Dean C E. Hffl
On October 15-17, a meeting
of the Council of North Central
Junior Colleges was held at Michigan State College at East Lansing, Michigan.
Dean Charles E. Hill was elected president of the Council. He
was vice-president last year and
has served on the council's board
of directors for three years. Dean
Hill, who is vice chairman of the
teachers preparation committee of
the American Association of Junior Colleges, was chairman of a
discussion on teacher preparation
at the council convocation.
The purpose of fhe council is
to tie the junior colleges closer
together and permit closer cooperation on the state and local
levels with the National Association. The committees at this meeting bring the desire of local committees to the attention of the national organization through the
North Central Council. A total
of 135 junior colleges in twenty
states are members of the north
central group. The Rochester
Junior College has been active in
the council since Roy Goddard,
former dean of RJC, helped organize it about ten years ago in
Chicago.
The 1953 convention will be
held at the Junior College in Independence, Kansas, in conjunction with the dedication of a new
one and one-quarter million dollar junior college building.
Elaine Harvey and Sue Rye are returning from their trip to
Chicago.

State Council
Meets at Ely
Six members of our student
council are attending the Student
Counci'l state convention at Ely,
Minnesota. Those attending are:
Dave Sperling, student council
president, Wayne Webb, sophomore class president, Dave Dunn,
freshman class president, Don
Kruse, freshman class representative, Elaine Harvey, Echo editor,
and Sue Rye, Rajuco editor.
The colleges attending the convention are those from Rochester,
Concordia, Austin, Worthington,
Evelefh, Brainerd, Hibbing, Bethany, Virginia, and Itasca. Each
college group will lead a topic
discussion.
The state convention will last
two days and consist of topic
discussions, a dinner, and a social
mixer.
Yesterday registration began at
9.00, followed by an Orientation
period. The first discussion was
opened at 10:45 with RJC leading the discussion on student publications. Other topics discussed
had fo do with the major problems a student council faces, such
as improving council-faculty relationships and improving the popularity of junior colleges in the
public eye. At 5:30 a formal dinner was given and was followed
by a social mixer at 8:00.
Today the discussion periods
began at 9:30 and continued until noon; from 1:00 to 2:30 this
afternoon there will be individual
reports from each of the council
presidents.
The topic on student publications is a good topic to discuss
because we have the two managing editors of our student publications and the news editor of
the Echo included among our representatives. Also the JC publications, the bi-monthly paper, the
Echo, and the yearbook, the Rajuco, give excellent material for
discussion, for they have both received journalistic recognition1.
The varied program of the
convention practically insures that
the trip will be beneficial to the
college as a whole, as well as to
the individual delegates attending.
