Every student at the University at one time dur- 0? mizzisfmfive Qoersomze ing his years here has become a close friend of at least one of the deans of the various schools. But perhaps the closest friendship founded is that be- tween the student and the dean of the school in which he majors. Problems of housing, Women's activities, and personal problems of the woman student are solved with the least effort in a spacious and friendly of- fice located in the west wing of Johnson. A fresh- man, opening the door of this office, on which is inscribed, Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women and Alice B. MacDuff, assistant deanf, can feel no un- certainty when she meets these two charming deans face to face. Dean Schwering, after once meeting a coed, calls her by her first name, a remembrance dear to every woman. Mrs. MacDuff, always willing to help in every phase of campus work, shows special interest in finding both men and women comfortable roonvs in which to live. Earl M. Pallett, although personally unknown to many students, handles perhaps more phases of campus life than any other dean. Officially, he is the registrar of the University and head of the Na- tional Youth Administration of Oregon. Ever- genial and interested in activities, Mr. Pallett in- stigated the first Dads' Day program on the campus and is general chairman of the first important pro- gram of the year, Oregon's Homecoming. Men students keep a well-beaten path to the door of Johnson hall, behind which is the office of Dean of Men Virgil D. Earl. Looking the god- father which he is, Dean Earl settles problems aris- ing in the inter-fraternity council as well as points of the administration. Burt Brown Barker, vice president of the Uni- versity, resides in Portland but his frequent visits to the campus make him a popular guest at dinners, meetings, and an active member of the state board of higher education. Genial Alfred Power, dean of the general ex- tension division, is dynamic in his broad outlook on mail education .

Che jzfesidelzf For an opinion on a subject which needs consideration and much thought, leaders of the University and members of the State Board of Higher Education turn to President C. Valentine Boyer. Although President Boyer divides his time between the University and the edu- cational problems in Portland, he handles both with ease, capability, and exactness. Villard hal1's office of the president enables him to remain in close contact with the arts and letters department, of which he was at one time head. His interest in this department continues to grow, how- ever, as he endeavors to further plans that will acquaint the students with its advantages. At home, Dr. Boyer finds relaxation with his two stately collies.
