DEAN A.L.L HBE Whatever his renown among the experts tor tech- nical perfection, tone quality, and general musician- ship, genial Dean Albert Lukken is probably most set apart to non-musicians on the campus because of his ability to entice 50 students into giving up their lunch hours three times a week to sing in the A Cappella choir. His glory shines torth just as brightly whether he's leading jingle Bells at the T. U. Y Christmas party or urging temperamental artists to try that C just once more. D AN L.5. ELEUD A grown-up version of the youth who insists know- ingly that there can't be a Santa Claus, Dr. L. S. McLeod delights in debunking lurid movies where the villian subdues the heroine with one glance from beneath his john L. Lewis eyebrows. As just penance, he is forced by public demand every year to demon- strate honest-to-goodness hypnotism. He denies, however, that he mesmerizes students into enrolling in those required courses without more ado: that's simply the Dale Carnegie brand ot mak- ing friends that has so tirmly established his popu- larity as dean ot the college ot arts and sciences.

PEHSIJNNEI. ST W. E. Marris, Jr. A southern accent announcing, Glenn Dobbs downed by the mass in a voice behind T. U.'s Going to College movie . . . A rival for the strictest cinematic managing editor in his require- ments for journalism classes ...that's W. E. Morris, lr., suh, gentleman, scholar and head of the Personnel Department at T. U. A go-between for the students and employers-to-be, his work and patience are exemplified by the awed comment of the senior who came out of his office saying, Gosh, and he thanked me for coming in to see him. Mary Clay Williams Till-of-all-trades, Miss Mary Clay Williams successfully munches doughnuts and joins in on Dig for the Clam on T. U. Y picnics, book reviews for Senior Staff, and keeps four sororities on speaking terms while making rush rules in Pan- Hellenic. Long noted for serving wonderful cheese and chocolate tid- bits at teas and for maintaining the student date book, she has this year added a new accomplishment to her list: pedal- ling her ultra-up-to-date bicycle to school. H. U. Eliasa Few men other than H. D. Chase, counselor to men, have the mental agility to illustrate the dissecting of a frog and to advise worried house managers how many football players can safely sleep in one room without danger to life and limb. Known pri- marily as the dean, he accepts all such diversified miscel- laneous tasks as a part of the day's work and proceeds with undisturbed equanimity. A member of the faculty for a quarter of a century, his throne is a swivel chair in his office in Robertson Hall.

D AN H.L.LA EE HEI lust a King Pat at heart, the dean of the Engineers, R. l.. Langenheim, is as devoted to green shirts and slide rules as the most ardent engineering student. So heart-and-soul engrossed is he with the engineers that he even got an extra-short haircut during the week of the Queen-Patricia-lcidnapping ruckus. Between sessions of trigonometry and professional advice to engineers as to where to find a good oil lease to practice on in the future, he stalks about uprooting and transplanting trees and shrubbery, all for the beauty of the campus. Note his expression when he sees thumb tacks in the woodwork! DEAN . . P XSD t Whether it is because of his shining personality or his influential connections the fact remains that Dean A. M. Paxson receives more gifts than any other professor on the campus. First it was a bushel of apples from an ambitious class. Then came a can of super-pretzels from Colleague Nittinger. Most ingenious was the box of B. C. Powders from a hope- ful student who heard Pax explain that he gives a test every time he has a headache. In addition to his gift-attracting ability, he prides himself especially on his hard courses, pop quizzes, and elaborate cowboy boots.
