C. G. Enterline Alumni Secretary and Placement Director Exploring new areas and developing: friends as sources of financial support for the college are the main responsi- bilities of the administrative associate. Many individuals and business industrial organizations share the Christian concept of higher education and are willing to aid the college financially. Mr. Young is concerned with the development and cultivation of people who are interested in the church- founded, independent college. Personal contacts and interviews constitute a great part of Mr. Young ' s duties, and it is necessary for him to travel to distant locations as well as to immediate areas. The col- lege receives financial support in the form of cash, com- memorative gifts, or gifts in terms of shares. Many people take great satisfaction in designating the gift for a special building or room. Others wish to share in the development of the college by giving capital assets such as stocks, bonds, farms, or other real estate. Mr. Young ' s office is also con- nected with estate planning work, in which the college re- ceives deferred gifts from people who wish to include the college in their wills. Professor Clarence G. Enterline serves the college in the positions of alumni secretary and placement service director. He acts to establish support between the college and its alumni.

Included in the duties of the director of the placement office are informing the student body of job opportunities and facilitiating the employment of seniors. Professor Enterline ' s aims for the college are to organize the alumni chapters where they are needed. He is also interested in reactivating the inactive chapters. There have been ten new chapters started within the last year, bringing the total number of alumni chapters to twenty. He is looking forward to the eventual expansion of the placement pro- gram and its separation from the alumni office. Serving for ten years as principal of the Reading High School adult evening school, Professor Enterline gained many experiences which were beneficial in his present work. He holds a B.S. in social studies and an M.S. in secondary school administration from the University of Pennsylvania. He has also done additional graduate work in psychology, mass media, and journalism at the Universities of New Hamp- shire and Maine and the Pennsylvania State University. Robert S.

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
