Mr. William E. Schneider made several comments in welcoming the delegates and made it clear that Highaeres was at their service during their two-day stay here. Workshops were held on Friday evening, November 4 and on Saturday morning, November 5 to try to work out the problems of a permanent organization and to set up a working organization. The first day’s program was climaxed by an informal dance and “mixer.” The discussion groups included the following: Constitution Formulation and organization of a Congress of Pennsylvania Junior Colleges and writing of a constitution for the Congress; Levi Kishbaugh, chairman ; Donata Matteo, co-chairman. Publications and Services —• Planning the nature of Congress publications and deciding what services the office of the Congress shall provide its membership; Robert Zelnick, chairman; Paul Miller, co-chairman.

Delegates in general seemed quite impressed with the outcome of the conference. An executive board was elected. The members certainly seem quite responsible ones. Executive Board Thomas J. Kidd (Hazleton), Executive Sec retary; Charles Hostetler (Her shey), President; Robin Blakeslee (Dubois), President-elect; Wil liam Morgan (Hazleton), Vice president; Bernadine Vota (Mt. Aloysius), Secretary-treasurer. Credit is forthcoming to Mr. Kidd for his excellent handling of the whole affair and his demonstrated leadership during the course of the final plenary session. This prompted visiting delegates to nominate him by acclamation to handle the affairs of the Congress for the remainder of the academic year when a successor would be chosen. The Collegian takes this opportunity to give credit where it is due. Workshop leaders reported that most of the visiting delegates were most cooperative, and this accounted for a successful conference. A meeting of the executive board is scheduled for later in November and is expected to stimulate the progress made by this conference in developing better and more cooperation among the Junior Colleges throughout Pennsylvania.
