The Holcad, Westminster College's student-run newspaper, has been awarded first place by the American Scholastic Press Association.

The association, which serves more than 2,000 schools, conducts this competition annually and scores are based on content coverage, page design, general plan, art advertising and illustrations, editing, and creativity.

"To win first-place honors, a school must have a composite score of between 850-1,000," said Jim Raykie, instructor in the Department of English and Public Relations and advisor of the Holcad.  "Our composite score, I'm proud to say, was 935."
