FKANK A. NEFF Formerly an amateur bicycle racer with several firsts to his credit. Frank A. Neff, Dean of the College of Business Administration, is now a vegetable grower and has a fondness for golf. He shot in the 70 ' s at one time, but as he puts it, You have to keep at that sport. Veteran students ' squeeze the orange dry, ' says Neff. Hence instructors have to keep on their toes to satisfy such mature students. The biographical sketches in his book.

Lieurance. Dean Emeritus of the College of Fine Arts, are steeped in backgrounds of the worlds oldest masters of music, that of the American Indian. His exhaustive study of Indian musical customs and culture formed the basis for his By r the Waters of Minnetonka and other compositions.
