PACE FOLK ROGUE NEWS I 1(1., NOV. 12, l!)f3 School Poll Results Ask Name Change Should the name of our school paper, Rogue News, be changed? A recent poll shows that over 90 per cent of the 100 students polled arc in favor of changing the name of the paper. Why should the long undis puted title of the Ashland High School student publication be changed? What would it be changed to? These are a few of the questions asked students of A11S. "The name doesn't reflect AIIS," said Steve Rost, senior. Those in favor of changing the name argue that the name doesn't have anything to do with the school itself. Since the school's nickname is the Grizzlies or Bruins and Ashland is at the head of the Rogue Valley, but not near the Rogue River, they say Rogue News should be the banner of a school near the river or a school with the nickname Rogue. ". . . it doesn't tell the school it represents," commented Cyndi Mackey, a sophomore. "Rogue News" does not sound original," noted Chris Revel, sophomore. Too General Others argue that the present name is too general. They say that it sounds like a newspaper to cover the Valley's news instead of just the school's. "Rogue News is too vague," said Jack Ragan, senior. According to Doug Kirby, ju nior, the name is not "interesting enough." "It does not attract One Man Show Given By Actor Mr. Phillip Hanson, famous for his one-man acts, gave a one man show October 21 of "Huckleberry Finn."- The show, which is normally an hour and a half, was condensed to only 55 minutes, bringing out the main highlights of the story. Mr. Hanson's performance made the students understand how Huckleberry lived. At the end of the show, the audience gave Mr. Hanson a standing ovation. The purpose of the act was to assist the student in helping to gain a greater enjoyment in read ing Mark Twain's books. All Eng lish students are reading "Huckle berry Finn" this six weeks. Mr. Hanson and his wife reside in Ashland and are presently touring several central states and also Canada.

Those in favor of keeping the name K-.Rue News say that the name has traditional value. AHS has been represented by a school paper with the name Rogue News since 1911. They say it should not be changed because of tra dition. "It was good enough to make the grade a few years ago, it hould be good enough now," commented Pat O'Connor, senior. Pat Smith, also a senior, says "it has been the same for years, why change it now?" The con side of the issue was also represented by Chris Shelton sophomore, who says, "1 don't think it really needs to be changed. Most of the kids in Ash land High like to be different." Replacement? If the name was changed, what would be its replacement asked many students. Many of the names that were suggested by those in favor of changing it had to do with the nickname or the school colors. The name of other Rogue Valley school newspapers tie in with the school, such as the Medford Hi-Times, Crater Com ments, South Eugene's The Axe, and Chico, Calif., The Red and Gold. The names suggested the most times or the most original names are The Grizzly Gazette, The Grizzly Globe, The AHS Herald, The Grizzly Growl, The Grizzly Journal, The Bruin Bulletin. The Grizzly Star, The Red and White Hi-Lights, and The Crimson Courier. Many students suggested the Bear Facts as a name, but it is not sophisticated enough to make the grade of a high school paper. Voting for the new name will take place sometime next week. Art Service Corps Kept Busy At AHS The Art Service Corps is being kept pretty busy around Ashland High School and the community. Recently the club made place cards for the teachers' conference Medford, besides displaying student art work in the art room the library, and the study hall of AHS. They also did posters for the Continental Breakfast being sponsored by the Future Business Leaders of America Club. SISKIYOU LAUNDRY COMPLETE LAUNDKY SERVICE M. M.
