ALDO CASELLI EDYTHA M. CARR !► that he is the collector of fines and the watchdog of college property. His most famous victory involved the collection of money for hidden-a damages-a resulting from a Barclay waterfight. He exhibits definite Italian preferences in hiring maintenance workers, and is also known for making unannounced inspection tours of the dorms, aided and abetted by a detective. The few students who have had close contact with him through his non-academic Italian opera course assure us that Aldo is really no gremlin, hut is actu.dly a pretty nice fellow. Mrs. Edytha Carr, our registrar, is constantly plagued with questions about curriculum schedules, requests for course changes, requisitions for various permissive cards, and orders for transcript copies. She performs her duties with patience and humor, adopting a maternal attitude to most students, even the ones who crowd her office at the four o ' clock deadline hour on the last day of registration. Like a submarine, William Ambler 4 is usually silent and unseen by the student body. Ambler becomes a key figure principally to prospective students, and his difficult task in selecting for admission approxi ' mately one applicant out of every ten proceeds effi ' ciently and without fanfare during most of the school year. Ben Cooper ' s influence is felt to an appreciable ex- tent even by undergraduates (through job oiferings, room priority numbers, the weekly Alumni section in The J lews, etc.), but it is principally after one gradu ' atesthat Bennett S. Cooper ' 18, alumni secretary, serves as the alumnus principal link with his alma mater. WILLIAM W. AMBLER BENNETT S. COOPER rr Eight

ADMINISTRATION It iiny livini; niiin deserves the title of Mr. Haver- ford, this honor eert.iinly belongs to Arehih.ild Mac- Intosh 21. Mac has served as director of admissions for a quarter of a century, as acting president on three separate occasions, and has also directed the College Entrance Examination Board. Spanning the adminis- trations of CJilbert White and Hugh Borton. Mac has been for the Class of 195S the President of Havertord longer than any other man. Hugh Borton ' s first official act as president was to award Archibald Macintosh an honorary degree, and the Board of Managers has granted him a well-deserved leave of absence for the latter part of I ' iS. In fulfilling the role of dean, William E. Cadbury 3 1 IS faced with the daily problem of trying to find workable solutions to students problems. Those who are flunking, or have course conflicts, or desire to shift their maior, or have over-cut, or Vi-ish a recommenda- tion to medical school, or ]ust need someone to whom to tell their troubles eventually fill the waiting room in Roberts Hall downstairs left, where the man with the gray crev» ' cut, nervous smile, and ever-present pipe gives each individual attention and advice. The dean also teaches chemistry, and is an e.xpert in the field of pre-medical education. This last semester he has been granted leave to do research in the latter field, and John Lester .i7 is attempting to fill his vacant office. The appointment late in 1957 of Walter C. Baker of the Class of 1932 as full-time vice president for de- velopment on the campus underscores the importance which Haverford continues to attach to careful planning for Its future progress and to the continuation and expansion ot the support it receives from its friends. No one is able yet to evaluate either Mr. Baker or his achievements, but one can be fairly certain that his accomplishments, both long-term and short-term, will indeed benefit the college. Vying with Haverford s mcomp.irable dietician for the title of most scapegoated person on campus. Aldo Caselli s unpopularity stems chiefly from the fact Seven

STUDENTS COUNCIL The work of the Students Council has been de- scribed as drudgery, and for the most part this is true. The time-consuming job of hammering out student organizations budgets (this year s keynote — austerity), the numerous little items of business which come up constantly (e.g., Who w-ants to handle the room search this week? ), and the listening to complaints about the injustices ' of the Comptroller ' s office are routine but necessary to the functioning of student government at Haverford. Through conscientious ac- ceptance of this work and willingness to remain acutely aware of all shades of student body opinion, this year s Council achieved a significant position in student life. The Council became a closely knit body during the tense, feverish, three-day session required by the honor system trials at the beginning of the year. Faced with the responsibility of making decisions on those difficult cases, the Council members learned to work together. Later it was kept busy, if not swept otf its feet at times, by conflicting opinions over the fraternity ques- tum. Too, it had been jarred by the student attitudes toward the inauguration of the president. Due to past difficulties in student-administration re- lations, the Council and the administration agreed that the general area of discipline should he re-e.xamined by both parties. A joint student-faculty-administration committee undertook this inv ' olvcd task. President John Crawford got through the trials with- out mishap, devoted himself to the responsibilities, and generally did an admirable job, despite a cavalier dis- regard for Roberts Rules in Students Association meet- ings. The minutes of Secretary Hans Englehardt were a surprise addition to the literary ' output of the cam- pus. Treasurer Curdon Brewster notified the students of fantastic appropriations for damages.
