1 l , li . AUNKQ dal Dean Triumvirate Sits on College Lid A welcome home from Dean Taeusch was the greeting he received last September upon returning to Wooster. No stranger to the whys and wherefores of our college, he is a loyal alumni and former facult member O D y . ur new ean of the College comes to us from Western Reserve. He proves his theory, Theres time for everything if you plan it by c-omlnining with aplomb his duties as Dean, professor of English, and father of two boys. Countless curriculum conferences, planning chapel programs, cajoling elements of compo- sition into the cerebrums of struggling frosh, business trips, speeches, family, and acting as mediating angel for students and facultyev-all these and many more are included in his :rchedul . D T ' A e ean aeusch has al.vays been a part of Wooster and is now even more so. He iss, too, a part of the new spirit which we hope will remain for many years to come. Dean of Women that is another newly filled office. Miss Guille, in addition to her position in the French de art- impressive all-powerful guardian of the campus date book A P ment, has shouldered those diverse and mysterious duties of counselling and consoling the flock of females who are busy making Wooster their Alma Mater. She guides the girls through the chaos ranging from helpful hints on what to wear when, how to eat soup, or dating the Navy, to the ever-present problems of grades, health, and time scheduling. Through her offices pass the longed for weekend pers. and precious late passes. In spite of her teachin ' A g position in the French department, conferences. and the hundred and one unfore- :sc-en duties which such a position entails, Miss Guille also manages to hold t'l a ite as one of the best dressed women on campus in clothes which awed undergraduates learn. she inakr-rx herself. Also in Ad, building may be found Ralph A. Young, Dean of Men, but his duties appear to the :students as a nebulous conglomeration of all the campus problems. As lim-rtor of Arimrsxaions Rackev has visited schools, talked to prospective students. and started tnany on the path to Vllooster. Through his office pass all the complicated employment pmirl-:ns of the '.'.'orI-:ing students. Vv'ho needs a job. where one may be found, getting the two tofu-tht-r tlnwse are his headaches. The men too. enter his domain, Plans for Living- rrtwzth l,OflfIl, !iO1'N1'!i Houses, dorm government and so forth still find Rackey energetic -:touch to come along for a good time.

Faculty meetings accented the new swag, head 1 Wmld a'comin', discussing the pros and cons ,pgoqriitiontc of the proposed independent study plan and comprehensive exams. Especially active has been the curriculum committee which considered prob- lems of the underclass and upperclass years, particularly with a view toward expansion of the advisory system. Proposals have been brought forth concerning the adoption of experimental intensive methods of teaching modern languages such as are used in the Army. ln addition to the centralization, extension, and correlation of student guidance, committee chairman Arthur Southwick looks for a greater emphasis on placement, both for summer employment and graduate placerrierit. Already on the books is the sabbatical leave program whereby professors will be given .r sabbatical year every five years for the pursuit of special research problems. With thoughts fixed on the post-war Wooster, the faculty also anticr pates an extensive building program.
