asf Q 'zive Page 13 To most of us Hforeignersl' in the years pre-September, 1948, Kansas was a state of climatic anomalies, Alf Landon and the remnants of the Republican party, the drys and the great rolling plains on which was grown the grain for the empty mouths of European children, and finally, K. S. T. C. Four months of orientation served to dispel many of our illusions-not those, though, in regard to the climate or the Republican party. And those same four months have persuaded us that Kansas, though somewhat isolated geographically and by virtue of the KCS's Blackbird, is both sincerely concerned with the tenor and tempo of the rest of the world and certainly the friendliest and warmest-hearted people in this sprawling nation. In this regard, we newcomers, are convinced that K. S. T. C., as an educational institution, and through its student body, is playing an increasing role. We are, though still in the process of acclimation, as a group of instruc- tors, appreciative of the faith and interest the College's administration has evidenced in us by asking us to come here to teach. And we are just as grateful for the courtesy and sympathy with which our arrival has been attended by the community and particularly, by the student body. Certainly this recent immigration of instructors should do much to heal the wounds caused by the great political debacle of 1932, as well as to per- suade a group of untried educators that Kansans are to be a potent force in the world of the future.

If so, come to Room 204, Russ a friendly chat regarding every-day school Hall, and ask to see Dr. Paul Murphy, Dean of Students. Dean Murphy came to the College in 1932 as a member of the psychology staff. He became head of that department in 1942, and in 1945 assumed his present position as dean. Perhaps his quiet energetic habits explain his ability to efficiently manage his administrative duties here at the College, to assist with Red Cross drives and other community activities, as well as participate in state and out-state projects. His willingness to help students with organizational problems has been one contributing factor toward his popularity among students. Dean Murphy's practice of devoting much time toward others is just one of the reasons why his office is a popular place with the students of the College. V This is very interesting work and stu- dents are wonderful to work with. There is never a single day alike, and every day is 4 'h JF N All JIS very enjoyable, says Dr. Helen Schuyler, Dean of Women. Dean Schuyler is an attractive woman with a pleasing voice. She came to Kansas State Teachers College from Northwestern University. She is presently active on the faculty, as well as carrying out her duties as Dean of Women. Dr. Schuyler has and will continue to be a friend to students. To those who know her well, she is affectionately called, Dr. Dean. She has shown her interest in school activities by helping many organiza- tions. She played an important role in planning this year's Homecoming and indicates a constant desire to help students and school alike. Page
