POST IS SUCCESS
— F—
Students Show Interest In
Colleges Journalistic
Project
The Post Edition of the Chron¬
icle was a complete success from
the circulation standpoint, accord¬
ing to David Brockton Brown, cir¬
culation manager. That P. J. C.
students evinced a marked interest
in the special edition which was
edited by local journalism students
is shown by the fact that practi¬
cally all the 2500 copies of Mon¬
day’s Post were distributed before
the beginning of second lunch per¬
iod on Tuesday. At the height of
the rush, just before first period,
about 300 copies were handed out
to eager readers in five minutes.
Also, about 220 copies were mailed
to the Chronicle’s many exchanges
all over the country; Canada,
Hawaii, the Philippine Islands, and
Alaska.
A specially picked group of the
Chronicle reporters comprised the
circulation board that distributed
the Post all day Tuesday. Those
in charge of distribution centers
were: Betty Anne Hazelhurst,
Pauline Sutton, Carolyn Porter,
Jack Stewart, Eleanor Levins, and
Allan Jaynes. Others who assisted
were: Charles Hightower, Winona
Wiley, and Joe Phifer.
