Joining the faculty as an instructor of English, Miss Kelly was first asked to be- come acting-dean last year when Miss Alice Robinson was granted a leave of absence to do some work at Columbia University in New York City. All girls employed part-time and at- tending college must have their position authorized through the Dean of Women's office where girls desiring part-time posi- tions may also apply. Special permits for activities of dorm girls are sent through this office and absence slips must be se- cured from this office. As the Dean of Men was doing his re- cruiting work, Dean of Women Kelly be- came a colonel in the local USO hostess corps, thus aiding the morale of air base soldiers. . . . colonel — A tmmilc is given to Nan net te Noyes and Wi- nona Worley by USO Colonel Rulh Kelly as she clops outside her office to talk.

Through this office all college men en- listing in navy, army, and marine re- serves or volunteering for active duty in the armed forces, must pass for the dean's signature. When called through selec- tive service procedure, college men who checked out of college had to first see personnel director, William Nicholas. Something new was added to the titles held by the Dean of Men as this year he became the official college representative on the various navy, army, and marine boards. Guests of the Dean on tours of the campus and on recruiting trips on the campus, were members of these recruit- ing corps. In addition to seeing nearly every boy every day, he serves as counselor to the Dean of Men's Council, which is com- posed of representatives of classes and campus organizations. Page 14
