Present day problems for Dean Heed include aiding college men to find employment, helping to situate the boys in comfortable, livable dormitories or off-campus boarding houses ami solving any problems which the college men find in school. The Men's Union is the representative group of col- lege men who govern and act on all problems concerning the masculine factor on the campus. Dean Reed helps to further his aim to maintain harmony between the men and various groups on the campus by being per- sonally represented in Men’s Union to help govern the men’s group. Leslie I. Reed, Dean o f M en, still finds plenty of duties in spite of the fact there is a decided decreasing number of men on the campus. With the coming post-war days Dean Reed will again find himself helping men students adjust themselves to college- work and problems. The future College Joe” will learn to appreci- ate Dean Reed's sympathetic and understanding nature, and the college dances of old days will again have a willing chaperon.
