Coed Leader uides, Molds More than being an office-hold- er as the University's Dean of Women, Michigan's Alice C. Lloyd had been for almost a quarter of a century related to everything women students on this campus have done. She has been interested in their welfare in every respect since the time she herself was a coed here, a member of the JGP cast and an outstanding student. And she has retained since that time the basic interests of the coed. Born in Ann Arbor, Dean Lloyd comes from a family of University of Michigan people. Her father, Alfred Lloyd, was a professor of philosophy here, later becoming the dean of the graduate school and acting president of the Uni- versity. MISS LLOYD herself was grad- uated from the University in 1916. She completed her training for nursing work at St. Luke's Hos- pital in New York, traveled in Europe with her family and served as a social service worker with the Wayne County Juvenile Court be- fore coming to take her position as Dean, of Women in 1930. While in school she could have been classed as an "ideal stu- dent" being a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Mortar Board Sorosis and later the Ameri- can Association of University a. Women. Her work has not been limited, however, to the sphere of Michigan activities since she has worked with women in many other fields including a commission to advise. regarding women in the U.S. Navy during the past war, for which she received a certificate of ap- preciation from the Navy. * * * OTHER ACTIVITIES of "Dean Alice" include the board of direc- tors of the Kingswood School, the Chamber of Commerce and the Ann Arbor Dramatic Season of which she was a founder. Known all over the country for her forthright ideas on social issues and tolerance, Dean Lloyd at Michigan has done everything possible to strengthen and pro- mote women's student govern- ment including an active sup- port of the Michigan League. She has been an integral part of all Michigan women's activi- ties and functions. She has believed in nothing but the very highest standards of ethics and has been interested not in pushing students into certain things but in getting them to see the necessity of actions and of thoughts themselves. More than a dean, she has been a friend to every Michigan coed, and an inspiration. Advisors Slated To Aid Coeds In Dormitories Graduate Students To Guide Activities With the opening of the new women's dormitory and increased opportunities for housing, the Office of the Dean of Women has planned a new system of residence counselors to better acquaint stu- dents with the opportunities of a large university. Going into effect this fall, the counselor system will provide each co-ed with a personal advisor who will be able to coordinate her ac- ademic pursuits with social and cultural aspects of campus life. CAREFULLY SELECTED from all fields, the counselors will be graduate students who will advise not only individuals, but also committees from the various dor- mitories in planning social func- tions and dormitory events. Although their task will not be academic, the counselors will be able to aid coeds in car- rying out advised study pro- grams. Living in the dormitories, they will have the advantage of being able to discuss with resi- dents the type of problems that are discussed between members of the same housing family. Counselors will be informed on all student organizationsrand ac- tivities and willbe able to pass this information on to residents as well as advise them in these fields. ISABELLE P. RAESIDE will be the counselor for Betsy Barbour, while Catherine A. Cole will fill the post for Newberry. Jordan ad- visors will be Leonella Wilcox, Georgiania Benesh, Beverly Ann Smith and Dorothy E. Nichols. Mosher residents will be coun- selled by Carolyn H. Pautke, Gertrude Mulhollan, Beverly A. Dippel and Jane Shaw while those serving in the new resi- dence will be Louise Duus, Thel- ma M. Jenson, Rita Chapman, Ilene . M. . Scanlon, . Florence Rosenberg, Betty L. Fladeland, Elsbeth H.
