They ake the decisions With a university this size. the presi- dent obviously is not able to run every department himself, nor can he be closely involved in the day-to-day oper- ations ofthe various departments.

Ayo is an Alcee Fortier professor of plant science and was dean of the col- lege of life sciences and technology before being named vice president. Three other vice presidents supervise different areas of the campus. Dr. O. E. Lovell is vice president of academic affairs, Maurice Charitat of business affairs and Dr. G. G. Varvaro of student affairs. Bonnie Bourg, previously dean of women. became assistant vice presi- dent of student affairs on Iuly 1. . nys - ,.-v W - -- . f q.rEW14f x'.tyZ5?',V,!Qv ,,, ,, E ..
