YOU'RE A BETTER MAN THAN I, QGUNGA DEAN' DEAN OF THE COLLEGE WEST- HAFER, in addition to other tasks, selects chapel programs. This year, chapels ranged from Eskimo speakers to madrigal singers. LOOKING OVER THE DATE BOOK with secretary Harriett Klein is Dean at Women Rachel MacKenzie. Her job makes her arbiter of college social life. A general clearing-house for Woos- terian affairs is the Deans' Office, presided over by the efficient trium- virate of Westhafer, MacKenzie, and Bruere, From the momentous undertaking of revising the college curriculum to meet the new accelerated schedule to placing a tactful taboo on doubtful social functions, the job is theirs. Theirs, too, is the task of placating irate students, irate professors, irate parents, or just plain irates. THE GOOD DEAN JOHN is Dean of Men Bruere, who keeps the male animal within bonds of civilization. His trying task has made lesser men curl up and die: yet Bruere marches on.
