DE OF STUDE T The education that goes on outside the class room is the primary concern of De Jerry C. Jensen and his staff. Extension and expansion of the Dean of Students Offi into the areas of student activities, financial aid, psychological counseling, and care planning leave hardly any parts of the student's non-academic life uninfluenced. Illinois Wesleyan's new Dean of Students approaches his job with a desire create an atmosphere of relationships, whether student-faculty, student-administrat or student-student. This atmosphere must involve confidence in each other, trust, resp as persons, and understanding. In its efforts toward establishing the personal contacts and individual attention whi IWU promises its students, the Dean's staff must be one of action, not reaction, a ticipating student's problems and questions and initiating action. The task of a p sonnel dean in a university community such as Wesleyan's combines the jobs of a ministration of such tangible things as barely adequate housing and such intangibl as development of personal and group responsibility and formation of meaningf relationships.
