ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS Mcrton E. Hill is Director of Admissions for both the campus at Los Angeles and the one at Berkeley. He supervises admissions of all undergraduates, and teaches classes in Education on both campi. Students have dif- ficulty seeing him, not realizing that much of Dr. Hill ' s time is spent in traveling between northern and south- ern California. He has the power to admit or refuse ad- mission to every person who wants to enter the Univer- sity as an undergraduate. When one realizes the num- ber of students that must gain his approval, one wonders how he can manage to retain his genial manner. Miss Mildred Foremen in her capacity of Director of the Bureau of Occupations is well qualified to help the un- employed student. During the past year, she has succes- fuliy presented several Occupational Conferences. Out- standing representatives of Southern California business organizations have helped in solving the problem of placing the college graduate in a job suitable to his capabilities. For that bewildered senior feeling, there is no one quite so consoling as Miss Foreman. Her position also includes direction of the campus branch of the N.Y.A. She is ably assisted in all of duties by Miss Antoinette Kinne. Miss Mabelle E. Corser ' s imposing cash register, which can be seen behind her, is very much in use, since she handles all the incoming and outgoing money of the University. In spite of her unpleasant task of collecting all fines, she is well liked among the students. Even though she is so far away from campus, there is always a line of students waiting, not only to pay fines but to see and talk to this charming woman. Counseling and arranging programs for women, and par- ticularly those women who work, is the job of Miss Anne Stonebraker, Assistant Dean of Women. She is always ready to receive any woman who wants help or advice. Part of her job is helping with the Personnel work of the Dean of Women ' s office. Miss Stonebraker is also ad- visor to Phrateres, an organization of all the dormitories. The Freshmen came to know Miss Stonebraker very well, since she attended all the Freshman teas, the Freshman breakfast, and many of the Freshman Orientation affairs. l[ m rt 25

The work of Harry M. Showman grows year by year due to the constant increase in the enrollment of U.C.L.A. The Registrar ' s office is occupied with compiling enrollment figures in addition to supervising student registration and recording and issuing grades. Miss M. Burney Porter, as Appointment Secretary, is occupied with placing U.C.L.A. graduates in California schools. She finds her job far more in- teresting than preparing the graduates for their jobs. Miss Porter has faithfully served the Uni- versity in this capacity ever since the position was created. Thanks to Deming Maclise, the financial status of the A.S.U.C. IS always in good order. During his spare time, he is frequently seen on the track practicing hurdling, and helping to coach the hurd- lers. His official title is Assistant Comptroller of the University and Assistant Secretary of the Regents. Not only is Hurford E. Stone Assistant Dean of Undergraduates, but also Faculty Adviser to the Fraternities. Besides being occupied with counsel- ing, he is active in community affairs. To fill in his spare time, he teaches Sociology. Dr. Donald MacKinnon is a friend and advisor to the men students of the University in addition to giving them medical attention. His real job, how- ever, is examining all entering men students, and administering first aid in emergencies. Everyone finds him a sincere friend. Dr. Lillian Ray Titcomb, as Women ' s Medical Ad- visor, is busy from September to June subjecting women students to their required yearly physical examinations. She and her staff are always ready to give friendly counsel to women students. Several outstanding new departments have been inaugurated in the library in the past year due to the efforts of John E. Goodwin, the University Librarian. These include a new rental library, a graduate reading room, and extensive enlargement of the reserve book room.

Although much maligned in its early days, Los Angeles ' mud flats harbor has now come into its own. Actual tonnage figures prove the port to rank among the great ones of the nation. Bruin students study- ing geography, commerce, international relations and subjects of like nature find the port to be of tremendous interest as a realistic portrayal of their text-book matter.
