Protocol to Be Topic
Of State Department Speaker
Mr. Pedro Sanjuan, Director of
the Special Protocol Section of
the State Department, will speak
to the International Relations
Club of SMJC on Monday, April
1, 3:30 p.m., in the Science Lec-turt
Room.
Mr. Sanjuan's speech topic,
“Protocol,” is the objective of his
State Department position, for
the duties of the Special Proto­col
Section include an assurance
of dignified treatment for all
diplomats and foreign visitors in
the United States. The State De­partment
has recently been con­cerned
with the civil rights con­troversies
in our country, as this
problem remains one of the
“stumbling blocks in our foreign
relations.”
Thus, Mr. Sanjuan recently ad­dressed
the Maryland State Leg-
Assembly in favor of Civil Rights
legislation. Mr. Sanjuan is the
first State Department Official to
address not only a legislative as­sembly,
but also a county coun­cil,
and a state constitutional con­vention.
Each of his speaking ap­pearances
has been at the re­quest
of state and municipal
authorities.
Civil Bights Legislation
Likewise, he worked on the
Route 40 equal accommodations
legislation in Maryland and simi­lar
legislation in Delaware, Ten­nessee,
and Virginia, including
work on a fair housing law for
the District of Columbia.
He spent the years between
1956 and 1959 in the United
States Navy. Post-graduate work
in Russian Studies at Harvard
qualified Mr. Sanjuan as special
Russian instructor to the United
States Naval Attache to Moscow,
interrupting his training as a
Naval flier. Other Naval assign­ments
included work in the Soviet
desk of the office of Naval In­telligence
in Washington and
stall duty in Frankfurt am Main,
Germany. Russian is not the only
language which Mr. Sanjuan
speaks fluently. He can speak
Spanish, French, and German and
also handle Bulgarian, Portuguese,
Italian, and Serbo-Croatian.
Carroll Jump, a sophomore at
St. Mary’s Junior College, has
1 been chosen to represent SMJC
in Glamour magazine’s “Ten Best
Dressed College Girls” contest for
1963. Glamour will single out
those ten college girls from Can­ada
and the United States who,
on the basis of their contest en­tries,
are the most poised, at
tractive, and fashionable of the
the collegiate set.
Entries for the contest include
three on-campus photographs of
the candidates: in casual clothes
suitable for college class wear;
in a Sunday or date dress with
appropriate accessories such as
gloves, hat ,and well chosen pieces
of jewelry; and in a full-length
evening gown such as the candi­date
would wear to a formal
college prom.
Carroll’s formal gown choice
was of woven Hong Kong silk
with an intricately embroidered
gold leaf pattern placed sym­metrically
on a vivid and deep-hued
green-turquoise background.
Gold shoes and Carroll’s own
golden blond medium length hair
picked up the gold accents of
the gown.
Qualifications
Along with the submitted pho­tographs
and additional facts
about each candidate, Glamour
judges recheck the requirements
by which each candidate was
originally chosen in a campus
popular vote. Well-kept hair,
impeccable grooming, good figure
and the candidate’s clear under­standing
of her fashion type, are,
for instance, several of the quali­ties
by which the judges will rate
each candidate.
The “Top ten,” will be flown
to New York City in June and
will be featured in a special sec­tion
of Glamour’s ’63 August Col­lege
Issue. Besides the top ten
prizes, several honorable mention
awards will be given. Miss Judy
Peper, a 1961 graduate of St.
Mary’s, won such an honor.

Freshmen Initiate
Endowment Fund
On January 28, 1963, a fresh­man
committee was appointed by
the Campus Council to initiate
a Student Endowment Fund Plan
for St. Mary’s Junior College. The
members of the committee are
Mary Louise Courtney, Ainsley
Lloyd, Abell Longmore, Kathy
McKenna, Betsy Reeves, Jean
Schauber, and John Slade. The
committee chairman is Sue Faunt-leroy,
and the sponsors are Miss
Simms and Mr. Yarborough.
A Student Endowment Fund is
a loan fund supported by Stu­dent
contributions for the bene­fit
of the students. Each stu­dent
is requested to pay a nomin­al
fee each semester. This money,
in turn, will be kept in an account
separate from school funds. Half
of the money may be handled by
the alumni or a student committee
to make loans to students. The
other funds may be handled by
the faculty, working with the
County Board of Education, for
the purpose of awarding scholar­ships.
Nationwide Idea
The idea for the fund came
from Mrs. Nita Tullier of Biloxi,
Mississippi. She initiated such a
fund at the University of South­western
Louisiana in 1924. Since
that time, her alma mater has
accumulated approximately $460,-
000 to be used for student loans
and scholarships.
The St. Mary’s committee is
currently gathering information
from colleges which have suc­cessful
endowment programs. This
information will serve as a guide
for establishing a plan at SMJC
If approved by faculty and stu­dents
in May of 1963, the Stu­dent
Endowment Fund will go
into effect the following Sept­ember.
Slade Wins Contest
John Slade is the winner of
the annual TIME magazine cur­rent
affairs test, sponsored by the
International Relations Club of
the college in conjuntion with
TIME’S educational program.
John chose Roget’s THESAUR-AUS
as his contest prize.
