WILLIAM DUNSETH Vice-Presidenf WILLIAM M. STANTON Business Manager vice-president Traditionally the job of a vice-president is one of drawing a salary and waiting for the president to leave. In Mr Dunseth ' s case this is far from true. His job, in directing the over-all Public Relations and Develop¬ ment Programs of the College, is a dynamic one. Much of the work which will determine the future of Park College is in his hands. Having graduated from Park in 1942, Mr Dunseth is not only interested in the administrative activities of the college, but for several years he has guided the Par- chie basketball team to victory. His and his family ' s yearly offer of a steak dinner and evening ' s fun at the WUS has come to be a much sought after prize. business manager Among the important duties of Mr Stanton, the col¬ lege business manager, are the handling of trust funds, endowments, investments in real estate and stocks, hiring of college employees and control of college funds. In addition to this, Mr. Stanton supervises the business office which does everything from handling supplies to taking care of loans and insurance. To do this, the of¬ fice maintains a staff of three full-time workers and several students. Responsible directly to the Board of Trustees, Mr Stanton has been greatly concerned with the remodel¬ ing and decorating of Commons, initial actions taken for two new dormitories and the handling of the Ches- nut fire. 28 —
