DEAN E. McCLUNG FLEMING As Dean of the College, Dr. Fleming is responsible for the academic life of the campus. He is constantly seeking new ways whereby the students’ curriculum may be improved and be more beneficial to them in fulfilling their needs. He is never too busy to give a slice” of his time to any who desire it, as cooperation and understanding help between students, faculty and administration are some of his goals. He and his family are an Important and vital part of the Park Community. Mickey and Danny have both appeared in College stage productions, and B. C. probably will follow suit! Nearly everyone enrolled has received his introductory literature about Park College from Mr. David. As Director of Public Relations and Assistant to the President, he makes contacts with prospective students and carries on a vigorous and successful program. He has, in addition, served very helpfully as advisor of the Narva for the past two years. If you’ve ever tried to find him free, you know what a busy man Mr. Stanton is. When he came to the college in July, 1951, he served first as Purchasing Agent, and since July, 1952, he has also held the posi¬ tion of Business Manager, both large responsibilities. We are glad to claim him as a member of our staff, and hope you’ll get acquainted with him, Mrs. Stanton, Billy and Linda.

We are all very proud of our Dean of Women, Miss Chalcea White, who, for 2 years has been carrying out her role as counselor and friend here at Park. Among her other duties are Health Center Coordinator, Supervisor of housing, advisor to the WJC and Women’s Legislative Council, sponsor of the OAC’s and Vocational Guidance Program. Her office in the Student Personnel Office is always open to students, and her interest in every phase of her work makes her a true friend of all. Always ready with a winning smile and a helping hand is Dr. Richard Comfort, Dean of Religious Life. Besides the many duties involved in the planning of Chapel programs, he served as ad¬ visor to the Board of Elders of the Student Church, Student Christian Association, and Church Vocations Commission. He also acts as chief consultant for all students desiring to discuss religious problems. His patience, faith, and fortitude are what keep our religious program the vital and dynamic program that it is. One of the busiest men on campus is our Dean of Men, William B. Dunseth, who also serves as president of the Alumni Associa¬ tion (he graduated in 1942 from Park), and Lieutenant Com¬ mander in the Olathe Naval unit. His ability to see both sides of a question and his genuine interest in student affairs make him well suited for his jobs, which keep him busy trying to account for a few thousand alumni and fewer but more trouble¬ some enrolled male students!
