DEAN WAHL Unfamiliar to most Oreadites, but of great significance in Kansas City hospitals, Dr. Harry R. Wahl is Dean of the Kansas University Medical School. Brought up in medical surroundings (his father was a doctor) and Johns Hopkins educated, Dean Wahl is proud of his profession and the men whose training he directs. His school of medicine ranks high in the nation. Dean Wahl is a specialist in pathology and a member of Sigma Xi, A.O.A., and Phi Beta Kappa. He insists that the first prerequisite for the medical profession must be the individual ' s unimpeachable integrity. No medical recluse, he has been active in international clubs and debating societies. Does he favor national socialization of medicine? He answers, Please, let ' s not debate that one. —Allan Cromley DEAN WERNER Can two live as cheaply as cm? What is the best frat on the Hill? These are samples of the 64 dollar questions encountered daily by Dean of Student Affairs Henry Werner. Besides being an adviser to men, he counsels the functioning of most campus activities and evidences his re- search chemistry background by teaching a class in food analysis. He regards himself as a listening post and certainly not a campus conscience. Englishborn, witty, and approachable, Dean Werner laughs about the change in coed conventions on the campus; in former days a crimson tipped cigaret butt would have been cause for faculty consternation. Routine-hating, he starts each day with a certain prayer: Please make today different from yesterday. His prayer is always answered. —Allan Cromley DEAN HABEIN A Minnesotan by birth, a Jayhawker by adoption, Miss Margaret Habein just happened into the teaching profession. Came the evolution into administrational work, a few positions in girls ' schools, and presto- K.U. ' s new dean of women. Tall, youthful Miss Habein likes people, and consequently, her job. In her few weeks in office she has found nothing but top people. She is extremely impressed with the sense of responsibility and keen interest in the school taken by the students. And I don ' t limit that to girls, she quickly adds. This is her first position in a coeducational school, and she is finding the new male problem most interesting. Growing up in the land of lakes made her a fiend for winter sports— skiing, skating, and ice boating. Her favorite game is basketball, however, and her primary worry at the moment is seeing only half the games this winter in crowded Hoch. —Don Diehl

Roger Athen and Mary Longnec•er inspect Muss Musselman ' s Tom Bailey and Joe Turner expose Barbara Winn and 1922 Dodge. It was originally intended to be a prop in the Lost Ann Alexander to the rigors of life in Tom ' s Fijijeep. Weekend. Oh Hell, Let ' s re-enlist! Sunshine bounces off the glis- tening finish of K.U. Number One as it speeds Past West Ad, deliberately crowding fifteen miles per hour. Phil Hartley ' s broken-down Buick doubles between escorting beauty queens and doing taxi duty between the Union and Snow Hall, Botany students get impressions of grass before exams. Any relation between this and the following picture is purely coincidental. The University is swelled by a record breaking enrollment, and even the ash trays are crowded,
