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.

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.

Each student has his own particular problem which needs a particular answer. Counselors attempt to help students find that answer. A 'lf Mrs. Martha Baxter holds down the front desk as secretary to the six ff counselors. Due to the doubling of the expected fall enrollment for the l W first classes, Mrs. Baxter's position has grown out of a one-woman job, and occasionally she requires an assistant to help her keep up.
