in -V EDWARD L. ROEDERER Public lnforination ROY W. BIXLER Registrar' These are Drake's top administrators These are the men who ease the admini- strative burden from President Harmon's shoulders. EDXVARD L. ROEDERER, di- rector of the public information office, spends much of his time visiting high schools in and around the state. He gives talks and shows films about Drake. Regis- tration at Drake has become almost an easy task thanks to the work of ROY XV. BIXLER, registrar. RICHARD A. EAR- LEY took over his duties as head librarian last fall. One of the first things he did was secure a new lighting system for the reading rooms. Since the resignation of Merril M, Barlow as business manager, BURT E. ASHMAN has been filling the job of coordinating the business depart- ment until another appointment is made. ln April, 1949, MELVIN XV. HYDE as- sumed his position as the first Assistant President in the history of Drake. The position was created in an effort to relieve President Harmon of some of the duties coming from an increased enrollment and enlarged campus. MELVIN W. HYDE Asst. President BURT E.
