Preparations for Fall Press Dean in Summer
By Linda Machin
By Linda Macmillan
Summer school classes have begun in a more informal, relaxed atmosphere than in the fall and spring semesters, we are told.
By contrast, in the Dean of Women's office—though the atmosphere may be informal and relaxing—the pace of the work schedule has not slackened.
Dean Emily Taylor, a tall woman with grey brown hair, explained in a telephone conversation the seasonal differences in her job of "coordinator of women's affairs" at KU.
"One of the biggest differences," she said, "is the tremendous volume of office work we have in the summer." The office work includes processing of housing contracts, placing roommates together for the summer as well as the fall sessions, selecting and training counselors for the summer school students and KU previews.
However, Dean Taylor pointed out that there is much less group work—fewer meetings, since student organizations function primarily in the regular school months.
Also, the women's residence halls programs, of which Dean Taylor is in charge, is reduced since all undergraduate women are housed in Corbin Hall. During the fall and spring semesters, she is in charge of six women's residence halls, four women's scholarship halls, 13 sorority houses and University approved private housing.
Another big summer project handled partially by the Dean of Women's office are the KU previews. Approximately 100 women students who will be freshmen or transfers to KU this fall will attend each of eleven preview sessions as will new male students. They will take placement examinations and to become acquainted with the University.
The Dean of Women's office during previews will be responsible for housing the women students, a dinner, and one meeting with each session.
"The previews, which begin the 17th of June, will cover the majority of the summer and keep us busy on every day but Saturday," she said.
Dean Taylor, who has been at KU for seven years, took over the dean's post after leaving the same position

at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. Speaking for her assistants as well as herself, she said, "We do not try to maintain authority, but we do like to have our ideas respected."
She explained that in addition to group work with student organizations and residence halls, she tries to remain available for personal and individual consultations with women students.
Dean Taylor's summers have not always been occupied solely with

previews and women students' housing problems. Last summer she, together with six KU women students and her nephew.
"Eight passengers in a Volkswagon bus," commented Dean Taylor as she told about visiting Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam, Vienna, Rome, Paris, London, the Italian Riviera and the Costa Brava.
That 60 day tour was the second European trip taken by Dean Taylor. In 1961, she and a staff assistant, her niece and the daughter of George R. Waggoner, Dean of the College, spent Christmas in Madrid and New Years in Paris.
"Dean Waggoner's daughter and my niece were eighth graders. They were more interested in the bellboys than anything else," laughed Dean Taylor.
Dean Taylor earned her B.S. and Masters degrees at Ohio State University and her Ph.D. at the Indiana University.

These are only a few of her responsibilities as Dean of Women.
"I don't want to give the wrong impression," she said. "I don't do all this alone. My job is more of a coordinating action." She has five full-time staff assistants, 16 graduate assistants, and 42 undergraduate assistants, including dormitory counselors, during the school year.
