This marks the first time in seven years that the ECHO has won the highest award given by the ACP. Overall, the ECHO has copped the award four times; the others coming in 1955-56-57. In other years the ECHO has won “First Class Honor Ratings” except for last year when the newspaper dropped to “Second Class.” The Campus Echo In recognition of its merits is awarded All-Amertran Mxtmt Eating in the Seventieth National Netvspaj>er Critical Service of the Associated Collegiate Press at the University of Minnesota, School of Journalism, this Twentieth day of April, 1964.

In a letter to Ferguson and Hayes, President Samuel P. Massie presented background .information on the cafeteria’s relationship with the state and the students, then said: “It is apparent from the fore going discussion that the is suance of voucher tickets is not -Letter- (Continued from page 2) can be obtaineji by a college or university publication. There had been some criti cism of the newspaper staff by many students because of (1) lateness in circulation of the paper (2) out-spoken attitude of editor and (3) lack of coope ration between “Echo staff and student organizations.” On the other hand, the staff contends that the student body is apathetic, and unaware of the many problems that beset the pubUcation of The Campus Echo. The Echo staff has been unable to meet the bi-monthly deadline because few students volunteer their services as copy a readers, typists and reporters. As a result, most of the work done during the first semester was done by the editor and the advisor. With all of these things considered, one wonders how the “All-American” was obtain ed.” The answer apparently lies in the abilities of the editor and advisor. Though the papers were late last semester and few students participated in publishing, the paper, the fact remains that the “Campus Echo” for the first semester was the best we’ve had in six years.

In the meanwhile, the Cafeteria Director comments ‘that only on rare occasions do we have a problem seating un dergraduates. When this occurs, all facilities are open to them.’ Therefore, at this time, the pres ent arrangement remains. “The request for the exten sion of the breakfast hour from 6:30-8:30 A.M. is granted with the following stipulation: “The hot breakfast is served from 6:30-7:30 A.M. and the students enter through the door facing the bowl. For students who want to sleep late, or who do not have an 8 o’clock class, a breakfast consisting of pastries and coffee, or milk will be available from 7:30-8:30 A.M.

From May 6-27 the ex hibition will be at the Down town Gallery in Durham. Other NCC art majors who had work accepted for the ex hibition are L e o 1 a Young, Greensboro, a conte crayon drawing; James Newton, Mill ville, N. J., two ink drawings; John Mitchell, Smithfield, one piece of sculpture; and David Wiliams, Philadelphia, Pa., one ink drawing. Instructors in sculpture and drawing at NCC are Edward Wilson, chairman of the Depart ment of Art, and John Gordon, instructor of art. The annual competition, which is open to all art students in colleges and universities in North Carolina, was judged by Mrs. Adelyn Breeskin, director of the Washington Gallery of Modern Art, Washington, D. C. “The request for extention of the lunch hour is granted for the 11:00 A.M. beginning. (April 27, 1964). However, at this time it does not appear necessary for the 1:30 P.M. clos ing as most students are through by 1:00 P.M. Hence, the lunch eon hour is now from 11:00 A. M. to 1:15 P.M. “It is not practical to change the evening meal which now goes from 4:30-6:15 P.M. How ever, students will be permitted to smoke during this meal. It is not practical to grant smoking permission for the first two meals at this time.” The Congress accepted Dr. Massie’s grants unanimously. -Math-Science Day- (Continued from page 1) has the ability to change the pattern of things, even life it self. “We need more people who can do research and develop ment,” he continued. “The sci entist traditionally worked alone, unknown by the society about him. This has changed. Beginning about the turn of the century, industry and gov ernment began to use the know ledge and formulations of sci entists in the promotion of mechanical and engineering en terprises. This has increased from decade to decade.” In commenting on the re quirements for national growth and progress, he said, “The key is manpower—qualified trained people. There is no substitute for training. The future of any country,” he stated, “will de pend upon the degree to which research and scientific develop ment can be carried on.” Dr. C. Elwood Boulware, pro fessor of mathematics at NCC, presided at the event. The bi-weekly or twice monthly Echo received the mini mum 34,000 points to be classed “All-American”, and was con sidered, “Outstanding” in almost every respect,” by judge R.E. Kobak. The judge said further that the Echo was,, “A sound, work manlike job by an extremely capable talented staff.” He finally urged the staff to, “Keep up the good work.” ACP Critical Service judges are professional newspaper men and women and persons with ex tensive backgrounds in publica tions work.

The rating the Echo received is intended to show how it com pares with other papers in its own classification throughout the nation. ACP has certain basic stand ards for coverage, writing and physical properties which must be met to earn honors. The Echo received 710 points for coverage. The breakdown was: 160, very good, for news sources; 200, excellent, for balance; 180, between very good and ex cellent, for treatment of copy; and 170, between very good and excellent, for creativeness. This paper receive 1,340 points for content. The breakdown: 200, excellent, for news stories. Judge Kobak commented, “Out standing work!” 150, excellent, for style; 170, between very good and ex cellent, for leads; 120, very good, for features; 140, between very good and ex cellent, for copyreading; 180, between very good and excellent, for editorials; 110, between good and very good, for editorial page features; 120, very good, for sports cover age; and 150, excellent, for sports writ ing. In physical properties, the Echo received 1,350 points; 200, excellent, for front page make-up. “Dec. 6 — Excellent in every respect,” said judge Ko bak. 100, excellent, for nameplate, running head, and masthead; 150, excellent, for editorial page make-up; 150, excellent, for sports display; 150, excellent, for inside news pages; 180, between very good and ex cellent, for headlines; 150, excellent, for headline sche dule; 80, very good, for typography; 90, between very good and ex cellent, for printing; and 100, excellent, for pictures and captions. The 3,400 points were enough to win the “All-American Rat ing” for the Echo. This rating represents a “Superior” rating and is reserved for the top publications. First Class honor rating is comparable to “Excellent”, and First Class publications may be justly proud of their achieve ment. Second Class honor rating is given the majority of entries in the ACV Critical Service, which have been judged a “Good” to “Very Good” and indicates to that those newspapers are doing a good job in a workmanlike manner. Third Class honor rating re presents “Fair” to “Good” publi cations, with some major weak nesses evident. No honor rating is given to Fourth Class publica tions.
