New Dean of Women Is Tall, Young, Good-Natured And Loves Her Work
MISS MARGARET HABEIN
Being a dean of women was the last thing that Miss Margaret Habein, K.U.'s new women's dean, ever dreamed of when she was younger. But somehow it just happened.
She considered being everything but a women's dean, and eventually drifted into the teaching profession. Then at Christian college in Columbia, Mo., she took a position as dean of women and remained there seven years.
Miss Habein, brown-eyed, youthful and unobtrusively brilliant, is a career woman and says she loves it.
While talking about the record enrollment here, Miss Habein remarked, "Oh, it's quite exciting. It may create a lot of disorganization at first, but there isn't anything
Americans can't manage if they're educated."
Evidently good natured, Miss Habein has a book collecting hobby, enjoys swimming, tennis and horseback riding, but on the whole, declines to speak much of herself.
Most of her life has been spent in Waseca, Minn., but K.U.'s not foreign to her. She has done graduate work here every summer since 1936, eventually pulled down a master's degree in English and is now completing work for a doctor of philosophy degree.
She'll also teach in the English department, where her sister, Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, now teaches. But she maintains, "Most of my time will be given to the office here, ready to help any individual or group."
Working along with her will be Miss Martha Peterson, Pan-Hellenic council secretary, and Miss Marie Miller, long-time assistant women's dean at the University.
As she puts it, "I'm a little dull on myself, probably because it's my job to be worrying about everybody else."
Business Graduate Is New Assistant Dean Of Men
Willis L. Tompkins, a member of the class of 1943, has been appointed assistant dean of men at the University.
Mr. Tompkins received a bachelor of science degree from the School of Business and was student president of it during his senior year. He was also a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary scholastic fraternity.

Faculty, Employees Must Have Chests X-Rayed At Watkins
All faculty members and staff employees who have come to K.U. since September, 1945, are requested to have a chest X-ray examination before Wednesday at Watkins hospital, Dr.R.I.Canuteson said today.
The examinations are required by the board of regents and only those persons who can produce a report of an X-ray taken within the past six months will be excused.
A portable unit from the state board of health is set up in the hospital basement for the X-rays.
Examination hours are 8 to 12 and 1 to 5.
No state in the Union is entirely without some big game, although the number of white-tail deer in Kansas is 15 and Delaware has only 19. The white-tail population of Pennsylvania is estimated at 750,000.
