Leadership Courses j Anything? check
For Club Officers
Duo to the fact that we are a
two-year school, one of the ma-jor
problems of extra-curricular
activities in the school in main-taining
continuity of clubs. It
is believed that a cause of the
absence of this quality is that
the students entering the Insti-tute
and those in their first year
are inexperienced in organiza-tion
and leadership of clubs.
To meet this problem and to
step in the direction of its de-feat,
the Institute Council of
Clubs has decided to sponsor
Leadership Courses. Mr. Wal-lace,
of the General Education
Department, will act as advisor
and resource man for these
courses. The seniors of the In-stitute
who have been active in
various clubs will help familiar-ize
student leaders with the
woritings of the Institute and
suggest ways of operating and
organizing.
All organizations at the Insti-tute
should elect Freshmen offi-cers
by the end of March so
that the newly elected President
and Vice President will bo able
to attend the throe, two-hour
long meetings that will be held
on Tuesday nights, April 29,
May 6, and May 13.
The meetings of the Leader-ship
Training Course will be
held as informal discussions
where the new officers can give
and take helpful information.
Dr. Medesy and Dean Willen-brock
will be present at these
discussions to assist in inform-ing
and suggesting. Refresh-ments
will be served at the close
of the discussions.
Perhaps this is not the most
important but certainly an im-portant
step in bettering the ex-isting
and promoting the poten-tial
much needed clubs and or-ganizations
at the Institute. All
newly elected Freshmen officers
will find this Leadership Train-ing
Course most helpful in the
effective running and main-taining
of Institute Clubs.

He Wants Jazz
PROHIBITION HOP!

has announced the dance

entertaining of the year! A
ROARING 20's C O S T U ME
BALL!
It will be held in Knapp Hall
at 8:30, March the 15th and the
password to this evening of fun

DEAR RAMBLER,
I dare you to print this letter, pi^ppg^.
Why doesn't somebody get'
smart around here and have a
Jazz Concert on this campus?
I've been dying to hear some
really great jazz, but all my
room mate plays are long play-ing
records of bird calls.
I don't see why an organiza-tion
like the Liatins couldn't
stage a Jazz Cancert. They al-ways
seem to know what's what.
Nobody's using Knapp Hall on
Saturday, March 22, at 8:30.
Why not have it then. They could
hire a new combo and serve free
refreshments.
But they probably won't. No-body
ever does anything I say.
Why I bet you won't even print
this letter.
Signed,
DISGRUNTLED
A free ticket to the Senior
Prom will be given to the best

Prohibition Hop! Let every
shiek bring his Sheba and show
us all how to rock!
