Through his capacity as director, he is involved in general registration, which is designed for students who are undecided about their major, for pre-professional students, and for students who wish to take a two year course. As a former school teacher he finds this area of direct contact with the student to be the most interesting.

Among his responsibilities is the biannual class schedule, supervision of the size of classes, and dropping and adding of classes. Sometimes a petition asking for deviation from general university regulations comes to his attention, and he decides if circumstances warrant such action as requested. Throughout the year Bailey made definite gains in an administrative way. The class attendance policy was changed from one of faculty policing to one of student responsibility. An academic honor policy was designed providing for a form of student appeals concerning academic dishonesty. Doctrinal programs in agricultural engineering and civil engineering were accredited through his work. . . ., it C '11-. S- fl Q in 'ml' . . ffv f' I ri' ' . ,z-5' ' .V ' ' vi f 3 v 45.41. ',-3 .

Wvian ll. llolsforff Dean of Women Vivian V. Volstorff insists that her job does not consist entirely of . .pouring tea and looking like a lady. Glancing at the list of her duties as dean of women, one will see this is true. One of her responsibilities is that of counseling students. This she finds enjoyable because it brings her into contact with students in a variety of situations. Counseling gives her the satisfaction of knowing that she has helped someone. She serves as faculty advisor in a number of organizations, such as the Women's Self-Governing Association and Student Association. She was involved in campus fashion shows and the W.S.G.A. Walk Out. Through her efforts the W.S.G.A. Style Show was presented for the first time this year, and the scope of Women's Day was enlarged to honor more women. Orientation of new students is her responsibility as she speaks individually to the students of each college. Numerous committees take up some of her time. Involvement in public relations is another of her tasks. This often brings her into contact with parents. She handles numerous speaking engagements. And as if this were not enough, she teaches Contemporary European History. Experimentation with and alterations of the girls' dorm hours was one of the accomplishments of Volstorff. Another change allowed visitors to smoke in the lobbies of the women's dormitories. 0rl17r Walder Dean of Men The dean of men, Prof Orlin Walder, is one of those few administrators who teaches a class besides keeping up with his administration duties. He teaches a three credit math course and enjoys it. As dean of men he works with the school calendar, which includes the scheduling of social activities, organization and club meetings, evening classes, and trips. This work goes on during the summer months so students can have their Activity Calendar at the beginning of the fall term. He also works in the area of discipline, and there is . .quite a little. . to do in that area. Dean Walder advises the Student Association as they work for faculty-student cooperation. He works with student organizations. One problem which they bring to him is constitution approval. He finds himself involved in a number of committees. Dean Walder appreciates his work because it involves students. He said it is, very interesting and plus 99 percent. Students who lived on campus were aware of Walder's achievements.
