DEAN DIRECTS ST DE TS Sprinkling his psychology lectures with illustratixe anecdotes gleaned from his varied experiences, and manifesting a real concern for the welfare of students. Dr. Russell Grow is dean of Southwestern College. Ifxperience as personnel interviewer and joh analyst in wage and salary administration with Douglas Aircraft, and as wage analyst with the XX'ar Lahor Board has given Dean Grow wide insight. He came to South- western from Barnsdall, Oklahoma, where he was superintendent of schools, and he has taught in various Uklahoma colleges. Wliile living in jenks, Oklahoma, a suhurh of Tulsa, he owned, edited. and puhlished the fever Timex. In his two-fold task of teaching and administration, Dean Grow has already hecome an integral part of Southwestern, although he was new to the school last fall. One trait of our dean is his sincere regard for the students who come to him for counsel. In acting as counselor of men, the dean aids the student in adjust- ing to college life. An emphasis on life situations and an application to actual teaching prohlems are part of his freshman psychology as well as upperclass courses in educational and adolescent psychology, Page 23

Student Council. discussing a recommendation in its usual jovial manner. Dave McGuire raises his hand to ask Prexy Bill Cloud a question. Row l: Hodges, Brown, McGuire, Smith, Thorne. Row 2: Aley, Pruitt, Stanley, Orendorff. Row 3: Baird, Samuelson. GOVER OURSELVES Back row: Scott Through the student council, composed of four regu- lar members and two alternates from each of the four classes, the student body governs itself in all matters concerning extra-curricular activities, makes recommen- dations to the administration, and plans and administers the divisions of the student activity fee to its various purposes: publications, sports, recreation, forum speak- ers, and Student Union. The student council meets each Thursday at 7 in the evening to discuss and make de- cisions on subjects suggested by students, faculty mem- bers, or the president of the student body. There are five standing committees - assembly, social, activities, finance, and Student Union. This year the student council planned and executed many activities - the annual Building of the Mound Ceremony, when each student adds his rock to the pile north of Richardson Hall and a Southwestern alumnus fthis year Rod Brownj inspires new and old Builders to carry into practical affairs the spirit of building - the freshman mixer, a party which tries and usually succeeds in mixing the freshman up - class elections, Homecoming, including the rally, the assembly and the parade - all school parties, field day, council break- fast, and selling Southwestern T-shirts and stickers. It sets the dates and rules for many activities, such as campaigns, elections, etc. One of its privileges is to select each semester one day for a holiday. First semes- ter the day before Homecoming was chosen to permit the students to trim their floats for the parade and the second semester a holiday was promised if the basket- ball team could defeat Wichita U. With that incentive, the team, with the backing of an exceptionally enthus- iastic crowd, won the game and the holiday. Pa Q -63 ge 25 5 fp-...S i 9
