Smith Hall Gordon Triefenbach, Duane Houser, and John Cherry relax in one of the many commodious rooms which make Smith Hall a favorite place of residence for many campus men. Smith Hall, perhaps more than any other residence on campus, exemplifies the philosophy of fraternal living. Perhaps the most unique residence hall on campus is the beautifully landscaped and homelike Smith Hall. Over fifty men dwell here under the popular directorship of Dean Linkens and Mrs. Harriet Vissering. The hall is governed by Russell Thiems, president; Don Nichols, vice-president; Lewis Barron, secretary; Ron Car- lock, treasurer; and Ray Rebuck, social chairman. One of the most outstanding projects of the Smith men is the construction of an outstanding Homecoming decoration, which is destined to take one of the top places in the contest each year. Their activities also include manning a booth at the spring carnival and the sponsorship of several closed dances. John Cherry and Bill Thurber stop eating long enough to listen attentiveh to Tom Patrick as he introduces some food-time fun. L2

Acting President and Dean, Arthur H. Larsen The Executive The integral part of any campus is the university president and the dean of the university. For the past two years both of these positions have been filled by one man, Dean and Acting President Arthur H. Larsen. As a result of his two-fold job, Dean Lar- sen has been in charge of the internal and external functions of the university. The correlation of the curriculum and the program of studies is a part of the responsibilities of his job as dean. In the capacity of president, he represented the university in all official functions, presented programs to the Teachers College Board, and was responsible for the over-all administra- tion of the university. Although he had a busy sched- ule, Dean Larsen met monthly with the student lead- ers and advised them as to the solution of problems pertinent to the student body. For his interest in the welfare of the university and its students, and for the tasks he so willingly accepted, we offer our sincere Thank you. Members of the Teachers College Board, Alexander Summers, Chauncey Watson, Arthur Houle, Carl Dunbar, Donna Peterson, Richard Browne, Roy Stipes, and William Harris wait for Chairman Lewis M. Walker to finish so that Acting President Larsen can present his picture of the situation. f ' I : 1 m i W , r k. ?L rm! ' flv 1 1
