Miss Marsha Van Cleve, campus representative for the World
University Service, visited R.J.C.
on Wednesday, January 11, to
interest students in the organization she represents.
The World University Service
is an international student organization that has forty-one member
nations involved in its aim to help
as many students as possible to
get their college education. This
is a non-political private organization designed to give mutual
assistance to students and professors.
The organization has rendered
many services thus far. It sent
prefabricated houses and clothing
to Chile after the earthquake
there. In Japan, where the students' main problem was tuberculosis, the WUS helped the students to construct a TB sanatorium; clothing was also provided
Japanese students after the flood
in their country. In Israel where
there was a serious shortage of
books ,students were helped to
make their own text books, and
throughout the free world, there
are many lending book stores to.
provide books for students who
are unable to get them otherwise.
Miss Van Cleve felt the two
most important things about the
WUS were the facts that it is a
student organization, and that
education is one of the most important things for world peace,
because if the peoples of the
world can work together for
schools, they can work together
politically.
An incident that shows the
handicaps some students have to
overcome to get an education
is that involving the Korean boy
who couldn't take notes in class
because the ink in his pen had
frozen. The WUS is trying to
overcome   problems  like  this.
College io Present
Raffish Comdey
"Mister Roberts," one of the most hilarious comedies ever to hit
Broadway and New York, will soon be seen at Rochester Junior
College. On February 25 and 26, 1961, in the evenings, every student
•is urged to make use of his student activity ticket and see this terrific
play put on by a cast from the Rajesters Club.
"Mister Roberts" written by Thomas Heggen and Joshua Logan,
is a rowdy realistic saga of American sailors aboard the Navy cargo
ship, Reluctant, on the Pacific, during World War II. It is rated at the
top of the list, along with "South Pacific," as one of the best plays
ever written on World War II.
The setting is aboard the main deck of the ship, and the time is
from a few weeks before V-E day until a few weeks before V-J day.
The ship's crew, who are suffering from a case of deadly boredom
and who joined the Navy to fight, are raffish, mutinous, and prankish
as they ogle nurses in shower rooms on shore through binoculars;
assemble and swig jungle juice afloat; demolish property and the
Army when they land; get so roaring drunk that they have to be
hauled aboard in cargo nets, and even fight one another to enrich
their days and make the Captain's life more miserable. To the ship's
      company the Skipper  is a  "can-

College Life
R.JsC. students and faculty
members presented a program at
John Marshall High School, on
January 10, to students interested
in attending Junior College in
1961-1962. The M.C. of the afternoon was John Husband who began the program by expressing the Captain. After winning many
the college's appreciation for the     bottles   against  the  Skipper,   Ro-
tankerous, small-minded, and
small-souled mortal" and he was
the enemy. Every boy and man
aboard hated the captain. All of
them conspired against him incessantly and ingeniously, as the
ship pursued its run from Apathy
to Tedium and back again. Mister
Roberts, a lieutenant, shared the
crew's dislike for the Captain,
which was one reason for his
popularity. Roberts had gone to
war to fight. He hated being inactive almost as much as he hated
opportunity to present the program, and also explained the
purpose  of the   program.
The R.J.C .Girls' Ensemble performed and were followed by a
talk given by Miss Goette who
explained the courses of study
offered here. In her talk, Miss
Goette described the various studies, their aspects and  purposes.
Next in line on the program
was Don Opheim who discussed
the activities at J.C. Don was followed by Mr. Davis who described the Counseling Bureau to the
audience. Mr. Davis emphasized
the functions of the Counseling
Bureau and the aid it furnishes to
Junior  College  students.
Dean Hill's'talk on application,
admission, registration and graduation should prove helpful to
the prospective students. Dean
Hill explained the procedure in
application   and   registration,  the

transfer  to  combat  duty.
The Theatre Arts magazine says
of the play: "Mister Roberts' is
American in every sense of the
adjective." The play was a hit
before it ever got to New York.
There was a movie out not very
many years ago entitled "Mister
Roberts" and there is also a book
"Mister Roberts."
The following is the Cast for
"Mister Roberts." It is an excellent cast and it will be a superb
show.
