I was one of the lucky ones!

By SUSAN BENNETT Normally, leaving college for your first job is scary. But I had one comforting thought. I’d be working in a familiar county, Kosciusko, where I’ve spent many summers. And, I was one of the lucky ones, I had a job. Other graduates of journalism schools didn’t. But I wasn’t picky, I took the first job offered, as a reporter for The Papers Incorporated in Milford. My main objective had been to find a job that wouldn’t bore me. This sounded like I wouldn't get bored. I wouldn’t have the time. For sure, I was scared. I mean. I might not measure up, I could be fired. This was the big time, the real world, not a school publication. My main concern was to spell everyone's name correctly and pray my pictures developed well. Lesson number one: batting 1,000 in either department is impossible, but expected. After one year of doing what I do, I’m still not bored and I mow a lot of people I wouldn't know otherwise. The other day, I tallied up some of the more unusual things I’ve done in the line of duty. I’ve flown with the air force, posed as a tourist to get inside information on a religious group, rode a crop chopper and dump truck, been tested for diabetes and ended up in the middle of some football plays. But you know what the best part of the whole deal is? Meeting all kinds of people in all kinds of situations. Some you get to know really well, feel they’re friends, others you don’t. And sometimes you wish you didn’t have a job to do. Like when you cover a barn fire and the owner, a grown man has tears streaming down his face. Or when you’re at an auto accident, a fatal one. Or when a fireman, overcome, suddenly falls in front of you. The human being in you emerges, but you push it back, take your pictures and ask your

questions like a robot. It’s the only way to survive that moment. That’s what the first year has been like, a few bad times and a lot of good. The beginning of the second year seems to be the same. I wouldn’t have it any other way. PSC requests consumer input The Public Service Commission of Indiana is requesting input from consumer groups, telephone utilities and customers in regard to suggestions for revisions to the current rules and regulations which govern the standards of practice of telephone utilities in the state of Indiana. For the purpose of organization, setting guidelines and receiving input, the public service commission is scheduling a public pre-hearing conference to be held on November 23 at 9:30 am., EST, in room 907 of the state office building, Indianapolis.
