DEAN OF MEN Guiding the ever-increasing number of men students at the University of Kansas is the re.spimsibility of Dean Don- ald K. Alderson, Dean of Men Students. An active role in the affairs of student, fac- ulty, and combined faculty groups as well as with cinic circles constitutes the major portion of Dean Alder- son ' s schedule. Ile is a ber of the Men ' s Scholarship Hall Committee, which in- sures the lining quarters for many specially selected young men, and of the Summerfield Scholarship Committee, which is responsible for the screen- ing and choosing of outstand- ing men students both from the various high schools in Kansas and from the student body here at KU. He serves the students not only in an administrative capacity but also as an advisor to college majors, helping them to se- lect the courses that will best educate them. He is inter- ested, too, in constructive al- terations that could be made in the operation of both his office and of the mnuersity. Dean Alderson handles his many responsibilities which nary from high-powered pub- lic relations to men ' s housing facilities with the dexterity of one who knows and fully ap- preciates his position, and it takes some appreciation of his tasks to understand just what the Office of Dean of Men entails. There are many as- pects of the situations and problems presented to him, no two of which are alike, and they require an actively interested administrator to manage them. With the aid of a complete staff, the differ- ent endeavors of the Office of the Dean of Men are treated in a very efficient manner.

DEAN OF WOMEN Dean Emily Taylor, Dean of Women Students at the versity of Kansas, has a tion that gives her a unique portunity of association with students, and Dean Taylor is not one to let this opportunity pass. It would be impossible to consider all her concerns here; however, among her jor activities is extensive ticipation in the organization of Associated Women dents, both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. She is on the tive Board of Mortar Board and the National Society of Covens, both at- KU and with t the national org,7 ization, and her n the kins Scholatthip ' Committee is one of her major concerns. Perhaps most important of her activities is that of ing the principal ambassadress of Kansas University. There can be no question of her fectiveness and efficiency if one considers the number of high schools, individuals, and civic groups to which she speaks, very successfully, of the Merits of Kansas sity, and, being intimately connected with these butes, she speaks with honest interest and great sincerity In - order to complement Dean Taylor ' s work, the fice -staff of the Dean of Women must be more than merely competent. Mrs. J. B. Stroup, Miss Karlene Howell, Mrs. Joel Goldstein,. and the secretaries take care of the complicated problems ent -with women ' s housing, sorority rushing, and senior keys. The Office of the Dean of Women has a ity. Its success is evidenced in the women students at Kansas University.
