tfdttu ' H JtratcrJ Boasting the biggest enrollment in the University ' s history, the administration was faced with the difficult task of finding class- room space and living quarters for many of the new students. With the fall semester climbing to an all-time high of 1820 stu- dents and the spring semester dropping off to 1649, the need arose for additional classrooms. Temporary classrooms were constructed in front of the Engineering building to alleviate the crowded conditions. The administration again was forced to use the old gymnasium for men ' s sleeping quarters. With the beginning of the fall semester no new fees were added to registration, but there was an increase for the meals at the dining hall. The monthly rates were increased from $40 to $45.

MISS ELAINE MOBLEY bean ejj Women The Dean of Women ' s office, headed by Miss Elaine Mobley, was confronted with vast student problems again this year. The office handles all job place- ments on the campus, and often places students in positions in downtown business establishments. Dean Mobley gave group and individual counseling on academics and preparation for vocations upon graduation. The Dean of Women is the head of the social calendar committee and thus all dances and other campus activities must clear through her office. Her secretary then sends a socially approved list of campus activities to all organizations. Dean Mobley climaxed her second year at the University of Nevada by going to the National Convention of Deans of Women in Chicago. The convention was held in early April at the Stevens Hotel. At this convention the Dean had the opportunity to confer with all the leaders in her field. She returned with many new ideas on student government, girls ' dormitories, and sororities, which she hopes to install at Nevada in the near future. 21
