Issues during the first term were edited by Rolf Aaseng. Judging is based on four aspects of the newspaper. They are: (1) news values and soures; (2) news writing and editing; (3) headlines, typography and makeup; and (4) department pages and special feat-ures. The overall rating is made on the basis of each of these groups. Special mention was made of "the broad coverage of editor-ials." Judges further added ".the colleges of this country need more editorial writers like yours." The Concordian has received All-American honors nine times during the 16 years of ACP criti-cal appraisal. In the remaining years, the college newspaper has been rated as first class. Last year, first class honors were re-ceived.
