Graduate Manager Gale L. Mix Freshmen lounging in the Bucket early this year probably didn’t look twice when a short, rotund man in a green coat followed a long cigar into the back rooms of the Student Union building. But to old-timers, the arrival of Gale Mix was the reminder of a colorful Idaho past and 4 promise of boomer days to come. Since 1939, when Mix first assumed duties as graduate manager, he’s proved 4 fireball sports promoter and super salesman. Upon his shoulders fall the complaints and problems of executive boards, rally committees, and student body repre sentatives, who have found him always a good listener and a dependable advisor. Ted Sherman, acting graduate manager during the absence of Gale Mix, sparked Idaho's publicity program and handled ASUI finances ably and enthusiastically until early this spring, then went back to a heavy teaching schedule in the English cepartment. Mrs. Virgil Cherrington served as secretary in the graduate manager's office until March, when she turned the job over to Mrs. James Christiansen. Acting Manager and Secretary Ted A.

Greene Director of Dormitories Frank Stanton Bursar M, Belle Sweet Librarian C. A. Truitt Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Faced with an unprecedented enrollment jump, university officials this year managed to gear Idaho's administrative machinery to top speed. C. A. Truitt, superintendent of buildings and grounds, scoured the Northwest for veterans’ housing units, Registrar D, D. Du Sault handled an apparently endless stream of returning veterans, and ©. A. Fitzgerald, university editor, published the final edition of his regular news letter for Idaho servicemen. To these adminis- trators fall the myriad jobs of keeping the university operating efficiently, from scheduling classes to selling basketball lickets. Supreme in the administration of the university is the Board of Regents which, at quarterly meetings, determines policies and final decisions. Regents’ principal project this year was estab- lishment of a sound veterans’ rehabilitation policy. Be ard of Regen ts Latt to right Mr. G. C. Sullivan Mrs. A. A. Steele Judge W. F.

Mrs. Louise S, Carter Dean of Men A sharp jump in enrollment of men stu- dents at the second semester provided enough desk work to keep several ad- ministrators busy, but H. E. Lattig, acting dean of men, handled the job effectively and still found time for a friendly chat with any student who might drop around to say hello. Coordinator of the NROTC and ROTC units on the campus, Dean Lattig has assumed much of the respon- sibility of advising veterans entering or returning to school and served this year on several student-faculty committees in addition to his regular duties. Congenial and sincere, men students have found him easy to talk to, his judgment depend- able, and his office in the Ad building always open. 22 Dean ol Women New and varied social functions, over which she has the ruling hand, have piled work high on the desk of Mrs. Louise Carter, dean of women, this first year of peace. In spite of a position which makes it necessary for her to dictate the social life of the university, Dean Carter can boast a host of loyal friends among cam- pus women who have somelimes chafed under her ulltimatums. Hers is the job of establishing lockout hours, giving out- of-town permission and advocating or vetoing social events before they can be scheduled; without leveling a beady eye on every campus dance, Dean Carter manages to maintain a high standard of social aclivilies, and makes new friends while doing it. For handling a ticklish job efficiently and tactfully, Idaho's young in heart have a healthy respect and affection for the dean of women. Herbert E. Lattig
