of the newest of the modern style
types.
Pictures and illustrations of all
sorts are going to be accented
heavily in the RANGER this year.
The goal of the staff is at least
one illustration in each issue.
Editor Howard and business
manager Raymond White wish to
urge every reader of the RANGER
to read the advertisements and
atronize those firms which ad-
vertise. The RANGER has been
placed under a handicap this year
by the refusal of the P. T. A. and

would be appointed about two
weeks after college starts to ap-
portion among the various activi-
ties the money received.
A compulsory student activity
fee of two dollars ($2.00) per
semester will be charged students
registering in Junior College this
year, for the first time after a
period of several years during
which no fee has been levied.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Two announcements were
made by Mrs. Harold London,
registrar, in regard to the open-
ing of school. She wishes to
emphasize upon students that
they are not registered until
their first payments are made.
She also asks that old students
turn in their grade books at the
office as soon as possible.

Approximately sixty students
and prospective students desiring
National Youth Administration aid
attended the first formal meeting
>f the Junior College NYA group,
Friday, September’ 10, in the as-
sembly room. The meeting was
presided over by Mr. Merrill Bish-
op, director of the Junior College
NYA division this year.
Applications will be considered
from the standpoint of financial
need, character, and scholastic
standing. Mr. Bishop has held
personal conferences with all the
applicants and explained the me-
thod of selection for this aid and
I the nature of the National Youth
Administration Plan.

Junior College boasts two addi-
tions to its faculty this fall—Mr.
Merrill Bishop, who succeeds Mr.
H. A. Albert as professor of educa-
tion, and Miss Agnes Morgan, who
takes Mr. F. C. Biesele’s place
on the mathematics staff.
Formerly assistant supervisor
of English teachers and libraries
in the San Antonio public schools,
Mr. Bishop assumes duties at Jay-
see the education instructor and
head of the National Youth Ad-
ministration students. His M. A.
degree is from the University of
Texas.
Miss Morgan, whose M. A. De-
gree is from Columbia University
in New York, taught math at
Brackenridge for one term, and,
previous to that, at Mark Twain
Junior High School for three terms.
Here she also teaches in the math-
matics department.
All the students have not as yet
been selected, but will be notified
after the routine of selection has
been completed by Mr. Bishop and
Mr. Nelson. Jobs which will be
assigned to the NYA students will
be much the same as those last
year, including office work, fac-
ulty assistance, YMCA help, and
/ork at the public library.
Some twenty or thirty students
were able to attend Junior College
last year because of this assistance.
The NYA is a division of the Fed-
eral Emergency Relief Adminis-
tration and its purpose is to aid
young people who want to go to
college and are willing to work
their way through school,
jobs to which NYA students can
)e assigned must be socially des-
rable and it is understood that
this is not relief work, but an ed-
ucational program of the federal
government.
Readers of the JUNIOR RANG-
ER can be assured of the best
RANGER published yet and the
most modern junior college paper
in the state, according to editor
Jack Howard. New style headline
type, more pictures, more news,
more dirt, less ads are on schedule
for this year.
The RANGER will especially
feature a more attractive headline
type this year. Heads will be in
Although, according to Director
Nelson, the exact percentage of
the money each activity will re-
ceive, has not been determined
yet receipts from the fee will
probably be used to finance
the newspaper, the debating team,
the basketball team, the yearbook,
and any other outside activity that
requires some money. Payment of
the fee will entitle student to a
RANGER subserpition, to free ad-
mission to the basketball games,
to part or whole payment on EL
ALAMO, and to free admission to
probably any and all theatrical
□reductions at J. C.
Mr. Nelson stated that

Enrollment at San Antonio Jun-
ior College this year is expected
to reach 325, and maybe go to
350, according to registrar Mrs.
London.
This estimate is based upon the
number of high school credits that
have already been transfered to
Junior College, plus the number
of students who have transferred
here from other colleges, plus the
number of last year’s students who
have not ordered a transcript of
their hours sent to some other
college. Last fall the registration
reached 315; the spring term en-
rolled but 285 students.
Judging from the transfer and
transcript slips already received,
Junior College will have a cos-
mopolitan student body. As usual,
there will be quite a number of
students from Thomas Jefferson,
Brackenridge, Alamo Heights, Ed-
ison, Lanier, Tech, South San An-
tonio, and Harlandale, in San An-
in addition, several stu-
dents will come from neighboring-
towns like Castroville, George
West, Pearsall, Luling, Stockdale,
and others. Mrs. London also re-
ports a student coming from a
Washington, D. C., high school; a
transfer from Southern Methodist
University in Dallas; several trans-
fers from Texas University; and
a student from California.
All students will register any
time from 8 to 5 on Friday and
Saturday. Members of the faculty
will be on hand to assist new and
old students in arranging their
courses.
Much, or most, of the fun to
be had during one’s life at J. C.
will be furnished by the various
clubs and organizations. No stu-
dent can attend J. C. without join-
ing at least one of the clubs, un-
less he is opposed to club life or
unless he takes no interest in the
school.
Every student, however, belongs
to the Student Association, which
is simply a high-sounding name
for the student body. This body
meets each Wednesday and dis-
cusses all student business and
The political pot will start
boiling early at J. C. this year.
Kemp Adams, successful Cow-
boy candidate for the presidency
of the Student Association, will
not return to J. C. this fall.
Three weeks after school let out
last June, president-elect Ad-
ams had his hours transferred
to Texas A. & M.
Kemp was elected over his
Senate-backed opponent, Bob
Sawtelle, by only a five-vote
margin in the Spring elections
last year. A successor to him
will be elected probably within
the next three weeks. Vice-
president Flo Brown will preside
at Student Association meeting
until a new prexy is elected.

o student life. The Student As-
>r four large social events each
rear. This year the Association
sociation usually sponsors three
begins the year without a presi-
dent, as president-elect Kemp Ad-
ams transferred to Texas A. & M.
Other officers are as follows: Flo
Brown, vice-president; Mary Belle
Hall, secretary, and Thad Weaver,
treasurer.
The Cowboys and the Senate, the
two rival boys clubs on the cam-
pus, will provide much amusement
for the school. Both clubs are
supposed to encourage debating
and literary accomplishment, but
the emphasis has been shifted to
(Continued to page 4.)

New front steps, new walks, and
new desks are among the improve-
ments obtained for J. C. this year
by a committee of the Junior Col-
lege P. T. A.
The new steps have already been
built, and they are constructed of
brick covered with concrete. These
steps replace the limestone steps
that were built when the schools
was, and which had become so
worn that many students found
them difficult to stand on. The
blocks at either end of the steps
were also worked over, the cracks
being filled with concrete.
Although work has not started
as yet, plans have been made to
alter those walks about the school
which are covered with water when
a heavy rain comes. Original
plans called for a layer of brick
on these low walks; the contrac-
tors seem to think that new walks
will be needed in some places.
Also the other walks will be re-
built or repaired; and the front
walk is going to be lengthened and
extended to reach to each of the
wo front steps.
New writing-arm desks have
been secured for Room 2 and other
rooms that are in need of extra
iesks.
All these improvements were ob-
tained by a P. T. A. committee
eaded by Mrs. R. H. Fairbanks,
and composed of Mr. Harold
Stuart, and Mr. Sawtelle.
