Pub c Affairs Mr. W. Lawson Allen is the Director of Public Affairs at HPC. As Director he is in charge of the news bureau, alumni af- fairs, the speaker bureau, mail service for all second and third class postage, fund raising, and record keeping for gifts given to the College. One of his most important duties is institutional planning in the long range stage. One of the long range pro- grams on campus today is the Golden Decade Program, which started in 1965 and will run until 1974 when HPC will be celebrating its fiftieth anniver- sary. Mr. Allen helps in raising money for the program by de- veloping literature. Money has been raised for the Golden Decade Program through indivi- dual gifts, deferred giving, cor- porate gifts, and alumni con- tributions. Last year 42 per cent of HPC ' s alumni made contri- butions. This is almost twice the percentage of the national aver- age for a college of HPC ' s size and type. Co-ordinating the various operations in college relations is Mr. Lawson Allen, Direc- tor of Public Affairs. Mrs. Beverly McCabe serves as Executive Alumni Secretary. Mr. Lane Kerr, Director of HPC ' s News Bureau, works on one of the many news releases that come from his office each year. : :-:

Student Affairs The primary objective of the Student Personnel Office under its new administrator, Dean Phillips, is to tear down the disciplinary image which is strangling it. Too many students equate only discipline with this office, but actually it is also in charge of health, housing, social affairs, security and the new senior placement services. It works closely with the Inter-Fraternity Council, Student Union and the Student Government Association. Dean Phillips also hopes to gather more student participation in other branches of his office. The Dean found no major problems in his first year in this position. In fact, the trial co-ed dormitory proved successful and caused fewer behavioral problems than the other dormitories. During his administration the student dress code has been dropped on a trial basis in favor of one based on the students ' own judgment. In the dormitories, in order to help relieve the house- mothers ' long hours and responsibilities, paid house managers were chosen from the students. The many-faceted role of the Student Personnel Office has everyone ' s interests in mind. Mr. Robert E. Phillips served in his first year as Dean of Stu- dents. For the first time in HPC history, an on-campus physician. Dr. Fortney served the students. Women ' s affairs is part of the responsibility of Mrs. Nanci Motsinger, Assistant Dean of Stu- dents. The guidance office is often open for Dr. Pope to interpret test scores for HPC students. 27

Mr. Wesley W. Gaynor, Bursar, is the man who takes in the student fees at the beginning of each semester. Mr. Earle G. Dalbey became Vice-President in charge of Business and Financial Affairs this year. In addition to his administrative duties, he taught one course in the business department during the first semester. Business Affairs Mr. Jack Thompson is in charge of the much-criticized, under-staffed HPC maintenance department. The business and financial affairs of HPC include many aspects of college life, from payrolls and audits to main- tenance and food service. As head of this vital organ of HPC Mr. Earle G. Dalbey, Business Manager, has many responsibilities. Although there have been no new areas placi d under his control in recent years, his present duties have increased with the additions of the Magic Blocc, the new Eastgate Shopping Center, new campus buik ings, and federal aid programs. Although the nature of the Business Manager ' s role sug ;sts an isolation from the students, the opposite is actL. illy true at HPC. As advisor to the SGA and some- times liaison between administration and students, Mr. Dalbey finds his job significantly related to HPC ' s student body. Many students enter his office during the year for advice, both official and unofficial. Mrs. Annie Parks serves students and faculty every day in the mimeograph office. 29
