BALL C. S. Ball, the smiling, amiable man known to many students as Chet Ball, isn ' t only the man to whom they write their checks. Among his duties are the care of all student finances and insurance, adviser of the housing program, and treasurer of many of the college activities. In his twenty-eight years at the University and twenty-two years as Financial Secretary, Mr. Ball has noticed innumer- able changes in student life. He stated that the student enrollment has more than doubled since he came to USD His employees number ten more than originally, and machines are now used for bookkeeping. DERn noRTon Perhaps because Dean Eleanor Norton at- tended both a girls ' school and a co-educa- tional institution she became acutely aware of the problems confronting university wo- men. At any rate her first job as dean was undertaken without the aid of specialized training. It was on a European tour that she met a school executive who offered her her first position as dean of woman. Becoming in- terested in the work, she returned to college for graduate work in that field. In the short while she has been at the University she has completely won the re- spect and confidence of students. 13

DERfl JULIflO One of the most beloved personalities on the campus is Dean of Student Affairs, J. H. Julian. Cap, as he is known by the students, is com- mencing his forty-second year at the University and recalls the early days when this institution boasted a student body of about 350. The only buildings on the campus then were East Hall, Old Mam, and the nearly finished Science Hall. Dean Julian ' s hobbies are definitely farming and fishing and he states emphatically that he loves people. Cap particularly enpys working with young people, because they tell you what they think. His pet peeve is people who say one thing and mean another. FRnnUERFELD The University registrar, examiner, and alumni secretary is a jovial, good-natured fellow, Herman W Frankenfeld. Frankie ' s wide circle of in- fluence envelops many interests, and because he himself once attended the University, his greatest concern is with the students. Until recently, Mr. Frankenfeld was Mayor of Vermilion. A fam ly man, Frankie is proud of his son, Robert, and his daughter, Patricia, both of whom are alumni of the University. Mrs. Frankenfeld is an irstructor of mathematics here. Two sweet little children call the jolly registrar Gramps. Frankie spends his lirrvted leisure hours in his fascinating hobby of raising ornamental hedge plants.

fW BOARD OF REGERT8 Directing all of the state- supported schools, the Board of Regents plays a little known but all-important role in South Dakota education. As well as being a governing body, the Board elects all faculty members, lets all con- tracts. Regents are appointed to six year terms by the Governor, and two men, Mr. E. M. Mumford, B.S., LL.B,, of Howard; and Mr. Frank Cundill of Isabel, have just been re-appointed. Also on the board are Lucille Hedrick Dory, B.S, Watertown; and E. Y. Berry, LL.B., McLaughlin, whose terms expire in 1951, and Eric Heide- priem, Custer, appointed until 1953. Scheduled to convene only twice a year the Regents have found it necessary to meet as often as once a month in order to take care of all of their business. 14
