All-American Rate
Earned by Courier
The Courier staff was jubilant last week after receiving1
word from the Associated Collegiate Press Association of the
University of Minnesota that last semester’s paper had received
from them a rating of All-American. College papers are rated
each semester by the critical serv¬
ice to determine their standing
with other newspapers of the
same size and distribution. The
Courier came off with top honors,
All-American being the highest
rating a paper can receive from
the service.
Judges for the survey were men
who have held prominent posi¬
tions in the journalistic world.
Among them were the editor of
the Minneapolis Tribune, former
editor of the Minnesota Daily, and
numerous reporters for Minne¬
sota papers.
The paper received its highest
ratings on news coverage, bal¬
ance, creativeness, editorial page
features, sports coverage, front
and inside page make-up, sports
page make-up and editing, heads,
printing and photography. The
judge noted in the score book
that as a whole the paper was
“doing a good job in almost every
department.”
Editors for the award winning
Courier were Priscilla Rockwell,
executive editor; Bobbe Noroian,
managing editor; Ann Glanville,
feature editor; and Jerry Mega-
han, sports editor.

Orators Review .
Safety in Schools
Final judging for the annual
Robinson Speech Tournament at
Pasadena City College is slated
to be held next Monday afternoon
at 3 p.m. in Harbeson Hall. The
public speaking contest is on the
subject “Safety in the Schools”
and is open to any ASB member.

ulty adviser for thfe contest. He
has announced that the speeches
will be judged according to or¬
ganization, presentation and or¬
iginality of thought. Entrants will
deliver speeches on the general
subject of safety in student life
but will take individual stands on
the problem.
Each year Mr. and Mrs. P. B.
Robinson and family sponsor this
safety contest in honor of their
son who was killed accidentally on
the school grounds of PCC sever¬
al years ago. Through the con¬
test, the Robinsons hope to call
attention to any conditions on
campus, or, in fact, any place in
the community, where accidents
could occur. Students are given
an opportunity to locate these ac¬
cident-prone spots and suggest
new ways to improve the situa¬
tions they find.
Each speech to be given will be
from five to six minutes long. En¬
trants may use notes if they do
not distract from the speaker’s
talk. Delivery will be in a conver¬
sational manner, simple, direct
and sincere.
