.
"While there are a great many cards being filled out, about half of the students have not yet filled them out."
The registrar and other members of the faculty thought it would be much better to have the students fill out the blue grade cards, than to have them filled out in the classrooms as was done last semester. It caused much confusion then, and I made sure that because students did not know the numbers of their classrooms, number of the courses, and so forth. Students coming to the office may find themselves in the 'Schedule of Classes'.
Mr. Foster urges all students who have procrastinated in filling out these blue cards for recording and sending out of grades, to do so at once. "They should have been in before," he said.
