W. F. Shaw, English professor on part-time lend lease to the journalism department, was amazed the first day of school to see Paul Sawyer. a fellow staff member whom he had met at the faculty meeting the evening before, stroll into his empty classroom where advanced news and ’«porting was scheduled to meet.

When no other students appeared Mr. Shaw and Mr. Sawyer agreed to move their meeting-place to Mr. Sawyer's office, which boasts a typewriter and several comfortable chairs. Mr. Shaw, a cigarette draped from his mouth, his feet perched on his desk, his rhsir propped sgsinst the wall, gives his assignments to Student Sawyer who sits before the typewriter and pounds them out. Concentrating on local media, their first story was published in the Miami Herald one Sunday and they
