TI-IE DEANS OF THE University of Denver are noted for their liberalism and progressive attitudes. The considera- tion they have shown to the proposals and suggestions of the variousfstudent government organizations hastbeen indicative of their forward-looking views. It has never been known of the Deans' council to object to any sugges- tions of change on grounds of tradition or because some- thing has never been done before. The student body of the university is justly proud of the freedom accorded them by the Deans. This year has been an active one for the Deans' coun- cil. Their recommendations to the Board of Trustees was in part responsible for the approval of the F.H.A. hous- ing project, including the dormitories and student union building, and installation of the ice hockey rink in the field house. Studies by thelcouncil will determine occu- pancy of the new dormitories. Approval by the Deans' council assured the students and faculty of the new health plan which was put into effect this year. Action of the council during the past year led to the establishment of uniform personnel policies for all non-academic staff members and council recommendations to the Board of Trustees resulted in approval of all faculty appointments, salaries and budgets.
