In September, 1943, the Dean of Men's office became part of the Office of the Dean of Students.4 Housing, financial aid, fraternities and sororities and campus regulations were the primary concerns of the staff.5 With reorganization of the Dean of Students in 1967, a new title and added duties were given to the Dean of Men. The Dean of Student Programs and Services was responsible for programs and policies dealing with student organizations and activities, residence halls, the Housing Division, the Union and the Security Office.6
