ASKED about his hobbies. Dr. E. V. Sayers replied, I like to take colored movies and play chess. He added, Come to thinfc of it, I don't think I have much of a hobby; in fact, I haven't any separate hobby. TROUT fishing used to be the pastime of Dr. Bruce White on the mainland. Here, it's golfing and surfing. The sight of a fac- ulty member walking across the muddy campus, barefooted, shoes in one hand and a brief case in the other, startled him. MR. RALPH WENTWORTH-ROHR loves to hold discussions on almost any subject with TC freshmen. He rarely hints as to what he can really do; he is known to be among other things an artist, preacher, pianist, and mathematician. DR. W. THOMAS BRYAN, TC senior ad- viser, admires humanity in general, but dislikes esoteric art, paper napkins, things irrelevant, and semi-conscious people. This handsome Yaleman reads and fly fishes for pastimes.

Photography and writing examinations for the Board of Registration tor Engineers, Architects, and Surveyors are his pastimes.” MISS CAREY D. MILLER'S work, which is also her hobby, brings her in contact with many people. She finds Hawaii ideal to study feeds and nutrition. She spent some time in American Samoa making basal meta- bolism tests and collecting data on native foods. DR. CARL G. STROVEN, who recently re- ceived his doctorate from Duke Univer- sity, finds Hawaii pleasant to do anything, especially fishing. He is immensely interested in his English studies here. Although he reads about South Sea islands, Dr. Stroven has no intention of visiting them. DR. WILLARD WILSON, co-adviser in languages, Literature, and Art. says his pet diversion is music. When not engaged in singing, he reads detective stories and plays golf. Mr. Wilson believes himself to be a tolerant person, but he dislikes people who are intellectually laxy.

mmm THE vast field of economics is cov- ered with appreciable thorough- ness in this department. With the principles firmly intrenched in their minds, students learn to face intelli gently problems of today which come within the scope of econ- omics. THE geography department has the entire world as its fascin- ating object of study. Economic, political, and occupational geog- raphy are some of the subdivisions of the department. A geographical study of Hawaii brings the subject very close to home. A REVIEW of the introduction to both anthropology and soci- ology is given by studying the de velopment of human sciences with an intensive training of the biologi- cal and social factors involved in so-called race mixture. This depart- ment serves sociology students. MURALS, frescoes, stage work, commercial art. and designs, in addition to the fundamentals, are done in the art department. The aim is to give criticism and guid- ance in the fields of art and to de velop self motivation and instructor- independence. t
