Courier Earns Cal Poly Award
as 'Best Junior College Paper’
Only Hutton Avoids
Major Catastrophe
Confusion took the lead in the ASB presidential race last
week when candidate Mike Gallagher lost his nominating pe¬

Jim Scavetta withdrew from the race at the last minute —
The Courier overwhelmed all
Southern California competition
at Saturday’s Cal Poly-Pomona
Press Day to win a first place
trophy as “Best Junior College
Newspaper.”
Professional editors from three
Southland newspapers unani¬
mously rated the Courier “supe¬
rior” in news, features, and pho¬
tography categories and awarded
next best “excellent” ratings in
sports, page make-up, and head¬
lines. They evaluated three con¬
secutive editions of the Courier:
Editors Compete
The Courier will enter two
stories in a USC writing- con¬
test this week. Executive Editor
Lee Nichols and Feature Edi¬
tor Dick Trubo wrote news and
sports stories, respectively, at
the May 9 USC Newspaper
Day. They were eligible for
judging only after being print¬
ed in the Courier.
March 18, April 7, and April 15.
THE JUDGES praised the Cour¬
ier’s April 15 feature page on
the American Federation of
Teachers, and commended edito¬
rials on off-campus issues. “The
Courier appears to dive into all
stories,” said one, “and print them
as a newspaper should.”
The first-place plaque and per¬
petual trophy were accepted by
Executive Editor Lee Nichols,
Feature Editor Dick Trubo, and
Sports Editor Bob Corse, on be¬
half of the staff.
This top prize ranked the Cour¬
ier ahead of the second-place Los
Angeles Valley College Star, a
paper rated “All-American” by
the Intercollegiate Press Associa¬
tion.
OTHER competitors included
the Orange Coast Barnacle, third
place winner; San Bernardino
Valley Warhoop, last year’s top
paper; Citrus Owl; Los Angeles
Metropolitan Metronome; and Mt.
San Antonio Mountaineer. Forty-
two high schools vied in a sepa¬
rate contest.
Comments by judges on their
tally sheets lauded the Courier for
its “splendid mixture of campus-
oriented stories”; “superior pho¬
tos”; “broad and competent” news
coverage; and “very readable”
page one.
“A paper that has good make¬
up below the fold is usually in a
class by itself,” noted one news¬
man. “This applies to the Cour¬
ier.”
SUGGESTIONS for improve¬
ment included regular use of a
sports page feature column, and
better separation of photos from
unrelated stories.
Another judge was impressed
with Courier headlines. “They
match the quality of the rest of
the paper,” he commented. “Just
enough variety to make the Cour¬
ier a joy to read.”

Wednesday afternoon. Reliable
sources reported “irregularities”
on his papers, but Elections Com¬
missioner Merrilee Harter and
other ASB officers declined offi¬
cial comment on Scavetta’s with¬
drawal.
“My petition contained suffi¬
cient signatures,” Scavetta told
the Courier. “I withdrew because
of a change in my education plans
which could mean that I won’t be
attending PCC in September.”
Scavetta explained that he fa¬
vored Gallagher “because of his
service to the college.” Gallagher
had no comment.

State Code Requires Tuition
from Non -California Lancers
Non-resident students attending Pasadena City College
must pay a tuition fee beginning with the 1964 summer ses¬
sion in June. Education Code Sections 25505 and 25505.5, as
amended by the 1963 state legislature, require that tuition be
charged students who are not res¬
idents of California and who at¬
tend public junior colleges with¬
in the state.
The State Board of Education
annually determines the fee to
be charged, and has set the 1964-
65 fee at $306 for a full-time pro¬
gram.
“According to State Senate Bill
647, $10.20 per unit will be
charged non-resident students up
to 15 units,” said Admissions
Dean John Weldon. “After that
a standard fee of $153 is required
for a full semester program.”
A few exceptions to the new
law concern foreign students in
particular. They will not be sub¬
ject to payment of the non-resi¬
dent fee. Also students under 21
whose parents have determined
residence for the past year are
exempt.
Junior college non-resident fees
are due and payable prior to com¬
pletion of programming at the
College Bank based upon the num¬
ber of units certified by the stu¬
dent’s counselor.

ing newsman of KTLA-TV, will be

nalists and their advisers are ex¬
pected to be in attendance, ac¬
cording to Publications Commis¬
sioner Dick Trubo, coordinator of

from journalists from local metro¬
politan newspapers.
Bud Furillo, executive sports
editor of the Los Angeles Herald-
Examiner, will speak on “Sports
Coverage” at 3:30 p.m. in 104D.
Furillo’s lively column in the
Herald-Examiner sports pages it

ture writer for the Los Angeles
Times, will discuss “News Cover¬

answer sessions at the conclusion
of their speeches.
A favorite of local viewers,
Stout gained his reputation as one
of television’s finest reporters in
the competitive Los Angeles news
scene through accurate and fac¬
tual reporting. His calm and hon¬
est approach to the news has en¬
abled him to delve into several
controversial areas.
The colorful and thought-pro¬
voking news analyst has received
numerous awards, including the
Sylvania Award, a First Award of
the Associated Press, and four
Golden Mike Awards.
