Dean Lloyd To Begin 19th Year
Of Friendship,
Service for 'U'
Coed Leader
Quides, 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
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 wear, 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 organizations and ac-
tivities and will be 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. Wallace and Elmira
Koehler.
Others, serving in Stockwell,
will be Dorothy E. Inglis, Norma
Davis, Betty M. McGolrick, Doris
A. Sirabian, Louise Salley, Sophia
L. Holley, Mary L. McDonald,
Mary L. Gabel and Ruth E. Spore.

new large-scale project to its
already long list. For the first
time a Big Sister Committee has

Among the myriad of questions
freshman women usually ask are
a large number about sororities.
Some of the most common quer-
ies range from "What do sorori-
ties do?" to "How do I go about
joining one?"
Approximately 1,000 women are
affiliated with the twenty-one so-'
rorities on the Michigan campus.
Each sorority is restricted to a
membership of not more than 60
and each spring about 340 women
are pledged.
SORORITY WOMEN continue
living in their dormitories or other
residences while they are pledges.
The following semester they move
into their respective houses located
in various sections of Ann Arbor.

officers are the Judiciary chair-
man and the Judiciary secretary.
This year's Judiciary chairman,
Mary Riggs, has the job of direct-
ing and coordinating the work of
the Judiciary Committee. She will
divide the women's residences into
five districts and appoint as chair-

house rules as given in the
pamphlet, "C a m p u s Regula

and observing these rules.

women's activities and scene of

well as for visiting artists in the
concert and lecture series.

THE BUILDING was erected in
1929, following an extensive fund
raising campaign conducted by
University women and alumnae
and student, organizations. The
campaign began early in 1921
when undergraduates and the
Alumnae Council decided to un-
dertake the responsibility for
sponsoring a building.
The Board of Regents voted
to grant the land later that year,
and the sum of one million doll-
ars was set as the goal of the
campaign.
Every University coed is auto-
matically a member of the League
and is urged to use its facilities.

THE BUILDING also serves as
a center of campus entertainment
with weekly Friday and Saturday
night dances held in the ballroom
and films and plays regularly pre-
sented in the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
Three times a year the League
is taken over by the traditional
class projects when the freshman
Frosh Weekend, Sophomore Cab-
aret and the Junior Girls' Play are
held. All preparations for these
events are likewise held in the

social director, Ethel A. McCor-
