Residence Director at KU Gets Post as Pittsburg Dean
"Dean Watson" will be a new title for Miss Mary Watson, assistant to the dean of women at KU, when she becomes the new dean of women for Kansas State College at Pittsburg in June.
The announcement of her position was officially made by the Pittsburg college paper last Friday.
Miss Watson said as dean of women, she will be working with "any phase of the university that affects the women students" such as the residence halls, AWS, or Panhellenic Association.
HER DUTIES AS assistant to the dean of women here, which she has held since 1963, have involved working with the upperclass women's residence halls.
"I'm very fond of KU and hate to leave but, at the same time, I can't help but feel enthusiastic to fill a position of this type," she added.
EMILY TAYLOR, dean of women, also commenced upon Miss Watson's new position with Kansas State College at Pittsburg.
"We regret losing her (Miss Watson) to our program very much but we are happy she's been offered such a fine promotion.
"We feel she is adequately prepared to assume the position of dean of women," she said.
MISS WATSON SAID she became interested in university work when she came to KU in 1961 to work on a doctorate degree in political science.
Besides attending classes, the new dean was an assistant resident director at Gertrude Sellards Pearson (GSP), freshman women's
residence hall, and also taught a Western Civilization class.
Miss Watson worked with GSP for three years before she transferred to her present position.
MISS WATSON is a graduate of Wichita East high school and Wichita State University, class of 61.
At WSU she earned a bachelor's and a master's degree in political science.
Although she is not taking any courses for her planned doctorate this semester, Miss Watson said she has about thirty hours toward the degree.
She hopes to eventually finish her doctoral work by attending summer school at KU.
KANSAS STATE COLLEGE has about 4800 students,1500 of whom are women.
Miss Watson has made two visits to the campus so far and has already met a number of the women students.
ALONG WITH A NEW women's residence hall which will be completed next fall, Miss Watson and her assistant dean of women will be in charge of the women in the three university-owned dormitories and those in two privately-owned halls.
Karlene Howell to Join CSU Staff
Karlene Howell, assistant to the Dean of Women, will leave KU in August to accept a position at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colo.
Miss Howell will join the Dean of Women's staff as program coordinator of residence halls at Colorado State. She will be working together with the Dean of Men's staff.
Miss Howell came to KU as a freshman and received her B.A. with a major in history in 1962. Since then she has been working full-time on the staff of the Dean of Women.
Before leaving, Miss Howell hopes to receive her master's degree in guidance and counseling.
MISS HOWELL'S DUTIES on the dean of women's staff here didn't involve working with the residence halls.
Miss Howell noted that the system at Colorado State is quite different from that at KU. The school this year has five coeducational residence halls, three women's halls, and two men's halls. The school's population this year was around 10,000.
