DEAN IVIC DONALD This year's Klipsun annual is dedicated to one of the most outstanding men on campus-Dean McDonald. Dean Mac first came to Western in September of l946. At that time the college was small enough so that he was hired as both basketball coach and Dean of Men. As the col- lege grew, he became the full-time Dean. His long service, however, is not the reason we have decided to dedicate the annual to him. The reason is simply that we want to show appreciation to the person we think to be the best Dean of Men around.. It is easy in an institution that is rapidly expanding, to forget the individual. Impersonality and mass shuffling are ruts easily fallen into by administrators. It is seldom that students get a Dean of Men interested enough in stu- dents to learn their names, hail them in the halls, and be truly interested in them and their ideas. Western is lucky in this respect-we have Dean Mac. Red tape is also a danger in an expanding institution. Sadly, too many administrators forget that rules and reg- ulations were made to help individuals and not to hinder them. Dean McDonald realizes this, and if you have a problem, Dean Mac can always be counted on to go all out for you. Dean McDonald will do anything to help students and organizations. Some of the things he has done include a wrestling match with Dean Taylor and riding a tricycle across the stage during the New Dawn concert last year. He is a dedicated administrator, a ham, and a fine per- son. Therefore we of the Klipsun are dedicating this vol- ume to Dean Mac in recognition of his many years of as- sistance and devotion to the students of W.W.S.C.
