The 40s is over and done with, so I will continue into the slightly more optimistic 50s. I notice that after four years in the press, Tuntreet’s childhood diseases have been cured, and the 50s did in many ways become a middle phase for the paper. People saw a brighter future after the war ended, but the political involvement hadn’t yet reached fanaticism as it did in the 70s. As Lars Raaen said: “The students were involved in politics, but weren’t as “rebellious” as the generations to come.”
housewife’s education should look like. “A male only having exams from high-school would have inferiority complexes if he picked an academician as life companion”, is one of the statements. Another rumbles “Education... what a nonsense.”
A paper for students and the college A lot of the content is tightly related to the College, not only relative to the contributors, but also the college’s content. In the third edition from 1950, it was suggested to split every year into trimesters of 12 weeks. Today’s block system has its main focus on the parallel, but it is nevertheless divided in three (January, spring and June), and it is exciting to see that today’s ideas at NMBU was discussed already back then.
As in the previous decade, I also here notice a few positive posts strongly similar to those in today’s editions. As an example, “the first hepatica nobilis of the year” is the reflection of “the last dandelion of the year”. Who would believe that seven decades separate them? Despite these funny and interesting posts, there is one thing that can be said for certain; these old editions are more similar Holtestaul, an involved student, and SiÅs’s to ordinary papers compared to today’s first director who told me that everyone editions. read Tuntreet in the 50s. He studied between 1956 and 1959, but subscribed to How was this done in practice? the paper for many years succeeding 1959. To expand my knowledge, I called Halvor At the time, Tuntreet could be perceived as Samfunnet’s newspaper for members, and was included in the membership without further cost. This decision was made by the House and Finance Board March 17. of 1950. Tuntreet was both delivered to the mailboxes belonging to members of Samfunnet, and other non-members with subscription. In many ways this made the paper work as a public forum for everyone with an affiliation (especially) to Samfunnet, but also NLH.
In the same edition, you will find the answer from a group of students to what the ideal
Society portraits, and the voluntary work at Samfunnet and UKA is also given a lot of coverage in the paper. It could be interviews, poems, posts from readers, and a lot of other formats. Preferably with a caricature of the author.
The editorial staff consisted of six to eight journalists, and was, as now, guided by an editor chosen by the general assembly. The editor was the one who employed the editorial staff. From 1949 an editor secretary joined the group. This was a position with a large variety of tasks, as 42 Edition 02 Volume 76
