'Clayton to Head
Journalism School
In Hong Kong
CARBONDALE, Ill.
, The first School of Journalism
land Mass Communication Center
?
is now established in the British t
, Crown Colony at the Chinese
? University of Hong Kong.
Headed by Charles C. Clayton,
professor of jourr'rariFm oine-a-ve
from Southern Illinois Univer-
? i the---schoor has
lanfiChed four research projects
and a program of in-service
training for Hong Kong news-
paper workers.
"This feat is some kind of
record, for as of last August all
that existed was the idea and a
grant from the Asia Foundation
to underwrite the first two years
of the school," Mr. Clayton said.
When the school opened in the
fall, the University decided to t
limit enrollment for journalism
I majors for the first year. About
, 150 students who expressed in-
terest had been given written
examinations. After individual
interviews with the top 20 stu-
dents from the written examina-
tions, six majors were selected
I and three other students per- ,
? mitted to register for journalism
courses as their minor.
Under the British system, '
there can be no more than one
professor for a school or depart-
ment. Other members of the staff
? hold titles of lecturer, and
reader. Mr. Clayton, who ac-
cepted an appointment as visit-
ing professor to start the school,
will stay there for one year.
A graduate of the School of
Journalism at the University of
Missouri, Mr. Clayton served as
assistant to the publisher, edi-
torial writer and city editor at
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat for
30 years.
