MR. YOUNG serves as Administrative Assistant and is closely connected with college promotion and de- velopment work. This narrows down to working with people ( friends, industry, and alumni ) interested in developing and promoting a greater Elizabethtown College in reference to financial support. This work is done through personal contacts and interviews. According to Mr, Young, My job is to find new friends for the college because it is through friends and supporters that the success or failure of the col- lege depends. ' ' lie realizes the independent college is being faced with the problem of sustenance and must be able to develop a well-balanced financial pic- ture. The college must have an increased endow- ment, adequate finances, essential accommodations. an excellent, well-balanced liberal arts curricula and a qualified staff of instructors to insure the students of a par excellence program. Robert S. Young MR. WEAVER formerly taught in the business de- partment, but the expansion of the college has neces- sitated his limiting his duties to those of managing the college bookstore and post office. This entails supervising the fulltime employees as well as eight student assistants. In order to supply students with the required materials he associates closely with the registrar and the department heads. In addition the store, a member of NACS (National Association of College Stores), is filled with other needs and desires ol the students. In the post office 1.000 items of U.S. mail are handled every morning. As the official college repre- sentative with the U.S. post office. Mr. Weaver also processes many third class bulk mailings. Added to this are numerous inter-campus communications, monthly mailings of the alumni edition of the EtOV mini, and quarterly bulletin mailings. The con- tinued effort to improve and expand services to stu- dents, faculty, and staff will be the aim of Mr. Weaver. Wilbur E. Weaver

D. Paul Greene SUPPLYING THE COLLEGE with students is the main responsibility of the Director of Admissions. Each year he and his assistant must process person- ally over one thousand applications. It is not just a matter of choosing the most intelligent students, but choosing the appropriate number according to the department facilities, meeting the needs of the prospective students as far as the college is con- cerned, and meeting the needs of the community and church. A cross section of students is certainly aimed at. Dean Greene believes the quality of the incoming students is increasing rapidly. Corresponding to this job of supplying students is the program of mailing. Five thousand catalogues are sent out each year and two hundred pieces of mail are handled each week. All scholarships and grants are handled through this office. Dean Greene and his assistant, Mr. Garland, interview close to one thousand prospective students a year. The two of them travel 25,000 miles a year visiting high schools and attending conferences. They visit three hundred high schools and participate in sixty Col- lege Nights. Since Dean Greene ' s arrival here in 1953, he has established the college as a member of the American Colleges Admissions Commission and the College Entrance Examination Board. He instigated the es- tablishment of parish grants and a new scholarship program. He feels his insistence upon a personal interview with each applicant is also an important step. CAREFUL RECORDS of each student ' s courses and credits are necessary for completion of require- ments for graduation. In the registrar ' s office of Professor Eisenbise a student can receive coun- selling on when would be a good time to take a cer- tain course and what requirements must be met. Professor Eisenbise also has the responsibility of developing and deleting courses. Having come to the Elizabethtown College campus in 1962, he was promoted to acting registrar this year. His teaching responsibilities include Basic Math and Beginning German courses. His committee duties are on the Committee of Admissions and the Committee of Instruction. In his area there are a few future goals which he hopes to see realized. The shifting of record keep- ing in the office to IBM data processing would in- crease efficiency and speed. As the college develops, he hopes to microfilm all records of students from the beginning of their college careers. Russell Eisenbise

Clarence G. Enterline PROFESSOR ENTERLINE, as the Alumni secretary, as- sumes the duties of establishing new alumni chapters and seeing that the existing ones are active. Since he acts as the official liaison officer between the college and graduates, he helps in fund campaigns and planning Homecoming and Alumni Days. Professor Enterline has established his goal of a good- will service available in The Secretary ' s Angle column in the alumni edition of the Etownian. He hopes his other goals will be realized also. They include increased alumni activity, campus seminars for alumni, and self-sufficient chapters. More active and better informed alumni are good publicity facets and needed strength for the college. DR. BERKEBILE, in addition to being professor of chem- istry, has two other important functions. He serves as our Director of Teachers for West Africa Program, helping to recruit, screen and process twenty-five teachers per year to be sent into the secondary schools of Ghana and Nigeria. The funds for this are supplied as a beneficence by the Hershey Chocolate Corporation. Dr. Berkebile will fly to Africa this spring to evaluate the problems of the present thirty-three participants in order to provide a smoother pro- gram for the new recruitments. As director of the college ' s extension program, he acts as liaison person between the college and the administrative office of the Harrisburg Center and provides the faculty for this center. JERALD L. GARLAND, a 1959 graduate of Elizabethtown College, returned to his Alma Mater last September as As- sistant to the Dean of Admissions. Due to the increasing amount of work connected with the Admissions Office, Mr. Garland joined the staff to aid in the task of interviewing, processing applications and visiting high schools. JASON LINDOWER, newly added to the administrative staff this year, aids Mr. Kurtz with the increased business and finance of the college resulting from the expanding enrollment. His particular duties include purchasing, hand- ling student accounts, reporting, and running the business office.
