Press Club Picks Works To Get Monthly Awards

Each month the Press Club presented awards for the best editorial, column, news story, feature, and sports story that appeared in the Campus Chat.

The Press Club Foundation of Dallas awarded three scholarships to members of the local club at the Journalism Department party in October. Members express an interest in the newspaper world, the advantages and problems of journalism, and the many fields open to journalists today.

Honoring the exes, the Press Club co-sponsored an open house during Homecoming with Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi, the journalism professional fraternities. In the spring the Press Club joined the rest of the Journalism Department to provide a journalism day for visiting high school students.

A variety of programs greeted the thirty members of the organization. Clardy (Sandy) McCullar, aviation editor of the Dallas Morning News, and seven college students who interned on papers during the summer provided two of the year's interesting programs.
