% ♦ No stuffy clergyman have we here! Always ready to help Bucknell ' s students in every way imaginable is DR. MARK C. EBERSOLE. Chaplain of the University and head of the Department of Religion. Dr. Ebersole ' s present duties range from assisting in the Chapel service every Wednesday to serving as co-chairman of the faculty-administration sec- tion of the Dual Development Drive. Dr. Ebersole came to Bucknell in 1953. Since that time his enthusiasm for both his subject matter and the students whom he teaches and his participation in all phases of campus life have made him one of Bucknell ' s most popular professors. ♦ PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY AND HIS STAFF . . . A friendly smile and a willingness to help are qualities beneficial to any administrator. Perhaps that is why MR. JOHN ZELLER, Vice President of the University, handles his important position so well. As chief business officer at Bucknell, Mr. Zeller oversees the administration of the University budget; he also maintains an interest in the legal profession as he helps many an organization keep in line with advice such as This is quite according to pro- cedure but for this you will have a law suit on your hands!

HARTZELL enjoys entertaining students in his new home in College Park, but he is usually busy supervising Bucknell ' s educational program, faculty personnel, degree and course offerings, and the quality of instruction. Although new to Bucknell last year. DR. FRANK C. ABBOTT has already become an integral part of the uni- versity administration. Among his many duties, he helps in the work of the Dean ' s office by fostering closer contacts between the administration and the students, and teaches political science as well. REGISTRAR GEORGE R. FAINT and his assistants in charge of registration and records play vital parts in each Bucknellian ' s college experience, from enrollment at the start of the freshman year to that long-awaited commencement ceremony. Each semester, Mr. Faint tackles the huge job of registering and scheduling all students. 24
