dministrative Officials The University administrative personnel expe- rienced several changes in their ranks during the past year. W. A. Goss, former purchasing agent, was replaced by Mrs. Evelyn M. Albrecht last spring. Dr. Harold D. Cramer, university physician, was called into the Army in February. Dr. J. G. Wilson and Dr. C, J. Klaaren, Moscow physicians, jointly assumed the responsibility for student health until the position was filled. The “unsung heroes’ of Idaho, the Adminis- trative officials, do all the duties that the Idaho student takes for granted. Maintaining Univer- sity buildings and grounds has been no easy . task, with labor shortages, priorities, and other difficulties to face. The University infirmary has had the added job of caring for both Army and Navy personnel, as well as students. With the advent of war, the director of dormitories was given the extra job of providing housing facilites for service men training on the campus. Evelyn M. Albrecht ting Purchasing Agent Dr. Harold D. Cramer University Physician Oren A. Fiteqerald University Editor Robert F. Greene Director of Dormitories Cc. A Truitt Supt. of Buildings end Grounds Ella L. Olesen Registrar M. Belle Sweet brarian Frank Stanton u The purchasing agent has had the difficult job of finding and then obtaining needed sup- plies and equipment for the University. The job was handled well—no pinch was felt by the students this year. These difficulties were not handled by sitting back and wishing. Hard work and hard thought accompanied each administrative accomplish- ment. Government priorities, labor shortages, cuts in available funds, and other exigencies of war harrassed but did not stop the group. Despite the many problems and added responsi- bilities, University administration continued to operate smoothly and efficiently. The “hats off’ department gives a vote of thanks to Idaho's administrative officials. They have proved the old adage on the importance of the ‘man behind the gun’’—without him, the fight is lost.
