TMepbone 845-2226 1st women’s dean sought PAM TROBOY Battalion Staff Writer The first Dean of Women in AStM history will be appointed as soon as a qualified candidate is found, James P. Hannigan, dean if students, told the Battalion Tuesday. “We are working slowly and tautiously, but directly, toward the goal of a dean for our female students,” he said. “President (A.R.) Luedecke told me at the end of the summer that the board of directors has authorized the employment of a dean at any time, if we find an outstanding candidate. We will not do a rush job, however.” Hannigan said that a suite of offices in the Academic Building is already being remodeled for oc cupancy when the new dean ar rives. He said the offices are lo cated adjacent to the counseling and testing department. “Mrs. Patricia Self, counselor for women students, will remain in her present position,” he said. “She has said she is not inter ested in the position.” Hannigan said he has already received a “fairly long series” of applicants and has notified places with suitable candidates that he is looking. Hannigan said he has spoken to a few of the applicants and has scheduled interviews in the near future with those who have “a fairly good chance.” Don Stafford,: associate dean of students, Howard Perry, civil ian student counselor, Mrs. Self and Hannigan will screen the ap plicants and then Luedecke will join the final selection process. “The female population has grown to a size which merits con siderable special attention,” Han nigan said. “We do plan to have girls' dorms and a dorm is prac tically a certainty for next fall.

Rucker, university land scape architect. Rucker said work in the MSC area cannot be completed until a lamaged underground irrigation lystem has been replaced. “We have 20 (underground ir rigation) systems, and only six are working now,” Rucker said. “The construction company is re placing a two-inch feeder line for all the drill field outlets and an entire underground copper system in front of the Memorial Student Center.” Another reason for the digging was the installation of a 16-inch water supply line for the campus. The new line runs from the West Gate along the drill field to the Academic Building. According to Rucker, this will double the water supply for the campus, bringing it from two million to four million gallons storage capacity. Rucker said due to current con struction and the construction of the new MSC complex the area will be “pretty torn up.” “We will be gardening between ditches all over the campus,” Rucker quipped. “But this is all part of growing pains we are ex periencing,” he added. “When the facilities expand, the utilities must expand too.” “The basic function of grounds maintenance,” Rucker explained, “is to maintain the most favor able academic environment pos sible for the students.” Grounds maintenance is a di vision of the Physical Plant De partment and is responsible for all landscaping and total site de velopment of the campus. ] Rain may fall on Ohio weekenders Slippery travel and a possibility of getting wet by halftime are Recast for the A&M football engagement Saturday with No. 1-ranked fiio State in Columbus. A series of fast-moving weather systems going through the 'lidwest holds the key to the weekend weather, noted Meteorology Apartment official Jim Lightfoot. “It looks like the front to the west will go through our area Wednesday and through Columbus Thursday night,” the weather station meteorologist said. “Another system will be developing in the Rocky Mountains and moving slowly into Columbus Saturday.” wmmmmm % m % mm> « SATUDAV CLOSED SUNDAY 11.06AM 10 r.15 PM WHEN IS IT closed?

Hannigan said that no decisions on other changes have been made, but that he “presumes” his title will remain dean of students rath er than be changed to dean of men. He said that Col. Jim H. McCoy will continue to handle corps affairs and Mr. Perry, ci vilian affairs, under his direct su pervision.
