Ideas for next year's school newspaper committee were discussed. Should each
school newspaper have a column devoted only to CSCC news? The Council decided that
this would be an excellent way to promote the Council within each school. Also,
discussed was the idea of printing activities going on in other high school in each
newspaper. The Council felt that if there was enough space it would be a good way
to keep in touch and only outstanding and interesting facts should be reported.
