J.C Alumnus
Given Award
During the summer many college and working girls were contacted by young men selling
household products. One of these
young men, Pat Gilligan, a 1960
graduate of J.C, sold $2,035
worth of Wearever aluminum
cooking ware products fo win a
$100 scholarship from his company.
In order to receive such an
award, one must sell $2,000 worth
of cook ware. This may seem like
a tremendous amount, yet eight-
teen young people made the requirements for the scholarship in
August alone, and sixty-one col-
legiates have earned over $10,000
a piece through this Wearever
plan.
Pat, who served as the
Sports editor on the 1959-60 J.C.
Echo, is now an engineering student at the University of Minnesota. He was awarded his schol-
are-. (1) Ways to make the Student Council more effective, Bob
Jenkins; (2) Recreation problems
in the junior college, Dave Kubiatowicz; (3) Alumni relations, Judy
Evans; (4) Student participation
in extra-curricular activities, Dorey
Wilkins; (5) Communications and
publicity, Blake Smyth and Jan
Larson; (6f Publications, newspaper, Blake Smyth, and yearbook,
Jan Larson; (7) Student lounges,
Bob Theel; and (8) a special session for council presidents on student government, Chuck Johnson.
There will also be discussion
groups for deans and advisors,
headed by Miss Evans.
The purpose of the convention
is to find out as much as possible
about how other schools handle
various problems of the junior
college and to summarize each
topic for further reference.
Participants will be guests at
dinner tonight at the Cloud Room,
Hotel Kahler, where they will be
greeted by Dean Hill, and at the
all-school mixer, planned by the
Social Committee. Chuck Wolden
is in charge of entertainment at
both the banquet and mixer.
The Convention will be closed
at a noon luncheon at Michael's
Supper Club tomorrow.
