WSC Services Hospital Finch Memorial hospital staff is composed of four well-qualified physicians and a good working staff of nurses. These are the people who try to keep the students healthy by having regular clinic hours for their con¬ venience. The student health service is growing both with physical facilities and in scope of patients. A more ef¬ ficient unit is the aim. Dr. Barbara Moulton, Dr. James Closson, Dr. Jonathan Thatcher, Dr. William Holcomb Placement Bureau Walter M. Bristol is the head of this efficient function of the State College of Wash¬ ington. The Placement bu¬ reau is concerned primarily with gathering information about graduates and pros¬ pective graduates of the col¬ lege. This information is made available to employers to aid in satisfactory employ¬ ment of students and grads.

The friendly atmosphere that prevails at the center plus the superior counselling has given many students their impetus to “learn to learn.” The center is well integrated with the other campus offices and ranks in quality with any such center in the country. 25 Robin Clyde, Charles Roberts, Norman Harris, Jane Couch, Marguerite Wilmer Seated: Edith Neihl, Harold Pepinsky

Camp, Vancouver, board treasurer Row 2: Stanton Hall, Everett, board vice-president; Alan Rogers, Ellensburg; and Rodgers Hamilton, Okanogan Board of Regents The people of the State of Washington, by law, have in¬ vested in a Board of Regents the authority to govern the State college. This board is composed of seven members who are appointed by the governor and approved by the State Senate. The president of the college is the secretary ex-officio. The law creating the Board of Regents strongly intended to provide maximum self-government for the State College of Washington. The school has been par¬ ticularly successful in this, having been singularly free from political interference. Academic freedom of a high order is encouraged by the laws which define the objec¬ tives of the State College of Washington. The duties and powers of the Board of Regents are broad and inclusive. They include the management of the State college, the experiment stations and the extension serv¬ ice; the supervision of all property, the erecting and con¬ struction of needed buildings; and the custody, disburse¬ ment and expenditure of all moneys. It further exercises the legal powers of making contracts both for faculty personnel and extension employees, and it decides upon student fees. The board also has the power of delegating certain and numerous authorities to the president of the college and does so when it deems it necessary for smooth¬ running of the institution.

President Irwin A. Davis Treasurer Clarence L. Hix Director Harold C. Myers Alumni Association Under the capable supervision of Alumni Director Harold Myers, the alumni association has made a strong attempt re¬ cently to develop a better organization. To a great degree this has been successful. There are now nineteen clubs for WSC alums to get together with their cougar friends. Six of these clubs are outside the state of Washington and one is in Hawaii. Plans for enlarging alumni activity all over the state are aiming for a membership mark of 8,000 by the end of 1951. Another policy will be to grant alumni memberships to persons who aren’t alums, but who are interested in further WSC develop¬ ment. These persons will be called “adopted alumni.” Some of the events which they will be able to participate in are the football “booster” dances held every year. The alumni association is unique in its connection with the college. It is dependent upon the college in that it is housed on campus and its magazine, the Powow, is published by the college. It is independent from the standpoint that it pays for its own director and is a completely self-supporting group. In changing to a self-supporting basis, association dues were raised to four dollars per year with three of the four dollars going to the alumni office and the fourth going to the local club. One of the objectives this year was holding a series of alum meetings throughout the Northwest, with special programs featuring athletic coaches and other personalities of the col¬ lege. These programs were to aid groups in setting up their plans for the year. Row 1: Harold C.
