Final Say in all University activities is left to its chief executive. Dr. R. W. Fairchild. Presidential duties keep him working all day and late into the night. Clearinghouse for curricular adjustments and court of appeals for dis- tressed students is the office of the University Dean, H. H. Schroeder. Meet The Powers That Be In Our RDminiSTRRTIVE COTOL It all started back in 1938 when President Fairchild gathered together the executives of the school and told them of his ideas concerning the formation of an administrative council. There had been a felt need to organize such a council that would consider matters of discipline as well as give assistance in immediate administrative decisions. Such actions would eliminate the bringing of such details before the university senate or the faculty as a whole. Together with Dean Schroeder, Dean Barton, Assistant Dean Keaton, Dean Linkins, Dr. Carring- ton, Mr. Goodier, and Miss Brenneman, President Fairchild worked out the council. For four years, this administrative group has most capably carried out its many and varied duties with regard to important issues that have to do with life at I.S.N.U. Since its beginning, this group has added both a new member and a new feature in the scope of its activities. This year Dr. DeYoung also works on the council as the Adminis- trative Assistant to the President. Along with their other duties, these people now investigate and take into consideration the development of university activities in general. As one of the outgrowths of their work, the council estab- lished eight standing committees that are working toward the Improvement of Teacher Education. Every member of the fac- ulty is on one of these committees and works enthusiastically with: Mr. Struck on Character and Religious Education . . . Mr. Larsen on Extra-Class Activities . . . Miss Tipton on Per- sonal Growth and Development . . . Miss Bergland on Physi- cal Well-Being . . . Mr. Harper on Professional Attitudes . . . Miss Whitten on Scholarship . . . Mr. Kinneman on Social Interests and Attitudes . . . and Miss Stroud on Skill in Teaching. Among other important developments which the council has fostered are the faculty counselling system and the revised pro- bation system. Yes, it ' s real work, but there ' s much to be gained. Notable author and a good Joe to the students is the Administrative Council ' s newest member Dr. C. A. DeYoung, Assistant to the President. Consideration of matters of immediate administrative importance is the main function of the Council meeting. Shown here are: Fairchild, Schroeder, Brenneman, Goodier, Keaton, Carrington, Barton, DeYoung, and Linkins. 18

Blatnik assists Fox and Meeker in dispersing routine business of the day at the Bureau of Appointments. All of the graduating seniors hopefully frequent this office day by day. Mr. Irvin, the university ' s business manager, pauses momen- tarily on stairway in Old Main to exchange a morning greeting. Health Service personnel of Vogel, Breeding, Dr. Cooper, Jontz, Shea, and Staker try to prevent and cure all of the physical ailments of affected students. Much of the Success of a School Is Dependent Upon Its ROUTine RDffliniSTRRTIOn What happens behind the scenes in the various offices at I.S.N.U. is not necessarily a secret, but no one seems to know much about them except the capable people who work in these busy places. They have something of a quiet efficiency that does not expect the fanfare of noisy publicity. The registrar ' s office is a buzz of activity. Everyone has distinc- tive activities, yet they all work together like a body of beavers. Files and more files . . . clicking typewriters and have we any carbon paper? . . . important records and the dean is busy now . . . The important job of a college registrar is held by Miss Elsie Brenneman. Others who work in this office are Miss Feme Melrose, recorder and Miss Lottie Boundy, secretary to the Dean. Miss Zanni, secretory to registrar; Miss Boundy, programmer and secretary for Dean Schroeder; Miss Kelley, assistant registrar, and Miss Melrose, recorder. Bookstore staff Henderson, Berner, Howmiller, Miss Henline as director, DeBarr, and Gathmonn. This is a typical scene at the end of any current semester. 20
