With Sno-Week in fhe not-too-     far   and   some   of  their   interests
distant future, we are beginning
to wonder who our charming Sno-
queen will be, as some of the
candidates have now been chosen.
The following are the girls who
have been selected for running so
and  activities.

The  Christmas convocation   held  yesterday  opened  with  a
numbers by the band and some Christmas pieces by the choir.
The Potlatch — which climaxed the Christmas convocation oni
December 21 — is based on the custom of the Kwaktual Indians.:
It involves the competition of two rival chiefs and their followers, eachi
of whom had the purpose of shaming his rival by presenting him with i
more property than he could- return with the required interest.
Chief Ed Villwock had challenged Chief Marilou Prow to start thei
competition. JC's modification of this custom is the placement of non-J
perishable food before the chief whom a student wants to LOSE thei
Potlatch. If a student favored Chief Prow for instance, he placed his ?
food before Chief Villwock or vice-versa.   The chief with the most food :
     before  him   loses.    However,  thej
new twist added to RJC's Potlatch-
ing method is that no matter'
which chief at RJC loses or wins,:
The Salvation Army is the big1
WINNER, since all of the donated1
food will be given to The Salva-1
tion Army.

The second annual Region Nine
National Science Foundation Institute was held at Rochester Junior College on  December  15-16.
Mr. James Wignes, director of
the science division of Junior College and in charge of the program preparations, made the introductions. Welcomes were given
to a group of more than seventy
junior and senior high school
science instructors, representing
nearly forty schools.
After a short break, Mr. Gene
Wooldridge, Physics instructor at
the college and also a former professional meteorologist, talked to
the group on "Wind Analysis and
General Circulation Patterns."
Using projections to show his topic,
he discussed the components of
force which cause wind velocity
and direction, and related those
to circulation patterns in the atmosphere. Also discussed was the
application of wind analysis to
ground fallout.
Sectional meetings, featuring
speakers of the staff of the Region
Nine NSF Institute, were held on
Friday afternoon and Saturday
morning and afternoon. Dr. Joseph M. Kiely of the clinical oncology section of the Mayo Clinic
