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.
The growing population of single
girls on campus and the existence

Digging tears up campus lawns
By LEE DUNKELBERG
Battalion Staff Writer
The current digging on the
Memorial Student Center (MSC)
lawn and drill field are due to
repairs made necessary by the
installation of the new campus
iewer system, according to Rob
ert H. 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.”

A suitable candidate must have
at least a master’s degree, Han
nigan said, preferably in student
personality, education or psychol
ogy.
“She must be a mature adult,
but not so elderly as to create a
generation gap; she must have a
good record of working with stu
dents; she must have demonstrat
ed initiative in helping student
programs; and she must have
good judgment and be capable of
handling disciplinary problems,”
he said.
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

Fish Drill Team designates
Houston cadets as officers
“It’s a ‘CharUe Brown’ type thing,” he chuckled. “Hero or goat.
There is a slim chance that the system will accelerate and push on
through before Saturday afternoon, but it’s improbable.”
Lightfoot said that under the circumstances the Saturday outlook
in Columbus is for cloudy skies, southeast winds eight to 10 mph, rain
starting at midafternoon or about halftime and 71 degrees at the 1:30
p.m. kickoff with about 80 percent humidity.
Drivers will encounter rain and thundershower activity through
Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, on the nonstop 21-hour trip, added
Lightfoot.

should it prevail — I believe a
fourth consecutive national title
is possible,” he added.
