Show to Direct a fid to JuspIre the Students FACULTY Most of these learned men are more normal than their four thousand class'followers might suspect. I know, because Fve been with them at Speech Arts parties and at seminar sessions in their homes where they balance supper plates with a student's ease. Fve walked with the Eng' lish professor who puffs on his pipe all the way from the Union to the "L" building, nonchalantly ignoring the smoking areas. Fve coked with the anthropology prof and laughed at his stories. Fve been to faculty parties, gone to their weddings, watched them garden and play with their chiF dren. They are likeable people. They welcome student friendships. John L. Ballif Dean of Men Honorarybench'warmer, John L. Ballif makes hobbies of compos-ing limericks, playing pool, de-vouring chocolate cake, and meeting University-laden trains. The "Dean" prises his horn-rims and Elmer, his car, above all other things. LeRoy E. Cowles Dean, Lower Division That personality is sacred in edu-cation is the belief of Dean LeRoy E. Cowles that explains the ready sympathy he extends to bewildered lower division stu' dents. Dean Cowles finds daily wood'chopping fine exercise and solitary drives restful. Milton Bennion Dean, School of Education I frequently see Dean Milton Bennion "shooing" chickens away from his favorite vegetable patches. The Dean, who likes to play amateur Burbank, often surprises his wife with the results he obtains from grafting fruit trees. Myrtle Austin Dean of Women Making excellent salads, souffles and muffins is perhaps a less advertised talent of the versatile dean of women, Myrtle Austin, than her well-known abilities at the bridge table and on the speaking platform. I like also her intelligent views on politics. Fifty-one |
