MARTIN L. HECHT Personnel Director LUVERNE F. LAUSCHE Chief Engineer A 1946 graduate of Ohio University, Martin L. Hecht is campus personnel director. His functions include the employment of all non-academic staff members, from secretaries to maintenance men, in addition to all part-time student help. Luverne F. Lousche is Ohio University ' s chief en- gineer. Answering the many complaints of no lights, and leaky faucets, he and his staff of policemen, janitors, steamfitters and painters keep the univer- sity facilities in constant repair. SERVICES ' PERSONNEL Few students engrossed in the busy, hectic life on Ohio University ' s campus realize the amount of work done by the number of unsung heroes in the various university services. These people work for the students, contributing to their comfort and well-being, by performing the hundred and one odd jobs which are necessary to a going concern such as Ohio University. Purchasing all of the supplies and equipment for Ohio University is W. A. Herbert. A varied service, Mr. Herbert ' s shopping list includes such unrelated items as a car-load of canned goods for the dormi- tories to a new order of preserved pigs for the zool- ogy department or a consignment of nuts and bolts to fix leaky campus faucets. Working hand in hand with Mr. Herbert is Lu- verne F. Lausche, the chief engineer. With his huge, well-trained staff, the engineer ' s office is continually busy keeping up with the many details of the current building program, and solving the maintenance problems which to the people in- volved seem a major catastrophe, but to Mr. Lausche ' s crew ore an everyday occurence. All of the dining halls, the dieticians, junior dieticians, and waiters come under the jurisdiction of the cheerful, efficient director of dining halls, Maggie Davis. Handling the mountains of requests for mimeo- graphed material, the paper forms necessary to keep the university functioning smoothly is the huge task of Mrs. M, C. McVey. How many of the students attending Ohio Uni- versity on scholarships, realize that what makes their education possible is the Ohio University FundP Protector and associate director of this fund is George Banks. Although women ' s housing on campus is handled through the Dean of Women ' s office, homes for the men and the ever-growing horde of aportment- hunting married vets are handled by Arthur Corn- well from his office in the basement of McGuffey. When a student working through college applies for a job or decides that he or she needs some extra spending money, the person to see is Martin Hecht. Young, handsome, recently graduated, Hecht is in charge of non-academic employment. 29
