William G. Woods, Dean of Men Student Deansl Duties Grow As Enrollment Figures Soar Dr. Imogene B. Dickey, Dean of Women Boys just aren,t as contained as they used to be. WIL- LIAM C. WOODS, dean of men, knows this statement is literally true. When he Came to North Texas in 19377 only 700 men were enrolled and they lived in a small zone extending from Welch Street to Ave. C and from Chestnut to Scripture. Dean Woods said World War II, with its flood of ccCI students? ended the period when he knew all men stu- dents. Now over 4,000 men live off-campus in Dentone and on 200 different streets. Dean Woods supervises all activities of male students except those specifically delegated to another ofhcial. He also serves on athletic and scholarship committees. DR. IMOGENE B. DICKEY, dean of women, also credits increased enrollment for intensifying her duties. itThe problems are more numerous simply because there are more university women now than when I came in 1944:, she explained. In addition to counseling and guiding female students, Dean Dickey also works with directors of womenls dormi- tories in selecting student dormitory hostesses. Dean Dickey feels her biggest reward is the cooperation between students and the administration. 4cMy job sometimes seems only negative, but really it is positive: two people working together to solve a problem? she said.

Three Offices Serve Students Both Physically and Mentally The Placement Office, under E. H. FARRINGTON, provides indirect contact between a graduate or graduate student and his prospective employer. Farrington, who organized the oHice in 1926, collects confidential apprai- sals showing studentsh personal, academic and profes- sional qualifications. His work consists mainly in finding teaching positions for students. HILDA CUNNINGHAM, coordinator of extension and correspondence, has 1,550 students enrolled in corre- spondence and over 1,600 enrolled in extension programs. gMost of these students are completing teacher certificate requirementsf, Mrs. Cunningham said. gConsequently We have more demands for history and government, modern mathematics and advanced education courses? ctWhat am I interested in? gtDo I have enough intel- ligence for that job or a personality fitted to that workiw DR. EDWARD BONK helps students answer these basic questions in the Guidance Offlce. Besides talking to the students, Dr. Bonk, a counseling psychologist, administers personality and interest tests.
