[00:00.00]Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and the faculty adviser of the campus newspaper.[00:08.06]MALE STUDENT: Hi, I talked to someone on the phone a couple weeks ago⋯ [00:12.75] Anna, I think it was?[00:14.26]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: I'm Anna, the faculty adviser.[00:15.91]MALE STUDENT: Oh, great. I'm Peter Murphy. [00:17.92]You probably don't remember me, but⋯[00:19.70]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: No, no, I remember you. [00:21.32]You were interested in working for the paper⋯.[00:23.20]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, as a reporter.
[00:24.56]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: That's right. Uh, you're taking a journalism class, and you've done some reporting before, in high school, right⋯?[00:30.73]MALE STUDENT: Wow! You have a good memory.[00:32.57]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Well, we haven't had many students applying lately. [00:35.45]So⋯ so, anyway, you still want to do some reporting for us?
[00:39.00]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, if you have room for me on the staff.
[00:40.93]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Well, we always need more reporters. But you know we don't pay anything, right?[00:45.27]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, I know, [00:46.29]but I, uh, I'd like the experience; [00:48.72]it would look good on my resume⋯.[00:50.34]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Absolutely. Let's see⋯ [00:52.21]I think I told you that we ask prospective reporters to turn in some outlines for possible articles.[00:58.36]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, I sent them in about a week ago, [01:00.58]but I haven't heard anything back yet, so⋯ so I thought I’d stop by and see⋯ but I guess you haven't looked at them yet.[01:06.18]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Oh, Max—the news editor—he looks at all the submissions⋯
[01:09.69]MALE STUDENT: Oh, so he hasn't made any decision about me yet?[01:12.36]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Well, I just got here a few minutes ago⋯I haven't been in for a couple of days. [01:16.80]Uh, just give me a second to check my e-mail⋯ .[01:19.99]Ah, here’s a message from Max⋯ Let's see⋯ [01:24.32]Well, it seems you’ve really impressed him. [01:26.83]He says it’d be wonderful if you could join our staff.[01:29.91]MALE STUDENT: Oh, great! When can I start?[01:32.54]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Well⋯You turned in an outline on something to do with the physics department?[01:37.05]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, they're trying to come up with ways to get more students to take their introductory courses.[01:41.75]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Right⋯ Well, apparently, nobody else is covering that story⋯ so he wants you to follow up on it.[01:48.49]MALE STUDENT: OK. Uh, what about the other outline I sent in? [01:51.99]About the proposed increase in tuition fees?[01:54.42]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Oh, it looks like we've got that covered.[01:56.92]MALE STUDENT: So I’m starting with an article about the physics department. [01:59.95]I guess I'd better get to work. [02:01.68]Do you have any advice on how I should cover the story?[02:04.21]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Well, Max'll want to talk to you, but I'm sure he'll tell you to find out things like why the physics department’s worried about enrollment. [02:11.94]Has the number of students been getting smaller in recent years? [02:15.55]By how much? [02:16.59]What kinds of plans are they considering to address this problem?[02:19.68]MALE STUDENT: Right. Some of those issues are already in what I proposed.[02:23.52]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: And you'll want to do some interviews⋯ you know, what do the professors think of the plans? What do the students think? [02:29.96]You get the idea, but⋯[02:31.33]MALE STUDENT: But wait till I talk to Max before proceeding.[02:33.76]FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR: Right. He'll cover everything you need to know to be a reporter for us. [02:37.36]Can you come back this afternoon? [02:39.09]He'll be here until five o’clock.
