Kaz Oshiki Dorothy Owens Although he is a political science major in the education college, Kaz Oshiki is best known for his work in journalism. As 1949 Quax editor, his moods ran from pleasant to unpleasant, but if effort counts, he should have a winner . . . Energetic Dorothy Owens, Theta Sigma Phi president, is another woman who insists on tackling a 26-hour day. Dorothy can be easily recognized on campus through her quiet and restrained manner . . . Depend- able GOI'd0l1 Riefstahl is an anti-red tapist who has served students through active participation on the student faculty council, student fees allocations committee and social committee . . . Idealist Alfdell Stelck can best be described as a scholar and gentleman. His stay on campus has been characterized by service to others. His experiences as a marine have convinced him of the horrors of war and the necessity of lasting peace through educa- tion . . . Conscientious and charming Susan Thomas has shown her abilities as a campus leader through the many offices she has held. As VVomen's league president she has striven to make that body a functioning organization . . . Lovely and capable Dolores Van Dyke, Beta Gamma Kappa president, began her Times- Delphic work as a reporter. Her intelligence and affable person- ality were rewarded when she was appointed editor. Gordon Riefstahl 20

1949 Ouax Who' Who N1CNLlflCI1, who was student faculty council president in 1947-48, and Baldwin, who was 1947-48 Times-Delphic editor, were members of the 1948 Quax Who's Who. Miss Nord was active in the fine arts college. Undergraduate committee members were selected because of their participation in varied university activities. Quax Who's Who members were selected by popular vote in former years. This year it was felt, however, that an impartial committee of both graduates and under- graduates could do a better job of evaluating relative merits of all qualified seniors.
