which recognizes student opinion,
12 juniors and seniors have been
nominated to represent Central in
this year's "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities," according to an announcement from
the Office of Student Personnel.
The main purposes of "Who's
Who," which was established ten
years ago, are to give honor to
students who have worked to deserve recognition and to establish
a reference list of the capable students in the great body of American colleges and universities.
Resulting from a series of protests stating that the previous
method of designating those to be
nominated did not determine true
campus leadership, last year the
Policy,Formulating Council set up
a new system which has been put
into practice this year. At the assembly Thursday, sophomores, juniors, seniors and faculty were allowed to vote for not more than 12
students (Central's quota for this
year), from a master list.
This list included students who
were juniors or seniors with a
scholastic point average of 1.50 or
better from the following;

Freshman Enrollment Reveals
Presence of Icelander, Hawaiian
Miss Grace Ryan of the physical
and health education department
and three members of Health Education 315, Joan Muntz, Jean Chisholm, and Wanda Upham attended
the Michigan School Health association in Grand Rapids Friday, November 9.
An added highlight to the great
number of freshmen on campus
this fall, was the enrollment of
Ragnar Georgssoh of Iceland, and
Harold Patten of Hawaii.  ,
Georgsson, already- nicknamed
"Rocky" by, his new associates,
comes from Reykjavik, the capitol
city of Iceland. He state,ythat the
reason for his coming ""to Central
is that there are no teachers' colleges in Iceland/ and the Icelandic
legation in Washington recommended Central to him as an outstanding
school. u ■ „    .
After flyinf from Reykjavik to
New York CJity, he completed the
trip by raij:. This was a new experience to "Rocky," because there
are no drains in Iceland. This is
his firsfc visit to the States. Although/he studied English in both
high school and normal school, he
says he has learned more about
our language in the past few weeks
than he did in all his classwork. The
national language of Iceland is a
Scandinavian language called Icelandic, which closely resembles Norwegian. . '
Patton, who is from Hilo, Hawaii,
surprised' the majority of Central
students when he appeared on campus with very blond curly hair. He
also saw the States for the first
time a.few weeks ago. He came to
San Francisco by boat and then
to Central by train. He is on a
pre-law course, and chose Central
'on the recommendation of Lt. Danny Rose, former coach at Central,
who is- now stationed in Hawaii
'with the Navy.
