DEAN OF MEN The Dean of Men's office is entrusted with all the complex problems that confront the college man such as housing, food, social life, and extra-curricular activities. Supervising this gigantic task are Deans Zerman and Stead. William S. Zerman, Ohio Wesleyan's energetic and capable Dean of Men, has been working with college men since his graduation from the University of Michigan in 1949. His first iob was that of Field Secretary for Phi Gamma Delta, and then, after gaining some experience in industry, he returned to his alma mater in 1952 to become the Assistant Dean of Men. ln 1956 Dean Zerman came to Ohio Wesleyan University as the Assistant Dean of Men and the following year was appointed Dean. Assisting Dean Zerman is Ronald Stead who graduated from Michigan State. Dean Stead, who came to Ohio Wesleyan in 1957, is highly respected by Wesleyan men for his understanding and expert counseling. Ohio Wesleyan's Men of the hour are Deans Zerman and Stead. .5 -1 DEAN OF WOMEN The Dean of Women's Office is under the supervision of Audrey M. Parker. Miss Parker received her Bachelor of Arts from Occidental College, and her Master of Arts and Doctor of Education degrees from Columbia Teachers Col- lege. Beginning as a public school teacher, Miss Parker later served as the Associate Dean of Students and Social Director at Bethany College and in 1949 came to Ohio Wesleyan as Dean of Women. Her many duties include supervision of dormitory living and eating facilities. She is also the adviser for the Association of Women Students, Student Government, and Panhellenic Council. For many college advisers, counseling organizations is an end in itself, but to Dean Parker it is a means by which the complex problems of a college woman's life are solved. Aiding her in this obiective are the Residence Hall Counselors and sorority housemothers whose close contacts with the women insure a ready and able adviser when problems arise. Dean Parker gives helpful advice to a troubled freshman. T' 4 ' 1,22 L, i t l l l fl ii fi ,l ll

Acting President Burns on whose shoulders fell the responsibility of running Ohio Wesleyan. EUGENE WHITE Dr. Eugene White, Acting Associate Dean of the College, includes among his many duties supervision of the Univer- sity's academic Department Heads, the Librarian, the Regis- trar, and the Director of Evaluation Services. He also assists the academic departments to obtain funds for sponsored research and then administers the funds for approved programs. Dr. White, who is an Associate Professor of English, came to Ohio Wesleyan in i950 and is Vice Chairman of the Faculty ex officio. His performance as Acting Associate Dean during this school year and his record of excellence as a classroom teacher have proven him to be an efficient executive and a respected educator. ln addition to these attributes Dr. White has a personal touch which magnifies his popularity with faculty and students. GEORGE W. BURNS On August 'l, 1958, following Dr. Arthur Flemming's resignation, Dr. George W. Burns left his position as Acting Vice President and Dean of the University and became temporary President of Ohio Wesleyan. Under the direction of Dr. Burns, who was also the chairman of the Botany De- partment, the University was able to move forward on a full time basis rather than mark time during the interim period between presidents. However, few people realize the diffi- culties that confront the top administrator, especially when his policies are regarded as temporary. Ohio Wesleyan was indeed fortunate to have Dr. Burns as her chief executive until Dr. Lockmiller could assume control, for his term was marked by positive action both in the administration of the University and in working with the special committee to select a president. For successfully completing a difficult assign- ment, Dr. Burns has earned the gratitude of students, faculty, and alumni of Ohio Wesleyan University. Dr. White is Acting Dean of the University and respected professor of English.

ADMISSIONS The Admissions Office handles the far-reaching task of student recruitment. Under the capable direction of Fred Pollock, the Admissions Office supervises all stages in the process leading to the actual acceptance of a new student. Members of the staff prepare informative literature concerning the University and process hundreds of applications each year. ln addition to this task, the Office represents Ohio Wesleyan University at both Ohio and National Counseling Association programs and High School College Day Conferences. Perhaps the most interesting iob delegated to the Admissions Office is to act as host for the University. Whenever a visitor arrives, it is the responsibility of the Admissions staff to see that he is taken on a tour of campus, attends classes, meets students and faculty, has a place to stay, and in general, enioys his visit to Ohio Wesleyan. Each year the fine work of the Admissions Office is reflected in the superior caliber of the freshman class. REGISTRAR-DEAN OF STUDENT PERSONNEL The University Registrar and Dean of Student Personnel, Dr. Allan C. Ingraham, is a familiar and popular man on the campus scene. As Registrar, he is in charge of enrolling all students and certifying graduation, credit hours and point averages, a iob which requires both tact and skill. A grad- uate of Tufts, he has been at Ohio Wesleyan since l9-47, and as Registrar he has been instrumental in simplifying the traditionally rigorous registration process into an effi- cient and comparatively uncomplicated system. As Dean of Student Personnel, Mr. lngraham deals with any type of problem that affects campus life. These duties include solv- ing problems which arise between students and faculty, instituting and helping to revise school policy, and supervis- ing such matters as student iobs, parking permits, and chapel cuts. ' In addition to his many duties as Registrar and Dean, Dr. lngraham manages to find time to serve as chairman of the Education Department and to teach several education classes. Director of Admissions Fred Pollock discusses an application with Ad- missions Counselors Craig Willis, Ralph Hoffines, and Dan Butler.
