D. Paul Greene Director of Admissii The primary responsibility of the dean of admissions is to supply the college with students. Each year Dean Greene and his assistant, Mr. Garland, process and evalu- ate approximately twelve hundred prospective applicants for admission. This office aims at choosing a cross section of students. Dean Greene must take into consideration the needs of the prospective students as far as the college, the community, and the church are concerned. In addition to holding personal interviews with the applicants, Dean Greene keeps in contact with the pros- pective students indirectly by mailing numerous catalogues, brochures, and other information to them. He visits high schools and attends a number of conferences each year to keep well informed about student trends and ideas and to discuss the benefits and curricula of a church-affiliated, independent liberal arts college where a student can enjoy freedom in intellectual pursuit. Scholarships and grants available to the student are handled through the admissions office, and Dean Greene has been instrumental in investigating the establishment of the parish grants as a member of the College Entrance Board and the American Colleges Admissions Commission. Russell E. Eisenbise Registrar Jason Lindower, formerly the assistant to the treasurer, is now serving the college as manager of the business office. His specific duties are to oversee the general accounting of the college, serve ps purchasing agent, administer the the budget, and prepare budget reports. In addition, he su- pervises the business office and handles student accounts, including the accident and health insurance programs. He also teaches a principles of accounting course. Mr. Lindower holds a B.S. in business from Manchester College, Indiana, and an M.B.A. in accounting from Indiana University. Before joining the staff of the college, he was a tax accountant with an accounting firm. Keeping a careful academic record of students and alumni is the responsibility of the registrar, Russell Eisen- bise. He also schedules classes, adding new courses to ac- commodate the increasing needs of students and the in- creasing requirements for certification. Prof Eisenbise counsels students, telling them what requirements must be met to fulfill their academic desires. With the great increase in the number of students at Elizabethtown College, the registrar ' s office has moved in the direction of automation. At the present, all the record keeping has been shifted to IBM equipment. The records of all the graduates have been microfilmed for protection and preservation. Prof. Eisenbise hopes that the college will be able to get its own microfilm equipment within the near future. In the future Prof. Eisenbise would like to see the college become more selective in choosing its student body, considering a prospective student ' s moral values as well as his academic record. As our college grows, we can no longer accept everyone who applies, but we must seek out those conscientious students who will use their college years wisely. Prof. Eisenbise received a B.S. from McPherson College and a M.A. from Temple University. Page Fourteen Jason D. Lindower Assistant to the Treasurer
