24 Dean of Administration Academic standards, class schedules and attendance rec- ords are issued from the office of the Dean of Administra- tion. The duties to be carried out by the office are under the leadership of Dean Garland D. Kyle, who has been a member of the A.M. N. College family for a number of ‘y DR. GARLAND D. KYLE years and has endured each year with outstanding ability. The administrator must aid students who may become frustrated dealing with the technical and more complex living and competition in college life; therefore the head of this office must have some knowledge of human be- havior in order to aid students. One such person is Dr. Kyle who has excelled with above average ability. The personality of the administrator plays an impor- ant part in linking the communication gap between stu- dents and faculty, therefore practical knowledge is a must.

Dr. Greenhouse and her staff work increasingly with student recruitment, stu- dent guidance, and follow up. One of the outstanding fea- tures of the Department has been the curriculum expansion which has kept pace with changin g needs in the area of Home Economics. The Home Economics Department, because of the con- demnation of its building, is temporarily housed in the Agricultural Building, the Forum Room in the Lawrence A. Davis Student Union and in cottage number one on faculty row. Despite its present limited facilities, the department con- tinues its sound method of training students for their roles in various vocations. The department looks to the future with the hope that soon its faculty can be expanded, ade- quate facilities will be constructed and an enriched pro- gram for the expansion of the nursery school, curriculum in foods and nutrition and a broad program in family rela- tions and child development. The department plans to put increased emphasis on Institutional Dietetics as soon as facilities will permit. The department with its many projec- tions for the future will continue to attract quality students and prepare them for the opportunities that await them in the future where they can serve a worldwide community.
