state with extensive academic background in related art. Her qualifications steered her into a key planning position
at the university. For several years she was a decorating consultant for WSU and last fall she was given the title
of part time assistant to Campus Planner Ray Specht. Designing rooms as well as determining the decoration schemes
were her assignments. She recently completed writing a program statement for the next residence hall complex to be

a year. While on her leave at the UW, she served as a consultant on a housing project for low income families in the

Iowa State College, her M.A. in home economics in 1961 from the University of Minnesota, and her M.S. in environmental
design in 1967 from the University of Wisconsin. She was a member fraternities in music, art, home economics and
education. She currently was national secretary of Delta Phi Delta honorary art fraternity. At the campus she
served Delta Zeta social sorority as faculty adviser, and in the community, most of her activity was centered around
the Frame Memorial Presbyterian Church where she sang in the choir and had been a Sunday School teacher. Her entire
teaching career was here where "many of her students depended upon her as a counselor on personal matters," said Dr.
Agnes Jones, chairman of the home economics department. "We will miss the excellent assistance she would have given
us in planning the new building to house home economics programs. (That facility is scheduled for construction
within a year between the present Classroom Center and Science Hall on Fourth Avenue.) Survivors are her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Ted Sands of 604 Agg St., Ames, Iowa; twin sisters, Barbara and Elizabeth and a brother, Norman.
