religious groups.

sociation's activities and to use
Lane Hall facilities, including a
library, music room, auditorium,

tion; public relations; intercul-

sociation retreat on Sunday, Mon-
day and Tuesday, September 14,
15 and 16, at the Judson Collins

purpose: to provide an oppor-
tunity for the cabinet members
of each religious group to meet
and plan their coming year's
program; and to bring student

organizations together for train-
ing in leadership techniques.
According to SRA, the guest

Student Job
Opportunities'
Personnel Office
Helps Workers
Job opportunities for students
paying part or all of their expenses.
are available through the Univer-
sity's Personnel Office in the Ad-
ministration Bldg.
By keeping in contact with lo-
cal business establishments, indi-
vidual householders and various
departments in the University. the
office is able to advise students of
recently opened positions.

THE PERSONNEL Office in
the Administration Building aids
students in need of work through
contact with local business es-
tablishments, individual house-
holders, and various departments
in the University.
A variety of jobs from soda
fountain work to animal care
will be open, and students may
begin to apply at the office as
soon as they have registered.
When their class schedule is
known, working hours can be fit-
ted into the students' programs
in the most convenient way possi-
ble.
STUDENTS DESIRING work in
dormitories, the libraries, League.
Union and various departmental
offices, must apply directly, as the
Personnel Officekdoes not handle
this type of work.
About 75 per cent of the calls
are non-University, from local
businesses and householders.
This work includes gardening,
painting, sales work, gas-sta-
tion attendant and restaurant
work.
Non-academic unskilled Univer-
sity jobs handlpd by the Office
include picture-hanging and
grounds labor.
Students are advised to budget
their time carefully so that work-
ing will not interfere with thbi'
academic studies.Dormitory em-
ployment is recommended for
freshmen, since it fits in with
their schedule, and makes use of
time which otherwise might be
wasted.
Headquarters f o r University
students is the Office of Student
Affairs, on the ground floor of the
Administration Building.
Presided over b Dean of Stu-
dents Erich A. Walter, it is the
central office of many student ac-
tivities as well as the source of
various directives regulating stu-
dent conduct.
THE OFFICE IS CROWDED
throughout the day with students
who are requesting eligibility
cards for extra-curricular activi-
ties, getting automobile permits,
checking the social calendar, look-
ing for vacancies in rooming
houses, or maybe reviewing the
account of one of the many stu-
dent organizations.
The Office files a personal

Dean's Office Handles Activities
record card for each student on
which is kept a record of his tx-
tra-curricular activity, discip-
linary penalties and other data.
'the post of Dean of Students
was formed by the Board of Re-
gents in 1921. This was the first
job of this kind in the country.
THE DUTY OF THE Dean of
Students is to be "friend, counse-
lor and guide to the student body
with general oversight of its wel-
fare and its activities."
As a result, the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs has become catch-
all for the entire Uniersity.
Even mail clerks who find them-
selves with letters they don't know
what to do with drop them off
at the office.
As the office gathered more and
more jobs, it began nibbling rooms
away from the Registrar's Office
until it moved into its own office
in the new Administration jBuild-
ing two years ago.
IN ITS YEARS of existence the
post of Dean of Students has ac-
cumulated the jobs of ex-officio
membership in the University Sen-
ate, Board in Control of Student
Publications, Board of Directors of
the Union, Board of Governors of
Residence Halls, and many more.
Before becoming Dean of Stu-
dents in 1947, Dean Walter had
served as faculty member in
the English department, assistant
dean, and later associate dean of
the College of Literature, Science
and the Arts.
