Monthly balance sheets have omit- ted the previous problem of digging through old records for information. Major decisions were made regarding emphasis on budgeting areas. Malcolm Campbell, consultant to Dean Robert Cooley, also acted as a faculty member this year. Part of his responsi- bilities was doing work on computers for the library. Plans for using computer devices for classroom work, budgeting, and accounting developed to a high efficiency. Betty Chase, information service direc- tor, was the only member of the Greater Springfield Press Club who has served for more than two years and has become a delegate for vice-president. Among Miss Chase's duties were alerting the public of activities concerning Evangel College students both on campus and off. Sports information, which was cus- tomarily a part of her department, was under the direction of David Spillman. 47

Division of records adjusts In accordance with the entire reorgani- zation of the college, the offices of the registrar, admissions, and library took a momentous step in up dating their divisions. Leland Despain, acting dean of the division of records and registration saw several major changes in his de- partment. A body computer was install- ed for use in the Fall and according to Despain, its performance proved highly satisfactory. Another major innovation in the regis- trar's office was the use of microfilm. This change gave the division more space and helped alleviate the problem of maintaining past records. to reorganization Serving as library director and as assoc- iate professor of library science, Frances Berkihiser helped initiate several innova- tions in her department. The addition of a new circulation desk in the main floor lobby along with a new art display cabinet, were just a few of the modifications that gave the library a fresh new iook. Harland Kingsriter, director of admis- sions also experienced a few unexpected shifts in his own area of supervision.

William Gunn, director of Evangel's food service, and his staff have prepared about 380,000 meals this year, using about 37 tons of potatoes, 34 tons of vegetables, and hundreds of pounds of meat. The cafeteria served about 150 more per meal than last year. The dining room has been quiet; dress has been better, said Gunn. We, the staff, are real pleased. With the opening of Walther and Krause Halls and Crusadg Hall this year, the Gunn, Davis maintain food and housing services despite record enrollment duties of Emmett Davis, superintendent of buildings and grounds, have increased. The cost of maintenance has also in- creased since last year. Examples of the high cost include about $63,000 for heat, $10,000 for water, and $5,600 just to remove the trash. Davis and the maintenance crew are to be commended for their dedicated ser- vice to the college.
