 DEAN ERNEST C. WEBSTER, the human- itarian, has no hobby at all! The ex- planation is that he is too busy with his work —advising and guiding students. This genial Dean is characterized by his pipe, bow tic, spectacles . . . and, oh yes, his lauhala hat. COMMUNITY activities, vocational guid- ance, and aiding students in employ- ment problems take up most of the time of Assistant Dean of Student Personnel Cenie S. Homung. She counsels hundreds of wo- men students throughout the year as well. RESPONSIBLE for the supervision of the University library and Teachers College branch since 1928, Miss Mary P. Pringle has been with the University for more than a decade. At present she is on leave, spending her time in the Mojave Desert. IN a friendly tone. Registrar Helen B. Mac- Noil admitted spending her spare time go- ing to concerts, and puttering around her home and garden in Manoa. Every student sooner cr later gets to meet her, for she is in charge of scheduling semester courses MODEST and poised, he Waikiki-tans him- self often. He holds a certificate of Nep- tune, having crossed the equator in a man-o'- war. No one plays a more important part in handling business affairs than Mr. Gerald R. Kinnear, head of finances since 1925.

The economics department head has traveled extensively. PROFESSOR H. A. WADSWORTH has been devoting his attention to things agricul tural since 1928. His pet peeves are the in- sipid, half-hour of movie build-up, called 'Screen Snapshots', and his cat's friends who call after bedtime.
