By Jolayne Houtz
Of the Emerald
Shirley Wilson was named
the University dean of students,
says Richard Hill, vice presi
dent for academic affairs and
provost.
Wilson, 55, immediately
assumes the post, which she has
held in an acting capacity since
January 1983 when former-Dean
of Students Robert Bowlin took
a leave of absence to serve as
associate director of the Com
mission on Colleges of the Nor
thwest Association of Schools
and Colleges.
Bowlin resigned in August to
Shirley Wilson
continue with the Seattle-based
accrediting organization.
Wilson will also serve as ac
ting associate provost for stu
dent affairs for Gerry Moseley,
associate provost for student af
fairs, who went on sabbatical
leave in Texas, California and
Virginia, fames Buch, director
of the Office of Admissions and
Records, will assist her.
Joseph Wade will be acting
director of the Office of
Academic Advising and Stu
dent Services, which Wilson
had continued to direct while
acting as dean. An internal
search is planned to fill the
academic advising post
permanently.
Comedienne
to make light of
nuclear issues
Barbara George, a New York
City comic and actress, will
confront the problems of
nuclear weapons, power and
waste in a one woman show
Tuesday night in Eugene.
The performance, entitled
“Everything I Ever Wanted to
Ask About Nukes and Was
Afraid to Ask,” will begin at
7:30 at 631 E. 19th Ave. The
event is sponsored by the
Citizen Action for Lasting
Security.
George, who is on a nation
wide tour, presents her anti
nuclear message through
characters such as the “Radia
tion Wizard” and a woman
from the Bikini Islands.
The program also includes
"The Time has Come,” a short
film on international resistance

“We are fortunate to have a
person with Shirley Wilson’s
talent and ingenuity accept this
important position,” Hill says.
“As a result of her 15 years of
service, Dr. Wilson has
developed an unusual
understanding of our university
in all its complexity, and her
work with us has been
characterized by creativeness
and dedication.”
Wilson will oversee a staff of
about 75 and an annual budget
of $1.4 million. She is responsi
ble for a variety of programs
relating to the health, conduct
and retention of students, in
cluding assistance during
emergencies and liaison with
parents and with social, off
campus living and religious
organizations.
She is also responsible for
coordinating activities in
academic advising and student
services, career planning and
placement, counseling, interna
tional services, student
development and student
conduct.
“I look at this job as one in
which I can function as an ad
vocate for students,” she says.
“It’s one that enables me to
build bridges between the stu
dent affairs staff and the
students.”
“I’m eager to keep the
freshmen seminars going,” she
says. She hopes to convince
more senior faculty members to
volunteer to teach these small
group classes, which were of
fered for the first time this fall.
Wilson joined the student af
fairs staff in 1969 as associate
dean of students and dean of
women. She held that position
until 1978 when the student af
fairs office reorganized, and she
became director of academic ad
vising and students services.
She was acting dean of students
during 1977-78.
She has a joint appointment
in the College of Education’s
Division of Educational Policy
and Management where she
teaches and advises graduate
students in higher education
administration.
Wilson has been a member
and secretary of the University
Senate. She also has served
three two-year terms on the
Faculty Advisory Council,
which she chaired during the
1983-84 school year.
A graduate of Whitman Col
lege in Walla Walla, Wash.,
Wilson has a master’s degree
from Stanford University and a
doctoral degree from
Washington State University.
