Professor of French and German, Mary Eleanor Ben- der, received a Fulbright Scholarship in 1964 which enabled her to study in France last sulnmer. Spending two weeks in Paris and four weeks at Pau in the Pyrenees Mountains, she studied the language and literature, but primarily the civilization of the country. Mr. and Mrs. Smith spent the summer touring and studying in Mexico and E1 Salvador as leaders of a group of fourteen college students. Making stops at Carlsbad Caverns, Mexico City, San Miguel, Guate- mala and San Salvador during their trip permitted the group to study geology, geography, history and art. Mrs. Smith's responsibilities varied, she taught some Spanish, found places for the students to live, helped direct the lectures, served as interpreter and acted as the general trouble-shooter. Al Albrecht was the new face in the speech depart- ment. Coming to us with an all-inclusive education re- ceived in the school of life, the associate professor planned to record the insights of his experience and knowledge in a forthcoming autobiography. Professor of speech, Roy Umble, had a keen interest in the Mennonite's use of mass media, particularly radio. Mr. Umble served on the Board of Directors of Menno- nite Broadcasts and was also the Program Director for the Goshen College radio station-WGCS.

Necessary to the good interest of Goshen College as the hand is to the body, these members of the Goshen body receive comparatively little notice or distinction. As Director of College Relations, Robert Kreider acted as liaison between the students and the constitu- ency. Organizing the fund drive for Goshen's future development, he began by planning meetings with com- munity leaders and publicizing in local newspapers, alumni newsletters and the Gospel Herald. The ob- ject of the most immediate financial need was the proposed 31.000000 library. John Zook joined Leland Weldy as admissions coun- selor. In addition to visiting nearly 150 high schools throughout the United States and talking to many prospective students, they also planned two campus Open House programs for high school seniors, one at Homecoming and another during the spring. Retuming after a summer f1963j as physician in the Fernheim Colony in Paraguay, another summer in Europe and a vear of postdoctoral study at the Uni- versity of Michigan, H. Clair Amstutz resumed his position as college physician. John H. Liechty began as director of the newly created Office of Alumni Relations. Specifically, he was involved in serving regional alumni clubs and aid- ing with the continuing education of the alumni. He also worked in the field of alumni giving, setting 875,000 as the 1964-65 goal. t 5 . Assistant Head Residents: Jim Alderfer, Evelyn Zuercher, John Zook.
