RAMOS Vice President of Fiseal Affairs and Comptroller It is a unique responsibility to the officers of Fiscal and Business Affairs to be placed in a position of account- ability for the effective fiscal management of Arkansas A. M. N. College. The Office of the Vice President of Fiscal Affairs and Comptroller is headed by Mr. Joseph A. Ramos. Mr. Ramos has served the college with diligence and concern during the time since he assumed the responsi- bility of the office. Recognizing that the institution is operated for the benefit of the educational program and not for the sake of the business management, there shall be times when the need to satisfy educational service must prevail over other predetermined priorities. The chief fiscal officer and the business manager shall be persons who have had comprehensive training in the major areas of business administration, with particular emphasis on accounting and business principles. It is expected that they have earned a college degree and possible graduate work or specialized study in a university school of business. While the MBA degree or a CPA certificate are not re- quired, it would seem highly desirable to have them. Sy : o Se apes boat ne Ra eta ond east i chase earth ote DME CED or Spa ea

Bi hat DR. GARLAND D. KYLE Dean of Administration Class schedules, academic standards and attendance re- cords are issued from the office of the Dean of Administra- tion. This work is skillfully directed and organized by Dean Garland D. Kyle, who has been with the A. M. N. College faculty and administration staff for many years. Through his efforts and those of his staff the maximum of service from the office of the Dean of Administration is the A. M. N. College student body. The office of the Dean of Administration in addition to handling class schedules, formulating academic standards and issuing attendance records, must delve into and in many instances successfully solve the myriad of technical problems with which the student body is confronted. For such reasons it requires an individual that has had varied knowledge of human personalities and is able to cope with the many ob- stacles that the average college student faces. Dean Kyle has shown himself especially able in this area and has handled such difficulties in an exceptionally effective manner. Capability and experience are necessary assets for handling such an office as Dean of Administration; how- ever it must be kept in mind, that congeniality of character is necessary for promoting good relationships between stu- dents and faculty.
