I ' . y PRESIDENT SAMMARTINO Noteworthy New Book Published Dr. Peter Sammartino is an acknowledged businessman, private diplomat, author, and educator. He has stated that his iioverall aim is to strengthen the University in every way possiblefi Dr. Sammartino has attempted to work towards this goal in many ways. The University is a thriving concern which now numbers five campuses. Each campus has its own raison tlaetre, and each fulfills a specific need. The basic theory behind these campuses - Rutherford. Teaneck, Madison, Hackensack, Banbury tEnglandl e is explained in Dr. Sammartinds new book Multiple Campuses. However, Dr. Sammartino would be one of the flrst to acknowledge that a horizontal growth in size cannot be purchased at the expense of academic achievements. 8 The time has come to develop what we already have, and Dr. Sammartino has already begun this. Enrollment has not increased within the past three years; indeed, a recent raising of the academic standards required for admission to Fairleigh Dickinson has resulted in a slight drop in total enrollment. In addition, an attempt is being made to construct all of the buildings recommended by various faculty committees. How- ever, Dr. Sammartino realizes that, unfortunately, there is iinot enough money . . . to do all the things we hope to do? Recent achievements do offer hope for the future, however. The University has just begun an Institute of Continuing Educa- tion which offers cirefresher coursesii to iimature individualsii interested in continuing their education.
