Change can be a frightening thing. Whether it is good or bad change, it is extremely hard to alter our normal behavior. It is especially quite challenging when it comes to making changes in our everyday eating and working out regimes. Many of us feel as though it’s impossible–– “it’s too hard, it doesn’t work, there’s not enough time, I JUST CAN’T DO IT!” The excuses are endless. Although it may sound cliche, anything is possible, but like stated in the previous issue, nothing works over night. Everything takes time.

In early October, graduating journalism majors received a jolt of fear as they found out a required class would be canceled for their final semester.
Journalism 56, and Broadcasting 54 normally ran on Wednesdays in the spring semester. The Producing the TV Newscast course took up two class periods and went from 12:30-6:10 p.m. The first half of the class was devoted to developing new story ideas, and critiquing work from previous weeks. Students then went out and shot the stories in pairs, one being in charge of the camera, the other being the reporter. After the footage was recorded, students edited and produced news packages much like those you see on television.
