E OF ME The delayed completion of a new men's residence hall has provided an additional allenge for Hal Wassink in his first year as Dean of Men. With extra students having be placed wherever space can be made available, the Dean is nevertheless determined make the living situation a part of the educational process at Wesleyan. A part of is process concerns establishing activities and relationships within each residence unit at offer opportunities for the students to mature emotionally and socially in parallel their intellectual development. In this regard, Dean Wassink expects to work closely ith residence hall staffs and hall officers to advise and encourage programs and ents that will aid this development. Although occasionally involved in disciplinary cases, Dean Wassink feels confident at the majority of the problems of this type can be handled by the students them- lves. As a result, such problems do not consume a major portion of his time. This ea, together with his work with the physical maintenance of the men's living units, is e more mundane yet necessary side of his job. Contact with students is another avowed goal of the Dean of Men. This is facilitated an open door policy that encourages communication with residents of the campus. is communication is meant to include the whole spectrum of student concerns from erely informational matters to personal problems. In addition to the afore mentioned eas of concern, the Dean of Men attempts to maintain an overview of the whole mpus. Virginia E. Smith, M.A., University of Minnesota . . .

Short, lVI.M.E., Illinois Wesleyan University . . . Director of Development The scope of the development office is not limited simply to raising funds, for it is concerned with the overall image of the university as well. Since the sole purpose of seeking outside financial aid is for the benefit of the student body, Lee Short, as Director of Development, constantly seeks ways in which to involve students in the actual fund raising process. During the past year, the Development Office succeeded in raising 31,4-14-,959, an amount equivalent to a 50 per cent increase over the past year. At the present time, an expendi- ture of 23 cents is required for each dollar received. Mr. Short's objective for 1969-70 is to reduce the 23 cent expedi- ture to 15 cents. Depending upon the size and stipulation associated with a donation, there are three separate categories of gifts-re- stricted, deferred and capital. Whenever a gift may be used only for a specific purpose, it is termed restricted. Money left to the university through wills is designated as deferredg and finally, donations of 81,000 or more are referred to as capital gifts. - :u1--- - is..- A '-lunnu'P James Ridenour, B.A., Illinois Wesleyan University . . . Associate Director of Development. As the Associate Director of Development, James Ridenour is vitally involved in the processes by which Illinois Wesleyan survives financially. His particular area of responsibility within the Office of Development is annual funds. Specifically these funds are the Century Club, John Wesley Powell Club, University Fellows, and the Presidentis Club. Last year these funds rose steeply and greatly contributed to the balancing of the University's budget. Another aspect of the job of the Associate Director con- cerns the attempt to attract major gifts to the University. Wesleyan's program must be made relevant to people who are in the position to contribute, and definite programs must be available at the proper time to allow them the opportunity to participate when they wish. Recently this office has been engaged in an attempt to involve students in the development aspect of Wesleyan. Al- though plans are still indefinite, this possibility offers en- couraging prospects.
