Our Worry Is Theirs T HE COLLEGE Careers of Kansas State students are guided, supervised and improved through the ef- forts of the administrators. Numerous tasks confront these persons in order to maintain smooth functioning of a college with 5,977 students. They serve as a link between the classroom and activities, between the stu- dents and faculty. The general welfare of the students is the responsi- bility of Herbert J. Wunderlich. new dean of students. A native of Idaho, Dean Wunderlich received his Ph.D. from Stanford University and served at Montana State University last year. Through the year he has been here, he has gained the admiration and respect of the students. He co-ordinates the student service agencies — the place- ment bureau, student health, counseling and testing bu- reau, and residence living. F. D. Farrell serves the College as president emeritus, and heading the building and re|)air is R. F. Gingrich. Student health is llie main concern (if Dr. licnjamin Lafene. K-State s i)ublic service director is Max Milbourn. A new face on the campus is that of Herbert J. Wunderlich, dean of students, who replaced William Craig. Assuiiiing the duties of assistant dean of students this year is Charles A. Jacot. who came here from Delaware Universitv. 26

He attempts to get the round pegs in the round holes and the square ones in the square holes. Chargeil with the health of the students is Dr. Benjamin Lafene. Maintaining an efficient hospital in outdated barracks is not an easy task, but plans have been made for build- ing a new College hospital in the next few years. The K- State veterans are steady visitors to the office of Wen- dell Kerr. The veterans ' service office is the focal point for Gl payments and other problems confronting the e -ser icemen. More than 200,000 books in the College Library pro- vide a lot of reading for K-State students. In charge of co-ordinating the various departments of the Library — reference, continuations, class reserves and loan desk — is William F. Baehr. The man who probably knows more K-Staters than any other is Kenney L. Ford, alum- ni secretary. He travels over the state attending alumni meetings and is in charge of the student loan fund. Work with The K-Slater. an alumni publication, also demands part of Ford ' s time. AH the problems that go with nine weeks of sum- mer school reach the desk of Paul oung, director of the summer session, and associate dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. Young was appointed to the latter post at the beginning of the spring semester to succeed acting Associate Dean Ralph Sanger. Max Milbourn, Charles Correll, Sumner Morris and F. D. Farrell complete the list of administrative aids. Milbourn is director of public service and maintains the good public relations for K-State.
