Ill (.[ 1 1 1) ADMINISTRATION Just as we have our Dean, so our happ) brothers in knowledge the educational bourgeoisie better known .is professors bave theirs, one C. K. Brown known to the students For liis mustache and his own textbooks. Or. Brown is noi in our hair as much as some of his counterparts, but mam ' s the sour land future tycoon who has trudged dejectedl) to his mone) and banking class lull ol thoughts unprintable foi the one who authored this mid afternoon confab. h. Martin is new and therefore not completely typed, hut time ami penn) pinching students will soon produce his brochure. One who comes astride the broad front scat ol an Olds L ' s is surel) worth looking into, especiall) when he seems to he a prett) nice fellow. II he would just come around to the dorm some I huisd.n and take a look at mj battered ami blood) laundry, . i)i then do something about it. Ill gladl) pa) an) diploma lee he sets, hut nl then III begrudge him ever) nickel ol Dads he yets. Another new babe braving the storm ol student senium is Dr. Spen cer. One wonders il he feels a certain heaviness in the air after coming back to ied cla) from tin celestial atmosphere ol Harvard, or just what does he do anyway? Perhaps he is to serve as the ears ol the college now that his predecessor ' s radar swem has gone, or maybe he was just brought in lor the new offensive on the new iloim. Mi. Payne ma) he the man to tell us. lor from now on. we become alumni, and as such, are laii game lor all Future drives. In past years, alumni secretaries have played little il an) parts in student annuals hut we leel that he should he in- troduced so we will know how to answer his Inst letter. In Korea, I imagine we will he happ) to yet mail even from alumni secretaries. Mr. Seott has taken over the job ol thletie Director in an efficient manner and has become endeared to the students as Little Caesar. ' lie hasn ' t tried to build a new Davidson Inn he has taken over the athletic department with a firm hand and set up a program ol physical training guaranteed to make men out ol these moles that arrive even year. I li- is the man who brought wrestling to Davidson and with all his seeming loneliness goes a conscientiousness which was witnessed when he put up the stadium Hays himself. I hese aie the administrators, we must now pass on to the characters and introduce them personally. her that, we can resume our storv.

C Young I rulv his proudest moment was at the dedication ol the new erection on the campus known as the Cathe- dra] de Johannes Sliekus Divini. It was a dream realized after years ol grueling begging and being nice to rich witlows. It is hoped that Dr. Cunningham will once again take peculiar pleasure in being on the campus for a while. Of course, after the President must come the Administration which is made up of the Big Four: Bailey, Brown. Hengeveld, and Martin, with the lesser lights Paine, Scott, and Spencer. .Administration is a term meaning to control anil the lour men most in:imatelv connected with this sxstem do exactly that. Martin controls all ol youi money, Bailey controls all of your freedom, Hengeveld sees that your schedule is as lousy as possible, and Brown controls your professors. All of these gentlemen rate a special place in the heart ol ever) Davidson man, dead or alive, whether thev were responsible or not. Sooner or later ever) student has had the misfortune to take a walk through the Registrar ' s outer office it for nothing more than to look at his grades and curse. Others have been more unfortunate and have made the trip into the inner sanctum of the slickest con man since Insull. Man) a senior has walked out minus a diploma on the eve of graduation and many a freshman has walked out wondering if the math guv he can ' t avoid is really as had as the) sax . Around the corner from this Bureau of Misinformation is the Dean ' s Office, which houses the Dean except when he is out putting parking tickets around. The Dean has a somewhat exaggerated reputation for being hard and fair, stemming from the story which has it that his brother was about to drown in a prohibited swimming hole. The boy called for help but John refused to break the law and all that he said was, I ' d like to help you but my hands arc tied. The Dean will probably be best remembered for the periodical letters found on each student ' s desk at certain vita] times of the year. One of the more typical ones begins as follows: As you know, at this time of the year it is very probable that we shall have snow at any time. In case of such an eventuality it is likely that a certain number of the younger and less mature students— mainly seniors- will wish tn engage in the old American custom of snowball fights. Aside from the fact that this sport is not sanctioned b the NCAA or the Southern Conference, and is frowned upon by the Presbyterian Church, it is also likely to cause damage to college property. The procedure for handling such cases may be ascertained by reading paragraph 1166, section 6 of the Student Handbook on Faculty Regulations. To prevent the use of such procedure it is recommended that the student confine himself to playing this sport in areas to be designated in the next paragraph.
