Two Wavs
With a lead of four points, the
Freshman class ranks first in editing
I HE Queexs Blues contest issue for
the year. With a lead of four points,
the Sophomore class ranks first in
business management of its issue.
The pajiers are judged on the basis
of editorial qualities, journalistic
technique, and advertising manage
ment. From the standpoint of edi
torial qualities, linicline.ss, quality
and extent of interest of the articles,
structure and style of writing, make
up, features, headlines, editorials, and
the functional purpose of a newspaper
are considered. One other phase of
editing, that of proof reading, was
not iqcluded in the final score this
year. Due to accidental complica
tions connected with both the Fresh
man and the Sophomore issues, the
judges could not consider this from
a competitive point of view.
The business management of the
issue is judged on the basis of com
parative financial returns, and num
ber of new ads obtained for the issue,
the business report itself, and the
comparative profits made.
The two contest issues each year
are put out by Freshman and Sopho
more staffs elected and ajipointed from
their respective classes to take charge
of the contest issues only. No fac
ulty supervision or assistance is given
to either staff.
The judges were Dr. Stout, Dr.
Delano, Miss Denny.
