It is impossible to show in pictures or even to write about all the activities under the direction of the Personnel Office. Mr. McKelvie ' s department acts as a clearing house for most of the miscellaneous questions which exert so profound an influence on any college and its members. The Personnel Director works with several student helpers in carrying out the detail incident to directing such opportunities as loans, em- ployment, extracurricular activities, group adjustments, testing programs, and many others — depending on what problems need solving. hHis secretary is Miss Mildred Scott. This year a Job Market was the new feature inaugurated after the office was moved from Philips Memorial to the New Education Building. MR. CLARENCE L. McKELVIE, B.S., A.M. Director of Parionnel Bills, bills, bills! Bills for contingent fees, room and board, and other student financial matters are only part of the work of the Business Office. In addition, there are bills for furnish- ings, school equipment, food, housing equipment, and repairs. Each of these problems arouses questions which only an expert can answer. The amount of detail necessary is tremendous, and everything must be handled to the satisfaction of the State Department, MR.

id Me4t The Dean of Men does not hove the same problems of dormitory regulation that the Deans of Women have, but he has certain duties specific to his office. Mr. Kiilinger, during the years before he was called to the Naval Reserve this spring, had the responsibility of assigning rooms in Wayne hHall to all resident men stud- ents. Lately the enrollment of men has been so great that it v as necessary to find approved outside college homes to accommodate late applicants. Besides this Mr. Kiilinger cooperated v ith the Men s Dormitory Council on every occasion in trying to make Wayne hiall a better place to live in, and to make Wayne Hollers good campus citizens and gentlemen in appear- ance, name, and fact. In addition he was concerned with seeing that the men ' s dormitory had proper fire precau- tions and fire drills. This school year 1941-42 found him acting as air raid warden for the college qx q and setting up an efficient air raid system here. Killy was also coach of football and baseball, and his direction of these athletics gave him still more oppor- tunity of knowing the men under his care. During three years of our stay here, Miss Marie Cotter was his secretary. Miss Thelma Keener replaced her this year. Since Dean Kiilinger left for Annapolis on March twenty-third, Dr. William Vollbrecht has been Acting Dean of Men. Things have gone on as usual under his direction, and he has done his best to fill the position of Dean capably. MISS KEENER, MISS McCORMACK, MISS LITTLE— Secretaries MR. W.

We are seldom awara of the behind the scenes work done by the Maintenance Department, and perhaps this is as it should be. So long as affairs are going smoothly, they do not reach our notice; if they were being handled inefficiently, they would bother us. While Mr. Reilly is on leave of absence to serve in the army, Mr. Freel is in complete charge of the department. He supervises the purchase of food supplies, the care of buildings, all construction work, the laundry service, the power house, the college transportation problems, and everything else necessary to the proper functioning of the living arrange- ments here at West Chester. MR. FREEL Head Steward In and around the Maintenance Department offices, there is on army of workers.
