The School of Engineering is located on the campus and affords opportuni- ties for enterprising young chemists and engineers. Under the leadership of Dean Clarence N. Knudson, the Engi- neering students carry on successful activities of their own. However, this year, the traditional Engineer's Ball was sacrificed because of the war. The dif- ficult courses that the students who attend this branch of the University must take, prevent them from min7 gling, to any great extent, with the less studious students of Liberal Arts. This does not affect those students who are politically minded, however, and many engineers maintain leadership on the campus. The officers of the Engineer- ing school as duly elected by fellow scientists were Joe Enarson, president, Pat Dun- klee, secretary, Don Morton, interschool council represen- tative, and Lou Mahony, publicity director. The En- gineers maintained their alootness from the campus affairs in order to spend more time with their test tubes. A certain satisfaction was theirs in giving up their traditional Engineer's Ball in behalf of national defense.

zffzefzal Jil 6 Liberal Arts, the most attended of the fine University schools, is the heartbeat ot student activities. The scene of the campus, Liberal Arts is instrumental in formulating the policies that make the University of Denver. How goes Lib- eral Arts, so goes the University, might well express the situation as it stands. Under Dean Edward J. Allen's capable guidance, lliberal Arts has maintained its predominance, and stands on the threshold of a year offer- ing somewhat dismal prospects for the future. The war has taken many of the University boys and will take many more. The buildings on the campus in- clude Old Main, the Science Hall, the C-ymnasium, the Student Union, Mayo Hall, the Chapel, and,beautiful Independent Bill Olson was chosen president of the School of Liberal Arts in the spring election. Ruth Mcln- tosh of Alpha Ciamma Delta was elected vice-president, Her experience as Women's lnterschool Council Repre- sentative the year before made her well qualified for the position. Marion Ball of Pi Beta Phi and Ted Brown, Independent, were Inter- school Council Representa- tives. Ann Balent ot Kappa Delta, who is not shown here, served as secretary for the year.

OWZWZWZDQ The Denver University School of Com- merce, located in downtown Denver, enjoys a national reputation as one of the country's finest business schools. The Commerce Bizads have their sphere of social activity and remain apart from the majority of campus ac- tivities. The dean of the school is Clem Collins. The dominant professional fraternity at Commerce is Alpha Kappa Psi, whose powerful political machine controls and elects their own candi- dates. Dr. Douglas Miller, former com- mercial attache for the U. S. in Berlin, and author of the best-selling novel You Can't Do Business with Hitler, is associated with the School of Com- merce. The Commerce stu d e n t s were ably represented by Orville Mahr, president, Beth Kliss, vice-president, Harvey Theander, interschool coun- cil representative, Leanna Allen, secretary, and Darwin Emry, treasurer. All three of the boys appeared at the spring tapping of O. D. K. so their integrity was unques- tioned. lncidentally, they were all members of Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity, proving that their long-time domina- tion of Commerce politics is I as strong as ever.
