The Student Council INANCIAL and social problems came to the fore this year more than usual in the work of the Council. Because of the closing of the local banks and the consequent tie-up of Junior College funds, frequent revision of the budget was necessary, and some of the activities were curtailed for lack of sufficient funds. The Women’s League Student Loan Fund was, however, given first consideration. Athletics, Crucible, assemblies, awards, con- ferences, debating, Tetra Sci Club, social activities, Engineers Club, Law Club, Glider Club, J.C. Y. and the Chorus, all received some of the appropriation from the Student Activity Fund. The play, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” and the dances on October 16, Janu- ary 22, and March 18, were successful financially, as well as socially. At the beginning of 1932, the Council approved the plans to increase the size of the Crucible, changing it from a three column to a four column paper. Several innovations were made by the Council this year in the regulation of the J. C. Parties and in its relations with the social committee. The problems of restricting the admission of outsiders to J. C. parties and of securing chaperones have been happily solved, the one by the use of a rigid permit system, the other by the united efforts of the student body, the Social Committee, and the Council. Better cooperation between the various committees and the Council was obtained by the ruling that all decisions of that body be communicated in writing. The weekly assemblies were varied and well-planned, those featuring the J. C. Chorus, the illustrated lecture on Alaska by Rev. Thornton B. Penfield, the lecture on “‘Personality,’’ by Professor McCluskey of the University of Michigan, on ‘Prohibition,’ by Ira Land- rith, on ‘Peace and Disarmament” by T. Q. Harrison, and on “Wise Investments,’ by Reverend C. E. Doty of Saginaw.

The 193]-32 year witnessed the publication of fifteen bi-weekly issues and this Graduation Edition. The paper was three-columned during the fall months, but permission to add a fourth column was obtained from the Student Council in December, and the larger Crucible made its first appearance on January |2. Since the appearance of the four-column paper, the student body has taken a much greater interest in the Crucible than has ever before been mani- fested. The staff has really felt that its efforts have been appreciated this year. William Groening, who was editor during the second semester of 1930-31 returned to take charge in September. He has been the guiding light in all of the current year’s improvements. Graduating this June after three semesters at the head of the staff, Groen- ing enjoys the distinction of having had the longest tenure of office of any Crucible Editor. James Finkbeiner, a freshman who joined the staff in September, showed such remarkable promise that he was elected assistant-editor at the close of the first semester. During the second semester he executed his duties in a very capable fashion, and he will succeed Groening to the editorship next fall. The increasing interest in Junior College athletics led to the improvement of the sport page, which this year was under the direction of Francis Barnett, Joseph Biller, and Robert Wood. An especially popular feature of the sport page was “Bask etball Person- alities,’’ a series of cartoons of Coach Hood and his team. This series and several other cartoons appearing from time to time were drawn by Frank Williams, the Crucible’s talented cartoonist. Paul Belknap inaugurated a series of special interviews with representative business and professional men which met with popular approval. The most popular humor columns were ‘“‘Schnozzle,”” by Henry Hart, “The Nutcracker,’ by Stewart Brams, and “Junior College Day by Day,” by Jack Kavanagh. Richard Weadock and Jack Korn assisted with the headline-writing, proof-reading, and make-up work. Other staff members during the current year included David Kahn, Madelyn Race, lone Smith, Margaret Berka, Joseph MacPhail, Edith Davis, Helen Ossipove, Jane Fowler, Winifred Bamford, Robert Friers, Lorraine DeWaele, Ethel Vallender, Bessie Tepper, Richard Doty, Mary Richards, Robert Boyse, and Fred Tonks.
