DEAN OF STUDENTS Dean S Newhouse I I I 4ez4dmcn DEAN S. Newhouse, Dean of Students, is finish- ing his third year at Case as the most important link between students and faculty. His qualifi- cations include eighteen successful years work- ing with students of the college level. This ex- perience has proved invaluable to him in his constant contact with Case undergraduates through direction of the student personnel pro- gram. Dean Newhouse's grip on Casey begins at the beginning-recruiting. He is chairman of the Committee on Admissions and Academic Requirements, the Student Affairs Committee, and the Committee on Financial Aids, Under- graduate Scholarships, and Prizes, and he su- pervises either directly or indirectly student ex- tracurricular activities, Tomlinson Hall, the New Dormitory, and the Student Health Service. He finds himself involved in fireside chats with fra- ternities, rallyside chats with the boosters organ- ization, and just plain chats with many of the campus leaders. I A FAMILIAR figure to both freshmen and upper- classmen alike with his quiet voice and ever- present pipe, Assistant Dean of Students John R. Valley has as his responsibilities duties concern- ing many phases of school life. Stressed throughout all the Dean's contacts is the basic idea that Case is personal development. The first inkling of his touch is felt immediately by incoming students as they encounter Fresh- man Week with its planned lectures and psy- chological and aptitude tests, the direct respon- sibility of Dean Valley. Throughout the first year the students have an open invitation to discuss with him at any time their academic, vocational, or psychological problems. Assist- ing him in this better-than-man-size iob are eleven faculty members, the freshman advisers. As instructor in psychology and technical ad- viser to Tau Beta Pi in their faculty evaluation poll, Dean Valley continues his contact with Case men throughout the undergraduate pro- gram. 20 ASSISTANT DEAN OF STUDENTS John R.

Despite universal downward trends in en- rollment in American colleges and universities, the fact that the freshman class showed only a decrease of slightly over lofo was largely due to the efforts of Mr. James T. Owen, college admissions officer. By arranging a high school visitation program that offers prospective fresh- men a look at academic and social life at Case, Mr. Owen has stimulated interest in the college and influenced many in choosing to enroll here. The appointment of Mr. Donald U. Noblett in December as Assistant to Mr. Owen was de- signed to increase the scope of activity in high school relations. Any musically inclined Case student will sooner or later come into contact with Mr. George F. Strickling. A versatile musician with an extensive background in the field of music, Mr. Strickling directs the orchestra, band, and glee club and also advises these groups. At the annual Home Concert, Mr. Strickling leads nearly 200 Case musicians representing the three music clubs.
