Mrs. Clark, Wray tackle big task with increased enrollment The position of assistant dean of students was filled by Emerald Wray, a newcomer to Evangel College. As assistant dean, Wray appointed resident assistants and resident supervisors, and he worked closely with students. The resident supervisors for the men's dormitories were Wayne Tesch, Ron Hohenadel, and Mike Thomas. Under these men, dorm boards were chosen by their peers to carry out special projects such as Apple Day, HeIp-a-Kid, and other dorm activities. With the addition of two large housing units and the increase in enrollment, Mrs. Lucille Clark, director of women's activities, took on a job of great responsi- bility. Mom Clark, as she is commonly called by the students, had the oppor- tunity to counsel as problems arose in her area of supervision. Under her di- rection were Maybelle Anderson, R. S. of Spence, and Miriam Shaw, R. S. of the small dorms. 49

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.

50 Chaney, Ernst, Nicholson stimulate scholarly activity The backbone of the total learning en- vironment at Evangel College was di- rected predominately by the progressive thinking of three professors: Dr. Joel Chaney, Dr. Walter Ernst, and Dr. Joe Nicholson. During the past year these men have co- ordinated their divisions in a manner which would best stimulate the intellec- tual interest of both the faculty and stu- dents. Dr. Chaney, chairman of the Divi- sion of Social Sciences, sought to initiate creative ideas in the departments of Business and Economics, Education and Psychology, and Social Studies. Chaney's responsibilities included supervising the 15 disciplines in his division and serving as reference point for some 35 pro- fessors and instructors. In addition to the above, he taught several courses in the area of business administration. Adjacent to Chaney in the division tri- angle, Dr. Ernst, chairman of the Divi- sion of Science and Mathematics, strove TOD right, Dr. Joe Nicholson, chairman of the Division of Humanities; bottom rlght, Dr. Walter Ernst, chairman of the Division of Science and Mathematics; and bottom left, -Dr. Joel Chaney, chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. to tie together the science areas in an ef- fort to keep up with the latest scientific developments. Stifled by a lack of fa- cilities, his division began a building program which culminated in the join- ing of the Chemistry, Biology, and Physics areas. Ernst helped authorize a new nursing program apart from the traditional Biology department and a pre-engineering program in conjunction with the Physics and Mathematics areas. Dr. Nicholson, chairman of the Division of Humanities, supervised a great por- tion of EC's scholarly activity. With 39 faculty members under his charge, Ni- cholson endeavored to grant each of the three departments in his division much creative freedom. He was instrumental in originating a spirit of exchange be- tween areas and even between the vari- ous departments. In the Jan-term course MJFLM giiCulture, art, literature, and philosophy were combined to give stu- dents a thorough understanding of hu- man thought and relations.
