Presidenfapromises rise of the legendary phoenix DYNAMIC is the word to describe Washburn's president after his second year in command. Turn- ing even thejune disaster into a step toward the new promise of the 102-year-old university, john W. Henderson said, 4'Washburn is like the phoe- nix, a bird in ancient mythology, which rose trium- phant out of its own ashes. Indicative of this re- birth, Washburn is now beginning an expansive building program which includes immediately a new Fine Arts Center, Education building, and Law School. All will be fully-equipped with the lat- est teaching supplements such as rear and over-head projection, educational television circuits, and ac- cess to the computer center in the basement of the new addition to Morgan Hall. The Hrelocatablesfi the center of a beautification program which Dr. Henderson is initiating, were a great assistance to Washburn during her massive spurt of growth. Forty-one trailer classrooms, locat- ed in villages named for previously existing build- ings,provided needed facilities in areas separated from future construction sites. With brightly- colored doors, shrubbery and landscaping, and ar- tistic signs scattered between the units, President Henderson hopes to 'cadd life to the sterile exterior ofthese buildings which will be here for quite a while nowf, Making contacts in France, Germany, Britain, and Yugoslavia for possible student programs in these countries, Dr. Henderson plans for a greatly expanded international program for Washburn. Within four years he wants every student to have the opportunity to study outside the United States. The best way to teach Americanism is to see and study the United States from other countries. Only then can a student comprehend the full implications of the operations of his own nation. Furthermore, America is deeply involved in international affairs. Students in any Held need to understand the work- ings of other countries, the thinking of other peo- ples, and the operations of other governments and economies. But Dr. Henderson's favorite project is a pro- gram of Hcomputer-assisted instructionw in which students would not only be taught through TV lec- tures and demonstrations on computer file, but also have access to a ulearning-resources library. The student would be able to dial for audio-visual subject information in addition to book research. Washburn must not be left behind in this impor- tant march toward progress. John W. Henderson

l Richard Vogel Man with numerous duties stresses priceless image RESPONSIBLE for helping the President carry out the programs and policies of the school, Gerald Barker, assistant to the President, felt his main area of concern was public relations. 'iThe best way to promote the school image is through the students themselves, he said. Thus, his duties included dis- patching information to the news media, working as administrative adviser for student publications, supervising the Washburn Belles, and heading alumni activities for the Homecoming and com- mencement exercises. As a member of the University Goals Committee he felt it was very important that students be aware of the present construction situation on campus. 'lStudents should know the future plans of the school and have a voice in forming the kind of uni- versity they wantf' Mr. Barker pointed out that a student will be connected with his university for a lifetime. HThe University depends heavily upon the support it receives from its alumni and friends. Gerald K. Barker 22 Careful planning keys use of all available resources GREATLY involved with the construction boom on Washburn's campus, was Richard Vogel, Vice President in charge of financial affairs. Last year 34.7 million passed through his office to cover the total operational costs of the school. HThe spirit of Washburn is stronger than ever, he said. Her constant goal is to maintain high quality under- graduate education and a nationally recognized School of Law, as well as to offer community service programs especially tailored to the Topeka needs. But in order to have and continue this education, Washburn must have adequate financial resources to provide for increased operational expenses. The school must retain and obtain dedicated faculty, and provide them with well-equipped and up-to-date facilities. Thus, Washburn's increase in financial resources for these plans will come primarily from increased state aid and student fees.
