SMSU M.A.S.H. headquarters by Brenda Hall The office of student affairs is named so with reason. It strives to do everything possible to serve the needs of the SMSU students, whether it be academically or socially. We operate kind of like an SMSU M.A.S.H. headquarters. If we don't laugh, we cry!', said Nadine Nix, secretary to the dean of students and supervisor to the secretarial personnel in the student affairs office. And operate they did. They provid- ed guidance and counseling to a great number of students daily. Tom Wyrick, dean of students, headed up the office of student affairs and was administrator over the offices of financial aids, career information and placement, Campus Union, and Ham- mons Student Center. He also was adviser for the Student Government Association. Dean Wyrick attended the meetings of the Board of Regents, as well, and reported directly to President Meyer. Homer Long, assistant dean of students, Sarah Bickel, assistant dean of students, and Earle Doman, associate dean of students, worked together with Dean Wyrick in the counseling and advisement of the students.

Both Bickel and Doman did much to improve Greekfcommunity relations. In addition to her duties as secretary to Dean Wyrick, secretarial supervisor, and chief organizer, Nadine Nix was the sponsor for the cheerlead- ing and pom pon squads. Traffic around here is very heavyf' said Nix. However, we don't feel that students disturb our work, they create our work. I feel that this is really STUDENT AFFAIRS? Other secretaries in the student affairs office included June Varney, who contributed much of her time to work for the sororities and fraternities, Janet Hall, who took care of with- drawals and the registrations of organ- izations, and Jan Swann, who was responsible for the paperwork on disciplinary problems. The office of student affairs was responsible for assisting with many campus activities and services. Some of these included: freshman orientation, registration, withdrawals, disciplinary action, faculty-senate judicial commis- sion, Student Government Association, rush activities, Homecoming and SGA elections. They also provided free legal advice and published the Bear Facts, which is a student handbook, Parent's Guide, and an organization handbook. The group of men and women that make up the student affairs office had an insatiable appetite to serve the SMSU students and to work together to give the students the ultimate guidance and counseling that they feel the students deserve. EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW about student affairs is here, says Dean Earle Doman, campus fraternity sponsor. 30XStudent Affairs 'Ns NADINE NIX, secretary to the dean of students and supervisor to the secretarial personnel, is also sponsor for the pom pon squad.
