A COLLEGE newspaper is a necessary item in the life of the college student. It lets him know what is happening on campus and thus interest in college activities is created. In September, under the supervision of Gloria Eisenberg, the paper was off to a good start. In January Miss Eisenberg resigned and the paper was reorganized with Frank Pcnte as its editor. Four members of the staff represented OCCC at the New York Press Conference on November 21, 22, 23. The conference was held at Cortland State Teachers College. Sal Rizzo was nominated as the delegate for next year. Helpful pointers on the improvement of college newspapers were discussed at the conference. The members are willing to work so that the rest of the student body can be well informed about what is going on around campus.
