THE U .S.C.F. PRESS, began operating m late May and the May-June USCF Ne wsletter was the first item off the presses. Since that time we ha ve completed the first portion of an examination for gymnastics officials. The examination is desig ned to help stimulate the trainin g of gymnastics officials and also offer area or local organizations the equiva lent of an "open book" examination for new or potential judges. In time we will be conducting official exami nations to qualify judges for area or national cha~1pi on ships. Registration blanks (for membership in the 1 SC F) are also now available if clinic directors or meet mana ~e r s wish to make use of them at gymn astic events. .,.:.
