In the president ' s office hangs an architect ' s drawing o f the State college. His dream picture , Dr. Walter R. Hepner calls it. I visualize a greatly expanded plant, he says, including a commodious auditorium, an enlarged library, extensive science laboratories, music and art buildings and varied recreational facilities, including a swimming tank. I see outstanding programs, some created by students, others by visiting artists and producers. All of this is viewed in a setting in which students are energetically working under their own motivation and securing the unique contribution that each faculty member is prepared to make. Defining prophecy as a bit of wish-thmkmg, scholarly Vice president Irving E. Outcalt says, I prophesy that in the course of 10 years San Diego State will have 2500 students (no more, I hope) and may have adequate accomodations for them. Under the leadership of President Hepner, faculty and student body will have pointed the way to the solution of problems of higher education and regional service which now seem very intricate. The city will have surrounded the college in more ways than one; and a big indoor theatre, a Greek theatre and a com- pleted stadium will be regular gathering-places for a college community that will extend far beyond the present campus. eoM la a)tate

New Teachers Join Faculty Faculty additions this year included three fornner Staters who still look like students — Miss Viola Vogt, Clifford Baker and George Carter. Widely traveled Dr. Lauren C. Post replaced Mrs. Charles Moliter as assistant professor of geography, while newcomers to the his- tory and English departments were husky gridder Dr. C. G. Osborn and Mrs. Marie Cook. Assistant District Attorney S. W. Wurfel, whose crude drawings are the joy of the commercial law class, came to the faculty to take the place of the late Will J. Stanton. With newly appointed Dean of Junior Col- lege Guidance Fay Perry acting as official hostess in her ultra-modern office, the en- larged Junior College staff moved into their new quarters in the administration wing on the first day of school. New instructors were Mrs. Frances Torbert, former director of personnel follow-up at Macy ' s who is developing a liberal arts placement service; C. B. Kennedy, first jour- nalism adviser to become an inhabitant of the shack; popular young fH. C. Peiffer, who handles psychology classes; and aeronauti- cal instructor Walter Lacey. Ardent, positive. whole-hearted worker, Dean of Liberal Arts A. G. PETERSON believes a student should stand on his own feet and take the consequences. J. W. AULT. kindly and sympa- thetic Dean of Education, is con- scientious about program advising, gets off subject in interviews, keeps classes overtime. A college woman at heart, Dean of Women MARY McMULLEN answers a reporter ' s prayer, knows about everything, talks news stories ready to print. ' He ' ll do anything for a fellow, Aztecs say of Dean of Men C. E PETERSON, white haired an youthful adviser with a cheerfu ' Hello ' and a brisk walk. 16
