Echo Staff
Hears Editor
Tuesday, November 10, at 7:30,
in Room 307, Elaine Harvey gave
a report on the Associated Collegiate Press convention and her
trip to Chicago, to the members
of the Echo staff.
From the many discussions she
attended at this convention, she
picked up many valuable tips for
the staff, in matters concerning
lay-out, news writing, feature writing, and journalism as a whole.
She told them of the value and
importance of a paper to the col- -
lege as a whole and not just to
one select group or the factulty,
the alumni, the administration, or
fhe student alone.

who was active on the ECHO

tor Post-Bulletin.

Faculty Confer
On Future Plan
A general Meeting and Conference Day was held by the
Rochester Public Schools, Monday, November 2, which included the Junior College faculty who
met with business men and talked on ways JC could turn out
better qualified personnel.
N. D. Cory, superintendent of
the public schools, opened the
program with a speech on the
school budget, the proposed high
school, and general school problems. He pointed out the necessity of building a new school because of the over-crowded conditions of fhe present system. One
of the outstanding advantages of
the new building being located
at Soldiers' Field is the availability of enough space for everything including physical education
facilities. He showed that even
if the Junior College were to be
housed elsewhere to make more
room for the high school, there
would still be a great shortage
of space and facilities. When the
new building is in operation, the
college   would   occupy   the   top
