OPEN HOUSE COMINC UP MAY 1
The 401h Annual Open House Program will be held at SUATI
on Friday, May 1, and Saturday, May 2, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The Open House program had been held in February until
approximately two years ago, when it was changed to May, i
The change to May enables
the many departments and cur-riculums
of SUATI to utilize the
additional time in order to get
their displays ready.
In the past, when SUATI was
mainly an agricultural school,
it was the intention and purpose
of the Open House Program to
plan exhibits that would be help-ful
in solving the problems of
the groat number of people in-terested
in agriculture and hor-ticulture.
Today, however, the
Open House Program may be
considered as possessing two im-portant
aims: first, as a guid-ance
experience for students,
both present and prospective,
and their parents; second, as a
placement function to encourage
industrial representatives to fa-miliarize
themselves with the
programs of SUATI and the
benefits they can receive from
them.
On Saturday afternoon, at
12:30, there will be an Open
House Luncheon at which fac-ulty
representatives and student
c o u n c i l representatives will
serve as hosts and hostesses.
The Director and the Council
of SUATI invite to this luncheon
people to be recognized for their
relationships and services to the
Institute.
Invitations for Open House
have been sent to all high school
guidance people with the inten-tion
of stimulating interest in
Open House and encouraging at-tendance.
Prof. Beauvais and the mem-bers
of his committee hold the
responsibility for the organiza-tion
of reception and information
center's to accommodate visi-tors.
The Tech building will
be staffed with department and
faculty members to talk to stu-dents
and parents and to ans-wer
their questions.
As a special item of the Ag-ricultural
program, there will be
a field day arranged by faculty
members of the Ag. department,
for high school students. Ap-proximately
400 high school stu-dents
of agriculture take part
in this phase of the program.
Because of the nature of some
of the curriculums at SUATI,
there can be regular recruit-ment
programs by industry. At
Open House in May, there are
approximately eleven companies
that will be represented. These
companies will affect about 10
curriculum majors. This is the
second year that SUATI has had
members of industry come to
Open House with the possibility
of placement of students after
graduation.
The attendance at Open House
is an item of interest. There
have been as many as sixteen
and seventeen thousand people
at Open House in the two days.
Last year, because of the in-clement
weather, there were ap-proximately
thirteen or fourteen
thousand people in attendance.
The exhibits at Open House
are handled by SUATI students.
T h e Thursday before Open
House this year will be spent
in final preparation of the dis-plays
and exhibits. Although not
all students will actually be in
charge of an exhibit, they will
all work for Open House in one
way or another. No matter
what sort of a function they
perform, they will be assisting
in the successful presentation of
the 40th Annual Open House
Program.

Ramber, as well as the many
other clubs and service organi-zations
on campus has elected
the people to fill the head posi-tions
for the 1959-1960 school

worker for Rambler and New-man

the capable hands of these edi-tors

Leadership Training Pri^am
The leadership club started last year as an aid to the officers
of the respective clubs on campus. It is designed to train and
teach these new officers how to lead their clubs.
Last year's president, Bill Welk, summed it up this way in
the first meeting: "Everyone here is a leader. Being a leader
puts on your shoulders the job of not only fulfilling your mission,
but of fulfilling the mission of those you lead."
Student Council and I.C.C., with the help of the interested
faculty, have initiated this student program. It is conducted
on a voluntary basis. Student Council and I.C.C. fully realize
the need for such a program. Being a two-year college, a leader-ship
program is an excellent idea for the simple reason we do
not have the advantages of four-year colleges in continuity. We
also have an acute problem in terms of stimulating school spirit
and developing student interest.
The leadership training program has a list of suggestions
which should aid all clubs in getting more working members:
1. Good communication between clubs.
2. New membership orientation.
3. Strive to give every member a personal satisfaction in
belonging to the group.
4. Distribute responsibility among all members.
5. Explain club objectives. Appoint chairman of committees
that are best suited for the job.
6. Plan programs to please the members of your group.
7. Leave spaces in your committees and ask members to
bring a friend to fill these spaces.
Remember officers, this club is designed to help you; so
support it 100 per cent and you will benefit. This training program
is for you. As officers, it is your duty to your respective clubs
to get behind it and support it.
Frosh Weekend
Coming Soon
Plans for Freshmen Weekend
are just about complete. The
members of the Freshmen
Board are, at this very moment,
signing contracts and making
arrangements that will give you
the greatest Freshmen Week-end
that SUATI has ever seen.
The Freshman Prom will be at
the beautiful Shore Country Club
in Long Beach, on May 22. The
year's greatest semi-formal will
cost only six dollars and will
run from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
You may wonder why the
Prom is being held on Friday
night. We are not at liberty to
say right now, but the Frosh
Board promises a big surprise.
It's not too far off, so get your
dates and starting saving your
money for the biggest event of
the school year!
