The Acorn, a student publication, is the college ' s main source for news concerning campus activities as well as a source for students who wish to develop their creative abilities in the field of journalism. This year’s Acorn, under the direction of co-editors Michael Mulcahy and John Monfredo, contained not only main features and editorials, but also regularly enjoyed columns such as Culture Corner, Chandler Street Beat,” Predictions,” Around the Campus,” Club Events,” Hats Off,” Dates to Circle,” sports, and cartoons. With the increasing college enrollment came a growing interest and demand for a better college newspaper. The Acorn feels that this year’s paper has upheld its pop- ularity among its readers and that the incoming classes will do their best to improve the Acorn of the future. Faculty Advisers: Dr. Carleton E. Saunders Mr. Joseph J. Foley 25
