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.
