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.

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.

61664 The Law School of the University was moved last tall from a downtown loca- tion onto the campus in one of the big- gest administrative changes of the year. Dean Roger H. Wolcott sponsors Delta Lambda Sigma, pre-legal honorary tra- ternity, is holder of three degrees and has engaged in private practice for twenty-three years. To give embryo lawyers the opportunity to acquire an insight into actual legal practice is the aim of the Moot Court, reorganized a few years ago under Dean Wolcott's leadership. The school enjoys the ad- vantages of location in a metropolitan center and field trips are frequently made to the numerous courts of Denver. Carrying on in their new en- vironment, the budding law- yers chose Sherman Sutliff, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Bob Johnson, who are shown here, and Forrest Mehlman and George Dunklee to lead their activities. The law school brought a professional atmosphere to the campus while the lawyers found the Student Union a valuable aid in their education. 6 1501 D ' sin-4 fu mi aww! nGVff'5l ns Han 9 1 DU! nflflb um ' , a 1 I 9 lit sam- hln lrniiln'
