New Offices, Larger Staff Aid Admissions Program Both staff and office facilities of the Office of Admissions have greatly expanded this year. Dr. William Gramenz came to Macalester to take the position of Director of Admissions. George Scotton, Assistant Director, is primarily responsible for introducing the College to prospective students. Mrs. Irma Gowans serves as Administrative Assistant. Two new men working with personal contacts outside the campus are Wallace Berglund, working in Minnesota and fringe states and Donald Hober in Chicago. With the establishment of the Chicago admissions center, prospective students in the Great Lakes and eastern part of the country can be contacted with greater ease. This is in line with plans to expand the area of Mac's influence.

Relaxed Summer Session Adds Academic Emphasis Added emphasis is being placed on the academic courses for the upcoming Summer Session. The 1962 term features classes in four different languages. The Speech Department adds a dramatic touch with the production of four plays. Also, the National Science Foundation and the Coe Foundation offer programs for high school teachers. A primary reason for the popularity of this program, besides its accent on academic subjects, is that it enables the ambitious student to complete his college career in three years instead of the usual four. Many graduate students attend to take re- fresher courses or work toward higher degrees. The enrollment maintains a high level at around 500 students. A program with the proposed list of the yearis courses was distributed in February and students were polled about addi- tional courses they would like to see olfered. Director of the Summer Session program is Dr. Arnold Holtz, He is responsible for the scheduling of classes, co- ordinating activities, and he also teaches an introductory course in philosophy.

Night Owl Scholars Attend Final Evening College Term Evening College, under the direction of Dr. Richard Dierenlield, has completed c A its final year of serving the Twin City A community as a source of supplemental education. The demise of the program comes about as part of the emphasis on liberal arts at Mac. This limits the time and teaching talents that can be devoted to extra college offerings. During the two semesters of work offered each year, classes were held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday eve- nings. Scholars who wished to earn credits toward a degree, desired professional training, or who simply enjoyed the pur- suit of knowledge were admitted. Two types of courses were available: those which students could either take for credit or audit, and non-credit classes in which a mark but no college advancement was awarded. Fields covered include languages, sci- ences, humanities, philosophy, education, and the line arts. Mac profs did the teach- ing honors as the nightowl collegiates attended the last of the evening classes. Would-be yachtsman Dr. Richard Dierenfield, Evening College Director. 26
