    79I /f NIGERIAN MILITARY GOVERNMENT AND PRESS FREEDOM, 1966-79 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Ehikioya Agboaye, B.A. Denton, Texas May, 1984 Agboaye, Ehikioya, Nigerian Military Government and Press Freedom, 1966-79. Master of Arts (Journalism), May, 1984, 3 tables, 111 pp., bibliography, 148 titles. The problem of this thesis is to examine the military- press relationship inNigeria from 1966 to 1979 and to determine whether activities of the military government contributed to violation of press freedom by prior restraint, postpublication censorship and penalization. Newspaper and magazine articles related to this study were analyzed. Interviews with some journalists and mili- tary personnel were also conducted. Materials collected show that the military violated some aspects of press freedom, but in most cases, however, journalists were free to criticize government activities. The judiciary prevented the military from arbitrarily using its power against the press. The findings show that although the military occasionally attempted suppressing the press, there are few instances that prove that journalists were denied press freedom.

By Kate Taylor Central Ward Councillor Paul Tatchell has been voted as Moorabool’s new Mayor. East Ward Councillor John Spain was voted in as Deputy Mayor. Outgoing Mayor Pat Toohey did not re-nominate at the Statutory and Annual Appointments Meeting held last Wednesday 30 October, where Mayor Tatchell won the role with a 5-2 majority. Nominated by East Ward Councillor Allan Comrie, Cr Tatchell gained votes from fellow councillors Comrie, David Edwards, Tonia Dudzik and John Spain. West Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan was nominated and voted for by Pat Toohey. New Mayor Tatchell told the meeting he was very fortunate to have been given the privilege of the role. “For former mayor Pat Toohey, to have come on board and then taken on the role of Mayor with four new councillors, he jumped straight in the driver’s seat… and the first few months were very difficult, but he persevered with extreme patience. “And to the experienced councillors we came in contact with from day one, with years of experience, without that, I can’t imagine how a council could have operated with seven new faces. We are incredibly fortunate to have those experienced councillors on board.” Mayor Tatchell also hinted at a vision for more unity in the future. “A bit less of ‘I’ and more of ‘we,’” he said. Deputy Mayor Spain was voted in with votes from councillors Dudzik, Edwards, and Comrie, with Mayor Tatchell not required to cast a vote on a majority decision.

    ROSARY HIGH SCHOOL A Catholic, College Preparatory School for Young Women ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 Annual Report 2018-2019 Dear Rosary Families, Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” I firmly believe that our girls can accomplish anything once they graduate from Rosary High School because we empower them to dream big so that they can achieve their greatest potential. Rosary High School has been educating young women in the Dominican tradition since 1962. Rosary women are taught the four Dominican pillars: study, prayer, community, and preaching. These four pillars help develop the foundation on which these young women’s academic and spiritual lives are built. These four pillars are what will help define who they are today, but more importantly, who they become in the future. This past school year, our girls did some pretty amazing things in and out of the classroom. Once again, 100% of this year’s graduating class was college bound, and 91% of the graduates earned scholarships totaling over $11.5 million. Two Rosary students qualified as National Merit Commended Students, 16 earned the designation of Illinois State Scholars, and 20 were inducted into the National Honor Society. Rosary students performed over 10,000 hours of service to our community this past year assisting local food pantries, special education recreation programs, churches and youth groups, Catholic grade schools, local senior citizens, and even performing painting and light construction on a summer mission trip in Indiana. Clearly Rosary continues to prepare Dominican Christian leaders who make us proud.
