UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS With an increasing public relations problem as more students have been refused admission, the admissions office has redoubled its efforts to obtain students of good academic quality who will be happy and successful at DePauw. The past several years have seen larger and larger enrollments and an increasing need for selection rather than recruitment of new students. Along these lines of planning, the men in charge of admissions make many personal contacts with high school students, holding personal interviews and answer- ing questions about DePauw. In developing the interest of more students in DPU, Dr. John Wittich is aided by Mr. Wfilliam Fletcher and, as Dr. Wittich says, M1938 enthusiastic admissions counselors. Wforking to provide more facilities for increasing enrollment is Mr. Wfillard Umbreit, Director of the Greater DePauw Program. The most recent project is the Roy O. VVest Library, which should be completed by the fall of 1956. The Director of Church Relations, Dr. Orville Davis, co-ordinates campus religious activities, serves as coun- selor on religious matters, and directs church relations for DePauw. He is also Executive Secretary for the Council on Religious Life.
