After approximately eight years' ex- perience in education, Drf Speegle was elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universi- ties. One of several athletic events sche- duled between faculty and students was the football game September 29 in which Dr. Speegle, right, helped the faculty to a 37-7 win. The two groups also met for bas- ketball and volleyball throughout the year. Mrs. Peggy Dudder, secretary to dean of student services, kept records of all parking stickers and violations, discipline cases, and absence reports in addition to act- ing as receptionist and secretary.

Smith, dean of instruction, takes pride in creating an agreeable campus atmosphere among faculty members. He enjoys his task of recruiting and evalu- ating instructors. He feels strongly about providing the best education possible. He plans, organizes, supervises, and ad- ministers the institutional program of all col- lege credit courses. Thirteen new instruction- al innovation programs show the determina- tion of the dean of instruction and his division chairmen to make available the most modern and practical educations. Responsible for master teaching and ex- amination schedules, he assigns 148 teachers to the 100 classrooms on campus. After graduating with a double major in English and music, he taught public schools and Panola Junior College for fifteen years. His love for music and English seems to be exceeded only by his love for pets. He has raised five Persian cats and a farm full of Border Collies. Raising cats and dogs together must surely be a good foundation for a dean of instruc- tion. ,wg-,f Sas - ' ., . 4 la .Z ,,,.1-sd 25

North Texas State University yt... v- -4' ,- r . l Speegle Moves At Rapid Pace Having traveled 22,646 miles this school year completing 18 school trips, Dr. Phillip Speegle is a leading contender for the title of fastest dean in the West, ln the starting line-up for most of the facul- ty-student intramural games, he uses his swiftness to overwhelm student athletes. A few transgressors suspect him of breaking the sound barrier when infractions become serious, and students in distress find that he also arrives to provide aid soon after catas- trophes strike. The dean has moved rapidly in establishing disciplinary policies, as well as building a full program of student activities. ln attempt- ing to solve one of his biggest problems - dropouts - he is making a study of every student who failed to return for the spring semester. l-le plans to make improvements in student services when his analysis is com- pletely evaluated. As another example of his speed, his staff began full time action before any of their offices were complete, and the rapid develop- ment of the program is further display of his jet propulsion. ln one semester, he directed the organization of student activities, financial aids, counseling, student publications, and health services. When labor strikes delayed completion of some campus buildings, all of his staff oper- ated in temporary offices ranging from closet- like enclosures, table and chairs on the SUB patio, to almost any place a telephone was handy. A typical view of his speedy move- ments pictured Dr. Speegle with secretary Mrs. Peggy Dudder, double-stepping behind him, pencil and pad in hand, as he dictated a letter on-the-run, while simultaneously con- ferring with Activities Director Cliff Wood, as they hurried to another meeting.
