NCC Paper Earns
'Superior' Mark
The Campus Ech», NCC stu
dent publication, received an
“All American” honor rating by
the Associated Collegiate press,
national rating association witl^
headquarters at the University
of Minnesota. This is the high
est rating a college paper can

The top intercollegiate news

the ACP includes among its

ing colleges and imiversities. It
sponsors a semi-annual critical
service which rates college
newspapers “All American,”

prescribed standards of excel
lence.
The Echo was cited for its
achievements during the second
quarter of the 1955-56 school
year when it was edited by
Shirley T. James, a senior from
Jamesville. The paper received
“First Class” honors during the
first semester under Miss;
James’ leadership, a rating
which it had received three
times previously.
The Echo received “superior”
distinction in its use of news
sources, treatment of news,
sports coverage, sports display
and editorials. The reviewer
said news sources were “ex
tremely well tapped...and newsi
style is factual, colorful, and
complete.” Concerning editori
als, the reviewer declared Cam
pus Echo editorials for last se
mester “well written, current,
and to the point.”

ceived special attention were

“engrossing theatre.”
Much of the material to be seen
in this production has never been

conference' record, the Eagles
are favored over the Aggies
whose relative poor showing
this year has kept them in the
second division. The Aggies
come to Durham today for the
26th renewal of their annual
Thanksgiving Day Classic with
the Eagles.
Although the Aggies invade
Eagleland as underdogs today,
veteran observers predict the
“scrap of the season” which is
the order of the day when these
two ancient rivals meet. As in
the past, season records have lit

usually rate “a toss-up^ . but

back their traditional rivals. But
a possible CIAA championship is
riding on the pvmch of the unde
feated Riddickmen. They are
running neck-and-neck with
Delaware and Morgan State, but
both of these have played scant
first division competition.
The Eagles know, however
that a win over A. and T. to
day is a must for them. A de
feat would drop them out of
the running.
The Aggies lead in the series
with IZ wins, 10 losses, and
three games have ended in ties.
The game played in Greens
boro last Thanksgiving ended in
a 7-7 deadlock, one of the three
ties of the series. The fans saw
Herman Riddick’s Eagle switch
into a single-wing formation to
fight the Aggies on even terms.
