W s: fr V Ftatai I gnik and friea I Mrs. Spral, and thai te Cal babies President s Reception WEARING name tags and big smiles, the freshmen of the class of ' 52 were honored at the annual President ' s Reception which this year saw a return to prewar elegance. As one of the many traditional events designed to make the Cal campus seem a little smaller, the reception introduced students to each other and to University deans and prominent faculty members. Friendliness, the keynote of the evening, was set by Presi- dent and Mrs. Sproul ' s personal welcome to each student as he was escorted through the receiving line by faculty members. Thinking of time was when we were freshmen leading senior classmen acted as hosts and hostesses, reviving one more prewar tradi- tion. The large rooms in Hearst Gym were transformed for the evening by soft lights, and the music of Ray Hackett and his orches- tra provided background as the now Col- wise students make plans to see you at 10:00 on Wheeler.

Administrative THE administration building is the starting and stopping spot where one tends to business from paying bills to collecting de- grees. It is here that one obtains almost any information he might want to find from advice on majors to the addresses and phone numbers of fellow classmates. The members of the administrative staff headed by the president, Robert G. Sproul, give their advice and counsel to many students. Hurford E. Stone, dean of students, settles the numerous graduate and undergraduate problems. As- sistant dean of men is Chaffee E. Hall, Jr., while the women stu- dents confide in Dean Mary B. Davidson. Miss Alice G. Hoyt, as- sociate dean of women, acquaints new students with the campus and its opportunities. William R. t Dennes, dean of the graduate division, is assisted by associate dean of the division, Morris A. Stewart. Herman A. Spindt, admissions director, and Thomas B.
