ONE OF THE BETTER GUYS This is Dean Albert K. Meckel ' s last year as Dean of Men. He will take a year ' s leave of absence and then return to the University as Professor of Citizenship — and students who are on the campus next year, a campus without the Dean, will feel a great loss. No one has been more interested, more active in promoting the best interests of the Uni- versity through serving the individual student than Dean Meckel. Me is one of the few for whom Me is a Jolly Good Fellow can be sung honestly. The spontaneous testimonial banquet held in his honor is typical of the high regard which every student holds for him. Dean Meckel has given freely of his time, far above the requirements of his office. Mis sponsorship of such organizations as Q. E. B. M., Blue Key, and Phi Eta Sigma is an example. It is hard to say goodbye to one whom we like so much. Page 23

Usually the student president is just some- one at whom this publication smiles in mild amusement. But Chauncey Stanberry, we feel, deserves all the honor we can give him. Stanberry rode into office on a reform wave that swept all but one of his party ' s senators with him, but Stanberry amazed everyone by actually carrying out a large part of his campaign promises, unheard of in campus politics. Taking office saddled by a six hundred dollar debt left by the previous administration, Stanberry has put S. G. A. back on an efficient business basis by dances and other S. G. A. functions which always gave the students more than an even break. Chauncey Stanberry S. G. A. President HATS OFF Betotc: Prexy Stanberry cliiits with Mayor.
