Shea Awarded
TNF Internship

Peter Shea, a News Editor of The
Cavalier Daily, has been named a winner
of a newspaper internship for the coming
summer.

The internship program is run by The
Newspaper Fund, a foundation which
encourages careers in newspaper
journalism. The foundation is sponsored
by Dow Jones and Company, publisher of
The Wall Street Journal, The National
Observer, and Barron's National Business
and Financial Weekly.

Mr. Shea is the fourteenth staff
member of The Cavalier Daily to be
chosen as an intern since the internship
program was originated in 1960. As of last year,
the University ranked eighth on the list of
colleges who have produced the most interns.

Those schools which have had more interns
are, in order, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell,
Columbia, the University of California
(Riverside) and Dartmouth.

The program offers college juniors who
work on their school papers a scholarship and
aid in finding a summer job to encourage them
to start a career in journalism. The internships
are divided into two categories, reporting and
editing and each of the winners must work for a
newspaper for the following summer to be
eligible for the scholarship.

Mr. Shea, a third-yearman from Rye. New
York, was one of 43 persons names as a winner
of a reporting internship.

The Newspaper Fund, along with the
reporting and editing internships, also sponsors
summer workshops for high school journalism
teachers and publications advisers to try to
develop an interest in journalism in students.
