The Student Voice Since 1903

The Vista wins design honors CSU's semiweekly student newspaper ranks third nationally By Larry Rogers Staff Writer The Vista took third place honors for overall design amidst a field of hundreds in a nationwide newspaper design competition sponsored by the University of Missouri School of Journalism. "We hope this sends a signal to the academic community that CSU is the place to be for journalism students," said Mark Hanebutt, director of The Vista. The Student Society of Newspaper Design's 1991 College Design of the Year competition considered entrants in 12 categories for daily and weekly college newspapers. The Vista won third place for overall design of a weekly college newspaper. Taking top honors were the University of Califor-

nia at San Diego, first place, and the Art Institute of Chicago, second place. The newspaper received an honorable mention for page one design of the Jan. 17, 1991 issue by editor-in-chief DeWayne Smoot. The Dec. 4, 1990 editorial page, designed by Keith Purtell, also won an honorable mention. "I think the newspaper design and overall layout are very important elements of the newspaper," Smoot said. "I want to congratulate the staff of The Vista for their hard work," said Terry Clark, CSU's department of journalism chair. "I believe the redesign shows our interest in serving the students and faculty of CSU as we strive to improve the news coverage and give the campus a top-notch journalistic product." Hanebutt submitted the entries in April after a major overhaul of the paper in

November 1990 during CSU's centennial. "I thought the paper looked good and I thought it could win," Hanebutt said. Improvements to the newspaper include a new logo, new sections such as "World Wrap" and the addition of an inverted pyramid at the end of each story, to symbolize the "V" in Vista. The objective was to achieve a clean, classy appearance for the paper and to give it continuity, said Dan Birlew, a CSU graphic design major who helped with the paper's revamping, along with Dr. James R. Watson, CSU assistant professor of visual art and design. These achievements will hopefully attract more journalism students to CSU, Hanebutt said. "I sincerely hope it's just the beginning of even greater things to come," Clark said. V

The traditional Central State University student is no longer the fresh-faced kid right out of high school, said Dr. Ed Cunliff, institutional research and planning director. Cunliff said his department analyzed student information during the past two months to find out what kind of people attend CSU. The information can help CSU officials determine how effective current programs are, Cunliff said, and may help them decide if new programs are needed. The majority of students 20-30 years ago came to CSU the semester following their high school graduation and earned their bachelor's degree in four years, he said. Today, CSU students are likely to have attended other universities, are working a part-time or full-time job, are older than their predecessors and take eight years to get their degrees, the study showed.

The reason for this trend is that metropolitan students seem to be more interested in the education itself than where they get it, said Cunliff. "The old college loyalty is pretty much a thing of the past," said Cunliff. "Current students are more market-oriented and more convenience-oriented," Cunliff said. "Consequently, students are more likely to take classes wherever and whenever it fits into their schedule." Another reason for the changing student profile is the fact that there are more educational opportunities available in the metropolitan areas than there are in less populated areas. Students attending rural schools tend to stay with the same school until graduation, Cunliff said. "Probably it's as much geography as anything else." CSU conferred 1,554 undergraduate degrees during 1989-90. Of those, 25 percent had started at CSU, but had hours from other institutions on their transcripts. Only 13 percent earned all their hours at CSU. 'V
