Tha first Student Activity Budget in RJC, totaling $14,000, was released last month by the
faculty  Student Activity Committee.
The largest amounts from the Budget, which
helps pay expenses of college activities, went to
Athletics, Echo, Rajuco, and Social divisions in that
order.
Money for the budget comes from the Student
Activity fee, vending machine profits and book
store profits. In past years no budget was needed
because more money was available.
This year, due to increased Book Store expenses, largely for personnel, the profits which
subsidized the Budget in past years are difficult to
determine.
For that reason a Budget was set up by the
Student Activities Committee, which consists of Phillip Kortz, chairman; Robert Wise, James Wignes,
and Leonard Jansen.
That committee received financial requests
from the faculty advisors to various activities early
last spring. It also projected total income for the
budget on the basis of advanced enrollment figures.
Then the Student Activity Committee determined how much each activity could receive in view
of the advisor's request and the total available.
The following are the results of that determination:

Actors Mop It Up-At Play Rehearsals
As I walked into Coffman Hall,
Vicky Olson, a JC sophomore,
dodged a football-type block and
jumped up on a chair.
lr,
fa is a scene from one of the one-act plays put on by RJC students
lyear. Cast members pictured from "Five In Judgment" are left
[fiat, Tom Bushee, Jerry Delaney, Larry Blum, and Cindy Packard.
fitting in front is Ed Villwock and lying on  the  floor is  Dick
fewood.
Marilyn Dahl, another sophomore, jumped back, dodging
Carol Johnson, a freshman, in a
fullback stance.
Then, Mr. Robert Wise, director
of theatre at JC interrupted, "All
right, let's try that again."
The Occasion?
A rehearsal of "Ladies of the
Mop," one of the three one act
plays af JC was in progress. "Ladies of the Mop" is written in
poetry — at least the last words
of each line rhyme. It is concerned with four theatre scrub women
who think they can perform as
well as any actor.
Later in the rehearsal Vicky
Olson, who is supposed to dream
of being a great pianist, sits at
the piano to perform. After a tail
flipping, wrist shaking introduction, we get her rendition of chop
sticks. After a few wrong notes
Vicky states to Wise, "I don't
know how to play this you know."
Wise just chuckles; it doesn't
matter, she probably isn't supposed to anyway.
Vicky finishes and the rehearsal
continues. After stops and starts,
experiments and progressions, the
clock shows 8:30. Rehearsal is
over. The girls breathe somewhat
of a sigh of relief as they come
off the stage. As they start out
the door, Mr. Wise calls, "Remember your mops Friday night." The
girls leave.
Already members of the cast of
"Curse You, Jack Dalton" have
started to arrive. Soon that rehearsal begins.. The plays are
one rehearsal closer to a dress
rehearsal and to their first performance.
RJC Program
Set For KWEB
Sunday -12:30
The first college radio program
to originate from RJC in its history
will be aired on KWEB Radio,
1270, Sunday, October 21, at
12=30 p.m.
The October 21 program will
feature a discussion of integration
led by Mr. Walter Bateman. The
second program will be a political
interview.
Bateman's program will be the
first in a weekly series aimed at
Rochester Junior College and senior high school age students.
KWEB is granting the college free
time for the broadcasts.
The format for each program
will be somewhat differnet, with
student panels, JC music groups,
personality interviews planned at
present.
Some of the shows will be concerned with JC events like Sno-
Week, while others will be more
like the first two. A different faculty member will produce each
week.
That faculty member will have
complete charge of student participation in the productions. Students will not produce programs;
since the time was given specifically to the Junior College.
One standard feature of each
program will be a five minute
newscast about JC events of the
past week. Jerry Wolfbauer will
be the newscaster.
