Morgan, Klapper Get Awards
Frank Morgan, Webster Groves, Mo., senior, won first place in the William Randolph Hearst nationwide news writing competition for December. Byron Klapper, Bronx, N. Y., sophomore, was ninth.
The two citations placed KU's School of Journalism in first place among the 45 schools and departments of journalism competing for recognition last month.
MORGAN'S ARTICLE, which appeared in the Dec. 13 edition of the Daily Kansan, was headlined, "A Teacher for 28 Years, His Rewards —Debt."
The article chronicled an average day in the life of a retired faculty member. The subject of the article was a composite figure whose financial difficulties were based on the actual experiences of retired faculty members interviewed by Morgan.
As a first prize winner, Morgan will receive a $100 fellowship and a foundation scroll. The School of Journalism will also receive a foundation citation.
KLAPPER FINISHED ninth in the competition for his news story about students picketing local polling places on election day. He is now a reporter on the Leavenworth Times.
Klapper finished 12th in the November competition, with a story about the disclosure that certain local taverns and rooming houses were discriminating against Negroes.
