Student Program
Under New Post
The student life program at
A&M has been reorganized, with
all phases of student life under
the newly-created post of Dean of
Student Personnel Services.
Four major departments are un
der the new post—student affairs,
military students, student activi
ties, and the Basic Division.
The change is designed to “bal
ance student life programs for
military and civilian students and
to expand the work of the Basic
Division to include all classes,”
according to President David H.
Morgan.
A faculty committee is now look
ing for a man to fill the position
of Dean of Student Personnel Serv
ices. Until they find one, the
president will serve in the posi-
!ion, with the departments report-
ng to him.
Qualifications for the job say he
fust be “a man with special train
ing and experience in student per-
snnel work, guidance, counselling
ad psychology.”
The new organization was effec-
tii Sept. 1, but the new dean will
prbably not be picked before Feb-
ruW, and possibly not until later,
sai\ Henderson Shuffler, system
intonation director.
HVe are the four departments
in th new plan:

dean of men for civilian students,
this department will include the
civilian counsellors, veterans’ ad
visor, civilian dormitory opera
tions, campus security, and hous
ing.
• Student Activities—Headed by
W. L. Penberthy, former dean of
men, this department will contain
intramural athletics, clubs and or
ganizations, Town Hall and other
music activities, student conces
sions, and other organized student
activities, such as dances.
• Commandant of Cadets—This
remains essentially the same, with
Col. Joe E. Davis, commandant,
supervising the tactical officers
and the students who are in the
corps of cadets.
• Basic Division — The counsel
ing and guidance facilities of the
Basic Division have been expanded
to all classes, instead of just fresh
men. For this part of its work,
the Basic Division will report
through the Dean of Student Per
sonnel Services. For its pegular
academic work, it will report
through the dean of the college.
Also under the supervision of
the Dean of Student Personnel Af
fairs, but not in departments, will
be the college YMCA, student pub
lications, placement and student
labor, and the college hospital and
health program.
Included in this new organization
are the consolidation of the place
ment office and the student labor
office into one office, and the ex
pansion of the college hospital to
provide a complete health program.
The Memorial Student Center
will remain as it is in the present
organizational set-up, under its
own board, reporting directly to
the president.
Minor details of the new organi
zation have not yet been worked
out, Shuffler said. “This is just
the overall plan,” he said.
