Money doesn ' t grow on trees, and Comptroller Fred Smith must buy e verything from soap to machinery. Money col- lected by the College passes through his office, and so do all requisitions for items to be bought. Luther E. Bledsoe is the man who will decide whether or not you are eligible to come to Mar- shall, and after that he will keep record of your academic grades. The Registrar is also respon- sible for putting out the catalogue and the course schedules. i 4 A college cannot operate without re- search material, and most of Mar- shall ' s is in its library. Librarian Harold Apel is striving to enlarge and improve the present accumula- tion of reading matter by the acquis- ition of new books and the restoration of old ones. t ' s book.- . paper, pencils, supplie.s you want, then )kstore Manager Percy iloway or Everett New- n will help you get them. It ' .s a rare woman who ha.- a head for figures, but Treasurer Louise Thompson can be seen either at her desk or moving efficiently about in the ac- counting department. Don Morris manages every- thmg in the Union from buy- ing pickles to renting the place for dances. The friendly man- ager and the Union hostess, Sue B. Nicklas, are seen very frequently by many. It is James Herring ' s job, as Director of Publicity and the Information Service, to keep Marshall firmly fixed in the public mind. 27

ADMINISTRATION These people run the College machinery. They are the ones who remain stationary year after year to help the changing mass of students adjust to their environment. They buy and sell, grade, distribute, advise, budget, influence, facilitate, coordinate, repair, make and break. And keep things in order. Weary students who attend school after a day of work can thank Paul Collins for making Evening School as pleasant as possible. Director of Adult Education, he is also in charge of extension classes. A smile goes a long way is one of the most effective tactics Veta Lee Smith uses. She well coordinates the many facets of her work in the Mar- shall Foundation, and as the College Secretary. Alumni Secretary Marie White keeps track of and in- forms Marshall graduates from Albuquerque to Asia. When lawn mowers are hum- ming in summer, you will find Thomas A. Bolyard, Supervi- sor of Buildings and Grounds, directing the repair of snow shovels for the coming winter. Betty Jo Chandler and head Lillian Newcomb of the Dupli- cating Department handle reams and reams of printed material for the administra- tion and faculty. Ann Six serves as coordin- ator between you and youi prospective employer. 26

FACULTY As a group, the faculty of Marshall College would appear to be a highly impersonal congregation to the person who is not acquainted with them as individuals. But should that same person see any particular faculty member from day to day in class, greet him when he passes by on the street, recognize him at the Artists Series, notice what he wears, how he talks, how he reacts, that person will realize that the faculty member is as human as he is. He will realize that his teacher is an individual, just as he himself is one. Before long he will notice the personal differences among the different faculty members. He will perceive that a few instructors are not averse to wearing a short shirt in the summertime, while some of the older school will never be seen without a coat, a tie, and in some cases even a hat. Occasionally these personal differences will result in unusual incidents. For example, although it had been forbidden to the students during last summer ' s heat, one professor of history strode into classes wearing Bermuda shorts.
