SAN Mfvreo JUNIOR COLLEGE 55 HIHVIIllIIVllllVIIII1IlIIlIll!IlllIHIIIIII!llVIllIlIIllllIllllMIIIlI!IIIVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I Illitlltllllll Radio Club HY the dog house on the roof?', is a question that is likely to be asked by almost any newcomer to our campus. Perhaps the explana- tion that it is station W6JU or, in other words, the college radio club headquarters, will be equally mystifying, at least as far as the purpose of the shack is concerned. Not improbably, he will think that it is the place where the fortunate members go to listen to the musical programs from KPO, or to take the daily dozen from KFI. In fact, if he sees them headed for the roof at eight o'clock in the morning, as is often the case, he will be almost sure that he is right in the latter supposition. But if he should become inquisitive to the point of asking a few more questions and becoming actually acquainted with the members, he will very soon be enlightened upon the matter, and I dare say, pleasantly surprised. A This club is not a plaything, though the members do seem to get an amount of pleasure out of it, but an important factor in our relationship with the outer world. The purpose of WGJU is not to provide entertainment in the general sense of the word, but to place San Mateo junior College on the air, not only locally but internationally. No one who understands the nature of the club, its purposes, and the work it has been doing, can fail to appreciate what such an organization means to our school, nor can he fail to experience a sense of admiration for its members and Mr. Hopkins, its' faculty adviser. 1 fPep czncl Rally Committee Sure we have 'em. Who doesn't? Those days when we forget that we are supposed to be wide awake students of the best little old junior college in the countryg when we forget that our splendid teams are doing their utmost to prove that they are absolutely the best, as far as athletic vigor is concernedg when possibly we fail to realize that even as our teams need the old lighting spirit to be winners, we students must also feel a spirit of pride and enthusiasm for out school and studies. Wlioevei' heard of a championship team being reared and nourished amid the gloom of pessimism and melancholy? One might as well try to raise a choice rose under the house. It can't be done. We don't try. Ar the slightest sign of gloom our Pep and Rally Committee gets busy, first with the rally and then witlm the pep.

This term, under the leadership of Bill Finger, who succeeded last year's chairman, Alan Metzger, the luncheons were featured by informal talks and discussions with such prominent newspaper men as Gobind Behari Lal, feature writer for the Exrmginer, and Harry B. Smith, sporting editor of the Claronicle. Arrangements were also made to have prominent members on the staffs of the Daily Califovvzinn and the Stanford Daily address the journalisticq group. The only requisite for membership in the club is enrollment in one of the three classes of journalism offered here, namely: reporting, editing or adver- rising. One of the high-lights of the social season is the semi-annual dance given by the Press Club. Pi-Nite, as it is termed, is usually given at Devonshire, or some other country club house, and skits and refreshments produce lasting memories for departing journalists.
