Ed Alsene . . . Director of Publicity and Sports Information When it comes to interpreting the university and its pro- grams to the surrounding community, Ed Alsene is in a crucial position. As Director of Publicity and Sports ln- formation, it is his responsibility to breach the gap between campus and community. In order that the university main- tain an open, working relationship with the media, all aspects of a situation must be reported. Thus the bitter must be con- veyed along with the sweet. His job is made difficult by the fact that he must keep this in mind while releasing information concerning athletic, academic, and extracurricular achievements of the various members of the academic community. Some 9,000 news out- lets, including hometown newspapers for all students, must be carefully furnished with various news releases. lt's a sizeable job, but one that must be carried out efficiently if Wesleyan is to maintain its place in the community. 9? Jerry Bidle . . . Director of Public Relations From the current Senate happenings to releases on the Fine Arts Department to the coverage of special events, public awareness is directed towards the creation of the total image of the university by the Director of Public Relations, Jerry Bidle. Though new to campus life, Mr. Bidle's previous broadcast experience provides a background for his efforts in establish- ing a permanent oral history of Illinois Wesleyan. Eventually to be housed in the library for use by students and faculty, the oral history will be comprised of discussions and inter- views with visiting dignitaries and prominent alumni. In- cluded among the first tapes are the Borman news confer- ence, and interviews with NBA basketball star Bill Russell, former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, and Illinois Lt. Governor Paul Simon. Mr. Bidle expressed the belief that an oral library would bring to life Wesleyan's history for future students.

James R. Barbour, M.S., Florida State University . . Registrar. As university registrar, James Barbour, approaches his position with the philosophy that his office is designed as a service to students and the faculty, with all functions re- volving around the maintenance of student records. Present- ly, three copies of each student's record are on file, including two on microfilm. Technical duties associated with the regis- trar include: the recording of grades, scheduling of room assignments, and the organizing of registration procedures. In accordance with university regulations, this office also checks for graduation requirements, and notifies seniors of their candidacy for graduation. Implementation of computer programming has resulted in a more efficient distribution of grades, and in the elimina- tion of one clerical post. Ideally the computer will eventually be utilized to prepare a complete transcript of a student's record each time grades are tabulated, thus providing an automatic check for graduation requirements. Ronald Campbell . . . Bookstore manager. Serving consecutively as both Manager of the University Bookstore and of the Central Office Services is Ronald Campbell. In his first year as Bookstore Manager, Mr. Campbell revised operations extensively with the goal of providing more efficient service at a lower cost to the student. The major function of the Bookstore is to provide the needed textbooks and supplies to the student, not in com- peting with commercial establishments in selling novelties and other material. New procedures were implemented this year to handle the rush of students at the beginning of each semester. A provision was made for a new system of dis- counts for the faculty and increased consultation with the faculty as well as students was sought. The second aspect of Mr. Campbell's responsibilities con- cerns the Central Office Services, located in Holmes Hall, which provides supplies and office equipment to the faculty. In addition it makes available duplication and printing services to the faculty and students. The office also serves as the university mail service, directing both the flow of U.S. and campus mail. jfgi it 1 'tt' r N Q l :'-'fir' ,H W, ,L .....

1- 3: 1a-Q :- in tn: i 4 1. 11 , Mg, James Hartsook, lVl.A., Bowling Green State Uni- versity . . . Coordinator of Student Activities. Recognition of the need for a well-organized and balanced program of student activities resulted this year in the ap- pointment of a Coordinator of Student Activities. As the new director, James Hartsook served as a resource person from whom any campus organization could seek advice. Spe- cifically, he worked with the Student Senate in such areas as the Concert and Convocations and Student Union Com- missions. The concern of the Coordinator of Student Activi- ties is not with supplanting student authority, but in offering ideas and suggestions based on practical experience in an effort to achieve maximum student satisfaction. Serving as Director of Memorial Center, his primary objective was the creation of an atmosphere within Memorial Center conducive to the students' desires, needs, and moods. Another responsi- bility of the Coordinator of Student Activities, though not directly associated with the students, is serving as the con- ference coordinator for the university. ,am 2--4 f '1 ff'- 'T M' xr-'- Mit 1111 111 .asa- ,., .e,. - ,. . 1, ,-,5.'i2,,:'-gig, :,:v11J11,iQ. - az.

' L,-s. 4-1 rss Ed Fridley . . . Saga Food Service Manager. As manager of the Saga Food Service Company for IWU, Ed Fridley oversees the food service in the Commons and Dug Out, all catering events, and the maintenance of Me- morial Center. The recent creation of the post of Coordinator of Student Activities means that Fridley works in close con- junction with Jim Hartsook on all matters pertaining to food and maintenance which involve student activities. In the year that Saga has served Wesleyan, it has worked towards achieving greater student involvement in the opera- tion of thc food service. Through the Student Union Com- mission, it is hoped that a functioning food committee can be developed to study the problems as well as the complaints associated with the service. A committee of this nature is a reflection of Saga's belief that the company is the students' food service and that it is an integral part of the university.
