EAR built thou In a way, Moe, you ' re lucky. You will find several of the deans and heads of departments changed when you get back. And as I remember your status with many of them, you will be the better off for the changes. There has been a reshuffling of the athletics department. Hobbs Adams, who took up the reins of director of athletics only last fall, resigned and Thurlo McCrady from South Dakota State moved in behind the desk. Sam Francis, whom you will remember as a slippery back from Nebraska, was given a three-year contract as football coach. R. I. Thackrey gave up his job as Dean of Administration to go to Washi ngton as executive secretary of the Association of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities. You can ' t blame a man for going after a job with that long a title. Dean L. E. Call of the School of Agriculture reached the retirement age and gave way to R. I. Throckmorton. Thus, the executive machinery of the College was settled for an- other year. There was perhaps more than the usual amount of hiring, fir- ing and retiring of in- structors and profes- sors, but you can sur- vey that situation for yourself. Though we need more teachers, I don ' t know where they would live, if we did get them. The city is talking of building apartments for them, or rather, of encouraging private capital to do the job. That might fix it; we ' ll see. Teachers have been one scarce item the OPA ignored altogether. Attractive of- fers from private industry and competition among schools have made prospective faculty members as independent as drill sergeants. A big drive was begun last fall to finance a Memorial Chapel. When the necessary funds are raised, the building will be erected on the east side of the campus there below the formal gardens where you used to cut across from Willard to Aggieville. It will serve as a useful memorial to si K-State students who served in the war. That ' s you, Moe. IDC nexl don I sa afn tw in: G
