Department Heads The war continued to force many adjustments upon Idaho's depariment heads. Vacancies caused by the call of government and defense positions added to the problem of keeping the University’s educational machinery running smoothly. The Army Specialized Training Program doubled the teaching schedule of many department heads. Despite the heavy demands made on their time, they continued to give assistance to any and all students who needed their guidance. Idaho's heads have proved that to them a student is more than a name on a registration card, by helping their charges over the personal mountains that war places in front of ‘war-babies,”’ The department heads can mark the past year as a successful one. They were asked to meet the war with the students, and they did a job of which both the students and the University can be proud. Dr. Harold L. Axtoll Prot. Prances 8.

Fighteen Graduate Manager Theodore A. Sherman Acting Graduate Manager Control of the purse strings of the Associated Students was given to Ted Sherman last March. He replaced Perry Culp, who left Idaho to take a Red Cross field directorship. The graduate manager's office is the ‘‘clearing house”’ for all student functions. It handles finances for all class projects, ASUI dramatic productions, debate, music, publications, and athletics. The graduate manager is the business agent of the student body. He works for the student body and represents it, both for the University and the public in general. The office keeps the books and finances of the students in balance and sees to it that they receive their full share of all funds and allotments due them. The problem of the graduate manager this year Aste “WW Atta has been to keep every possible student activity in Secretary to Graduate Manager existence in times when 4 drop in enrollment makes fewer people available to participate in these activities. The office has managed to keep athletics alive more than have most northwest conference schools. It has worked with the Army to keep an excellent, full-sized Argonaut in publication. The manager has also cooperated in helping to publish an Army year- book, and in promoting dramatics. An important cog in the graduate manager's office this year was Arline Deobald Watts, Mr. Sherman's secretary. She resigned in March, and was replaced by Mrs. E. A. Whitehead. Both did an excellent job of writing letters, keeping ASUI records, and answer- ing queries of ambitious class officers and assembly chairmen. The future can not be prophesied, but returning students may be sure their interests have been held together . . that the ASUI will be in a position to return to normal school activity, when the “big crowd” comes back.

Carl Minden ASUI President Edith Jones ASUI Vice President and President Barbara Long ASUI Secretary Twenty ASHI Leaders War again reared its ugly head and added further to the changes and adjustments that the ASUI executive board had to meet this year. The two members of the board who did not return, Jerry Skiles and Sherman King, were replaced by Barbara Long and Bruce Jepson. Marian Franson, secretary, left school tempo- rarily because of illness, and Florence Marshall replaced her. Barbara Long was chosen secretary to fill the vacancy. Carl Minden, able ASUI president, and Rey Rein- hardt, board member, graduated at the semester. Vice President Edith Jones moved into the executive post, and Bruce Jepson was elected vice president. Frances Larsen and Fred Watson took over the posi- tions left vacant by these changes. Kathleen Wood- worth left the University in March, and Ruth Leth was her successor. A BMCC at Idaho, Carl Minden took time out from winning scholarships to earn membership in Silver Lance, Blue Key, and Sigma Tau. He served on the Interfraternity Council and was president of SAE, among many other important activities. Edith Jones broke a long-established precedent by becoming the first woman ASUI president in several years. Among her activities were Mortar Board, Car- dinal Key, and Phi Chi Theta. She was president of both Hays Hall and Elizabeth House, a member of the Associated Caucus, and the Independent Council, and held a class office in her sophomore year.
