It seems as though food and a bed are of primary importance to a col- lege student. The university has re- cognized this interest and placed in charge of all such matters one of the most efficient officials possible, Mary Schlenck, who has the official title of director of boarding department. Discharging the duties of NYA coordinator, Charles T. Jenkins understudies the government in one of the most commendable of its agencies. In addition to this he serves as personnel secretary and is freshman adviser to the numerous men living outside the dormitories. With the increased building the office of superintendent of main- Ralph J. McGinnis Mary Schlenck Charles T. Jenkins Walter M. Everhart Arthur F. Conrad tenance has grown to giant propor- tions. Capably acting in this capa- city is Walter M. Everhart. To keep the grounds and the new and old buildings as lovely and as typically Miami as possible, Arthur F. Con- rad supermtends the work of this type that is done. Publicity is vital to any institution as well as to any business. Perform- ing the job of keeping Miami Uni- versity in the public eye is Ralph McGinnis who heads the News Bur- eau, also serving as assistant profes- sor of English and adviser to publi- cations. The social life of the campus all passes through the capable hands of Virginia Skinner. She oversees the big functions such as dances of the Junior Prom variety, as well as co- ordinating all minor social functions of various organizations. Virginia K. Skinner

ADMINISTRATION Running interference for the functions of the University are the administration officials. They hold forth in Benton Hall and from there they reach out and coordinate the activities of the university into a smoothly running machine. Without them the students wouldn ' t have their meals on time, there would be a dozen social affairs on one night. and the beautiful groimds of which Miami is so proud would fall into rack and ruin. A. K. Morris is right-hand man to Dr. Upham, serving as vice president of the university. He is chairman of admissions, and is chairman of the freshman advisers who perform such outstanding jobs. Mr. Morris has able assistance in the person of Joseph W. Fichter who relieves him when the going gets tough. Mr. Fichter is also an assistant professor of English. Martha Jaques ' office bears more than a slight resemblance to Grand Central Station. She is the auditor of the student organizations, offi- cially, but her other duties run a neck and neck race for her time and interest. Dean Elizabeth Hamilton returned to Miami this fall from her South American journey and has resumed her position as dean of women. She is head of Bishop Hall and is an as- sistant professor of English in addi- tion. Performing the heavy duty of keeping a sort of personal history of each student enrolled is W. C. Smy- ser. In his capacity as registrar he knows about each student just about as much as there is to know — where he came from, where he is, and where he will be if he doesn ' t keep those credits, hours, grades, and cuts straight.
