By Audience
The Rajesters, under the capable direction of Miss Flora McGhee, successfully produced the
spring play, "Good Housekeeping," March 24, in the Central
Auditorium. An audience of approximately 350 persons, consisting mainly of seniors from area
schools who had been guests of
the college at the open house
held the same day, applauded
the play and heartily enjoyed the
delightful comedy.
Chuck Eichten and Marilyn Koenig successfully filled the leading
parts of Mr. and Mrs. Burnett in
William McCleery s production.
They were most understanding
and amusing as they portrayed
the typical dilemma of the wife
who wants her unwilling husband
to "get ahead" poltically.
The Burnetts' daughters, Chris
and Katy, played by Elaine Harvey and Marilyn Ernst, enlivened
the acts with their many earth
shaking problems. Both Elaine
and Marilyn fit into their parts
perfectly and perhaps reminded
many of the adults present of
their complicated teen-age days.
The play's action drew many
laughs as Tom Connelly and Don
Capriotti, . portraying the girls'
boy friends, displayed their naturalness 'and ease on the stage.
Gloria Chafoulias also provided
the audience with an abundance
of laughter as she played the part
of the overly efficient housekeeper who was constantly annoying
Marian Burnett. Jim O'Neil, the
city's powerful political boss, was
aptly portrayed by Ken Francis,
who seemed to know exactly what
goes on in the mind of a person
such as O'Neil.
Mary K. Williams was the drum
majorette who led a group of
cheerleaders and the pep band
onto the stage to carry the frustrated Mr. Burnett bodily out of
his house and into a rousing pep
parade to celebrate the great
"Burnett for Governor" occasion.
During the curtain call, Chuck
Eichten presented a gift certificate
to Miss McGhee from the cast in
appreciation for her unmeasurable
help and effort devoted to the
play.
Staged at J. C.
Forty-five delegates to the regional I. R. C. convention, held
here on Friday, March 20, discussed issues of current importance, and
passed resolutions on five points. The delegates were divided into
four discussion groups, discussing Korea, Iran, Indo China, and
N. A. T. O.
The group discussing Korea resolved that the United Nations
should take the following actions: take the offensive to obtain a better defense line from a military and political point of view, reconsider
the bombing of Manchurian bases, and make more extensive use of
South Korean troops.

Dean Honored
At Convention
Dean   Roy   W.   Goddard   was
elected an honorary fife member
of the American Association of
Junior'Colleges at the annual convention recently held in Dallas,
Texas. The Dean is the seventh
person to be so honored in 33
years and was chosen to receive
the award because of the outstanding service he has rendered
to the junior college movement.
The honor, which comes as a complete surprise to him, was bestowed on him at the convention dinner. About 500 junior colleges
in the country belong to the association, but the life membership
is given only to indivduals.

It was resolved by another
group that Itlhe United Nations
General Assembly, acting as an
international board, be given full
authority and cooperation to
make an investigation of the finances of the Anglo-Iranian Oil
Company. This group also resolved that social and economic
reform should be encouraged in
Iran and that the U. S. should
extend aid to Iran in the fields
of education, agriculture, transportation, irrigation, health, and
sanitation.
In a resolution on the Indo
China problem, students stated
that the United States should send
medical, technical, and financia!
assistance, and military goods to
the people of Indo China under
the Viet Namh government for
the defeat of the Minh force;
and also military goods directly
to the armies of the French in
Indo China, and that France
should take definite steps toward
total independence for the Indo
Chinese.
The NATO discussion group resolved that the United States
should continue aid for NATO
N. A. T. O. countries, that there
should be an increase in the
strength of N. A. T. O. military
forces, and that the United States
should help N. A. T. O. countries
to maintain their economic anc!
political stability to stop the ad
vance of communism.

Methodist Church, Dr. J. E. Edwards, of the Mayo Clinic, addressed the delegates from St.
