Dean Speaks on
Charter Change
Dean Goddard, President of
the Rochester Charter Commission,
explained to the Rochester Ki-
wanis Club, during their weekly
meeting, the need to revise the
city charter.
"Eliminate duplication and
overlapping of departments and
boards, fix lines of administrative responsibility so that we can
find who is responsible for acts
of commission of omission, and
provide effective means of holding our public servants responsible." This statement was made
by the Dean in summarizing all
the governmental reform reports
and various surveys made.
The charter committee is fortunate in that they have the governmental reports and the Grif-
fenhagen study to work from.
Dean Goddard said that the entire revision would be presented
at one time to help the voter
know what he was voting for instead of presenting it amendment by amendment, where the
voter would have to vote on one
amendment without knowing the
provisions of the next.
The final draft of the revision
has not been drawn up as yet,
but will be submitted to the voters the first part of this year.

Rochester Junior College held its annual winter formal dance
on Friday, December 19, at the Valencia Ballroom. 'A large number of students, guests, and alumni danced to the music of Henry
Burton's orchestra from 9:00 to  1:00.
A Christmas tree, covered with angel hair and dramatized by
a spot light, revolved in the center of fhe floor. Overhead, blue
and white streamers ran diagonally from the sides to a circle over
the tree in the center. Small Christmas trees decorated the punch
table and the whole effect was. made complete by a bell be-decked
with white ribbons, holly and mistletoe which hung in the entrance
to the hall.
Mary Williams, Pat Cooper,
Frank Smith and Bill Adamscn developed the theme and decorated "Winter Wonderland" with
the assistance of the Poster Committee, Romayne McKnight, chairwoman, David Waldemar, Marilyn Nelson, Dick Kiefer, Clarice
Herzog, Marilyn Ernst, and Sher-
rill  Davies.
The Fall Social Committee set
the date for the prom and Sue
Blethen, of the fall social committee, made beginning preparations for the dance. The Winter
Social Committee, headed by
Tom Hennessey and Dan Ridler,
assisted by the other members of
the winter social committee, Mary
Williams, Janet Edwards, Sherrill
Davies, Frank Smith, Pat Cooper
and Bill Adamson, made and
completed final arrangements for
the dance.
Faculty chaperones, Mr. and
Mrs. Phillip Kortz and Mr. and
Mrs. Leonard Davis, were arranged for by Sherrill Davies, who
also was in charge of the refreshments which consisted of
punch and cookies. Janet Edwards was in charge of publicity
and ticket sales.
"Good Housekeeping," a three
act comedy, featuring a political
campaign and alive with good
dialogue, has been chosen the
spring play by the Dramatic Club.
The play, written by William Mc-
Cleery, will be presented on
March 20, under the direction of
Miss Flora McGhee.
"Good Housekeeping" is the
warm story of a youthful and attractive woman who—with teenage daughters and a tyrant in
the kitchen—finds herself no longer needed by her family. That
problem is grave enough to make
a tragedy, but because the Burnetts love each other and are not
afraid to stand toe-to-toe and
slug out their difficulties in family argument, "Good Housekeeping" ends happily with father on
the road to the governor's mansion.
The play presents a cast of-
four men and five women, including Marian, an imaginative
mother; Charles, a dignified father; Christine and Katy, two
daughters; Nat Kahn and Edward
West, two teen-age boys; Jim
O'Neal, a political boss; and Mrs.
Benson, a maid of all work. Also
in fhe cast are a drum .majorette,
cheerleaders, and a policeman.
The play should prove to be
an evening full of surprises, laughter, and enjoyment. "G o o d
Housekeeping" is extremely winning because of the simplicity
and wholesomeness of its portrait
of a happy, normal American
family. As one reviewer says,
"One feels as though he really
were looking in on the private
lives of  a  college  president,   his
