dmini trator of the Year Having all the mean tasks of adminis- tration of college affairs under his con- trol does not keep Earle C. Albright from being an outstanding college ad- ministrator. The job is easy for him. Not that he likes saying no to people, for ftlr. Albright is a kindly, soft spoken person who likes to oblige people when- ever possible, but students have such im- possible ideas about that which is pos- sible that he finds it necessary to say no a majority of the time. And he says the softest spoken no in all Christendom-and means itl Coming to the college first in 1921, Earle C. Albright became assistant to the president in 1925. Since then he has held that position and more. He could run a college. lfriendly and ever ready to help a student in need of aid, hir. Albright has won many friends among the student body who have had intimate associations with him in their respective hours of need. Among the students who do not know him or his willingness to help, he is the big bad wolf of the campus. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Believing in A. and haf. College and her future along with her past and her students, this man will leave :to stone unturned in an effort to better the posi- tion of Oklahoma A. and RI. College . .

Albright has come up with A. and NI., and may A. and HI. come up as he sees her. Out of sight in a northside office of YVhitehurst Hall sits BI. l,ewie Sander- son, assistant business manager of the college, behind rimless glasses polished until you hardly notice them. lmport- ant is his post as the wheels of the col- lege grind on through the months. All requisitions clear through the busi- ness manager's office before they are paid. He, working under Clint Strong, business manager, handles the office like a veteran of far more years than he can honestly own. .7 K WW f 1 . 2 . W ape, if Jf, -1.

Already past the bottom rungs of the ladder, he is headed for the top -and it will not be good enough for him and his abilities along his chosen line of work. He is blessed with a pleasing personal- ity and a frank, honest manner inspiring confidence in those with whom he deals. Along with this comes a certain canni- ness about money matters that makes for the perfect administrator of busi- ness. -if --A pt... , fa WZ., ' . .

Students who have had the oppor- tunity to know him are staunch sup- porters, and among his associates con- nected with college administration, he is one of the most trusted and honored. Rare indeed is it that one of his age finds so much responsibility placed on his shoulders. lfut the shoulders of sl. Lewie Sanderson are square and broad --the weight is not too heavy. John Houck was an athletic star at A. and Rl. college back when the present crop of students were wondering about whether it was best to continue on to high school or drop out and get a job. An old Rlinslilx' picture shows him in a characteristic baseball pose that will make the razx section of this book look like a drammer. To say that the pose is funny is putting it mildly. lfut he has lived it down and now holds one of the most responsible posi- tions in the chief clerk's office of the college. A hollow checked, dried up little man who sees the humorous side of life from deep within the confines of his office. Houck sucks on his briar and keeps the record straight of the business transac- tions of the institution. Friendliness ffows from every fibre of his body. He has no enemies. People like john Houck, and John Houck likes people.

dmini trati e Per onnel The physical machinery which makes the wheels of education turn round on il yearly cycle at A. and ll. would be the proud boast of any corporation. And so, it is to the many servants behind the scenes-the department chiefs, the assist- ants, the secretaries, the bookkeepers, the stenographers, the clerks, and many others-that this section of the 1935 Riinskix is dedicated. To obtain a clearer picture of the inner workings of the college administra- tion staff, let us select a mythical stu- dent and observe the many contacts he has with the staff. YVhen John Doe is still a senior in high school, he writes a letter to the college seeking informa- tion on enrolling. His letter is received at the president's oflice where Clarice Orton, whose work consists of taking care of prospective student letters and filing, complies with ,lohn's request. All catalogs and bulletins of the college are prepared under the direction of Clement lf. Trout, head of the journalism De- partment. Previous to xlohn's enroll- ment, his parents may ask to speak per- sonally with Dr. H. G. Bennett or his assistant, lfarle C. Albright. Veta VVare, secretary to lllr. Albright and reception clerk of the president's ofiice, arranges for the appointment. Now, john is ready to register. Here, his future falls into the hands of the Department of Administrative Research, so ably managed by Schiller Scroggs. Xlaurine Chilton and lflizabeth Cox are secretaries in this department. First, ,lohn must present his high school cre- dentials and submit to an examination by Ur. lflmer B. Boyer, in charge of admissions and examinations. Vlfhile the department is keeping track of john in its sinb-departments of faculty service, cost studies, floor space, schedule and rooms committees, he makes out his course of subjects. He then presents his enrollment cards to the registrarls office, in charge of H. H. lflynn, assistant reg- istrar. Leah Schedler is recorder. Klohn then pays his fees in the office of Qhief Clerk, 'lf B. lllcClendon. lfthel Prosser is cashier. 'lihis office also handles all disbursements for the col- lege, accepts deposits, completes the pay- llozens of Unseen Workers Administer Business Anil Routine Needs nflnstitutiun Hy WELIIEN BARNES rolls, audits and files all claims. lim- for the institution. Leah Ryerson, secre- ployees include John Houck, VV. li. lllcliaskle, Rose Ryerson, Carrie Van Arsdell, and lflma llrlossler. To provide for hlohn Doe and 3,000 other students every day of the school year, to see that they get the most edu- cation for each dollar, and to allocate all moneys received in state and federal ap- propriations, is the work of the business manager's ofiice, under the direction of Clint Strong. Assistant business man- ager is xl. Leyvie Sanderson. Pauline Streeter is secretary to the business man- ager. Burton Logan is requisition clerk for the department. If John Doe needs a job to help pay his expenses after one or two years in college, he makes application to A. Frank llflartin, director of the student employ- ment bureau. If he is a senior and would rather secure a loan from the Leyv lfVentz foundation, he applies to lliliss XVare. lf a loan is granted, John Doe becomes the ward of Dale Fenton. Fenton has charge of collections and accounting for the YVentz foundation: and also, is in charge of personnel record tary to llflr. Albright, handles the cor- respondence and filing relative to the foundation. Perhaps, QIohn's parents are worried about his progress in college and write Dr. Bennett for information. All of the president's mail comes to Sue Bryce lXflcNutt, private secretary to Dr. Ben- nett. lf, during .lohn's stay on the campus, he becomes sick, he can secure medical treatment at one of the most modern and best equipped college infirmaries in the country. Dr. T. Gray, superin- tendent, is responsible for the eldiciency of this service to the students. He is also men's physician. Dr. Eva Strahan is women's physician, and Dr. N. L. Hiniker is college dentist. In active charge of the college pub- licity department is George Church, journalism professor. Ben Osborn is oflice manager of the department, llilil- dred Zahn, stenographer. A. L. Crable, Clay Potts, George VVhiteside, and L. D. llleyers extend further services to college students.

Deani of en and 'limi the office of the Dean of Klen come all those problems of student life -college rules, low grades and myriad other complexing matters in the adminis- tration of the men students of the cam- pus. f 1 . . . lo provide advice and help is the function of Dean of Klen, C. H. alc- lflroy. Our educators recognize the fact that a sudden severing of the parental ties, upon which a boy has so long been dependent, is not conducive to the wel- fare of the boy. linder such conditions, and without advice from more experi- enced heads, mistakes are likely to be made that will influence the whole life and character of the boy. Dean Klclflroy listens to thousands of stories of hardships, grief, oppression, and youthful misjudgment every year. For each of these cases he is expected to provide the happy ending. And in a vast mgnoritv of the cases he does help ma- terially. Dean Klclflroy is able to help the lag:- ging student by helpful advice. 1Vl1ile he has been called the Dean of filen only five or six years, he was fulfilling the functions ol the ofiice manv vears previous to the time of his actual ap- pointment. Thus he has seen thousands of students come and go, and has had actual contact with them. His judgment of human nature was not gleaned from books, but from actual contact with the men. Thus is Dean Klclflroy admirably fitted to fulfill the duties of his office. No more popular ofiicial is connected with the college, and this popularity was earned in the face of his being forced at times to discipline a number of students, as a duty of his olhce on the Discipline Committee. Approval of the rooming houses for students is one of the major duties of the office of the Dean of Bleu. lfach house offering rooms for rent must be inspected before a college student may live in it. Dean Nlclflroy deserves his place in the affections of hundreds of graduates. He has administered his ofiice so admir- ably and so in keeping with the opinion of the majority of the students and llumplele Supervision of Slutlents is Vesletl in these Two Important llffiees Hy IIELUIRES W!-1llSVVllI1TH townspeople that he is regarded by the administration as nearly indispensable. The high place that Dean Klcldlroy has won in the affections of the students is partially traceable to his belief that college students are capable and should have a large part in governing them- selves, and if given this opportunity, need supervision only to keep them from acting too severely in cases requiring discipline. The dignity of the oflice of Dean of Klen calls for a stern countenance. He upholds the right, prohibits the wrong, and gives the students the benefit of every doubt in reaching his decisions. He is perhaps the most ardent supporter of student activities on the campus. The Dean of Klen has general super- vision of student activities and student conduct. Ar all times he purposes to deal with each student as a member of a very important organization, but also -and perhaps, chiefly-as an individual of vital interest and importance to him- self. The Dean of l1Ien seeks to enlist the students in an intelligent furthering of their own interests and the interests of the college and community. llc-n's rush is under the supervision of the ofiice of Dean of Bleu. All date cards must go through this oflice and rules which have been violated during . . jvifll' rfzreh' and fair jvfay, C. H. Mclirkov. 0111911 rush must be first reported to Dean llclflroy before being presented to the blenls lnterfraternity Council. The oflice of Dean of l1Ien is a new one, especially in the west. The title first became a fact in 1928 when this duty was added to the many that Dean llclflroy already held. As to how well and happily Dean l1IclClroy has filled this position on the campus is attested to by the overbearing of any campus conversation that con- cerns Dean Klacf' lfager to meet more than halfway the problems of the students, the creation of this ofhce on the campus and the placing of Dean l1IclClroy in it has made this only oflicial contact with the men stu- dents of the college a great force in the smooth and efficient running of the school. As a member of a number of com- mittees on the campus Dean llclflroy is able to secure first hand information on the problems that confront the men students on the campus. Dean l1lac is a member of the com- mittees on Class Rooms which has charge of the assigning of the rooms for class recitations. Dean llclflroy is on the group which plans Freshman week. As chairman of the student govern- ment committee, Dean llclflroy is in touch with all of the disciplinary matters which concern the students on the cam- pus. The College Council of which Dean l1lclClroy is also a member is an execu- tive committee which deals with all gen- eral administrative matters and acts as a body of appeal from the decisions of other committees. Dean Rlclflroy has his 13. S. degree from this college and his D. V. 111. from St. Joseph College. He was appointed dean of the School of Science and Liter- ature in 1025, and Dean of llen in 1928, head of Department of Bacteriol- ogy and Veterinary lkfedicine, 192-1, and professor of Veterinary lledicine and Bacteriology, 1023. Dean Klclflroy serves the college in an invaluable manner, and carries out the duties of his oflice to good advan- tage. Page 1-1-
