Sara LaFollette The University of Portland took 3rd place honors in the Portland Advertising Federa¬ tion Competition, an annual statewide contest devoted to students finding a public ser¬ vice need in advertising. Most of the U of P team members were advertising stu¬ dents, though a few were U of P alumnis and non-advertise¬ ment majors. The theme chos¬ en by the team members was “Education for the Aged;’’ the slogans were “What did you learn in school today, Grand¬ ma?” and “Growing isn’t just for kids." The media used for the presentation were print (newspaper) television, radio and billboard media. The prize-winning presenta¬ tion was given with twelve other school campaigns. The competition was held at the U of P on March 21. Two other U of P campaigns discussed bicy¬ cle utilization and tension. First and second place posi¬ tions went to University of Oregon students with their presentations on Animal Birth Control, dealing with the high growth of animal birth rate in Oregon, and Rape Prevention. The winning college received a $1,000 scholarship from the Portland Advertising Federa¬ tion, and the campaigning will be released for the use of the Oregon Media. Third place U of P members were Ron Telles, Ernie Cascia- to, Ted Clifford, Gloriann Duff, and John Talbot. Their adviser of the campaign was Pam Musgrove, a former U of P student.
