UNIVERSITY Wants
SMALL PRINT SHOP
Plant Is Desired to Aid in Teach.
ing Journalism; Fund to
Start Ready

Grand Forks. N. D.. Jan. 25.-N9-
Request that the North Dakota State
Press association indorse q proposal
to install q small printing plant at
the University Of North Dakota to
provide for the better education Of
journalism students was made at the
press convention here today by F. E.
Bump, r.. head Of the university
journalism department.
Most graduates of the journalism
school 60 into the weekly newspaper
field, Bump said. and 1t would be de-
sirable for them to have as . back
ground some knowledge Of the prob
lens peculiar to q Newspaper plant.
When q university graduate goes to
work In the country weekly field he
should have a knowledge Of ordinary
shop methods and practices which
viii enable him to work more smooth
~ and quickly into the work. Bump
said.
Many years ago, Bump explained.
the North Dakota chapter Of Sigma
Delta Chi, national professional mems
Journalistic fraternity, established =
fund with the idea that It would be
used. when it reached sufficient size,
to purchase . small printing plant
for 8 in printing the Dakota STU
dent, campus newspaper.
This fund now contains $4,000,
enough to cover . down payment and
installation costs Of . small printing
plant to cost between $500 and ~
900. The income from printing the
student newspaper would be sufficient
to take care Of future payments and
the salary Of . printer o. part-time
printer who would have charge Of tho
shop. Bump said.
He emphasized that no JOB printing
would be done In the plant and that
It would be used only for Institutional
purposes and to print the student
newspaper.

Stomach Trouble

LONDON. Feb. 22.-P9-The fifth
week OF the London naval confer
ence ended today with active ne
gotiations suspended on account Of
the French political crisis, but with
no dread Of failure in the minds Of
the delegates.
The head OF the American dele
cation, Colonel Henry L. Stimson.
has declared that the five-power
agreement TO humanize submarine
warfare in itself juStifies the Amer
ican mission to London.
Accomplishments Sound
The British delegation feels that
what has been done. while IL Is not
spectacular, is sound and hopeful
for the future of disarmament.
The patient japanese delegation
Is taking the weeks holiday as a
mere incident in the negotiations.
But as TO the degree Of that sue
cess, the consensus of the delega-
tons tonight was that it depended
on whether the new French cabi-
net organization by Camille Chau-
temps was strong enough to weather
the month or six weeks which still
may be necessary To attain the high
est aims Of the fiye-power delega-
tion5.
