APPORTIONMENT BOARD — Prof. R. I. Throckmorton, Duane Jehlik, Prof. H. W. Davis, Russell Leeper, and Betty June Doan. Bill Bixler replaced Jehlik second semester on the latter ' s graduation. Apportioning the student activity fee to various activities is the duty of the Apportionment Board. The president of the Student Council appoints two other students and two members of the faculty to serve with him. This committee then meets early in the fall to arrange for the distribution of the fund. All Student Council decisions must be approved by the Faculty Council on Student Affairs. A copy of the decision is sent to the Faculty Council and if it is not returned within a set period of time, an appeal is made. If the faculty group disapproves, the matter is settled in a joint meeting. FACULTY COUNCIL — Dr. Harold Howe, Miss Grace Derby, Prof. R. I. Throckmorton, Dean Mary P. Van Zile, Prof. LeVelle Wood, Prof. L. E. Conrad, and Dr. A. A. Holtz. Prof. Louis P. Reitz has replaced Professor Throckmorton on the committee and Jack Gardner is a new member. h 3 Page 29

DAVE RUBINOFF {above, upper) seems worried as he instructs his young fans entering by the stage door. Although not on the celebrity series, Rubinoff was a campus visitor. THE BAND plays, the cheerleaders shout, and the crowd gets enthused at a pep rally (above, middle). JIM STOCKMAN and Russell Leeper (above, lower) discuss plans for the annual S.G.A. student assembly. B.Q.A. Spofi dx . . Students are fortunate in obtaining this high-class and well-balanced series, said President Farrell when the 1939-40 S.G.A. celebrity series was announced by Russ Leeper. And, after seeing and hearing the three performers, K-State students were inclined to agree. In February, the thirty-four-member San Francisco Ballet, on transcontinental tour, gave two shows in the college auditorium. One of four ballet troupes in the United States, the dancers found an appreciative audience at Kansas State. Yanderbilt Re-lives Travels Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., world famous traveler, author, and lecturer, was another lyceum speaker. He told of the twelve most interesting interviews in his career, including talks with Hitler, Mussolini, and Chiang-Kai-Chek. The final attraction of the year was two shows by Cornelia Otis Skinner, noted dramatic monologist, whose unusual medium of expression was entertain- ing to her campus audience. Have Nine Members Working under the new constitution adopted last year, the Council is composed of two members from each of the five divisions except the Division of Veteri- nary Medicine, which has only one representative. Pep rallies with bonfires, talks by Mike and the coaches, excited crowds that parade Aggieville afterwards, and other demonstrations of enthusiasm are sponsored by the S.G.A., which was instrumental in obtaining free admittance to the city ' s theaters after the rallies. Another feature during the year under the auspices of the Student Governing Association is the annual S.G.A. assembly. Page 28 v»

Dean R. A. Seaton Dean R. A. Seaton, himself a graduate of Kansas State, rules the Division of Engineering and Archi- tecture. Besides his many duties of administration in that capacity, he is also director of the Engineering Experiment Station. As Dean, he has charge of eight departments and the 924 students enrolled. This in itself would be a full-time job, but in addition Dean Seaton is college NYA administrator. M. A. Durland, a popular figure on the campus, is assistant dean. He is shown at right. He is also a professor of machine design. rNESPITE THE FACT that the Division of En- gineering and Architecture is probably the roughest in regard to the amount of studying and time required, engineers take time off from their work to enter into all activities and often become general campus big shots. The division, as one of the tw ' o outstanding tech- nical schools in the middle-west, trains students from all over the country in electrical, civil, chemical, agri- cultural, mechanical, architectural engineering, archi- tecture, and industrial arts. Graduates from the divi- sion are in demand by well-known companies because of the reputation of the school.
