President Newton president newton makes policy recommendations to board of regents In a large corner office in Macky Auditorium, sits Ouigg New- ton, President of the University of Colorado. As chief executive of the University, the President carries a heavy burden of respon- sibilities. Under the authority of the Regents he has supervision of all departments and affairs of the University. He is an ex officio member and Chairman of the University Senate. It is his duty to make policy recommendations to the Board of Regents and then to see that the policies are executed. He must deal with many publics-, including students, faculty, alumni, and the citizens of Colorado. He must make difficult decisions in the best interest of the Univer- sity as a whole, often with the knowledge that his actions will dis- please interested parties or factions. The main objective of the University, Mr. Newton feels, is to become the greatest center of learning, advanced study and research in the Rocky Mountain West. He also believes that the principal obligation of the University to its students is to assist them in every way possible to develop themselves spiritually, morally and intel- lectually to the fullest extent of their capabilities, in preparation for assuming responsibilities in one of the most exciting and de- manding periods in the history of mankind.
