We Are Proud of Our Personnel Department DR. EARL F. SYKES Director ol Personnel No more progressive or efficient organization exists on campus than the Personnel Department. Some of its many duties are the directing of such opportunities as loans, employment, and extra-curricular activities. Aiming to promote the welfare of every citizen of our college community, it deals with problems of student adjustments, testing programs, and whatever problems need solving. Mr. Clarence L. McKelvie has been the competent director of this adminis- trative office since it was established in 1936. Last October, when Mr. McKelvie left the campus to become Lieutenant Clarence L. McKelvie, Dr. Earl F. Sykes took over the department. Dr. Sykes has had experience in organizing guidance for secondary schools in Montana and in personnel work at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York, where he received his Ed.D. degree. Like Lieutenant McKelvie, Dr. Sykes is interested in keeping up to date. The Person- nel Department under his direction continues to exert a profound influence on the college and its members. We cannot speak of the Personnel Department and its competency without mentioning Miss Mildred Scott, who is the very able and aff ' able secretary to the Director of Personnel. New responsibilities brought on by the war emergency are constantly being accepted by this office. Registering for ration books is only one of the wartime situations handled by the staff of the Personnel Department. LIEUTENANT C. L. . k•KEL •IE Former Director ol Personnel Twenty-Jour

Among the many courses offered are the drama, the novel, world literature, composition, journalism, philology, and speech. Because ot the basic import- ance and cultural influence of English, these courses are extremely popular as electives. Twenly-six
