Faculty Welfare At DSC Young people are my interest and my hobby.” Dean of Women, Mrs. Edna E. Schumpelt was new to DSC this year. An Education Specialist, she received her degree from Western New Mexico University in Silver City, New Mexico, where she also held several administrative positions prior to com- ing to DSC. Besides her general duties as supervisor and disciplinarian to 521 women students, she advised Student Council, Inter- Greek Council, Panhellenic Council and the Association of Women Students. Her main objective this year was to make AWS functional, and through this organization, to acquaint more young women with the top opportunities available today. Dean of Men, Vaughn Rhodes has been a member of DSCs faculty and administration for ten years. All Selke Hall resi- dents and all men students living in off-campus housing were under his supervision. A new men’s dormitory was under construction this year to provide more campus housing for men. In addition to his duties as supervisor and disciplinarian, he advised Student Council, Inter-Greek Council, Men’s Union, and Phi Sigma Pi, of which he is national vice-presi- dent.
