R. J. Registration
This year registration in R. J. C.
has suffered a slump. The first
few years after the war,
veterans made up the greatest percentage of college enrollment. Now most of them have
completed at least the first two
years of their education. 3. C,
however, still has seventy-four of
them under the G. I. Bill. The total
number of students this year is 260
of which 182 are men and 78 are
women. Out of these only sixteen
are married.

RAJUCO
Takes Shape
The RAJUCO, our most esteemed yearbook, is one of secrecy yet.
This doesn't mean that so far we
don't have a yearbook; it just
means that the editors and her
slaves have decided not to divulge
the contents of it.
Said slaves are also working on
a most brilliant dedication. To
whom this honor is to go is—also
a secret. The theme and the dedication are the most important is-
sues right now—and probably the
most important of the book. The
committees have been pooling their
ideas to come out with something
really outstanding.
The RAJUCO will have new
adornment this year to fit in
with the "new look." It will
be encased in more substantial
clothing; that is, it will have a
heavier binding. Otherwise, it
will be on somewhat the same
order.
About the only committee that
has anything concrete is the Activities Committee. They have pictures of the mixer at Shady Oaks
which   succeeded    in    mixing   the
crowd  up with  the  Cokey-Oakey,   prQgr fo||owin,      the    Yellow-

Clubroom facilities of the Y. W. C. A. Merry-Go-Round will be
available to Junior College students, it was announced yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the student body in Coffman Hall.
Negotiations for the clubrooms have been in progress since the
beginning of school under the general direction of Bob Hentges, student council president, and Dede Peters, clubroom committee chairman.    The permission of the Y. W. C. A. executive board was finally
secured after Dean Goddard and
Mrs. Bock, Dean of Women, met
with "Y" officials last Thursday to
iron out minor difficulties.
Committees Make
1948 Homecoming
Unique Success
As we all know, the 1948 Homecoming proved to be one of the
most successful homecomings that
the Junior College teachers and
students can remember.
Joan McCue was crowned our
queen at the assembly in the Central Auditorium at 11:00, and with
her two attendants, Carol Schmidt
and Edee Larson, reigned over the
coming.
The Faculty, Clubs, and Students
Committees have begun to put
their ideas down on paper, but are
still in the erasing stages.

Election, an amendment to the
constitution, and a debate were
the special points of interest to
the International Relations Club
members who convened on Wednesday, October 13, in the Methodist Recreation Room.
After the amendment to the constitution  that the  president should
appoint  the   chairman   and   mem-
' bers   of   each   publicity,   finance,
program    planning,    social,    and

headed   by   Donna  Whitney,  with
Nancy   Kendall,   Donna   Johnson,
Ruth   Wood,   Zane   Chaffee,   Don

A rental fee for the clubrooms amounting to $525 will
be paid out of the student
activity fund for the five and
one-fourth months that the
clubrooms will be in operation.
The hours have been set at
from 11:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M.,
Monday through Friday. This
agreement is on a trial basis,
beginning Monday, November
1, and ending January 1,
1949. If at that time it is satisfactory to both parties, the
arrangement will be extended
to May 1, 1949.
In consideration of the rental
fee the Y. W. C. A. will provide
adequate facilities, such as (1) a
snack bar hostess, who will prepare
and sell the food; (2) regular
weekly janitorial service; (3) game
equipment, such as cards, ping-
