Miss Eunice Hilton, Dean of Women What a whirl of activity comes out of the office of the Dean of Women! Co-eds stop in to talk over their social or academic problems with one of the advisors, or to make arrangements for suitable and comfortable housing. City women look to the Dean ' s office and in par- ticular to Miss Copelctnd for guidance and help in adjusting to college life without actually living on campus. Graduate girls who are studying under Dean Hilton ' s Counsellor pro- gram and are student head residents link the policies of the office with the individual women ' s living centers. Social education of both men and women is directed by Miss Broad, and Miss Mertz is vocational advisor. The entire staff cooperates with the women ' s organizations, W.S.G., Panhell and the Inde- pendent Women ' s Association, as well as ad- vising a host of other activity groups. Dean Hilton, who is nationally known for her achieve- ments in the field of education, and Assistant Dean Smith try to meet and cope with all the problems that some 4,200 girls on the Syracuse campus face. In doing so, they create quite a busy scene. Few other offices in the Adminis- tration Building have such a steady influx of visitors. left— Miss Marjorie Smith, Assistant Dean of Women.

Our Alumni Association is one campus organ- ization whose work is never done. It is the sole contact between the students, trustees, admin- istration, faculty, and alumni. It acts as a clear- ing house for all communications and escorts the alumni and friends around the campus. This year, in addition to these good will tasks, the association is sponsoring a fifteen million dollar drive for funds to enlarge the fa- cilities of the University. This is by far the hard- est piece of work they have been called upon to do. The Alumni House is a bright yellow struc- ture on South Crouse Avenue. At its head is Miss Winifred Hughes, ' 14, Executive Director; Mr. Newell Rossman, ' 39, Field Secretary and Alumni Fund Director; and Mr. Arthur Gabriel, ' 40, Assistant Field Secretary. However, this is not the only home of this organization, since it extends into one hundred and six local asso- ciations throughout the United States. One of its yearly traditions is to award the George Arents medals to the outstanding alumni of Syracuse University. This year we are proud to say that they were won by Col. Le Grande Albert Diller for Excellence as an Army Officer, Mrs. Welthy Honsinger Fisher, for Distinguished Service in Cultural International Rela- tions, and for the second time in history, in absentia, to Drew Middleton, chief of the New York Times news office in Ber- lin. The first award of this kind was made to Dorothy Thomp- son in 1939. The most far-reaching of the association ' s contacts is The Alumni News. This ambitious project is edited by Miss Hughes, and provides all of the members of the Syracuse family with the constant contact with their classmates, strength- ens the ties that bind with Alma Mater.

Advising the University in respect to its tre- mendous male enrollment and giving individual attention to the personal, educational and vo- cational needs oi men students are the primary concerns of Dean Piskor and his staff. Most veterans are now in the Sophomore, Junior and Senior years, and after 1951 the office of the Dean of Men will be able to close the chapter of their work dealing with the re- adjustment of the veteran to campus life. The housing situation in regard to the men will then be under control and much headway was made in that direction this year with the dis- continuance of dormitories at the State Fair Grounds and Baldwinsville and the completion of Skytop. All Freshman men, except city stu- dents, are now living in University-owned houses. Coordinating the activities of men to the cam- pus as a whole are Mr. Lewis Crawford, who is housing and fraternity advisor to the men, Mr. Gould, who is in charge of the Men ' s coun- selling program of resident advisors, and Mr. Craven, who is assistant to Dean Piskor and takes care of transfers and retirements. Dean Piskor himself has worked long and hard since the war giving the veteran a chance at college again. Right— Lev vford. Director of Men ' s Hous Right, befow— Staff Assistants, Mr. J. E.
