eee 5 Says Always Open Sy MARTIN B. KIRCH, B.S., M.S., Ed.D. Associate Professor of Education Dean of Students THOMAS H, LANGEVIN, Ph.D. Professor of History Academic Dean What is a dean--one who issues late pers, publishes grades, counsels the engaged, signs requisitions, speaks in chapel, grants excused absences? These are the impressions most stu- dents receive, and these impressions are cor- rect, but they fall short of encompassing a full understanding and appreciation of the exacting role of a dean on a college campus. A sincere interest in and understanding of the students and campus situations; an organized plan; a pleasant smile; a vast knowledge of people, events, psychological implications and their practical applications; strength of convictions; an uncommon measure of common sense; and a firm dedication to the Savior and His work are all necessary components of the nature of a dean and all those factors lead Concordia students to respect and appreciate those who fill this office on our campus. Professor Walter Mueller substituted as Academic Dean this year while Dr. Thomas Langevin was on sabbatical leave, and Rev. Erwin Kolb took the position of Dean of Men while Miss Stanton joined the faculty as As- sistant Dean of Women.

‘Sones Faculty Vises Ae New courses in biological and physical sci- ence were offered this year to add to the al- ready large and varied offerings in the Sci- ence department. Courses in biology, physics, and the earth sciences contribute to a com- plete: program in the ‘science: field Ineésads vanced chemistry lab was utilized to a large extent in this 1963-64 year. This laboratory gave greater opportunity for individual research in upper level courses. Faculty members have been spending a major portion of their time planning the sci- ence building which will be occupied and used in the fall. Integrated into the building will be 18 faculty offices, 4 lecture classrooms, in- cluding a 120 seat tiered lecture complex. Seven laboratories together with a faculty-student research laboratory create intellectual means of studying. Conference rooms plus many other facilities are combined with the total plan to make this a tremendous avenue of improvement. The varied and revised program will indeed contribute in making an outstanding science area. ROBERT D. BARNES, B.S. Instructor in Science GT.
