DEANREENEY One of the most worried, hurried, and completely harried men on the campus is none other than Dean A. L. Keeney. And what else could anyone be when con- fronted with the job of watching over, if possible, two thousand male students. If these aforementioned male students were of the quiet type the job might be considered as purely administratory, but then there is the problem of finding one out of every twenty-five of those Wyoming Cowboys who could be considered the quiet type. There are various and sundry loc al landmarks in Laramie which anyone who wants to be one of the fellas must study with definite thorough- ness. Then there is that perennial problem of the boy meets girl situation . . . and what is any human being to do when confronted with the basic ele- ments of college life. Nonethe- less, though confronted with promotions, demotions, emo- tions, etc., the Dean still leads a fairly stable life, manages to keep his equilibrium amid the uproar and is always ready with a handshake and some good ad- vice. 17

Miss E. LUELLA GALLIVER Dean of Women Daily Miss Galliver is confronted with those sad-faced individuals who are feeling ex- treme remorse for those stolen hours of unionizing, and once in a while with a gale of that feminine chit-chat of people who just come in to find out who planted that tree over by the library and end up dis- cussing those little problems of the heart, the party, and the new look. How the Dean accomplished this astonishing and varied job is somewhat of a problem to all of us, but it would be more of a problem if she weren ' t around. Mrs. Elizabeth Wood, Secretary Miss E. Luella Galliver, Dean of Women Only with an iron constitution, a will to live, senses of humor, and fairness, and a most su- preme optimism could anyone begin to consider even making a stab at the job in which the Uni- versity of Wyoming ' s Dean Galliver has been serving for many years. The Dean ' s phenomen- al memory (she can call nearly every girl on the U.W. campus by name!!), and the extreme tact which she uses in dealing with everyday prob- lems or real trouble with college adjustment . . . which, we assure you, goes on for at least four years . . . has made her one of the most respect- t ed and trusted members of the faculty. 16

FAY SMITH Cost of living high? So is the cost of running a University. Where the University of Wyoming gets its money and how that money is spent is under the capable direction of Fay E. Smith, Comptroller. Mr. Smith is an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees and as such acts as secretary to the Board. His is a job of behind the scene co-ordination which almost always receives only small rec- ognition. In addition to his other duties, Mr. Smith is also in charge of the varied cultural programs which are presented at the Univer- sity. r DR. W. C. REUSSER Among the least publicized but one of the most important administrative offices on the campus is that headed by Dr. W. C. Reusser, who has a tongue-twisting title which reads (at least in part) Director of the Di- vision of Adult Education and Community Service, Acting Director of the Department of Personnel and Guidance, etc., ad infinitum, and so on. That means, in short, that Dr. Reusser must oversee the intricate business of filing and rating the many tests which pour into his offices not only from the Uni- versity but from all over the state. Another big job is that of sending out all correspond- ence courses from the University as well as sending out films and recordings from the University for publicity purposes. Though the existance of the office of Dr. Reusser may be unknown to many of the students, they profit unknowingly from his adminis- trative activities. ' 18
