FACULTY INTRODUCTION UPON the undergraduate students lies the greatest re- sponsibiHty of carrying on the extra-curricula activ- ities of a great University. At the same time these activities can be carried out to successful completion only with the sympathetic understanding and active participa- tion of the faculty. Students carry the obligation of not only successfully completing classroom work, but also of playing their part in the many activities of undergraduate life. It is necessary, also, that the members of the faculty make some contact with students outside the class room. We of this University have been fortunate in having a faculty which is deeply interested in the affairs of the Associated Students. There IS an active participation and co-operation on the part of the instructors in the affairs of the students. As in all things, however, there are some in the faculty who are prevented by lack of time and other interests in their own particular field from any great participation in student activities. There are also certain other members who are so situated that they are able to give a great amount of time and work to the various interests of the students. These instructors are very instrumental in promoting student body activities. To all the faculty, and particularly to these fifteen who have been especially helpful, the students of the University express their sincere gratitude and appreciation. m

Plans are now under consideration to establish a bureau of employ- ment m the southern office on this campus similar to that of Berkeley. The northern student agency during the past year has placed people in positions which paid aggregate salaries amounting to .11,250,000. The bureau would be open to alumni and undergraduates. The Alumni Association is taking a most active part in helping to put over the .18,250,000 bond campaign, $3,000,000 of which will apply on the new Westwood campus. To that end, with alumni bond work ' ers in 700 different cities m the state, there will be two central offices, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The local office organises the campaign in Southern California to assure the University the funds to begin the building at Westwood. The Association has prepared a very artistic and interesting fifty-page booklet in connection with the bond issue, showing pictures of the old and new campu s and telling of the urgent necessity of providing new University accommodations for the rapidly accruing Grizzly student body. In these ways the Southern office of the Alumni Association is liv ing up to Its purpose of serving the University and making it better for having an organized alumni body. Following the customary annual election of officers, held in April, the reins of government in the California Alumni Association were taken over by the following: President, Julius Wangenheim, S7; First Vice-Presi- dent, Everett J. Brown, ' 97; Second Vice-President, F. D. Stringham,US; Treasurer, Robert G. Sproul, ' 13. Councilors elected at this time included the following; Thelma Gibson, ' 25, Milton Esberg, ' 08, Paul F. Cadman, 15, Mrs. Alexander Morrison, 78, and Dr. Franklin P. Nutting, ' 98. Mr. Wangenheim, a San Diego man, will be recognized as a member of the Southern Branch alumni council which served its first term during the past year. In accordance with the law passed several years ago by the state legislature, President Wangenheim will also sit as a full voting member of the Board of Regents. A rather significant honor was accorded the southern part of the University this year in the election of one of its graduates, Thelma Gibson, as an active voting member of the State Alumni Council. This is the first time that our division of the University has been so honored, and is indicative of the time when alumni of the southern part of California will sit in equal numbers with the northern Californians m the discussion and conduct of alumni affairs. Mr. Fred Moyer Jordan, Assistant Ex- ecutive Manager of the Association, also sits as a voting member of the Alumni Council. Much credit is due Fred Moyer Jordan for his work as assistant manager in charge of the southern office of the California Alumni Asso- ciation. Not only do es he organize the alumni of the University south of the Tehachapi, but he also furthers the interest of the University of California in every possible way. The fact that he himself is an alum- nus of this institution makes his interest in its affairs very keen, and the further fact that he is a voting member of the Alumni Council places him in a position to represent the South and present our inter- ests to the University at Berkeley. This year a new tradition has found its way into the annals of the University, that of one hundred percent membership in the Alumni Association. The Class of 1926 has set a noteworthy prec- edent which will probably be followed by all Senior classes in the future. The membership drive was met with instant approval and it is a matter of pride to all concerned that not one of the members of the senior class refused to enter the ranks of the accredited alumni of the University of California. • „ I I ' •S ' f
