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.

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.

John King . . . Director of Security Department. Officer King and the Security Department personnel, num- bering two full-time officers, and one part-time officer, are a constant, reassuring reminder that Illinois Wesleyan is not unprotected. Striving to maintain a sense of order and peace within the university, flfficer King views his main objectives as protecting University property from vandalism and safe- guarding the individual rights of the students. While it is his conviction that he has the overall cooperation of the student body and that the need for security is relatively low, the fact remains that there has been a gradual increase each year in the number of cases referred to them. At one time, the Se- curity Department was merely a preventive influence, but today Officer King acknowledges a marked increase in the need for the Security Department. Nevertheless, under the direction of the Security Department, IWU maintains a rela- tively peaceful, calm atmosphere. HEALTH SERVICE few f-t.d..azaf:' X 21- l'i fW 2if.ii53??'ii 32, ls . Velma Arnold, R.N., Ruth Miller, R.N .... Health Service The Health Service, begun in 194-2 by Miss Velma Arnold, R.N., has rendered a valuable service for twenty-seven years. Located in the west suite on the ground floor of Magill Hall, the Health Service assists the student in any way possible al- though it is limited by the fact that it does not diagnose ill- nesses. However, should an emergency arise it is in a position to suggest a professional health clinic for the actual treatment. For the past eight years Miss Arnold has had an assistant in the office to help ease the burden produced by the responsibilities of running the Health Service. Mrs. Miller, R.N., has been an invaluable help in the office. Together they have upheld the high standards exacted by the health professions and through their concern for the health and well-being of the IWU students, they have developed the ser- vice into a greatly appreciated aid. All in all, one must admit, they have given the university more than just aspirin.
