E. G. Meyer Rosalie E. Bowers Library Assistants Elizabeth G. Bowerman Irene Saylor Reference Librarian Cataloguing Librarian Dorothy N. Hamilton, Elizabeth A. Miller, Anna V. Yancey, and Grace E. Rhen Secretaries LIBRARIANS The librarians have a tremendous responsibility to the faculty and students of Elizabethtown College. This re- sponsibility can be divided into three distinct areas. First, they, with the help of the faculty, select the materials and books, but also journals, records, newspapers, pamphlets, government documents, films and maps in terms of the academic needs of the students and faculty. Books for reading enjoyment must also be selected. Secondly, the li- brarians must prepare these materials for use by ordering, cataloguing, marking, and housing them in the most effi- cient manner. Thirdly they serve the students by helping them obtain the materials and information that they need. In their attempts to fulfill their responsibilities, the librarians hope that by having the materials organized, learning will be made easier. They want to support in- creasingly the students and faculty in efforts to get more materials. With the new addition to our library, an increase in the collection of books will .be possible. This will not only increase our capacities for research, but it will also be satisfying to the librarians who are working so hard to reach a goal. Anne M. Carper Head Librarian Page Nineteen

Martha A. Farver Office Manager To take care of the increasing responsibili- ties and duties resulting from the growing num- ber of students, Mr. Garland assists Dean Greene in processing and evaluating applica- tions. He interviews many high school students who consider attending the college. Mr. Garland then arranges for these applicants to tour the campus and attend a few classes to get an idea what college is like. Besides his responsibilities as assistant to the director of admissions, Mr. Garland has joined the faculty to teach several classes. Mr. Garland received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Elizabethtown College and a Mas- ter of Science degree from Temple University. Martha Farver has ably served as office man- ager and secretary to Mr. Kurtz, for eleven years. Before coming to Elizabethtown, Miss Farver worked for the Pennsylvania Realtors Association in Harrisburg. Miss Farver ' s many duties include acting as liaison officer between the secretarial staff and the administration. She is also responsible for the work policies of the secretarial personnel. She arranges for vacation schedules and switch- board coverage during the college vacation pe- riod and keeps records of vacations, sickness, and tardiness of all office workers. Miss Farver is a graduate of Pennsylvania Business College. Jerald L. Garland Assistant in Admissions Our increasing alumni and student body has necessitated the addition of an assistant alumni secretary and placement officer. He is Mr. Rob- ert V. Hanle. Presently his job has been to learn the alumni and placement work. He attends alumni chapter and council meetings to invoke enthusiasm for their Alma Mater. In addition, he has visited personnel offices in business and industry to introduce our college and invite them to recruit on our campus. Mr. Hanle in cooperation with Mr. Enterline hopes to widen the operation of the placement services to in- clude career information for underclassmen and to provide a larger selection of personnel offices for our graduates. Mr. Hanle received a Bachelor of Arts de- gree from Elizabethtown College in 1962. He is now pursuing a Master of Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Page Eighteen Robert V.

Zeigler A.B., Elizabethtown College; B.D. United Theological Seminary; D.D., Elizabethtown College BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY Our departmental anticipations for the future are centered in depth to go along with breadth. We have an adequate choice and spread of basic study areas within our course offerings in both philosophy and biblical studies. It would be helpful, we be- lieve, to provide the opportunity for a student interested in phil- osophy to take more than the introductory history of philosophy (three hour course). This anticipation would imply a full year ' s course in a more intensive introduction to philosophical thought. This choice, along with the advanced courses in philosophy and ethics, would strengthen our philosophy program. In the biblical field we also have a wide range of subjects, very adequate for a collegiate curriculum. The basic survey of biblical history should be intensified to provide an advanced working knowledge of the Bible. Both the above items will be subject to the current study and reappraisal of our college curricula. Our program of inde- pendent study for qualified senior students can certainly be ex- panded to meet any special academic demands. As a department, we can visualize a senior level field service assignment and study program. This could possibly be in conjunc- tion with other departments in the social sciences. The project, limited to seniors, would allow a student to serve on a part time basis in a community welfare center in a neighboring urban area and thus be able to get some first-hand practical experience in the human relations directly related to the student ' s major field of study. We believe this would add strength to our department and would give it another valid expression in the realm of our contemporary social situation. Much planning would be impera- tive for this venture to be effectively inaugurated. We continue to encourage any serious student, in addition to our departmental majors, to seek a mature orientation to our contemporary religious situation by electing some of our advance courses.
