I PSYCHCLCGY The Psychology Department moved in- to the new Student Health and Person- nel Building this year, continuing the study of psychology with lectures, in- struments, and problem cases. Besides teaching courses in Abnormal, and General Psychology, Psycho-Education- al Problems gave advanced students an approach to the field of clinical psychology. DEANS From the beginning of their freshman year until graduation, students at West- ern find warm friendship in knowing Mrs. Davis and Mr. Pellett. Their hos- pitable offices in the Health and Person- nel Building have harbored many ser- vices of unaccountable value. The routine business of the office concerns itself with scholarship, providing suit- able living quarters, conducting a bu- reau to aid students in finding part-time employment, issuing guest slips, and excusing absences. The problems which many students bring to the deans are sympathetically listened to, and sound advice is meted out. PUBLICITY . The Publicity Department has felt the effects of the spirit of growth which per- vades the campus these days. Miss Draper has served for twenty-two years and Mr. Dunham eleven years with this busy department which was originally responsible for both publicity and all Western publications. But as the school grows so grows all of its parts, until today both Miss Draper and Mr. Dun- ham devote their full time to greater publicity for a greater Western. VCCATICNAL AVIATION MECHANICS The new Aviation Department, super- vised by Mr. Weaver, World War vet- eran and licensed mechanic, consists of two parts, the Civil Aeronautics Au- thority Pilot Training and Vocational Aviation Mechanics.
