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.

atention," noted Dian Demo,
junior.
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.
