If a friend in need is a friend indeed Kurt R. Galle is certainly a friend to the Jucos. Whether one needs his schedule changed, credit on bills, or a place to work, Mr. Galle is always ready to hear the problem and competent to supply the need. No college can progress steadily without those who smooth over the rough places and push along the laggards. Mr. Galle not only supplies this smoothing touch and push, but also contributes sym- pathy and understanding to every day junior college life. Besides his duties: as assistant dean, Mr. Galle is also instructor of social science. He received his A. B. Degree from Bethel College at Newton and his A. M. Degree from Chicago University, majoring in history and political sciences. He also attended summer sessions at the University of Kansas and Wisconsin University. K. R. Galle Asst. Dean Something About The Faculty Here we pause to pay annual tribute to the faculty for, unfortunately, most Jucos rarely get around to this expression of gratitude more than once a year. Seriously, though, few students leave Junior College without having realized at some time their indebtedness to their instructors. The Juco teachers not only work constantly and consistently to teach the students the ele- mentary facts of set coursesg they are also ever on the alert to find and practice both new and approved methods of college education, to find and present current ideas and knowledge, and they have the courage to find and demonstrate new attitudes. This year the students have been especially grateful to the faculty for its whole-hearted interest and aid and we have not forgotten the other hours the instructors have spent coaching extra-curricular events and sponsoring college organizations.

Funk pro- vides the junior college with that silent support so necessary to the up- keep of school standards. Though he is not seen so often in the Juco halls, he is an ever present factor, working behind the scenes. Last winter in a chapel talk, Mr. Funk expressed his interest and concern in both administrative and Juco problems. We, the students, recognize this concern and appreciate it. Mr. Funk received his A. B. degree from the Missouri State Teachers College and his M. S. de- gree from the University of Kansas.
