Mr. Carlson Mr. Randall, Mr. Cobb, Miss Benson, Mr. Fricker, Miss Bisbec, Miss Clem NO MEMBER of the W.S.T.C. faculty is as dignified and unfriendly as the average yearbook administration section would have you believe. They are not an august body set apart from the students by an unsurmountable barrier. Each one is eager to be classed as a human being and to be friends with the students. This is the way we think of the NVhitewater State Teachers College faculty- after seeing them throughout the year and knowing some of the fine things they've done. Over 67 percent of the student body is enrolled in the commercial curriculum. Mr. P. A. Carlson, Director of Commer- cial Education, has charge of all place- ment work in the department and also teaches accounting. He is one of the three authors of Twentieth Cenzfnry Bookkeep- ing, and has also prepared texts and study guides to accompany the text. This sum- mer will be the third that Mr. Carlson has taught at the Northwestern Uni- versity Graduate School, y SIX faculty members specialize in teaching the basic commercial sub- jects. In addition to teaching typewriting T201 Miss Jane Clem has revised her book on The Techniques of Teaching Typing. The new edition is expected to appear next January. Miss Marie Benson took a leave of absence during the hrst semester to study at Northwestern University. Miss Gunda Holm took her place in the shorthand and typing department while she was gone. Both Miss Clem and Miss Bisbee spent part of last summer traveling in Canada. Miss Edith Bisbee recently revised Dictation for Beginners, a book published some time ago. Mr. W. H. Fricker expects to continue work on his Ph.D. this summer. Al- though he is a certified public account- ant, it appears that accounting courses are going to be made more comprehen- sive than ever. Mr. H. Randall traveled in the east last summer and brought home a bride. Cooperatives are still one of his major interests since he and Mr. Daggett published Consnvners Coojuemtiife Aa'- ventnres. Practice teachers at City High along with accounting classes in the college. keep Mr. H. J. Cobb continually on the go.

Wells took a vacation from teaching psychology and went to Chicago Uni- versity to study during the second semes- ter. Dr. Wfm. T. Meyer, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa, came to W.S.T.C. to fill his place. Freshman history courses are being remodeled by Dr. E. H. Evans and Dr. M., Weidman. .Ambitious speakers turned out inefullqsforce for Dr. Evans' class indebate. Dr. Weidman is trying to improve student' recreation. As one of the social committee he has made more in- formal mixers possible. ETTING a new house built was Mr. W. C. Fischer's main interest this year. Commercial geography and a new E221 course in conservation filled up school hours. Miss Olive Thomas is working on her doctor's thesis in geography which concerns the Green Bay region in Wis- consin. Mr. Chopp came to Whitewater last fall for the first time, newly married and full of enthusiasm to put in new courses in biology. The big enrollment in his elective labs shows student ap- proval. Mr. R. C. Clark continued his experiment of eliminating the dissecting laboratory in his freshman biology sec- tions. It has proved so effective that this year he also used it in advanced courses. Mr. R. J. Brooks of the chemistry de- partment spent last summer traveling in Arizona and other southern states. Dr. Evans Dr. Weidman Mr. Fischer Miss Thomas
