Rairdon And Sawyer Keep In Touch With Our Students jack T. Rairdon, the Dean of Student Affairs, per- forms a most demanding and exacting job in the ad- ministration of the college. Students come to his of- fice with problems of all types. He must be willing and able to help each one of them find a solution. Professor Rairdon, in his first year as Dean, has proved himself to be a friend to all students and a capable advisor and counselor. His has been a difficult and thankless task, but the efficiency With which his office handles the problems of the student body is proof enough of his competence to fill this post. Stu- dents have found a helpful and lasting friend in their Dean of Student Affairs. There could be no greater monument to a Dean's success. Dr. Robert L. Sawyer, Registrar of the College, is another of those individuals who perform much of his work behind the scenes but without whom the ad- ministration of the college would be incomplete. He has an interest in the career of every student from the day the student enters the school until the day he graduates with a college degree. As registrar, he is responsible for the students' ap- plication for admission. Records of all tests are filed in the registraris office along with grade slips which indicate the student's progress.
