The head of the Student Personnel and Welfare Department has the responsibility of helping the student keep a well balanced program of extra-curricular activities. This position is ably filled by Douglas F. Miner, who, since he has been at Tech, has greatly improved the facilities of our employment department. Previous to joining the Tech Staff, he had edited a handbook on engineering materials and had worked for Westinghousc. The man responsible for much of Tech’s publicity is Stanley R. March, the Director of Public Relations. It is Mr. March who directed President Warner’s inauguration program last year. In this program he succeeded in one of his main projects, that of encouraging student participation in public programs on campus. Working with Mr. March as editor of the Carnegie News Service is Miss Marilyn Pfohl, a newcomer to Tech. A graduate of the Pennsylvania College for Women, she is responsible for Carnegie Tech’s publicity releases. Included in the Administration is the Dean of Graduate Students and the head of the Electrical Engineering Department, Dean Benjamin R. Tearc. Mr. Tearc has the important job of planning the program of graduate study in each engineering field, a program which stresses the master of the basic science in each field and the development of the powers of analysis and independent thinking. This entire staff, some of whose members are very well known on campus and others whom few students realize exist, are all a necessary part of the operation of any school. They do the all important administrative work which enables a college the size of Carnegie Tech to function smoothly. MARILYN PFOHL, Editor, Carnegie News Service BENJAMIN R. TEARE, Dean of Graduate Studies
