Warren Wiese, Student
Council Representative-at-large,
announced that the Clubrooms
are now open for J. C. patronage. All J. C.'s are invited to
spend their free time between
the hours of 9:00 and 3:30 at
the newly-opened ground-floor
facilities. Hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches are on sale
during the noon-hour. Wiese
also said that ticket sales for the
Clubrooms have thus far been
very satisfactory.
DALY ELECTED
VARSITY SCRIBE
"Genial" Joe Daly was elected secretary of the R J. C. Varsity club during a recent meeting to replace George Grim who
has transferred to Iowa State
College at Ames. Plans for a
spring picnic were also discussed
at the meeting. Further plans
for such an occasion will be taken up at the next get-together
of the letter winners. It was
also brought out that the announced cut in prices of T-shirts
that  are  on  sale  in   the  book
store was a mistake they still
cost one buck! ! ! !
Candidates Nominated
At Booster Pep Fest
ZlaJso^cde G&ilum&i PLumued .
Both  settings   and  costumes
for the Junior College play,
"The Emperor's New Clothes"
will be Chinese. The street of
the Weavers calls for an
atmosphere of poverty
and neglect, but the room
of Mighty Han suggests
the grandeur of the Emperor's
palace. And speaking of new
clothes, the Emperor does not
always have the New Look—
in fact he sometimes has' the
"Nude" look because of the
trickery of the merry vagabonds,
Zar and Zan, who coerce him to
go on parade wearing only his
"undermost garment of all."
Johnmiles Johnson plays the
role of his majesty, by the way.
This I'll have to see.
The Empress, Phyllis Hendricks, the villain, Bob Lyke,
and the five flagged general,
Jack Tervo, will be robed in
splendor.
In contrast, the royal weavers wear sad rags and receive sad
treatment from the tyrant Han.
Only the shrewdness of the foreign weavers—Frank and Bob
Hentges brings   relief   to   the
oppressed artisans and gives the
play a happy ending.
The Booster Pep Assembly,
held Friday morning February 27 in the Central Auditorium, boasted a good student
turnout and much of the pep
which has been lacking so far
this year.
The assembly opened with a
number by the student band,
after which Wayne Field, acting
as master of ceremonies, introduced Mr. Singley. Mr. Singley explained the Booster Cup
award, gave a short history of
the cup, and then opened the
floor for nominations. Bill
Sandberg, Dot Dickson, Frankie
Markell, Red Cochran, Don
Miller, and Warren Wiese were
nominated and were voted on
by the students on Tuesday,
March 2.
Warren Wiese took the
chair next and explained
the office of Student Council Representative at Large,
and the procedure for
electing a freshman to that
position. Nominations
were  called  for  and  Bob
Hentges, Louis Sheffer, Del
Thurber, Howie Sandum,
and    John    Miller    were
chosen as candidates one
of whom was also elected
by the students on Tuesday last.
Next on the agenda was Ted
Cadwell who told the students
of the possibility of obtaining
clubrooms at the Merry-Go-
Round, and of the procedure
necessary to secure them.
Following the discussion on
the clubrooms, Keith Rudkin
gave a boost to a very worthy
cause—"Meals for Millions."
The rest of the assembly was
devoted to the pep meeting
proper, and after short speeches
by game-captain Ollie Marquardt and Coach Joe Rockenbach, Jim Gove and Ronnie Al-
bresch—-as the "Bloomer Girls"
—;added to the fun! and confusion by tripping gaily around
on the stage and leading a few
yells.
The Pep Meeting was sponsored by the I. R. C. club.

Sad Pans of U. Frosh
Adorn Bulletin Board
Bob Smith (former RHS student now attending the U) got
flash happy with his 35 mm,
which resulted in the charming
convict poses of two—well, I
guess you might call them convicts. "Whiskers" and "The
Giggler" glared blandly at poor
unsuspecting students while Joe
and Stan passed their carefree
days in^the U. of M.'s Union
oblivious to it all. But'when
they found out, the creative
ability of one Robert Smith was
somewhat curtailed. After all,
we have enough sad souls on
our own limited campus without shipping them in from un-
| known parts.
Several J. C.'s
Caught at J. D.
A few of the small-footed
lads from J- C. were invited to
the Jobs' Daughters' dance last
Saturday night. We say small
footed because the price of admission depended upon the
length of the shoe. Upon paying the entrance fee in said manner the couples were admitted	
after  they  had deposited  their
shoes at the door.
Games were played during the
intermission, while music was
furnished by the juke box. At
one o'clock the foot garb was
again donned and the guests left
via the long flight down.

Drivers of high-school age
have the country's worst driving record. Drivers of college
age are not much better. Between the two groups, a fatality record three times wotse than
that of all other age levels has
been reached.
In cooperation with the National Safety Council and the
AAA, Varsity — the young
man's magazine—is.now campaigning for school driving programs.
Meanwhile, it s up to the individual driver. Check your
knowledge on this quiz, condensed from the November issue
of Varsity:

starting a car is to flip on
the ignition.

A SAD APOLOGY
FROM THE EDITORS
Due to misinformation,
The Jaysee Echo has been
using as a slogan in the last
few issues "Athletic T-shirts
are now 89c." The Varsity
Club, which sponsors the
sale of these T-shirts, informs
us that the price of the
T-shirts has NOT been reduced, and that our slogan is
pure libel and exceedingly
FRAUDULENT. It also is
subversive to the best interests of the Varsity Club.
THEREFORE, we submit
with humble apologies that
the Yellowjacket T-shirts remain at their usual price of
one dollar, and may still be
purhased in the bookstore.
