Paper Receives
Press Award
A second place rating was
awarded the CLARION, news
paper recently by the Associat
ed Collegiate Press at the Uni
versity of Minnesota in the
81st All American Critical Ser
vice. Approximately 600 news
papers from throughout the
United States were evaluated.
The Clarion fell 65 points
short of a first place rating.
Newspapers published from
January through May were
judged on coverage and con
tent, writing and editing, edi
torial leadership, physical ' ap
pearance and photography.
Marks of Distinction for super
ior achievement may be award
ed in each of the five categories
and a paper must receive at
least four such credits to be
rated All American.
Ratings of First Class (ex
cellent); Second Class (very
good), and Third Class (good)
are given on the basis of total
numerical scores achieved in
the five classifications. The
Clarion totaled 3235 points.
“Competition for top ratings
is tougher each year,” Otto W.
Quale, ACP executive director
stated. “College editors, writers
and photographers of today
grew up in a whole new world
of mass communications and
their newspapers reflect this
sophistication. There is more
in-depth reporting and signifi
cant editorial content than was
apparent five years ago.
“It is a responsible press
challenged by great insight to
the problems and progress that
®Ee a part of their lives today,”
Quale added.

will be located across the road
from the present Green Dorm

building will have a student
lounge for the students, a danc
ing room and restrooms. Also

and drycleaning room, office
space, storage rooms and a Tor
nado Room. Rounding out the
bottom floor will be a Post Of
fice that will be accessible at
all hours, a College book store
and a grill.
The second floor lo the new
building will include many ad

he felt that both he and his op
ponent would do a good job.
“If elected,” he stated, “I would
like to see a more definite ex
planation given to the students
as to why they are being sum
moned to the board. I feel it
only fair that they should have
a chance to defend themselves,
and only when they know what
they have done wrong can this
be accomplished.

sophomores outvoted the fresh
men bv a large majority. Ap
proximately 70 per cent of the
sophomores voted while only 40
per cent of the freshmen class

“Along these same lines I
would hope that in the future
the Board will publish its views
on the rules of the college, thus
clarifying the student’s idea of
What is right and what is wrong
and helping the student to know
where he stands as an individ
ual.”
Rick Hoffman stated that he
has come to realize that the
Judicial Board plays an import
ant part in the welfare of Bre
vard College students. He stat
ed, “I believe there are several
qualifications which a Judicial
Board member should possess.”
He must be able to give of his
time and effort, at all times be
ing able to communicate with
others. Also, he should know
the difference between right
and wrong.
“Finally,” he added, “the rep
resentative should be a group
worker, able to communicate
with others in any situation. I
believe that I possess these
qualifications and will do the
job to the best of my ability.”
