J-School foreign program at standstill, says director
The international communications program in the School of Journalism is moving about as fast as it was two years ago--it's still in the planning stages.
"I just haven't done anything," said the program's director, J. Laurence Day, assistant professor of journalism.
At the request of Warren K. Agee, dean of the Journalism School, Day last Thursday submitted tentative plans for the international communications program to the journalism faculty.
The program would provide a year-long internship on a foreign newspaper for a student in the School's news-editorial sequence. The School catalog lists programs in Latin American studies and East Asian area studies, but so far only one internship—in Brazil—has been established.
Last fall, John Montgomery of Junction City. owner of the English-language Brazil Herald in Rio de Janeiro, agreed to hire an eligible intern in the Journalism School's program, Day said.
Even this internship is still shaky, as academic credit for it and the travel expense to Brazil must be worked out for it to continue.
Apparently one reason for the program's slow start is that few people are aware of its existence.

Paratrooper monkeyed
FORT KOBBE, C.Z. — (UPI)
The jumpmaster barked "one minute to go" and everyone's stomach tightened but Fyt. Peepe. He was fast asleep aboard the C-120 Hercules during the pre-jump flight.
Sgt. Donald B. Hollis, aircraft safety officer, shook Pepe awake, inspected his parachute and rig and lined him up in 13th position for the next drop—Pepe's first.
When all of the men were safe on the ground and counted, Pvt. Pepe was not there.
A search party was organized to scan the drop zone. Tepe was found dangling from his 68-inch canopy, waiting for someone to free him.
Pepe is a one-year-old white-faced spider monkey, the company mascot. For making the drop, he was promoted to PFC

for international programs, had never heard of it until a week ago.
Administrators of the KU Latin-American studies program also were unaware of the internship until just recently.
"The School of Journalism hasn't given the plan any support or advertised its existence," commented a foreign studies administrator who said he didn't want to start a feud with the School.
Rockefeller hesitates?
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Nelson A. Rockefeller commanded the support of Republican moderates and a key Goldwater conservative Sunday for a fight to wrest the GOP nomination from Richard M. Nixon—but hesitated on the brink of announcing his formal candidacy.
Thirty-two top level GOP leaders and strategists, summoned by Rockefeller to a meeting in his Fifth Avenue apartment, declared their "very strong and serious feeling" that Rockefeller should be the Republican candidate against President Johnson this November.
But they said Rockefeller would "consult with other party leaders throughout the country in the days ahead" before making a final decision. A spokesman for the New York governor said he would have no comment on the summit strategy meeting before Monday.
