A co-ed military induction line? No . . . but the familiar motto ' hurry up and wait applies here in the case of the aftermath of registration. These lines mark the ironing out period which precludes the beginning of each new term. Several days pass before the problems and dissatisfactions of some 3,000 students are solved. Some people have course conflicts, courses they did not sign up for, while others have changed their mind and decided to add or drop courses, and still others find the class meeting time in conflict with outside job responsibilities. Whatever the case, we sympathize with those of you who were once a part of the lineup. All we can say is the computer did it again! 17

Administration John H. Dunn Acting Dean of Faculty The future of our college is bright and substantial. Our present programs and policies have proven to be most successful. Our faculty is oustanding and is constantly endeavoring to improve their teaching by engaging themselves in professional development through advanced studies and related activities. Together, the faculty, students, and ad- ministration have provided a solid foundation upon which the future of STCC will be built. John J. Fortsch, Jr. Dean of Administration As Dean of Administration, it is my function to attempt to satisfy over three thousand people in regard to their many and varied requests related to the administration of allocated funds, facilities, supplies and maintenance. My response to those requests are and must be pre-determined, often arbitrarily, by a system of priorities in accordance with the budgetary allowance. I view the future of STCC as one of unlimited growth. My optimism is based on the building program, the continuously improving facilities, the steady growth of enrollment, the cooperativeness of the faculty and the interest and drive of our students. Paul W. Berwick Dean of Students The Dean of Students has overall responsibility for admissions, placement, counseling, student activities, and, unfortunately, discipline. I have to congratulate the student body, however, since they have been so good that very few disciplinary cases ever come to my attention. The success of the office of the Dean of Students is due in large measure to the very capable assistance of William Manzi, Assistant Dean of Students, who oversees student activities and athletics; Col. Bruce Zumwalt, Director of Placement; Don Avery, Director of Admissions, Bay Zoeller, Transfer Counselor; and Leonard Lockley, who is acting as a special counselor to veterans. 19
