PSYCHOLOGY Dr. Martin Freese, enthusiastic sponsor of The Yellowstone, vowed he would do any- thing for the promotion of the annual. Those who saw him hanging diapers in the skit Wash-tub Blues will realize the veracity of his declarations. Sponsoring the Polygraph as well, Dr. Freese is seen in the following photograph with the members of his staff. Concerning the aims of the student paper, its editor, Duncan Skinner, has stated Because it is the official publicaton of the students of the Polytechnic, the Polygraph is the students ' voice in campus affairs, standing for fair play, welfare of the student body, promotion of the school and its Christian ideals, and acts as a historical record of the student and faculty ac- tivities of the school year.

DEAN OF MEN Mr. Mercer, whose outstanding record of schol- arship at the University of Colorado may be envied by all students, is one of the new faculty members. Many facts might be mentioned concerning his teaching but in this limited space let it be said that Mr. Mercer is happily married, owns a Springer spaniel, enjoys teaching economics and likes our Mon- tana climate. Mr. Mercer ' s true-false tests are master- pieces in trickery but it is just such wizardry that makes his classes interesting. BLAINE E. MERCER Prof, of Economics and Sociology DEAN OF WOMEN More can perhaps be gleaned of Mrs. Vera Faxon ' s experience in education by a glance at her record than in any other manner.
