LAFENE In iuklition to building graceful new lime- stone buildings und employing more profes- sors, making the Campus of Tomorrow a rcalit) ' has required expansion of almost every department, both academic and administra- tive. Some new departments have been es- tablished. Modernization and expansion completely changed the routine of the Registrar ' s office when IBM equipment was installed to hasten and simplify record keeping. The office of Director of Public Service was established. Problems connected with locating homes for faculty and students swamped the housing office daily. Forgetful Profs Gone Forever The old stereotype of college personnel sisting only of absent-minded professors and prankster students is shattered by the top flight administrators who handle the myriad problems connected with making Kansas State College one of the nation ' s leaders in education. Pictured here are eleven of those administrators. Dr. F. D. Farrell, President Emeritus, gave the Prexy ' s reins to President Eisenhower in 1943 when he reached retirement age. Dr. Farrell did not leave the college when he retired, but remained as a professor of Rural Institutions. Dr. Farrell became President in 1921. During his administration Willard Hall, Van Zile Hall, the Library, Power Plant, and the new Dairy Production Plant were built. Richard C. Maloney, College Registrar, assumed his duties in 1948. During his term as chief record keeper Mr. Maloney has brought about modernization of the Regis- trar ' s Office. Installation of International Business Machines in his office this year gave promise of faster registrations each semester. Hospital Has Peak Crowds Administration of the Student Health Clinic and the Student Hospital kept Dr. B. W. Lafene on duty almost constantly during the year. Peak enrollments coupled with Kansas weather gave the Doctor and his four staff physicians many sleepless nights as minor epidemics of flu filled the hospital. Everything from splinters in fingers to major bone fractures were treated at the clinic and hospital. Milbourn Fills New Post A new personality of the campus this year, Max W. Milbourn became Director of Public Service. He is a member of the staff of the Office of the President. His responsi- bilities in addition to those personally con- nected with the President, are to coordinate the many phases of the college program and to increase the impact and effectiveness of that program with the people of the state. Eric T. Tebow, Director of Admissions, is the man who makes high school graduates MAX W. MILBOURN ERIC T. TEBOW HELEN MOORE

Jim Dixon, Monita McNeil, Steve Sage, Franlc Murray, Rick Harman, president; Vernon Bluhm, Bob Zeim, Deloris Montague, Don Robinson, treasurer; and selection of student members for all-college committees. The council submits their nominees ' names to the President ' s office for official appointment. Modernization of the college election system was another of the group ' s moves. The council also spear- headed the drive to bring the Constitution up to date. Members also studied the allocation of student funds and called in many college officials for consultation before making any suggestions. Back Chapel Chime Drive The Student Council demonstrated its interest in the future of the college at Christmas by sponsoring the Campus Chapel Chime Drive. It also sponsored the development of Marlatt Park as an official college recreation area. Handles Student-Faculty Relations The other big council on the campus, the Faculty Council on Student Affairs, holds joint meetings with the Student Council whenever any problems arise which affect both groups. The Faculty Council represents the college in its relations with the Student Governing Association. It also recommends rules on student ac- tivities to the President. The Dean of Students is chairman of the council. Seven active subcommittees of the Faculty Council have both faculty and student members. These com- mittees deal with academic honesty, organization con- Bob Kuhn.

Safety Measures Studied The Faculty Council approves constitutions for new campus organizations and passes on disciplinary action against any organization if necessary. Two major issues have received much attention from the Council this year. Fire pre- cautions and safety measures on the campus were considered. The Council also studied gen- eral safety regu- lations in all housing facili- ties and brought about changes in several build- ings occupied by students. Some of the buildings were college-owned. Fire precautions, especially the construction of fire escapes, was stressed. Rick Harman, President ul the Student Coun- cil, directed representatives in one of the most constructive years ever noted. Student-fac fcy relations improved and college-town associ- ations brought to a better understanding.

JtanMe CaUe j,e P aule4nl the happiest people in the world when he notifies them they have been accepted for admission by the college. Mr. Tebow, who is a Kansas State graduate, assumed his duties in the admissions office in 1948. He is a noted leader in the field of visual education. Ten years as Dean of Women is the rec- ord of Miss Helen Moore. From her office in the Recreati on Center Dean Moore directs the social life of the campus. She is respon- sible for the welfare of all women enrolled in the college both on and off the campus. She is also in charge of administration of women ' s residence halls. Torrence Heads Counsellors Another new leader on the campus this year, Paul E. Torrance became Director of the Counseling Bureau. Mr. Torrance was assis- tant to Dean Woolf in the Counseling Bu- reau until 1948 when he went to the Univer- sity of Michigan to work on his doctorate. The machine age also hit the Counseling Bureau. A Hollerith Test Scoring machine scores tests almost instantly. One of the Bu- reau ' s main projects is Freshman Orientation Week. Assurance that completion of the Campus of Tomorrow will find Kansas State College with one of the finest campuses in the nation was guaranteed this year when Dr. R. A. Seaton, Dean Emeritus, was appointed Build- ing Expediter. Dean Seaton was honored by KENNEY L. FORD some of the country ' s outstanding engineers when he retired this year. A bronze relief portrait of the Dean has been hung in Engi- neering Hall. Housing Office Busy Finding places in Manhattan for more than seven thousand students to live is quite a problem for anyone. Add to that problem the question of where some two thousand of those students can find places for their wives and children and you have a slight idea of the task of Housing Director A. Thornton Edwards. Mr. Edwards has been Director of Housing at the college since 1946. Jones Accounts for 9 Million Arnold R. Jones, a certified public account- ant, must account to the state for an esti- mated $9,100,000 college budget this year. In his position as College Comptroller Mr. Jones is responsible for the receipts and ex- penditures of all funds used by the college. He came to K-State in 1929 as a professor of accounting and became Comptroller in 1945. The man that too few undergraduates know, but who is known by all alumni. Secretary Kenny L. Ford of the Alumni Asso- ciation, is responsible for the procurement of endowment funds. Mr. Ford, who has been in his present position since 1928, travels more than fifty thousand miles a year meet- ing alumni and telling the nation of the progress of Kansas State College. ARNOLD R.
