RICHARD PARSONS This year issues were published regularly, the writing and make-up were far above parg advertising had a banner yearg circulation was co-ordinated for tl1e first time, and the caliber of the publication as a whole was much improved. With the opening of school in the fall, a special issue welcomed the students. Once scl1ool got underway, the staff was supplemented by an unusually. large group of fresh- men. A long-range plan to build an efficient, well co-ordinated staff by adding new members each year and training them more carefully was adopted. The second semester the advertising income hit a new high, when more than double the amount asked for by the Student Council was turned in. A special issue, published in May, contained several extra pages and a rotogravure section, it was circulated among 3,000 present and prospective students, alumni and friends of the college. During the year this organization sponsored a high school debate tournament, con- tacted other State Teachers College newspapers, and laid plans for a Teachers College Journalists, convention here next fall. 29

Kappa Delta Pi, the national honorary educational fraternity, is represented on campus by Delt.a Sigma Chapter. The objective this year in all the local chapter's activities was to make our College scholarship-minded. Since Kappa Delta Pi is comparatively new 011 our campus-the former Education Club having been nationally afiiliated only since 1938-the members have been striving to make the club meaningful and better known. This was accomplished in part by the initiation of twelve new members early in the year. The fra'ternity sponsored National Educa- tion Week on our campus with a chapel program in keeping with the observance of the Century of Public Teacher Education. Delta Sigma Chapter was represented this year at the National Kappa Delta Pi Con- vention at St. Louis in February by Dorothy Heller.. Presidentm ,,..., .Y.i...
