The Dow Jones Newspaper Fund, Inc., editing intern residency has begun. Yesterday, 10 program participants arrived on campus. This program, at Temple since 1968, is in its 41st year under the direction of Dr. Edward Trayes. Participants this year come from different parts of the country. They have studied at Columbia University, Virginia Tech, Syracuse University, Hampton University, University of Missouri, University of Central Florida, University of North Carolina, Hofstra University and DePauw University. Partner news organizations where each intern will work full time for at least 10 weeks this summer are: The Associated Press (New York City offices), The Newark Star-Ledger, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Four interns each will be going to the Times and the Journal.

A stack of books similar to the one pictured above is placed in front of each intern the first day of the Temple editing residency. These books are put to good use by each participant. The Dow Jones Newspaper Fund, Inc., editing program is in its 41st year of operation. This is the 50th anniversary of the founding of DJNF.
