The men students on this campus owe much to Dean T. T. Jones,
who has been dean of men for the
past two years, having been appointed to the office upon the retirement, of Dean Melcher in 1933.
PVotimitv mpn InHprwnrlpnt men.
dormitory men, rich men, poor men,
all receive the same impartial
treatment from the office of the
Dean of Men.
Dean Jones has had two major
problems confronting him during
his short period of office the administration of the FERA work on
the campus as provided for under
the New Youth Administration, and
the financial problems of the eighteen fraternities on the campus.
When Dean Jones assumed his
duties, he made a survey of the
financial conditions of the fraternities and was alarmed to find that
the majority of these organizations
were in a pitiful state of affairs.
With the cooperation of the
Council and the Fraternity Presidents' Council, which was
formed, Dean Jones succeeded In
passing a rule whereby no man who
owed a fraternity could enter school,
be graduated, or have his credits
transferred to another school. This
enabled the fraternities to collect
all of their debts and subsequently
regain a firmer financial footing.
At the time Dean Melcher retired, the men's residence halls had
many vacant rooms, but this year
the dormitory was filled several
weeks before the first day of registration. This was due mainly to the
t that rule had been passed

This not only filled the dormitories,
but also enables the office of the
Dean of Men to keep a more accurate check on the new studnts.
The problem of supervising the
FERA work on the campus certainly required the ability of a diplomat, but Dean Jones handled the
job in a manner which was pleasing to all parties concerned. Many
students have been able to either
enter college or return for a continuance of their work, only with
the aid of the New Youth Administration and they should be happy
that this matter of vital concern
is In such capable hands.
Another innovation which has
been a boon to the campus is the
origin of the Wednesday night
dances, for which Dean
Jones is responsible. These dances
provide inexpensive entertainment
which the entire student body can
enjoy, since nobody is restricted because of lack of money, lack of evening clothes, or social standing.
In closing, may we add that we
hope the work of this genial administrator will be as successful
in the future as it has in the past.

complaint can be made on this

There Is no reason why campus custom should not demand the
wearing of coats and ties to social
functions of this sort. Informality
is to be desired but it can certainly
be carried too far. Such a situation does not exist even at public
dance halls of the city. Even there
the wearing of coats is a

poor that he cannot afford to wear
a coat and tie to these dances.
We hope that it will not be necessary tti pass regulations or take
measures to prevent such practices.
Rather, we believe that those who
have been prone to appear In such
attire will, in the name of a higher
standard of social life, voluntarily
alter this practice.
In conclusion, we again salute

betterment be taken in the spirit
that we have tried to present them

DANCES
"It's the tops!" Pardon the slang,
but that's the way we dub the Wednesday night dances. There are no
dances sc keenly collegiate, so delightfully humun and so cosmopolaffairs. We
itan as these
say hats off to Dean Jones and
those cooperating to make these
dunces a success. They are doing
more to bring about campus spirit
in the form of friendliness and co
operation than any other single
factor in the social life of the University.
These dances bring together the
students for a period of relaxation
and companionship. There is no
other single function during any
week at which one finds so many
students gathered in a spirit of cooperation and friendship. The students therefore need this
every week. It Is for that
reason that we would urge the adoption of a weekly schedule of these

the crowd would change slightly
from week to week but there certainly ure enounh students who
would "feel in tiie mood'' to warrant having them weekly. They are
needed to round out a more complete social program for the University.
