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

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.

Cne of the first things the members did was to buy caps of the college colors. These peppy stu- dents for, at least, the bright caps, were seen at every game. Some times their numbei s were few, but some sturdy souls always turned out, and their yells were never lacking in volume. At the end of the football season the club spon- sored a banquet for the football team. All the students of the College were asked to come, and the football men were the guests of the school. The banquet was a fitting climax to a successful season. The idea of the banquet was so Well re- ceived that it was repeated this spring at the close of the basketball season. The same plan of having the team be the guests of the school will be fo'llowed. The Pep Club alternated with the Y. VV. C. A in selling candy, The Pep Club sold it at the basket ball games, and at the sales on the Wooden cam- pus, At the regular meetings of the Club, plans for a constitution were made. If these plans are accepted the members of the Club Will, in the future, be selec- ted by a committee. b Officers President . . . Barbara Isbell Vice President Hylton Harman Secretary .
