The students, mostly photo­ journalism majors, spent the weekend shooting swries and de­ veloping almost 200 ro ll s of film . Most of the srories would later be turned into photojournalism class £or one-third of their grade. The stories ranged f~m local fame rs to the owner of a one-chair barbershop. The photos were developed in a makeshift phow lab in the basemem of rhe Clay County Health Agency. The purpose of the weekend was w simulate rhe real world and give the students a chance to shoot an assignment under deadline pressure. Participants were given three days to shoot theirstories. Six facul ty members provided help and criticism of the students' nones.
