id Me4t The Dean of Men does not hove the same problems of dormitory regulation that the Deans of Women have, but he has certain duties specific to his office. Mr. Kiilinger, during the years before he was called to the Naval Reserve this spring, had the responsibility of assigning rooms in Wayne hHall to all resident men stud- ents. Lately the enrollment of men has been so great that it v as necessary to find approved outside college homes to accommodate late applicants. Besides this Mr. Kiilinger cooperated v ith the Men s Dormitory Council on every occasion in trying to make Wayne hiall a better place to live in, and to make Wayne Hollers good campus citizens and gentlemen in appear- ance, name, and fact. In addition he was concerned with seeing that the men ' s dormitory had proper fire precau- tions and fire drills. This school year 1941-42 found him acting as air raid warden for the college qx q and setting up an efficient air raid system here. Killy was also coach of football and baseball, and his direction of these athletics gave him still more oppor- tunity of knowing the men under his care. During three years of our stay here, Miss Marie Cotter was his secretary. Miss Thelma Keener replaced her this year. Since Dean Kiilinger left for Annapolis on March twenty-third, Dr. William Vollbrecht has been Acting Dean of Men. Things have gone on as usual under his direction, and he has done his best to fill the position of Dean capably. MISS KEENER, MISS McCORMACK, MISS LITTLE— Secretaries MR. W.

MRS. CLYDE KING, B.S., M.A. Dean of Women MISS RUBY F. BOGGS, B.S., M.A. Adviser to Women U 4 Wi o He4t Being a Dean of Women or Men is no easy responsi- bility at best, because of t ' ne varying personalities in- volved. Evidently, tfiough, tSsre must be compensations in tfie work, because our present Deans fiave been with us for several years. The Dean of Women and Adviser to Women have numerous duties to perform in directing the maintenance of harmonious living in Main Dorm. Seeing to the happi- ness of about five hundred forty-six girls living under one roof, OS well as fifty-three girls in outside college homes is quite a task. It becomes necessary to devise systems of permissions, signing in and signing out, cleaning, hos- pitality, office files and correspondence, fire and air raid precautions, washing and ironing facilities, preparation and serving of food, hygienic arrangements — all to take the place of the care that parents and a home would offer. There is so much to do, in fact, that a corps of student workers must help the Deans. In addition on attempt is made to provide employment in outside homes in exchange for room and board, for those girls who otherwise could not afford a college education. Seventy-five girls were helped in this way this year. The Dean of Women has also been chairman of the SAA-sponsored College Calendar Committee,- this position entails arranging for all sorts of social enter- tainments for men and women students. Records for the juke box are provided by this committee, but a more important phase of the work is the Friday night enter- tainments at which varied programs from outside the college are presented: everything from a hypnotist to a movie in French or an illustrated lecture on birds.

It is impossible to show in pictures or even to write about all the activities under the direction of the Personnel Office. Mr. McKelvie ' s department acts as a clearing house for most of the miscellaneous questions which exert so profound an influence on any college and its members. The Personnel Director works with several student helpers in carrying out the detail incident to directing such opportunities as loans, em- ployment, extracurricular activities, group adjustments, testing programs, and many others — depending on what problems need solving. hHis secretary is Miss Mildred Scott. This year a Job Market was the new feature inaugurated after the office was moved from Philips Memorial to the New Education Building. MR. CLARENCE L. McKELVIE, B.S., A.M. Director of Parionnel Bills, bills, bills! Bills for contingent fees, room and board, and other student financial matters are only part of the work of the Business Office. In addition, there are bills for furnish- ings, school equipment, food, housing equipment, and repairs. Each of these problems arouses questions which only an expert can answer. The amount of detail necessary is tremendous, and everything must be handled to the satisfaction of the State Department, MR.
