James K. Hitt, Registrar and Director of Admissions, and Carl Fahrbach, Assistant Director of Admissions, are faced with the problem of ever-increasing student enrollment.

Most non-academic student prob- lems are solved by Laurence Woodruff, Dean of Students. Miss Emily Taylor, Dean of Women, is chief administrator of women ' s res- idence halls and directs sorority Rush. Men ' s residence halls and fraternity Rush are han- dled by Donald K. Alderson, Dean of Men. Assistant Dean of Men Clark Coan is the advisor to KU ' s international students. The increase in student enrollment has put a much greater drain on the scholarship monies which are handled by Mr. Robert Billings, Director of Aids and. Awards, and has taxed the facilities and services of the Uni- versity residence halls which are supervised by Mr. J. J. Wilson, Director of Housing. The raising of money to enlarge our schol- arship funds and to support our building expansion program is one of the main func- tions of the University Endowment Associa- tion which is headed by Irvin Youngberg. Coordinating the activities of KU Alumni is the job of Fred Ellsworth, Secretary of the Alumni Association. His assistant, Dick Win- termote, is also advisor to the men ' s pep and service fraternity, the KuKu Club. George B. Smith Vice Chancellor Laurence C. Woodruff Dean of Students Carl Fahrbach Asst.

The Co1 ege Li73eral Arts ((a::::-Lci Sciences The function of a university is to educate the students who attend its classes by instilling those students with a thirst for inquiry. Con- cerned as it is with all the basic disciplines of the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the core of the University of Kansas, is inevitably concerned with the pur- suit of new ideas and principles. For the majority, their education at KU will be the last formal education they will have. Some students will find the y are unable to continue their higher education. Still others will declare a major and transfer to a profes- sional school in their junior year. Fortified with the broad background provided by their liberal arts and sciences education, two-thirds of the remaining upperclassmen will go beyond their graduate Bachelor of Science degree to do research and work toward a higher degree. The other two out of five students, in spite of enrollment in professional schools, are af- fected by the College as well. Every engineer must study English. Every education major must take psychology. And so on. Every school The small, intimate Western Civ. groups promote a dynamic discussion of ideas.
