Colonel Urban E. Rohr, Dean of Men, faces the responsibility of over 2,000 men who are a major part of Creighton ' s record-breaking en- rollment. His numerous duties include chairman- ship of the Committee on Parking, on and off campus housing for male students, and discipline, which he considers the smallest of his tasks. Col. Rohr, who came to Creighton in 1961 from Verdun, France, where he held a logistical command position, was Professor of Military Sci- ence until January 1964. He graduated from the University of Dayton in 1938 with a degree in electrical engineering. Deans Aid Student Activity 4 In her position as Dean of Women, Mrs. Eileen B. Lieben each year must assume more responsibility as the number of coeds increases. This year, in the College of Arts and Sciences, she was no longer concerned with a minority but an equality. As Dean she works with the coeds, especially in their out-of-class activities, by coun- seling and by moderating Gamma Pi Epsilon. The major portion of her time, however, is spent on the administration of the women ' s residence halls. This duty will be increased with the open- ing of Kiewit Hall in 1966. After receiving her Master ' s degree in English from Creighton in 1961, Mrs. Lieben served as an English teacher and Assistant Dean of Women for one year. She attained her present office in 1963. 20
