Yeo objected when the town voted to adopt a condom distribution policy in Lex- ington High School ("LHS" ). 1 He responded by forming a political action group to oppose the policy arid submitting pro-abstinence ad- vertisements for publication in the official LHS yearbook ("the year- book") and newspaper ("the Musket"). 2 When student editors of both publications declined to run Yeo's advertisements, citing unwritten policies prohibiting the acceptance of political advertisements, Yeo claimed that his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights had been violated and threatened to sues Upon the editors' issuance of their final refusal to publish, Yco brought an action against his town and his son's high school principal in federal district court.' Both the local press and the district court decision that granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment portrayed plaintiff Yeo as overly litigious and moralistic.

JOURNALISM By Tom Deats HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA By TomDeats Associate Professor of Journalism University of North Dakota THE EARLY YEARS Almost from the day the University of North Dakota opened in 1884, UNO students showed an interest and enthusiam for journalistic activities that for many years went largely unmatched by either the university administration or the faculty. Within two years of the beginning of classes at the university, the students were publishing their own "newspaper," a magazine-style journal titled University News. There were no classes in journalism at UNO. No academic credit was given for working on the student publication. And no thought was being given to starting a journalism program.

Oxford University is internationally renowned for academic excellence. We encourage applications from academically strong students irrespective of their background, and welcome the diversity that international students contribute to the University.

Oxford is now one of the most international universities in the world. Today, one third of its students, including 17% of undergraduates, are from outside the UK and come from 140 countries. Oxford students receive an intensive education, including personalised tutorials, taught by academic leaders in their field. The University is made up of colleges. These are multidisciplinary communities within which students are supported and intellectually challenged, and have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life, many different cultures and from all around the world.

  • Evaluation of Voyage: the Official Student Publication of Lyceum of the Philippines University–Laguna
    LPU Laguna Journal of Arts and Sciences Communication Research Vol. 2 No.1 September 2015 EVALUATION OF VOYAGE: THE OFFICIAL STUDENT PUBLICATION OF LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY–LAGUNA Ellaine G. De Luna, Judifei C. Dimapilis, Klaris Celise A. Gonzales and Geraldine A. Dimaculangan Abstract This study is about the students‘ evaluation of Voyage. In this study, the researchers aimed to evaluate the paper in terms of attractiveness, comprehensibility, acceptability, self-involvement, and call to action to find out the readability level of the articles in the school paper and solicit feedback from experts, so as to relay the results to the editorial board of the school paper. The demographic profile of the students was gathered. The researchers categorized the elements of the school publication according to the terms to be evaluated. The students agreed that the publication is attractive; however, some improvements need to be considered. In terms of comprehensibility, the test results shows that the articles in the school publication can be understood by most of the students, and an average grade level between 6th to 10th is required for the readers to understand the content of the school publication. The students also agreed that the school publication contains things that are confusing and offensive. They also said that they are not convinced that the school paper is intended for students like them. This statement was validated through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and was supported by the survey results and feedback from experts. The students also said that the placement of the articles were complicated. They also agreed that the publication contains things contrary to their belief and that the school publication does not call for any action from the students.
