fit xc» nm’ To Make A University Carlson, chancellor of the University ' s exchequer. ev Away from the classroom, the desk, and the lecture platform, are the countless people, removed from the purely academic level, who help to make and carry out the policies of the University. For vast and complex mechanics are required so that all phases of University life may function smoothly. The work of the people behind the scenes may consist of formulating a new field of study, handl¬ ing publicity and finances, or counseling students about many different problems. Or it may be work which carries out the policies which other people make — tabulating records in the registrar’s office, cooking meals in the Student Union grille, or shoveling snow off the sidewalks. Every time a student eats lunch, or buys a magazine at the information desk, or checks out a book from the library, he can do so only because of the work of numerous administrators and University employees, who affect his life both on and off the campus.
