Besides the outstanding reason of an excellent place to go for sinus and asthma, reasons vary from wanting to marry a cowboy to tossing a coin to moke the big decision. Some come because the reputa- tion of the college has been carried home to them by brother, sisters, or friends. There are a few who come because it was p°P ' 5 Alma Mater and they ore going to follow in his footsteps. Curt Goldstaub from Frankfurt, Germany and Hienrick Kouffler from Vienna, Austria, received scholarships from an international com- mittee in New York which awards scholarships to European refugees. They are members of Zeto Beta Tau. tHinky Chow, from China, and enrolled in the engineering college, come here because of the excellence of the school of engineermg. Her other reason was that she liked the informality of dress and social life. Jean Erhort, from Manilla, heard of the university through an alumnus of Gamma Phi Beta who attended school here. Some come because of the movies they are making here, hoping that they could put their feet on the first rung of the ladder of fame through acting OS extras in horse operas. A few girls frankly confessed that they came here to get married. A great many of the colleges in the east are not co-educational, putting matrimonial minded at a con- siderable disadvantage. One of the big attractions of the school is the informality of dress and social activity. The easiest way to be marked as on EV , eastern visitor, is to wear o bright shirt, new hat, clean gabardine pants, silver buckle, and shiny, stiff boots. Levi ' s are the rule, the older, dirtier, and more thread-bore they ore the more socially accepted as one of the gang you ' ll be. This of course goes for both fellows and girls. A favorite recreation is desert picnics, a favorite picnic-spot being at Sobino canyon. Moon-light horseback rides and steak frys too, are a never ending source of real en- joyment And of course, dancing. Some out of state guests complete their education in other universities, but those who finish the four year course usually claim Arizona as their state and continue to moke their home here. (Lower Left) STUDENT in the engineering school is Miss Hinky Chow of China, one among a large group of foreign students enrolled in the university.

RLA.UY ri ri wwnK at o:0U nieans oil lo the uversity al 7;45. DR. ALFRED E. ATKINSON, TO WHOM THE 1941 ISSUE OF THE DESERT IS DEDICATED In charge not only of directing oil university policies, but also of seeing that the university follows its duties of assembling and disseminating knowledge, is Dr. Alfred E. Atkinson, president of the University of Arizona, To his office daily come problems and questions developing in the many departments which he oversees, and it is through his able and careful handling of these problems that the university is run on a smooth and even keel. DR. ATKINSON discusses current problems with three univers.ty students. The president is ready for work at eight in the morning, and from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. is the only hour at which a definite routine is followed. At this time, the president and his secretary handle the office mail. From then on until five in the evening, the de- mands upon the president ' s time are legion, ranging from welcom- ing the many guest artists and lecturers that visit the campus to attending the state legislature to acquaint it with the needs of the university. The president must sanction new projects and programs of education. He must check and pass lists of expendi- tures, OS well as keep a close check on the university budget. New appointments must pass through his hands before becoming definite. The president ' s handling of the university policies has not only been very successful since the time that Dr. Atkinson took over his office in 1937, but many innovations have been effected. Chief among these has been the erection of the new building for mines and metallurgy, a gift of the Phelps-Dodge corporation High in the list is the vocational guidance department, new this year. The radio bureau, installed last year, has greatly aided in the work of acquainting people throughout the state with the policies of the university. The new girls ' dormitory, Pima hall, was completed this summer under his direction. Latest among the campus improvements is the proposed men ' s dormitory to be erected on the campus soon. Poised and distinguished of bearing, friendly and toler- ant. President Atkinson has made the faculty and student body of the University of Arizona proud of him and his work during the four years that he has served as Head man of the university.
