As Vice-president of student affairs, Dr. Iim Scott maintains influence over a broad spectrum of university activities. The office of student affairs is comprised of many student-based organizations including commuter student pro- gramming, the counsel- ing center, the multi- cultural center, the band, and the athletic depart- ment. A necessary part of Scott's job is to get as much input from as many varied sources as pos- sible. Scott said that stu- dents play a major part in several facets of student affairs and mentioned the student participation on the newly-formed com- mittee for the Helfaer recreation center. The goals of the office of student affairs demands that as many different ideas as possible be incor- porated into decision- making, said Scott. According to Scott, the basic purpose of the office is to assist the stu- dents to integrate ideas and ideals With practice and to be catalytic agents in the educational pro- cess. CIR.

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

24 As dean of Resi- dence Life, George Shof- trier is a busy man with a big job to do. tiThe trend around the country is a return to resi- dence hall living, said Shottner. Shoftner foresees no plans for increased cam- pus housing, but said such plans hinge partly on enrollment figures. To keep informed of what's going on in resi- dence halls, Shottner relies on hall directors, staff and students. He cited programming as Hwhere we earn our money. If we aren't res- ponsive regarding pro- gramming we're not read- ing what students need. shoffNER ANd SACl-IS: key is CON TACT Smoke from his pipe curls up through his mus- tache and wire-rimmed glasses before dissipating into the air of his office. He looks almost too young to be smoking a pipe with its air of distinc- tion, which also means he looks almost too young to be the director of student activities and the union. But he does and he is and his name is Chris Sachs. Under Sachs' direc- tion the union has under- gone major changes in appearance. Sachs said, I like to think I have a lot of con- tact with students. Work- ing with over 90 student organizations, it would be difficult not to.
