Dean, Panhellenic Council and Orientation coordinator; Miss Mary Ruth Smith, Upper-class Advisors and cooperative residences coordinator; and Dr. Margaret Berry, special research study.

Lawrence Turner Franks, Dean of Men Dean of Men The staff of the Dean of Men worked with groups ranging from fraternities, hous- ing, and student organizations to disciplining and enforcement of parking and traffic reg- ulations. This wide divergence of responsi- bility encouraged students and their families to turn to the Dean ' s office for counseling and information in many matters related to University life. In addition, staff members served on faculty-student committees and acted as advisers to several student groups. The general information provided by the staff was helpful to the new and return- ing student, parents, faculty, and alumni in- terested in the University, as were their re- ferrals to the appropriate office for more specific information. The staff included Dean Lawrence Turner Franks; Edwin Booth Price, coordinator of student activities; David Hil- dreth Thomas, student group adviser,- and Frank B. Campbell, student group adviser.
