Relations Public Relations Department The Public Relations Office serves as a link between Creighton University and the general public. With the exception of sports items, all Creighton publicity that is sent to local and national news media is channeled through this office. Only recently the Public Relations Department sponsored a brief weekly radio program featuring interviews with various Creighton professors. In addition, the majority of University publications, including the Alumnus magazine and the monthly faculty news- letter, are under the supervision of this department. Another important facet of the Public Relations Office is its speakers bureau, which provides speakers from the University for commencements and other events. The department also coordi- nates and organizes all Creighton-sponsored dinners, including the annual Convocation Dinner. In conjunction with the Alumnus Office, the Public Relations Department maintains a file on all alvmini and a historical scrapbook containing clippings of all news items concerning Creighton. Harry A. Dolphin, Public Relations Director, with the aid of his secretary, Mrs. Delores Kirchofer, sees that the Public Relations Department functions smoothly. Larry Parrott is News Bureau Director, and LeAnne Iwan is Creighton Alumnus Editor. Lawrence I. Parrott Harry A. Dolphin Daniel F. McHugh IS

College of Arts and S Nowhere is the fine impatience with mediocrity, so increasingly typical of the Creighton University, more evident than in the College of Arts and Sciences and the administration of Rev. Thomas K. McKenney, S.J., Dean, and Rev. John J. Halloran, S.J., Assistant Dean. For these men peace of mind comes only with the satis- faction of knowing that the 1600 students of the Arts school, plus hundreds more from other Creighton col- leges who attend Arts classes, are provided with the best instruction possible. This fall the Arts college witnessed what was per- haps the greatest influx of brain-power onto the Creigh- ton campus since the arrival of the Jesuits in 1878. Among the 24 new teachers assigned to the Arts col- lege were 1 1 teachers ; with Ph.D. degrees. The greater nvmiber of the teachers makes it possible for every student to be given more individual attention. Although from its position on the hill-top the aged Arts School overlooks several splendid new buildings more glamourous than itself, it is still the College of Arts and Sciences which occupies the crucial role in the formation of liberally-educated men and women for which Creighton University is noted.
