495 (Internship) – you cannot enroll until you have an approved
internship and submit paperwork to Dr. Bridges. He has packets explaining
requirements. If you enroll without approval, you will be dropped.<o:p></o:p></p>

in news, public relations, or teaching should enroll in Journalism 260;
Journalism 336 may be taken if you are a junior or senior or have permission. <b>These

J336 (law). <b>J314 is only offered in the spring</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>

relations majors should take J328 if beginning in the sequence; in that way,
you will be eligible to move on to J329. If you have had J328 and/or J329, <b>you
may take J426, which is offered only in the spring term. This is the campaigns
class.<o:p></o:p></b></p>

with permission may take Journalism 350 (Visual Communication for News
Publications); this course will taught by Paul Bryan, University photographer
and will introduce print majors to visual concepts, video and convergence of
media outlets. <b>It is by permission only.</b> The class will be limited to
12 and will be controlled for enrollment. This would be a good elective
course, which can be counted toward your degree program, for <b>Texan</b> staffers

builds upon instruction in J115.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Three points: (1) Dr. Bridges is
the “official” adviser; see him with questions or potential
problems. Secondly, pre-registration helps everyone, so please do so online if
possible. Prior enrollment helps us monitor class sizes. Thirdly, I do know
now what will be offered in summer sessions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Last point: I anticipate a
newly-combined curriculum will go into effect for the fall term of 2011. While
not drastic in change, it might be advisable to complete current requirements
unless you wish to wait and go on the catalog for 2011-2012. Curriculum
changes are being proposed by the Department of Mass Media, Communication and
Theatre but all changes must go through all administrative channels before
implementation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>I am sorry this message is long,
but I cannot meet each class. Students have been taking advantage of prior
registration, and I hope that continues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Dr. Lamar W. Bridges, professor<o:p></o:p></p>
