Peter Drucker, noted political economist, January 9; Alexander Kerensky, former Russian president, February 27. Two things happened this past year which caused some discomfort to the student body— the burning of the laundry and liquidation of the student bank. The University laundry did not stop, however, For it continued to serve the students by sending their laundry to ne ighboring towns. A depository replaced the student bank. Welcomed to the faculty and the university staff were Frederic H. Kellogg, C. L. Marquette, R. H. Price, Haley D. Worthy, Joel W. Bunkley; Leslie L. Eisenbrandt, Charles N. Fortenberry, James W.

Head Coach Harold Drew, who led the Rebels through the season, was replaced January 13 by Johnny Vaught. Jim Buster Poole was also named to the athletic staff as end coach. William Griffin was appointed new alumni secre- tary, replacing Jeff Hamm, who served in that capacity for 23 years. The Veterans Club proved valuable in helping Ole Miss secure $900,000 in appropriations from the Building Commission. This appropriation was endorsed by a visit to the campus by Governor Fielding Wright on February 6. The funds are in use now enlarging and improving our physical plant. A new laundry, practice and intramural fields, repair work and renovation of classroom buildings, more and better parking facilities, a recreation hall are projects as a re- sult of the allocation.
