Newspaper Production Hornet Editor hip Sears (above) reads page proofs to rneet the final Thursday deadline. Each Monday the staff meets (below) for a critique of the past issue and ideation session with Advisor Lewis Barrett to plan copy. A campus newspaper is a gauge of the pulse of the school. No less is true of Fullerton Junior Col- lege ' s Hornet which hits the newsstands every Friday. Produced by the Journalism Department, the Hornet offers students of journalism an opportunity to learn while performing a vital campus role. That is the gathering and reporting of news of interest to FJC students concerning their campus. As evidenced this year, the Hornet can also serve as an effective tool for arousing student opinion. During the air conditioning contro- versy, Kip Sears, Hornet editor-in-chief, con- ducted a prize-winning editorial campaign on the matter. In the end the proposed plan to use $35,000 of student funds for air conditioning went down to a resounding defeat in the referendum vote. The Hornet covers all angles of campus life. On its front page can be seen news items concerning anything from a plea for funds for a Greek orphan to the story of an FJC instructor planning to run for public office. During Spring vacation a contingent of FJC journalists attended the Journalism Association of Junior Colleges convention at Asilomar in Mon- terey, Calif, and came home with prizes in sev- eral divisions. Kip Sears won second prize in the editorial campaign division, Dena Smith won third prize in news reporting in depth, Lila McHugh won second prize for the Exchange Column, and Dave Bowman won an honorable mention in photography.
