The Jaysee Echo (Rochester, Minnesota), Volume 25, Number 1

              At the beginning of another school year we are increasingly mindful of the fact that a college is becoming more of a
necessity in our complex society.
The success of any college rests upon the unity, loyalty,
and integrity of its students and faculty. For al'l of us, this will
be a year of new opportunities, new friends, and new experiences.
To each of you, whether a new student or a returning student, we extend our sincere welcome and best wishes for a most
successful year at R. J. C.

J. C. Instructors to
Conduct M-K Classes
In previous years, Junior College sociology and psychology
instructors, Mr. Davis, Miss Goette
and Mr. Bateman, have taught a
few classes at the Methodist-
Kahler School of Nursing. This
year the program has expanded.
Now, under the new arrangement between the Junior College
and the nursing school, the program will include English classes.
Mr. Short will teach two of these
English classes and Miss Matt
will teach one. Classes will be
held at the Damon Building.
Another new feature in the arrangement is that the nurses enrolled in these English courses
will have dual registration. They
will, of course, be enrolled in the
nursing school, and. they will ulso
register at fhe Junior College.
These English courses will therefore give them college credits
and permanent college records.
The Junior College will receive
tuition for these students from' the
Methodist School and it will also
receive additional state aid because of this expansion program.
English Department
Has New Instructors
This year Junior College has two new instructors. Mr. Wise,
the new speech and English teacher, and Mr. Short, who will be
teaching English and advising the RAJUCO staff, have established
their offices in Miss McGhee's old room on the top floor.
Mr.   Robert   O.   Wise  Jr.   was
born in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He
has attended' Creighton University in Omaha and the Iowa State
College at Cedar Falls, where
he majored in speech and dramatics and minored  in   English.
He has taught speech and English at Grundy Center, Iowa,
where he also was dramatics director. He also taught the same
subjects at Keokuk, Iowa.
At the University of Missouri,
Mr. Wise received his Masters
degree and began work on
his doctors degree.
Mr. Short, who is anything but
short, received his bachelor of
Science degree from Moorhead
State College. He majored in
English and minored in journalism and physical education. He
also has done graduate work at
North Dakota State College.
Mr. Short has taught journalism at Great Falls, Montana.
Mr. Short
Dean   Hill   welcomes   David   Muck,   a   freshman,  to  Junior
College.
Photographers
Wanted!
Anyone interested in learning
how to take pictures? We hope
so, because the paper and yearbook staff needs a few able-
bodied ambitious people. If
you're interested and able to
carry a camera, we'll teach you
how to use it and the darkroom,
too!
Watch the main bulletin-board
for the details of a photographers' meeting.
