dean at the university was effective
_ 1. She will work with Pat Self, wom-
i's counselor at Texas AAM since January
Irre.
Mrs. Schreiber will be working with the
student body of the university, one
ikh will comprise more then 10 per cent
this fell’s estimated 16,000 enrollment.
Mrs. Schreiber formerly was dean of
at Southwest Missouri SUte Co
llege 9,000 enrollment in Springfield, Mo. At
I the time of her July appointment, she was
| Mrs. Toby Rives. She has since remarried.
The new dean, originally from East
I Texas, looked at her job carefully.
"i guess the biggest thing is that I feel
tike sort of a showpiece, because people
haven’t really got used to the idee of e
women’s dean, yet,’* she said.
M l’m pleased with things that are al-
underway and the organisations that

Women sad Omega Phi Alpha (National
Service Sorority),” Mrs. Schreiber said.
“These things art things that I think are
important to girls.

T find myself excited by my oppor
tunities and the challenge in front of me
here; I'm thinking of ell the things I can
find to do," she said.
’Thaw isn’t a written job description
for my position,’’ “she said of her job, "but
I visualise it will call for a lot of working
toward the overall picture of women here.
I hope to lend woman’s view to the total
aspect of Texas AAM University."
The new dean expressed several general
opinions concerning her policies for the
girls on campus next year. She said she
foresees a semi-open house policy on cam
pus, one with set visiting hours. T don’t
favor complete open house, at least now.
A partial open-house policy, like on Sunday
afternoons from 2 until 6 or something
would be quite all right. I think it should
really be left up to the residents of the
halls," she said.
Mrs. Schreiber said she sees no parti
cular need for a dress code of any kind if
the women dress like women.
"Things like that I think should be de
cided by each individual professor," she
explained, “because he is really the only one
that knows what you need to wear in his
class. .
Tt is a fantastic time to be on campus
and to experience all the changes taking
place around us,” she added.
“I haven’t accepted the term ’Maggie’
£ et,”. she emphasized.’’ I think we should
• called Aggies, too."
