The members of the administration closest to the student are the deans. They have a large share in contributing to the happi- ness or unhappiness of a student's college career. Deans Frances Burdette and Fred Clark are the coordinating elements be- tween students and their problems. Their vivid interest in the past in the success of such purely student ventures as May Day, the functions of the Student Council, Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council and the projected Student Union have demonstrated that they well under- stand the problems of Northern. Mr. Fred R. Clark has served as Dean of Men at Ohio Northern since 1951 He also is the advisor to the Interfraternity Council and is an administrative member of the Student Union Committee. Dean Clark had a similar position as Dean of Students at Upper Iowa University before coming to Northern THE DEANS: COORDINATORS sn- iviv, 1 M, T Q Mrs. Frances L. Burdette joined the administrative staff as Dean of Women this past fall.

At the top is the president, with the Dean of the University below him, under whom are the Deans of the four un- dergraduate colleges. The Vice President, Busi- ness Manager and Registrar each coordinate their efforts in their particular Fields: public and alumni relations, finance and records. The deans of men, women and freshmen men handle the problems immediately associated with student conduct and problems. Other members of the dministrative body are the Director of Admis- 'ions and the head of the university library. Dr. James A. Woofter and Mrs. A. F. Seitz direct the extensive work of the office of the registrar. Here the records of every student are kept in transcript with all credit work being closely tabulated towards meeting graduation requirements. fi 0 0 0 As Treasurer and Business Manager of the university, Mr. Kenneth F. Martin has directed the outlay of appropria- tions in the half-million dollar re- vamping and building program during the past two years.
