Wherever veterans congregate, there is a Veterans Administration serving as a center of information and aid. The Bucknell VA. set up to cope with the problems and welfare of the 1300 men on campus, for greater efficiency is divided into three separate departments. Important vocational guidance in the form of personal psycho- logical counseling is given by Dr. Loren S. Hadley, faculty member, assisted by Miss Evelyn Deen. psychologist and vocational appraiser. Aptitude tests are administered by two psychometricians, Mrs. Charles H. Gatchell. Jr.. and Mrs. F. Burket Anderson. The results of the tests are forwarded to VA officer William J. Lahodney who works in conjunction with the university administra- tion to see that the individual takes the proper courses. With his enrollment in classes, a veteran ' s monthly subsistence and benefits are then channelled through Philip Bouton. VA officer. The trio work closely together to make the Bucknell VA a well- oiled machine which can boast of only 19 cases of late benefits out of the hundreds of applications last fall.

SUPERINTENDENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Although the title of Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds is an imposing one. the tasks ronnected with it are even more imposing. On the shoulders of Walter C. Geiger. ' 34, rests the super- vision of the cleaning and upkeep of all dormitories and classrooms. He is also responsible for keeping the campus in condition . . . the raking of leaves in the fall, paths cleared of snow and ice in mid-winter, seeds planted in spring, the grass cut in sununer ... a never-ending job. Under his jurisdiction also falls the face-lifting and improvement program which has been carried out extensively In Our Time. Mr. Geiger ' s office is also an active technical participant in Bucknell ' s Second Century drive for new buildings and further improvements. OFFICE OF VISUAL AID Hilltop Theatre . . . Stage Coach. --One Million B. C. ■ ' La Maternelle on the screen . . . popular Friday night entertainment for only a budget card and a contribution, was one of the most entertaining features of the new Office of Visual Aid. Hidden for a decade under the Registrar ' s office, the Visual Aid Office flashed into its useful and welcome place in Bucknell classrooms and activities in oiii lime uiidci the guidance of soft-spoken H. allcr Holler. In addition to providing Hilltop movies, the office sup- plies the classroom with any and all sorts of visual aids, complete with skilled and experienced student operators. The new service relieves a professor of an unfamiliar ;iiid trving visual lecture while benefits are gained n students. The Office of Visual Aid goes bevond the local campus. as its circulating film library of 350 reels supplies surround- ing schools, churches, and organizations with ;ill t pi of educational and entertaimnent films. 26 L.,- . . . :■
