SAGA for 1928 11 ACULTY-If the lot of first-year students in a first-year college is hard, the lot of the faculty members is harder still. Nevertheless, Long Beach Jun- ior College teachers subordinated their troubles and devoted themselves to solving those of the students. The faculty roster reads: mathematics- Karl Heilman and Dwight F. Windenburgg social science-Dr. Dwight C. Baker, Harold Seal, Charles W. jackson, and Albert Small, physical science-Miss Lena Higgins, Miss Lena Mainord, Dr. Mabel Lewis Roe, john F. Mangold, and Charles T. Phipps, languages-Miss Jessie L.

The special committee of curriculum revision compiled the Junior College Manual and Outline of Courses in time to meet the needs of mid-year entrants. Outlines of nineteen undergraduate certificate courses were in- cluded. Complete provision was made for the requirements of the University of Cali- fornia, Stanford, and the more liberal East- ern colleges. Members of this committee were Dr. Bush, Miss Carpenter, Miss Dun- can, Miss Higgins, Miss Rau, Miss Wallace, Miss Williams, Dr. Baker, Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Phipps. Each member of the second committee, the advisory board, has been assigned a sec- tion of the student body to counsel in mat- ters pertaining to vocation, choice of studies, and scholarship. Registration of present students for next semester was directed by the advisers. This group con:isted of Chairman C. W. jackson, Miss Carpenter, Miss Dun- can, Miss Higgins, Miss Olsen, Miss Rau, Miss Wallace, Miss Weary, Dr. Baker, Mr. Greenup, Mr. Heilman, Mr. Phipps, and Mr. Seal.

DMINISTRATION - The Long Beach junior College has surpassed in first-year enrollment all similar institutions in the United States, under the able administration of john L. Lounsbury, principal, Dr. Ralph Bush, dean, Miss Mat- tie Paine, dean of women, Miss Alta Wil- liams, counselor-registrar, and Miss Pearle Trauger, secretary to the dean. The total enrollment is at present six hundred and seventy-three students, while one hundred and seventy-five were actually turned away. High school records came to the Junior Col- lege from twenty-eight different states, two foreign countries, and the Philippine Islands. Two types of curricula are offered to the students: a certificate course for those hav- ing twelve to fifteen high school recommend- ing credits and expecting to attend some university at the end of two years, and a diploma and vocational course for students having less than twelve accepted credits and intending to enter business and professional life. ' Among the courses listed for the certifi- cate student are pre-legal, pre-medical, pre- engineering, pre-teacher training, commerce and administration, general liberal arts, for the diploma student-secretarial, general business, home economics, pre-nursing, jour- nalism, practical engineering, practical ar- chitectural, music, art, general liberal arts, and transfer. This transfer course is a vital part of the curriculum. If a student wishes to pursue a profession and has not a sufficient number of recommended grades to take the certificate course, he may, through the transfer course, fulfill college entrance requirements. When his recommended grades have reached the requisite number, he is enrolled in the regu- lar certificate course. Varied opportunities for cultivating, with adequate guidance but student responsibility, the social and recreational side of college life have been approved by the administrative staff in order to encourage leadership. The policy of thefadministration has been to encourage student government. The col- lege, unified into an Associated Student Body, chooses its officers, who, subject to the approval of a faculty member, direct the affairs of the institution. This opportunity for the development of initiative constitutes one of the most important debts of college students to the administration.

SSOCIATED STUDENT BODY- At one of the first meetings in the history of the Long Beach Junior College Robert Dickinson, Catherine Wood, Pete Archer, Jack Lewis, Lionel Lewis, Helen Pomeroy, and Richard Clemmer were ap- pointed to draw up a constitution for the organization of an associated student body. The result of their efforts was accepted with a few minor changes. Electing Robert Dickinson president, Susan Bond vice-president, Catherine Wood secre- tary, Ted Russell treasurer, Yvonne Ander- son representative of arts, William Davis representative of athletics, jean Wood repre- sentative of the student body at large, and Ernest Denning editor of the Figurehead, the Associated Student Body launched into its first semester early in October. Under the experienced leadership of Charles W. jackson, adviser, the Cabinet carried out the specific provisions of the adopted constitu- tion. A student body ticket was issued during the fall term, entitling the holder to mem- bership in the A. S. B., a subscription to the Figurehead, admission to all inter-league sports, fifty per cent reduction on all student body productions, and discount on all student body activities not otherwise men- tioned. The ticket is also interchangeable with the ticket of the Woodrow Wilson High School. The Cabinet decrees that no student may participate in any activity representing the student body nor be a member of any organization drawing money from the A. S. B. funds unless he holds such a ticket. Tick- ets are not transferable. For the second semester the officers re- mained unchanged, except that Nellie De Witte was elected editor of the Figurehead and Tom Vasey- representative of the student body. Directed by Sam Gates, a committee on traditions, consisting of Chairman Walter Miller, Hugh Linnell, Claude Stevens, Flor- ence Mitchell, Dorothea Bell, Edith Badger, and Mary Miller Kress, worked out a system by which Freshman traditions and those for the college at large might be developed and enforced. The first week of school in Septem- ber was set aside as Rally Week, and a varied program of activities was detailed. A man-
