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

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. : :-:

Intercollegiate athletn artistic performance, the academ ic struggle— these are portions of the middle view of HPC, those campus events and activ which can be seen in two ways, one way by the student himself and another by the person outside the college proper. This double image of these activities suggests their significance. They not only provide areas in which the college student can partici- pate but also serve to inform the outsider of HPC ' s progress. It is through these activities of the middle view that a college establishes its reputation. To some people HPC may be known for its winning basketball team, while to others it may be known for a certain department ' s aca- demic superiority over other schools. Consequently, each part of the middle view reaches a certain portion of the general population. The middle view allows the HPC student to relate to the outside community around him. He participates in the activities of the College and, at the same time, acts as HPC ' s representative to the public. With this duality in its nature, the middle view provides a much more extensive look at HPC than does the outer view. The middle view offers an impres- sion of depth.
