I' They Act in the lnterests of Students HE many capacities in which the Dean of Men, C. ll. Mclilroy, has filled has made him one of the most admired and trusted advisors on our campus. He has served as helper, instructor, assistant instructor, asso- ciate Dean, Professor of Bacteriology, Dean of the School of Science and Literature, and once acting President of Oklahoma A. SL M. College. Dean Mclilroy is a graduate of Oklahoma A. Sz M. College, l'niversity of Chi- cago, and St. .loseph's Yeterinary College. Besides acting as dean, Dean Mc- Elroy acts as chairman of the Ath- letic Cabinet, and faculty representa- tive on the Missouri Yalley conference since 1925. lle has been chairman of the College Governing Committee for the past seven years. Ile was Dean of the School of Science and Litera- ture from I923-IQ36. He has served in the capacity of Dean of Men for the last eight years. Dean Mclilroy was one of the fourteen acting presi- dents serving a short term until the position was filled by the next presi- dent. Dean Mclfllroy, commonly known as Dean Mac is a real friend of the boys of the campus and settles many of their problems tactfully. These Miss JULIA li.

It was through Dean MclClroy's per- mission that one of the men's pep organizations was permitted to char- ter a bus to attend several of the athletic events in the state. Dean MclClroy's chief interest, at present, besides being Dean of Men, is Phi lCta Sigma, honorary fra- ternity for freshman boys. lle he- lieves that by recognizing scholarship. the first year students will be stim- ulated and encouraged. Dean ltlclilroy has been on the campus almost continuously since I900, and his vivid memory helps campus historians to link the old with the new. When the administration cannot recall students and faculty members of bye-gone days, they call Dean Mac. lf he does not happen to remember, he can resort to his catalogue file, which is the most com- plete on the campus. The students of A. and M. can in- deed be glad to have such a person- ality on the campus. Dean MclClroy's cannot be picked up just anywhere. llnder the Dean of Women, Miss Julia li. Stout, the Women's Student Government Association established since l9I29 integrates all women's or- ganizations, namely Young Womens Christian Association, NVomen's Ath- letic Association, NYomen's Panhel- lenic and Achafoa. The Y. Wi. C. A. supervises a room in the central part of the campus and does a most constructive piece of work. The YVomen's Athletic Association under the supervision of the VVomen's Athletic Department. is a strong divi- sion in w'omen's affairs. The VVomen's Panhellenic is active in Women's campus affairs and car- ries on a most constructive program each year.

The Department of Dean of Women works with the Student lfmployment liureau. but has full charge of plac- ing women students in homes for Vtnflll and board and occasional work. lt serves as a means of contact between the girls who want work and the per- sons who want help. lts services are free to all college women and to those. either in college or in town. w ho offer work college women can do. The duties of the Dean of Women are so numerous and ofsuch variation 1 as daily personal conferences concern- ing health. financial. emplovment and social problems, group conferences etc., that it seems futile to attempt to emnnerate them.

The homecoming dance, November 9, was a huge suc- cess, with more students and old grads attending the affair than ever before recorded for a similar occasion. Nlarch 6, the senate gave a Leap Year dance to which the coeds escorted the eds. paying the evening's expenditures, and the girls stagged and tagged, a novelty social function greatly en- joyed by all. The senate chose as its major prob- lem for the year to aid, co-operate.

College. hlr. lba extended to the senate an open and standing invitation to pre- sent their views and suggestions con- cerning the situation. ln response to this. the senate formulated plans to increase student support of athletics, to eliminate unpatriotic scalping of student tickets, to encourage high quality' athletes to attend QX. and Nl., and to make the individual student realize the vital necessity of complete support of these measures. President Fredenberger, Nice-President Nloore, and Temple ,llenbrook constituted an able committee which met with Nlr. lba prior to the selection of the new football coach for the purpose of com- bining student viewpoint and support with that of the cabinet. This com- mittee continued to meet with Xlr. lba as plans took ell'ect and new prob- lems arose. lnto the vear's athletic picture stepped Nlr. lba and his complete re- vision of t he athletic system which im- mediately' took rapid strides towards perfection, both materially and linan- cially. .X new football coach. Ted Cox, former head coach of Tulane l .. with an amazing record to his credit. was appointed. The Senate voted Nlr. tiox t'ull co-operation. took part in his reception. and jointly with lllue lxey. gave a dinner in his honor. The in- complete stadium and the lack of ten- nis courts which has for so long been a pertinent problem. has been solved by an addition to complete the stadium and many new tennis courts are now under construction.
