DEANS Scholarship, Student elfare, and Records are the Problems oj the Deans. Dean N. C. Beasley, having at one time or another occupied most of the jobs in rank at the college, now heads up our records division and acts as Veteran ' s ad- viser. As Dean of Admissions, he is continuing services to the college that have covered more than a quarter cen- tury. Outstanding lay leader in the Methodist Church, and for more than 20 years executive secretary of the MTEA, Dean Beasley has the loyal affection of the file as well as the rank in the profession and among the student body. N. C. Beasley — Dean of Admissions Dr. Belt S. Keathley combines the functions of the chaplain corps, the quartermaster department and the provost martial ' s office with equal ease and ability. As counselor and friend, as director of student help and dormitories, as a firm but understanding disciplinarian, our Dean of Students has the respectful admiration of all who know him. It is axiomatic that in this office one may find helpful guidance, sound admonition, or, when the occasion demands, equitable justice tempered always by mercy. Dr. Howard Kirksey heads our S-3 section of plans and training. As Dean of Instruction, it is his respon- sibility to organize and supervise the schedule and cur- riculum, to be alert to the over-all educational plan of campaign on all levels, integrating our Division into the Education Corps of Tennessee for most effective service. As secretary of the Secondary Principals Association, a member of the Baptist Sunday School Board for Ten- nessee, a national director of the Beta Club and Ten- nessee representative in the Southern Association, Dean Kirksey is a very busy man.

GOVERNOR The Governor is chiej of staff oj the state ' s education. The highest-ranking commanding officer in this fine old state is Governor Frank Clement. I journeyed down to Nashville to visit his office one day and I found, after listening to several conversations, that as America ' s youngest chief executive he has proved his leadership in education as well as politics. Two of the members of the MTSC faculty, who were among his high school teachers, join the hundreds who attest to the sterling qualities of leadership that marked him in high school, in college, in law school and later as an Army officer. In recent months he has faced difficult problems with a forthright conviction that may easily result in his eleva- tion to a high national office. His sponsorship of better educational opportunities for all Tennesseans has en- couraged all those associated with edu cation in the state. (lOVERNOR FRANK G.

Sloan is the nearest thing to a S-2 that you can find on the campus. He supervises the publications and aids with the public relations and recruiting program of the college. He also acts as chairman of the athletic, the publications, and student activity budget committee. With his student assistants, several thousand press and radio releases are prepared each year. Peggy Jennings, Bob Brooks, Glendel Bryson and Carey Armistead are student assistants in the public relations department. T. B. Woodmore and his assistant, Mr. James Jackson, combine the duties of company clerk with that of finance officers for the college as an S-4 section. These two men are among the first that the freshmen meet at registra- tion — as they collect fees. It is through this office that all requisitions for equipment, supplies and services pass. To the faculty members, the student employees and the maintenance department, the end of the month ' s func- tion of paymaster makes this a popular office. Eugene H.
