FORWARD! “Our fighting spirit!” we cry. “And what does it profit?” we are asked. With an enrollment half again as large as necessary to make it legal, our new Junior College has been launched. Statistics of enrollments in other departments are equally encouraging—even the faculty boasting ten additional members. Homecoming day marked the moving of the first shovel of dirt for Crandall Gymnasium. The new dormitory. Heron Hall, and the Electrical Engineering Building have also become realities this year, and stakes on the hill mark the place where the president’s home will soon stand. For our two-year building program, a total of $187,975 has been voted us by the State for additions, betterments, and structural improvements. Of this amount, $1 GO,000 goes for the new buildings and the remainder for irrigation, a fire protection system, an extension of the sewer system, and for water storage. In addition to this appropriation, our total estimated regular expenditure for this year has been $158,700. Not the least indication of the Polytechnic spirit of progress is the Glen-Mont, christened March 17. This superb monoplane, which made its first flight on the afternoon of March 27. 1928, is believed to be the first ever built by students anywhere. The gift from the Federal Navy Air Station at San Diego of a $20,000 Martin Monoplane, together with four motors valued at $27,644, is in itself something of which to be proud, Poly being the only school of its size and type to receive such a donation. The Ags brought home thirteen first prizes and one-hundred-eight dollars in cash from Riverside, and later captured various ribbons elsewhere. Both band and orchestra have increased in quality and activities, and the band in size. Moreover, an entirely new musical organization, the Nite Hawks, has been formed. That the recently created art department is a capable one is denoted by the art work in this El Rodeo. The academic department boasts of new teachers, new courses, great- er emphasis on scholarship, and three new clubs as well: the Spanish Club, the Press Club, and Zeta chapter of Omega Xi Alpha, an honorary collegiate journalistic fraternity which, because it includes eight other California colleges, will further our journalistic associations with other schools. The Parakeet, the first strictly literary magazine ever published on the California Polytechnic campus, also appeared this year, and speaks for our journalistic alertness, as do the increased size and frequency of the Poly- gram and the cover and contents of this second issue of El Rodeo. With sincere appreciation for their cooperation, the staff presents these evidences of Poly’s fighting spirit to our friends both here and elsewhere. Especially do we recognize the cooperation and support of Dr. Crandall, Miss Chase, Senator C. C. Baker. Assemblyman Chris Jesperson, State Director of Finance, A. R. Heron, the State Board of Control, and the State Department of Education.
