Nlargaret Peterson The Forum was organized the second semester, 1929, but it was then known as the V.I.T. fVentu.rers in Thoughtj. Because ot the length ot the name it was changed to the College Forum, and is now known simply as the Forum. The purpose of the club is to bring before college students the most vital and outstanding problems of the day. The topics taken up in the Forum cover a large field, ranging from questions of world interest to those ot im- portance in the college only. The club stands as aclearing house for the contro- versies that in any way affect the students. At the end ot the talk everyone is free to enter the discussion and to make any criticism or suggestion he wishes. The Forum is open to all Junior College students who are interested in current affairs of the world, and the number of those students is indicative ot the alert- ness of the college body. The Forum is not origional at Junior College by any means, forpalmost every college has one. But, the size and enthusiasm of the organ- ld b h d t d licate. lVlembership in a club of this type can- ization here wou e ar o up not fail to prepare the students in some measure for membership in the organ- izations which carry on the government.

W. C. A. had VVomen as Pioneersnfor its theme this year, and at each meeting some prominent woman was discussed. These discussions of the life and work of such Women as Nlrs. Nlartin Johnson, Helen Keller, and Joan of Arc, were very interesting. The candy sales held in the halls and at ,the foot- ball games were perhaps the chief' outside activity, but there were others, such as the lVIother-Daughter banquet, which was given Nlarch 14-, and the food sales held in the physics laboratory during the vveek of finals. Here the girls administered hot cocoa, cookies, and sandwiches to the toiling students, An important phase of the group's work this year was its connection with the Y,VV.'s of the other junior colleges in Kansas. This connection was made through the Y-VVorld , the monthly paper, and at the conference. The paper was edited by a different junior college each month, and was a bulletin of' the activities of all the groups. Kansas City sent four representatives to the conference which was held at Independence. The representatives were chosen from the freshman group in order that their experience might be of value the next year. Filling and sending a treasure-chest to a Filipino schoolchild was the group's share in the national project of world friendship. Officers President . . . l'la.zel Croskey Vice-President . .

The Owaissa 'Staff Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience. This is station K.C.J.C. broadcasting its program of events and personalities for the school year 1929-1930, through the Owaissa. Although we broadcast only once annually, the program will en- dure for a long, long time, We hope. And We, the staff ofthe Cwaissa, hope that you will tune in often in the years to come- If you enjoy our production at this, its first showing, rest assured that you will get pleasure from it in some distant day when it is the only tangible reminder of the days at K.C. on the Kawf, It is with great pleasure that we present to you this partial record of one year of your school life. We hope you will remember that it is in your estimate ofthis sixth edition ofthe Owaissa that we look for our success. V V The Qwaissa was published under such difhculties this year that the faculty moved its publication be discontinued. The decision, which rests with the student body, still hangs in the balance. But if this is to be the last edition, please regard it as the climax of a series of publications, rather than the last step in a failing under- taking. It is the small size ofthe student body, and its limited time for such Work that 'make the continued publication of the Owaissa inadvisable. X Page Twenty-szx
