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

AUDIO VISUAL AIDS ASSOCIATION Seated left to right: Steven Keenan, Secretary, Leslie Brevard, President; Robert Bowser, Vice President. The purpose of the Audio-Visual Aids Association is twofold: one, to acquaint the members with the operation and uses of the various audio-visual equipment; and two, to provide assistance to the various clubs and classes using the audio-visual equip- ment. Members of this club are assured of a background which will prove invaluable during their future teaching careers. Until this year, the Audio-Visual Aids Association has been guided by Mr. Melvin Merken. In the fall of 1962, however, Mr. Paul Davis was appointed to the faculty of this college and was given complete charge of the Audio-Visual Aids Department. The future of the Audio-Visual Aids Association is very promising; and with the guidance of Mr. Davis, it will become an active and integral part of the college. Faculty Adviser: Mr. Paul Davis
