■By now
all you students who signed up to play either bridge or
[•pong
in the first annual  Bridge and  Ping-Pong Tournament are
in "friendly" competition at the Merry-Go-Round.
Ijhe Merry-GorRound Committee decided that this year, instead
Ling the usual bridge tournament, they would set up a tourna-
i in which more of the students could participate in the activities
i Merry-Go-Round during their lunch hours.    Since some of the

Rajesters Choose
Spring Production
Tryouts are now in progress for
the annual all-college spring play
to be produced by the Rajesters.
The group has chosen Holiday, by
Philip Barry, a comedy-romance
in three acts. The play will be
presented March 20.
Scenes of this sophisticated social comedy take place in the
Seton household. Characters to
appear are: Edward Seton, dictatorial father of the wealthy family; Julia, the beautiful daughter
who follows her father's wishes;
Linda, who disagrees with her
father and usually does as she
pleases; Ned, the obedient son
and "tippler" of the family; Nick
and Susan Potter, friends of Linda,
who are definite loafers; Laura
and Seton Cram, the kind of relatives that all families would like
tc forget; Johnny Case, one corner of the eternal triangle and
the lover of Julia; and the servants, Henry, Charles, and Delia.
U. Awards Degrees
Four Rochester and six area
students of the University of Minnesota were awarded degrees at
the University's fall commencement
exercises in the Northrop Memorial auditorium on the Minneapolis campus . Three of these people were former J. C. students.
Neil Sandberg received his bachelor of science from the College
of Education. Richard Maass
was granted a Master of Arts in
psychology by the Graduate
School, and Allen Wiese of Eyota
received his Master of Science in
agronomy from the Graduate
School.

Rajuco Takes Form
As Plans Progress
Development of the '51-'52 Rajuco seems to be coming along
just fine according to Mary Hanson and Dolores Stoltenberg, co-editors from the sophomore and freshman classes, respectively. Progress
on this year's book began back on November 15, and up to the present date three multiples have already been prepared for the printers.
uRO'Dclll      rOrHlcll The first multiPle' consisting of eight pages, was completed and
sent in on December 14, while the second and third multiples, consisting of twice as many pages (sixteen to be exact) have been completed and sent to the printers to meet the deadline of January 19.
Like yearbooks of the past; this year's will again consist of three
sections, one for each quarter, fall, winter, and spring. However, a
number of interesting new ideas have been added by this year's staff
to mak it even better than before.
Enchants Guests
R. J. C.'s winter formal, "Sno
Ball," was held at the Valencia
Ballroom Tuesday, December 18,
1951, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. One
hundred fifty couples attended,
and everyone enjoyed himself, as
beautiful girls in formals danced
with their handsome escorts to the
strains of music presented by
Henry Burton and his band.
The "V" was enchantingly decorated with glittering snow flakes,
holly, and snowmen. The dance
programs were very appropriately in the form of a snowball, made
of cotton. Refreshments wefe
served throughout the evening.
The Social Committee, under
the direction of Mrs. Bock, had
charge of the formal. Mary Han-
con is chairman of the committee, and her committee, including
Katie Brown, Bob Toddie, Jack
Williams, Beverly Kesler, Cleon
Reemsnyder, and Diane Lockwood
all helped to make this dance a
huge success.
Evening College
Offers Courses
In Homemaking
The Rochester Evening Community College just recently announced the schedule of home-
making courses to be offered this
winter and spring. The courses
offered are: Beginning Knitting,
which will provide instruction in
the basic skills necessary for knitting; Pattern Cutting and Design,
a   course   in   advanced   clothing
Martha Erickson reports that
they have added a new twist in
the sophomore section and are
now putting six pictures to the
page and in slant form. Martha
also states, "There will be quips,
as usual, but different in that they
will be better than ever before."
Carolyn Schmeling, head of the
section on winter quarter activities, says, "Photos of the winter
prom are to be added this year."
"This," Carolyn goes on to say,
"is due to the fact that the Rajuco
photographers have never been
as well organized as they are at
present."
Dolores Stoltenberg informs us,
"A much better cover and a bind-
ng which is much stiffer is being
construction; Basic Food Prepara
tion, a course covering the why's        Tr   r." " .'■ /   .      i ^ i"

Panel on Korea
Held at I. ft C.
At a luncheon meeting of the
I. R. C. Club Tuesday, January
8th, Harry Wernecke led a discussion on Korea. The two issues
brought out were what to do with
prisoners of war after peace is
attained, and the current situation
in Korea. A few suggestions on
the problem of the war prisoners
were: ship them back; send them
to Formosa; keep them in Korea
for the purpose of rehabilitation.
The'communists apparently do not
want peace because they are repairing and building air bases,
and at the peace conferences they
amuse themselves by reading
magazines.
and how's of cooking and meal
planning; Table Setting and Service, a course which includes the
study of china, silver, glassware,
centerpieces and linen in acceptable use today.
Several sewing classes are also
being offered: Beginning Sewing,
Intermediate S'ewing, Advanced
Sewing, Beginning Tailoring, and
Advanced Tailoring. Slip Covers
and Draperies is another nine-
week course which provides training in making slip covers, draperies, bedspreads, and dressing
table skirts. Upholstering is a
twelve-week course being offered.
Wood accessories, a course for
beginners, provides the training
in care of tools and making simple projects. Beginning
Leather Accessories, and Advanced Leather Accessories are also
being offered at the Evening College.    .
to give it a better appearance on
your bookshelf."
Joyce Stolp claims that even
the section on administration is
going to have a slight change this
year. "There will again be portrait photos of the faculty along
with candid shots, but instead of
having the candid shots inserted
into the portraits, a newer and
better arrangement has been
found."
Other students, not mentioned
above, who are also on this year's
Rajuco staff are: Harriett Gilbert,
Ann Christenson, Gerry Kennedy,
Shirley Hanson, Orrine Johnson,
Margaret McConnell, Joan Books,
Janice Wees, Alice Dodge, Janet
