Among his leisure time activities might be placed iris gardening and coaching varsity tennis, Dean Allen claims that book reviewing is his only opportunity to keep abreast with current literature: there- fore, he often reviews the book he pleases rather than the one requested. . . Orchestra leader Allen is no more, for the dean has little time to paw the ivories. . . Dean Allen takes a very active interest in campus politics, is a member of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, state and national deans' associations, Lubbock Rotary Club and the Methodist Church.

For two years she was president of local chapter of A. A. U, W. and still takes an active part in its projects.
