Peggy B. Shenk Secretary to the President President Augsburger noted a change in student mood this year. He commented, There is more openness to the church and its mission to the world. He pointed out that this renewed interest in the Christian church at large also brought about concern for the peace mission of the Mennonite Church in particular. Although there were undercurrents of apathy, he felt that this was only a par- tial expression of campus mood. There was also real spiritual vitality. This aspect, combined with EMC ' s academic offerings, will continue to attract students to the college. After teaching experience abroad, Lester Shank returned to serve as assistant to the president. Mr. Shank served as EMC registrar and earlier as assistant to former President John Mumaw. He com- mented that he felt at home in his new position. The administra- tion does not anticipate staff changes in the immediate future. The administrative goals are based on a fairly stable number of students. Rather than emphasizing expansion, the college aims for enrichment of its present program. These plans include study op- portunities for faculty. Esther Augsburger and Myron Augsburger ThD President Professor of Theology
