President, administrator, dorm mate, and thummy99 The concern and dedication which Presi- dent J. Robert Ashcroft has long held for the students came out most strongly this year when he participated in the Harvest Festival as a dummy for ventriloquist Fred Pettet and when he spent a week in Krause Hall rapping with the male students. Ashcroft received a standing ovation for his act, but more than for his perfor- mance, the ovation was for an adminis- trator who the students realized genuine- Iy cared. Ashcroft's administrative functions con- sisted of streamlining the organization of the college and improving opportuni- ties for individuals to become involved in some facet of Christian service. Unlike presidents of many colleges and universities, President Ashcroft main- tained a high degree of rapport with the students during the crises on a majority of college campuses.

Robert Ashcroft keeps busy in his daily administrative activities; bottom 'Eft. he raps with Delton Judd in Krause Hall; and, bottom right, he plays the dummy for ventriloquist Fred Pettet.
