Top Brass at Work OXTRARY to a persistent myth, the leisurely life of the college administrator, sheltered in the the clois- tered walls and obscured from the outside view, is no more — or at least not at Kansas State College. A college does not just run itself, what with an ever increasing en- rollment, a potential future enrollment that threatens to swamp the present institution and more and more re- search along with the present crushing load. Charged with these broad administrative responsibil- ities is President James A. McCain. Through the day he is paced with a steady stream of callers including stu- dents, visitors on official and unofficial business, and all this interspersed with a continuous string of tele- phone calls. In his sixth year at the helm of the College, President McCain has added more buildings to the campus than any other president. To cope with the ever expanding job of running the College, he has delegated authority and increased the administrative staff, but not in propor- tion to the growth of the job. Directly responsible to the Board of Regents, Presi- dent McCain makes recommendations through them for Top administrator of the Sunflower State is Gov. Fred Hall, who takes an active interest in K-State affairs. BOARD OF REGENTS — SEATED: President James A. McCain, Mrs. Elizabeth Haughey, Oscar Stauffer, Ray Evans, Walter Fees, McDill Boyd, Lawrence Morgan, Willis Kelly, Arthur Hershberger. STANDING: President John King of Emporia State Teachers College, Hubert Brighton. 21
