All male students are his friends. The Interfraternity Council has for its faculty moderator Father Berens. Under his guidance and encouragement the Council has succeeded in building up a more friendly atmosphere between the rival fraternal organizations at Marquette. Father Berens is also associated with the Lecture Bureau of which he is moderator; the Committee on Debate and Dramatic Art, and the Committee on Student Activities and Welfare. He is moderator of the In ter fraternity Council. At the beginning of the second semester of the 1930-31 academic year the growing number of out-of-town students increased so rapidly that George R.

THE 1935 HILLTOP year, giving work to many performing projects that were of benefit to the University as well as to themselves. Under the FERA plan, the books in the University's library were reindexed to correspond to a similar arrangement employed by the Milwaukee Public Library system. Linder this new system undergraduate and graduate research has been greatly facilitated. Besides the two government agencies there had been established within the University the Father Noonan Student Aid society. This organization was founded in 1922 by the Rev. Herbert C. Noonan, S. J., at that time president of the University, for the purpose of aiding students through their Junior and Senior years of college. The officers of this society are: George A. Coffey, president; William J. Kingston, vice-president; Mrs. Joseph J. Nolan, secretary, and Rev. John A. Berens, S. J., treasurer. The Board of Governors, which has charge of the finances and business management of the University, includes the following members: Gen. Otto H. Falk, president of the Allis-Chalmcrs Manufacturing Company and vice-president of the Falk Corporation, chairman of the Board; L)r. Charles I . Albright, special representative of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company; Harry S. Johnston, president of the Robert A. Johnston Company; F. J. Sensenbrenner, Neenah, president of the Kimberly-Clark Company; Albert C. Elscr, director of the First Wisconsin National Bank, and the Rev. William M. Magee, S. J., president of the University, who is a member of the Board by reason of his office as president. The preparation of the annual budget and the supervision of the expenditure allotted to the departments within the University constitute the principal duties of Dr. Henry L. Banzhaf, dean of the School of Dentistry, and business manager of the University. In this work he is ably assisted by Miss Frances Steinbrechcr who supervises the clerical help in University offices. Collecting the tuition payments and other incidental fees is the task of Miss May Dooley whose office is located in the Science building. Since the introduction of the part-time payment plan for students unable to meet the total tuition fees at the beginning of each semester, the work attached to this office has more than doubled. Student loans were also handled through the bursar's office. The Central Bureau of Information and Statistics, directed by Albert C. Penny, is the recording place for all data, teaching references, reports, ratings, honors and other information pertaining to the University. In his office are kept the reviews of the annual catalogues and bulletins issued in behalf of the colleges and schools at Marquette. This bureau files all applications and records of the faculty members and, generally speaking, is a ready source for any information about the University. In the registrar’s office are filed all the credits and scholastic standings of Marquette students. Stu- Hjrt) S. John ilon All rii C. Elirr F. J. Stmrnhttnntf Or. Chat In E. Alhri ht Pjgt Turtle
