Behind the desk of the library we find Mrs. Katherine Bowden, who has served for quite a few years in that ca- pacity. It is her task to watch over the books, extract fines from the slackers, and see to it that her student helpers get in their hours of work. There are many val- uable volumes given into her keeping, and she takes good care of them. Miss Katherine Kaiser is in charge of Altruria Hall, the women's dormitory, where she is regent, counselor, and friend. One of her other outstanding duties is that of Director of Women's Athletics. ln Lembke Hall, the dormitory for men, Mrs. Lydia Merker holds sway, is known affectionately to her boys as Mother Merker. This year among the other extraordinary advancement was the establishmen-t of a student placement bureau, headed by our active, energetic Mr. Kaufmann from Biology Way.

Miss Mildred Carlson is the office manager of the Business Office. Acting as student secretaries who solicit new students and aid in keeping the old ones happy are two tall, suave gentlemen, Mr. Henry Stoepplewerth and Mr. Frederick Rechlin. They can present the appeal of Valparaiso University in words which we feel but cannot ourselves express. Across the way in the Department of Public Relations, publicity and solicitation of funds for the University are taken care of. Acting as head of this department is Mr. Gustav W. Lobeck, with Mr. Karl H. Henrichs as secretary of Permanent Funds. Mr. Fred Mueller is Field Representative. KATHERINE BOWDEN, B.S. KARL H. HENRICHS, M.A. KATHERINE M. KAISER, M.A. FRED H.
