Ruth K. Lehman Assistant to the Registrar Terry Cowan WFM( Station Manager Pressure is a problem you feel and sense, stated EMC ' s new dean, Daniel Yutzy. However, he was enthu- siastic about the continued support of staff and students, and evaluated his first year of deanship as an enjoyable one. Yutzy approved of the school ' s academic program, noting that the nursing, pre-medical, and education programs were particularly successful. This was evidenced by the number of student majors and the opportunities available to graduates. Of special interest to him was the IDS core program. Transcultural studies formed a valuable part of aca- demic offerings. Summer seminars will be continued and the possibility of programs in Japan and Africa will be determined after evaluation of Euro-term. No curriculum can remain static. It must be con- stantly under review, Yutzy commented. Developing a more career-oriented program for the faculty is another goal. The dean ' s approach to EMC ' s future is discovering and implementing the principles of Chris- tian brotherhood in a college setting. J. David Yoder BA Director of Admissions

BUSINESS AFFAIRS Ula R. Martin Assistant to the Director of Business Harvey S. Schrock BRE Affairs Director of Business Affairs Clayton D. Showalter Bookstore Manager E. Grant Herr MA Purchasing Agent We have good relations with the rest of the college, Harvey Schrock grinned, We control the purse strings! While Business Affairs managed the college budget through the competency of the Accounting Office and Computing Center, many other services played important roles in this division of the campus again this year. Food Services, under the direction of Lynn Bontrager, continued buffet-style cafeteria service. Students appreciated greater selection of foods and special occasion meals. Bontrager also managed the college snack shop, providing pre-packaged, hot and cold foods to custom- ers. With the addition of construction manager Phil Kreider to the maintenance staff, work on building projects progressed well. A wing to the seminary building, classrooms for nursing, history, and Bible departments were Included in the scope of additions and renovations. The next major building project to be completed will be a Dis- clpieshlp Center on the hill behind the Administration Building. As funds become available committee plans for chapel renovation will be realized. A decrease In enrollment hampered budgeting this year, and Its ef- fects will probably be felt again next fall. Since tuition fees make up approximately half of the college Income, hopes for a balanced budget may yet be realized if enrollment next year remains stable. Schrock commended the attitudes of many faculty and staff members toward the tight budget. They ' re working with us as much as possible, he stated, but there are some things we just do without. 27
