Jumping the gun, the PIONEER recalls a few of the milestones of higher edu¬ cation as they were way back when. ★ ★ ★ FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH — The annual spring rites — to blow off steam —dates back to Circus Day in the Thirties. May 9-13 western garb and gingham dresses with sunbonnets were the official attire. The Colt revolv¬ ers in the holsters are usually sealed. ★ ★ ★ STUDENTS IN UNIFORM — The most tightly regimented and dedicated young intellectuals on campus are the men and women of the nursing corps. Nuns and men are also included in this exclusive LRJC program on the College campus. ★ ★ ★ MISCELLANEOUS—Explorations into the minds of college students can be shocking as well as revealing. Biologist Ann Russell probes the malaise of the season, and Worrier John McCarthy tabulates his frustrations. In addition, The Inquiring Reporter collected some views among veterans on the subject of the draft. ★ ★ ★ APOLOGIES AND THANKS — With only ten busy students to record the events of the semester and various other limitations, the staff reminds readers to understand why the PIONEER does not resemble LIFE Magazine too closely. With new journalism students arriving in the fall and with renewed enthusi¬ asm from the old, we look for improve¬ ment next issue. Meanwhile, thanks to those who helped us in this effort.

A current controversy concerning the Tower and the Administration Building (of which it is a part) is whether the entire structure is going to crumble in an earthquake or whether it should be razed or merely reinforced to meet the specifications of the Field Act. LRJCboard members, other legal authorities, and the State Legislature are involved in the state-wide dilemma of what to do about school buildings constructed before 1933.

Founded 1916 Golden Jubilee Anniversary For Capital College A HAPPY MARRIAGE of fifty years duration between Sacramento’s community college and the Capital City. Founded in 1916 in a wing of Sacramento Senior High School at 18th and K Streets, the local two-year institution of higher learning, one of the oldest in the State and in the nation, moved to 34th and W Streets, location for six years of class instruction. In 1925, the cornerstone for the pres¬ ent campus on Freeport Blvd. was laid. And in 1961 the word Junior” was dropped from its official name. As of July, 1965, Sacramento City College was incor¬ porated into the new legal entity of the Los Rios Junior College District, which embraces all or parts of three counties. No longer the orphan” of a lar ge city school system, SCC now has the financial resources—as well as the human resources of excellent instructors—to meet the cur¬ rent and future challenges of great numbers of students, including returning military veterans and other adults bound for more higher education and vocational training. To help meet these needs, many physical changes are presently on the drawing boards calling for the razing of buildings and the construction of new structures on the 52 acre campus. Next fall the student body will number over 8000 in day and evening classes under the tutelage of about 250 instructors. Before inaugurating the next era of another fifty years of progress, SCC will pause to observe its Golden Jubilee with a civic program next fall. In the years ahead, City College will continue to serve the community and its thou¬ sands of students in many ways—culturally and vocational¬ ly—in the professions, in business, and in industry.
