ADMINISTRATION VETERANS' OFFICE Left to right: Helen McKinley, Marjorie Droste, Lynn Fischer. You may think you've been in some fast Whirlwinds or cyclones, but you ain't seen nothing yet till you hit the Vet's office on regis- tration day or on any other day of the Week. The individual doing all the huffing and puffing and keeping the 375.00 a month boys happy is one-Dean Ploenges. Ploeng probably hears more T.S. stories in a day, in his capacity as Vet's counselor than most chaplains did in a month handling the boys' troubles in service. Everyone either Wants his check or is petition- ing to get back in the fold-this the dean handles with the air of a professional diplomat. A vote of thanks from every veteran is indeed in order for the splendid job Dean Ploenges has done on behalf of their general welfare. To handle the overflow of correspondence questionnaires and proverbial VA. red tape the dean is assisted by two secretaries, Mrs, Helen McKinley and Mrs. Marjorie Droste. Mrs, Lynn Fischer serves as clerk processing grocery slips. Dean Ploenges

OUR DEANS DEAN MILLER Dean Miller is responsible for much of the ease with which campus and scholastic tangles are straightened and seeming difficulties cor- rected. With Millikin growing rapidly, it has been no easy task to schedule classes avoiding student and professor conflicts, While still co- ordinating the various veteran programs. He has been invaluable in keeping the spirit and smoothness of Millikin at a high level, while still being a true friend of his students. DEAN MAXWELL Dean Maxwell has spent much time and thought in keeping alive the social calendar at Millikin, regulating and advising the various social organizations in her capacity as dean of Women. She has given her confidence and assistance to all students, and has been sincere in her serious efforts to aid them. For her un- selfishness and willingness to listen to anyones problems the student body of Millikin is in- debted to her. 'SEQ-'
