DUDLEY Educational Research ALFRED DAVIS Associate Director ALFRED JOHNS Registrar Most of the keepers of the Institute house and hearth will still be around next fall, but some of them are off to tangle with smaller abodes, Harry H, Rider, Sr., Superin- tendent of Buildings and Grounds (that's house and lawn), and Mrs. Mary Robson, Director of the Women's Residence Halls and advisor to the student government (that’s director of bedmaking and chores), are two oF next years gaps in the RIT family. Harry Rider has been hammering and wire pulling around the Institute since 1920, as a carpenter and elec- trician. About 11 years ago he was promoted to the bigger worries of his present job.

Educational Research War II she was hovering over the womens dorm and helping the youthful student government to do its daily chores. Now Mary will help her husband to rip apart (presumably only to put back together again) their recently-acquired farmhouse in the village of Scottsville. Miss Marian Behr has spent her five years next to the phonograph guarding the records and keeping a spare eye trained on the calendar and social activities of Clark Union. Instead of ripping apart or building anything, she is going to Florida to lie in the sun. Meanwhile, back in the Institute house, Dr. Ellingson will still greet his guests at the front door, whisk them through the rooms and out the hack door, proud of the housekeeping that he sees. Comptroller Fred Kolb and his staff grow blearv-eyed over the budget envelopes, as they switch money back and forth to see that everything comes out in the black. In the library Mrs. Marion Steinmann seeks out an obscure publication with all the avidity that she does a Patula warbler. While Registrar A1 Johns meets the mail- man at the door and holds him upside down by the ankles to shake loose every possible student application. Buried in newspaper clippings, letters to the editor, and photographs, Al Davis, Director of Public Relations, and publicity man Al Booth, sit in front of a TV set, so that they will not miss checking any of their story of the happy RIT home. Off in a den Dr, Leo Smith and his Counseling Center group study the latest in educational developments from other homes of learning. Just down the hall, Nurse Mrs. Lena Karker and Dr. Victor Murphy check the medicine cabinet for some relief for student ills. Mrs. Robson and Harry Rider arc going to their domes- tic chores with a lot of experience in a bigger, more complicated, and noisier abode, while Miss Behr turns her key in the lock and heads for Florida, Operating telephone switchboard Twelve
