Vice-president of business and finance hmm sounds terribly stuffy, don't you think? In an office in O'Hara Hall, one of those cub- icles that make up the administrative beehive, charts and graphs can be found in each corner, on the walls and spread across the conference table. Emerging from this fountain of figures is Roy Kallenberger, vice- president of business and finance. A well-spoken man, he has a boyish smile that seems to remove him from the pressures of manag- ing a $35 million budget. Where do Marquette students fit into the busi- ness and finance pic- ture? uWe really need stu- dent input, said Kallen- berger with a smile. They know more in certain areas than an old fuddy- duddy like myself. Although few stu- dents venture to O'Hara Hall, Kallenberger knows they are out there and that his decisions affect them. So, out of that stutfy office of charts Kallenber- ger bounds as often as he can to attend leadership conferences, coffee hours and student committee meetings to absorb even more student ideas. kAuENbERCIER: iN A fOUNtAiN of fiQURES 21

CIR. siMMONs: STRESSES STRENQTI-l iN ARQUMENTS One would think it would be difficult to see the vice-president of aca- demic affairs. At Mar- quette that isn't the case. Dr. Ed Simmons, who holds that office, said his door is always open. But Simmons does set guide- lines and the meetings are always on his terms. It I can give a stu- dent time, I will. But one thing I must judge is it the student is taking my time seriously, Simmons said. The administrator said, We're in business to help students get into the action. We are required to listen to students, but they must have good reasons for wanting changes. HArgument is an important part of this office and it finds its strength in the premises not in the person Who pre- sents it, said Simmons. Simmons said that students can participate in formation of university policy and play a role in already constructed chan- nels such as ASMU. Personally, Simmons felt that a student can have the greatest impact by participating at the ground level of policy ini- tiation.

SANkoviTz: pAckAqiNq Tl-IE UNiVERsiTy Jim Sankovitz is the President's man for uni- versity relations. And While his contact with stu- dents is limited, there is no one with more direct bear- ing on them. uSometimes I think we might as well be located in Topeka, Kan- sas, said Sankovitz, refer- ing to the location in the Greater Marquette Center. uBecause of this, traffic of both student and faculty is precious little. University relations is an umbrella branch covering Alumni, Public and Government Rela- tions. Sankovitz smiles whenever he thinks of the new Heltaer Recreation Center and Tennis Sta- dium. I think we hit a home run with that thing. uAs an independent school, we rely largely on gifts. They're not loop- holes, they're tax free. It's my job to convince Con- gress, said Sankovitz. In short, what Sanko- vitz does is package the university, lifting the roofs off the buildings and say- ing ilook, this is what we're all about' I enjoy my job, it's an important one, Sankovitz said, uand I reallylove it. It may be this love that is the key to his success. u ...-u.h.l- : amiii'mtmi 15333 33 ii.- .34 v 22
