Dean Alderson 'LI think he's a tremendous person, possessing an extraordinary understanding of problems that arise from time to time. These words of Chancellor XV. Clarke YVescoe describe both Dean Donald K. Alder- son, the University's Dean of Men Students, and the position which he holds. A composite of the role he plays in University organization reveals a man who interprets the University to visitors, alumni, and pro- spective students: who raises questions for students in order that they may later avoid encountering academic or social difficulties: and who is a member of various scholastic, disciplinary, and orientation committees. Dean Alderson's chief concern is for the male stu' dents of the University. XVith this year's student body increase of well over six hundred enrolled men, his added responsibilities include the need to interpret to these students just what is expected of them. This necessitates an anticipation on his part of what these demands will be, followed by personal counseling with the individual students. Often functioning as a public relations man for KU, Dean Alderson travels throughout the state, visiting schools, civic organizations, and alumni chap- ters. From his office in Strong lflall he also adminis' ters heavy correspondence both with high schools and with individual students interested in the University. Dean .fXlderson's job, then, is an involved one demanding responsible leadership and organization. ln creating an atmosphere of sincerity about his work, he approaches each problem with the conviction that it is unique and has no predetermined solution. Pos- sessing the dedication of purpose so frequently asked of him, he is an integral part of the llnivc-rsity's administration.
