Firm Hands Hold University Reins At Home ln Legislative Hearings And Spartan Roundtable Sessions, Administrators Guide Growth Of A Great Educational Institution An administrator manipulates people, seeking ever to guide them properly, striving to facilitate the completion of their projects and ever learning to blend their aims and intentions with the means at hand to produce higher levels of service through in- struction and research. Headed by the State Board of Agriculture and Dr. Iohn A. Hannah, MSU's president through years of war, peace, growth and internal development, the administration has set a pace of continual progress, utilizing present resources and constantly planning for the day when additions must be provided. They are indeed a far-sighted group, living in today and tomorrow at the same moment with a minimum of confusion between the two. The policy makers are one part of the administra- tion. But behind the maelstrom of students and pro- fessors that meet in Michigan State University every day stands the second part of the administration, assuring the mechanical precision of that life. Drops and adds, late registrations resulting from that extra day in Florida over Christmas vacation and the planning and publication of the perennial schedule book come from one full time office crew. Another department meets every freshman in his application for admissionv and helps the transfer get re-started with an evaluation of credits. Letters addressed to Registrar, MSU and requests for cata- logs find a home there, too. Records are made to be kept, and the record vault serves that very function . . . transcripts, that gorilla-like I.D. picttue from freshman year, applications as well as decisions to change the major again . . . all are stored in the basement of the Ad Building against moth, rust and prying fingers. A less invitir1g but more familiar sigr1 describes one function of the Collector's Accounts Division, Traffic Violations Paid Heref, Handling money for MSU requires the services of several separate offices: the Comptroller's office where the actual accounting is done and the payroll is prepared, the Teller's sec- tion for student accounts and organization transfers of funds and the Collectoris Accounts Division. Over 42,000 dictated letters and 24,000 envelopes come from the Berkey Hall basement ofiices of Cen- tral Stenographic, not to mention over 35,000 manu- script pages and cop-ies run off during a year. In Berkey's basement also is the Mimeographing Department for tests, supplementary reading lists and 'aoutlines of the coursef, Without IBM aid, itis dif- ficult to imagine the number of hours that would be spent sorting sorority rushing cards, registration cards and class grade reports. Machines do the work in an ever-increasing push button atmosphere. Another vital link in the administrative chain is the Purchasing Department, supervising the buying, storage and distribution of materials from soup for the dormitory kitchens to rubber bands for a tempo- rary instructor. Foods and Services, handling dorm management, employs more than one sixth of the students on campus, easing the strain on college budgets and handling the preparation and serving of food ef- ficiently. To administrate is to spin the very central parts of the university with ever-increasing efficiency and harmony.. This the MSU administration does, dedicat- ing each guiding hour to dissemination of knowledge to the common man. Behind these doors begin the policies and coordinating tasks which enable the university to run smoothly. 29
