Where's Yehudi? Sorry, but that's one thing the Bureau of Alumni Affairs doesn't know. Because you see, he isn't a graduate of State Teachers College. The Bureau, headed by Mr. Fuller, keeps in touch with each graduate as to his occupations and whereabouts. It keeps on file all sorts of records concerning his accomplishments, his family, and many other items of interest. The Alums are always interested in knowing how much they are missed in their old Alma Mater, so the Bureau distributes The Alumnus four times each year, letting graduates know how the college is getting along without their able assistance, as well as what changes are being made around the campus. In addition, the Bureau also sponsors one of the most colorful and exciting events of the year — Homecoming. The alumni are given a chance to keep in touch with their classmates and professors.

Remember — receiving all those booklets about college life while still a pros- pective student; rushing to the mail box on Friday morning to scan the news- packed columns of the College Eye; getting acquainted with the burly heroes who defend the honor of I. S. T. C. on the gridiron and in the cage through the issues of the Prowl; the thrill of finding items about Iowa State Teachers College in the newspapers; seeing the stacks of Alumnuses ready to be sent out to those who call T. C. their Alma Mater; and getting your copy of the OLD GOLD — you can credit the Bureau of Publicity for these memories. The Bureau, under the direction of George H. Holmes, is responsible for all of these important publications. In addition, it supervises the publication of departmental booklets and sends stories concerning students who figure prom- inently in events at Iowa State Teachers College to the home-town newspapers. George H. Holmes. Director

The Bureau of Religious Activities, which provides guidance for the religious life of the students, is one of the most helpful and beneficial of the service departments of the college. This year Dr. Knoff, who is head of the Bureau, secured noted speakers from all over the United States to discuss religious problems with the students here on the campus. These men were Dean Luther Stalnaker, of Drake University; Dr. Paul Minear, of Garret Seminary; John Knox, of the University of Chicago; Bishop Harry Longley, of Davenport; Dr. Milton McLean of Macalester College; Dwight J. Bradley, of New York City; Joseph Sittler, of Cleveland, Ohio; Clarence Shedd, of Yale University; and Rabbi Morton Berman of Chicago. Chapel services, Sunday evening Forums, private conferences with students, and meetings of the United Student Movement are part of Dr. Knoff's college duties. Gerald E. Knoff, Director
