R. QUAdE: NUMbER TWO MAN I wouldn't say my attitude toward students has changed, but my re- sponsibilities have, said Quentin Quade about his rise from teacher to administrator. As the first person to hold the newly-created office of executive vice- president, Quade is the Number Two man around Marquette. His job is to know everything that's going on, from daily oper- ations to tine points of MU policy. A large, rotund man whose eyes disappear when he laughs, Quade becomes sharply analyt- ical when discussing his job and Marquette. Looking back, Quade said he wasn't really inter- ested in becoming an administrator.

Building up and reno- vating about 75 acres of urban campus, securing top-level North Central Association accreditation, increasing the number of trustees from three Jesuits to 29 Jesuits and laymen and involving community leaders in Marquette are major accomplishments of the past ten years that Raynor mentions. Balanc- ing the budget and in- creasing alumni interest in Marquette are other major achievements. But, of all these accomplishments, for Ray- nor, the most pleasing is Marquette's place in the community. I get my greatest pleasure in seeing people freely associate them- selves with educating our students, Raynor says. 17

labor. According to Quade, The faculty provide one context. Father Raynor and I have general re- sponsibilities; we synthe- size, we give direction. Conceding that as an administrator he's not as close to students, Quade said, I have some Win- dows to what's going on, but there is a remoteness to it all. Student safety was among the issues Quade considered especially important to students. He said, campus and student safety is a tough, tough nut. How do we provide safety without turning Marquette into an armed camp? He threw up his hands. Another problem, as yet unsolved . . . 19
