Beginning with 1934 summer session, advanced. us well as freshman and sophomore Courses are be- ing Utrered. A program of four years college work will be continued in the afternoon and evening col- lege in the San Jacintg building in the fall of 1934. However, to fulfill its functions more adequately, another branch of the University, to be known as HThe General College, will be established. This college will prOVide the educaltional Opportunities listed abOVe as reasons three and four for the es- tablishment of the University. The General College is being planned as a day college introduCing to me Dupils a new type of col. lege Curriculum providing a comprehensive survey or OVerview of the aetivities and problems or man- kind- It is being designed not as a school to trans- mit and advance knowledge, alone hm to utilize knoWledge or facts, prinCiples, laws and essential human attitudes related to the study and possible soIUtiun of problems of modern life. The courses will he developed to provide two years of callpge work of this broader type in place of the usiml fragmentary specialization courses. Specialization wiu be postponed almost to the last two years Of mllege.

This Understanding is casential for intelligent Citizens whether they choose to be doctors, lawyers.

The two yours Hpncml College work my h:- mnsidered unit courses complete within themselves. since they provide a training not dependent on pro- requisites or 0n the completion of mlvancvd courses later. First your chemistry. for example, as given in most college courses, may be of little value to the average citizen. the lawyer, business man. or other worker. Such a course is planned as the first course for the spacialist in chemistry and is offered to every student at large. The same is true of many present day college courses. The courses of the Gen- eral Cullege dcsCribcd here. however. are being dc- Veloped not as a training field for specialists. but as a training field for intelligt'llt citizens.

It is planned particularly for the following types of students: 1. Those who wish to secure a broad intellectual training as a basis for later specialization. -. Those who wish to spend two years or less in college. 3. Those who might not be accepted by other ool- leges because of lack of preparation for spee- ialized fields and who wish to demonstrate their ability and make up deficiencies. 4. Those who, for financial or other reasons. wish to remain at home. 0. Those who can not expect to profit from the variety of specialized courses otIered in the usual college program. It is a well known fact that in some colleges more than one-half of the students fail because they cannot master the technicalities of these highly specialized courses. PLAN OF THE COLLEGE Each student will have the opportunity of three periods per week of class work in each of the four major fields. For intensive study, research, and in- dividual instruction and guidance. in addition to these class periods, each student will be assigned to a small laboratory group in each major field, u group consisting of about ten students. Instructors will work with each of these small groups, joining in the discussions. giving individual attention and suggestions, Outlining the work, and evaluating the results. In addition, the elective subject will require the usual three hours in recitation. Such guided study and individual uitl allows ample time for phys- ical recreation activities. such us Swimming, tennis. golf. etc. a 4:: N. K. Duprc Mrs. Pearl C. Bender Fred R. Birney Sam L.

This group sponsored the first banquet to be given by the graduating class, of what IS no more a Junior College. The toastmaster 0f the banquet was George Lewis.

Club Ellilur Cougar THE HOUSTONIAN Overcoming all handicaps, members of the two journalism classes have written. edited and published this, the first annual of the Houston Junior College, and have dedicated it to the new University of Houston. In only two weeks9 time, the staff was organized, pictures taken, copy prepared. and the entire book engraved and printed. This marks a record in annual publica- tion in Houston schools. This book, selling for only seventy five cents, is given to the students at a record low price. And for an annual such as The lloustonian to be entirely prepared within the short period of only two weeks is also setting a new record. t Credit for this accomplishment goes to all members of the staff of the annual, but especially to Jane Neville, Editor-in-Chief; Carolyn Rosenberg, Associate Ed- itor; Evert Rogers, Technical Advisor; and Fred R. Birney, journalism instruc- tor and Sponsor of The Houstonian. THE COUGAR Officially, the Cougar, semi-monthly newspaper of the University, has for the past seven years been the only publication issued regularly carrying news of the faculty and students of the school. The students enrolled in journalism edit and manage all departments of the Cougar. Publication of the Cougar serves two purposes. It provides laboratory facilities for practical training for journalism students and at the same time carries the news of the activities of the school to the entire student body. Mr. Fred R. Birney, instructor in journalism, is in charge of the management of the Cougar and selects all members of the staff from the journalism classes. Se- lection of students is based upon the individual ability of the person concerned. The staff of the Cougar is composed of: Mary Elizabeth Horan. Editor; Jane Neville, Associate Editor; Carolyn Rosenberg, News Editor; Elamey Fisher, Fea- ture Editor; H. S. Page, Humor Editor; Lois Cehhart, News Editor; and Helen Crate, Society Editor.

Mrs. Bessie Ebaugh and Mrs. John R. Bender, have done much this year to further their purpose as an organization which sponsors m-Imol activities. Among the various social events. which they haw promoted this year an- in- cluded their tea at the home of Mrs. Ebuugh, December 10; the Vice-Versa Dum-e given in the gymnasium; and a banquet for the girlsi basketball team. Officers of the club are as follows: Lou Gaines, President; Nelda Eaves, Vice- President: Margie Cheek Coggan, Secretary; and Lucy Grady, Treasurer. This club is planning to continue its good work as a womanis organization next year and function in the new University. GIRLS' OUTDOOR CLUB The Girls9 Outdoor Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Irene Spiess, aims to promote fellowship between the girls of the school by helping them find outside in- terest in the outdoor sports and by fostering good sportsmanship. This club aids the school because good health and perfect grades go hand-in-hand. These girls who strive for good health by spending a large part of their spare tinu- out of doors find that it is easier to really study. Over the week-end of April 28-29. the club entertained with a bay party at Casa Del Mar. The officers of the club are: Dorothy Golden, President, and Evelyn Lewis. Sev- rotary-Treasurer.

ORATORICA L ASSOCIATION The H.J.C. Oratorical Association, coached by Mr. Harris, is composed of all the people interested in public speaking. This organization has been instrumental in making the school known in the field of debate. The school has participated in eight debates, having lost only two. During the year elimination contests were held on each question. thus giving each member an opportunity to represent the College in intercollegiate debates. Among those who represented the college in debate were: Edith Lord Carlton. Josephine Fastenrath, Allen Marshall, Tommy Cooksey, Louis Ehlers, and William Stanford. This organization combines the features of each variety of debating society to produce something both unusual and helpful to the students of the College. GUILD SAVANT The Guild Savant has for its aim the promotion of all University activities. It encourages a high standard of ethics and fellowship among its members, and it assists the University in all undertakings. One of the important roles of the Guild is to attain a better relationship between students and faculty. The 1933-34 term was a most successful one for the Guild. It sponsored six dances during the terms for the enjoyment of the students and faculty. It gave its untiring aid to the Freshmen and Sophomores so that their dances might be great- er successes. This organization also assisted in making the Reeeption for the high school seniors one of the best yet held. The omeers of this well-known and much respected club are: Roy Miller, Presi- dent; Ed Boyle, Vice-President; Bill Best, Treasurer; and George Meets. Sergeant- at-Arms. It is hoped that this Guild will continue its good work and function in the new Universitv as it has in history of the Junior College. JOHN R. BENDER DRAMATIC CLUB The John R. Bender Dramatic Club, under the direction of Prof. L. S. Mitchell. has been instrumental in giving the University some very fine rntertaimnent in tha- way of plays. The members are: Bill Stanford, President; Marjorie Willke. Vico-Presidvnt: Jum- Learned, Secretary; Algerine Allen. Mildred Blair, Larry Bynum. Ed Chernosky.

BASKET BALL TEAM Miss Irene Spiessi girl eagers have done much this year to raise the estimation of the basketball fans for the Junior College team. On February I3 they heat the Southern Paeilie team by a score of 52 to 21. Although they lost their second game of the season to the W. T. Grant sextet by a score of 19 to 10, there was no slacking up. The entire team put up a goml light during the whole of the season. At a banquet given in honor of the girls by the Cougar Collegians, the following girls were presented with gold medals as a reward for their hartl-earned victories: Alice Claire Luekel, Winnie Allen, Lou Gaines. Maizie Lyle, Mrs. Edith Carlton. Avis Carks, Jo Meda Parks and Jen E. Wait. JUNIOR COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY TEAM This year's ice hockey team, although in its second year of organization. was only in its first of active participation. Upsetting all premeditation 0n the subject. the new team came through with Hying colors to win its first game. It continued unbeaten through the end of the season. Because of an incomplete schedule, the city championship was forfeited. The team, which had only one second year man, showed admirable form. Their playing was consistent, as well as fast, on the ice. Led by their captain. Ed Cher- nosky, the team knocked the puck around for scores that. in the. end. mounted up. They had three points for every one of their opponents. Irwin led the high point men, followed closely by Franks. and Chernuslty. with Burns taking a close fourth place.
