if .M 1 vi ' ati Hfmvm' S. NVA1,'1'En Harvey S. Walter, Director of Admissions, heads the group of sixteen men who counsel prospective Stephens students in the girls' own homes. These men, who cover the forty-eight states, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba and Canada, promote the interests of the College and main- tain a harmonious contact between the College and the families of the students. Because of the rapid growth of the College, the need of such a service has been felt both by parents of students and by the administration. Admissions counselors are therefore carefully selected for their interest and experience in the problems of education. The individual guidance of the student and the evaluation of her proposed course, both for vocational training and for transfer to other colleges and universities, are typical problems skillfully handled by the Stephens College field men. The original staff for the year 1941-42 numbered eighteen. Robert T. Harrell, who was inducted by the army, and Robert D. Amaden have left. The following sixteen men are carrying on the admissions work in the indicated territories: William A. Baker, Ohio and West Pennsylvania, George W. Bal tzer, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Southern Indiana, Robert Bird, the Southwest, L. W. Bowman, lllinois, except Chicago, Clum Bucher, Missouri and Kansas, William David Carr, North Caro- line, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, D. C., Delaware, Maryland and Eastern Pennsylvania, Raymond Dooley, Eastern New York, New Jersey and New England, Roy T. Gallemore, Southern states, Machin Gardner, the North- west, including Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Northern California, J. Scott Hemry, Chicago area and Western New York, Lowell Hildebrand, North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, John B. Kyd, Okla- homa, Louisiana and Arkansas, Lynn A. Phillips, Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska, Vernon M. VVilliams, Texas, Harvey S. Walter, Florida. Prior to the war, Mr. Bird went to Hawaii and Mr. Walter traveled in Puerto Rico and Cuba.

As one means of promoting growth, the Extra-Class Division has been organized as one of the eight major divisions of the College. Dr. Merle Prunty, head of the division, believes that out-of-class activities allford and encourage practice in the relinement of social behavior and group living, that tl1e college setting is a normal, natural com- munity, in which the desires and efforts of students to organize and maintain a co-operative, controlled, and democratic college group life can be realized. In order to put this philosophy into pracl.ice, it is the policy of the College to assign students as much direct responsibility as possible for the determination, development, and administration of the campus life. Many students can obtain necessary self-development experiences if responsibilities and opportunities are Wide-spread over the student body. Each girl, there- fore, may hold only one elective oflice. The aim of the College in building an adequate extra- class program is three-fold. In an elfort to meet the present and future leisure-time needs of the girls, clubs, hobby groups, honorary sororities, sports and cultural programs are maintained. Through the student govern- ment and a favorable social and physical setting, a normal community environment is provided for the develop- ment and practice of desirable habits and abilities. Students are also offered personal help in meeting their individual problems. The student administration of Stephens College is carried on by the Civic Association, in which all the H' ev 1 if nf' .Ji Page Z1 l Da. MERLE PRUNTY students automatically become members upon enroll- ment in the College. All organizations of the school are directly connected with Civic Association through- one of its eight major sections: Administrative Division, Campus Service Division, Pan-Hellenic Division, Stu- dent Activity Division, Division of Publications, Stu- dent Congress, and Division of Classes.
