To gain new ideas and compare notes with other schools, the staff members attended the Catholic Publications Conference at Fordham University on November l.

The convention ended with a luncheon at the Americana Hotel and an address by Vice-Pres- ident Hubert Humphrey via a White House line. During the year CHIPS has received the Gallup Award from Quill and Scroll, as well as the All- Catholic Award from the Catholic Scholastic Press Association.
