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.

Ofi UcjJ Ad4filHi6i atoA.l D FARRELL RICHARD C. MALONEY B. W. 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

One of the committees, the All-College Social and Recreational Committee, operated a full schedule of events and activities for the first time. The committee, which resulted from an SPC recommendation, was not completely organized nor did it have sufficient funds in the past. Name Switch Brings Gags Another of the sub-committees was reorganized and renamed during the academic year also. The Committee on Academic Honesty was formerly the Committee on Academic Dishonesty. Many puns an(i jokes resulted from the announcement that the name had been changed. From the student point of view the All-College Social and Recreational Committee probably rates as the most important of the student-faculty committees. During the school year the committee sponsored 35 weekend movie programs in the Auditorium and ar- range .1 1 hour dances at the Student Union. Music for the hour dances was supplied by Matt Betton ' s and Bob Smith ' s orchestras. In addition to the hour dances, three all-college dances were sponsored on the tennis courts, three parties were staged in Nichols Gymnasium and nine weekend dances at the Community House were pre- sented. Farewell Is Highlight Biggest event of the year for the college community was the All-College Farewell Party and Dance in honor of President Eisenhower. Gene Krupa ' s band presented a concert in the afternoon and a dance the evening of April 26. One action of the committee which met with great 1
