Education: Foot Work
Ohio's progressive Antioch College believes that education is where you find it. Its students work at textbooks half the year, take jobs approved by the professors for the other half. Nelda Sloan, 18 and a student in journalism, got her Antioch-approved job as a $22-a-week copy boy on the Philadelphia Record, and joined the American Newspaper Guild. Ten days later the Guild struck the Record. Last week Freshman Nelda was in her sixth week on the picket line. Antioch assured her that her picketing would be counted toward her credits.
