BUSINESS MANAGER Philip C. Jennings, as business manager of Teachers College, has a very responsible job. Mis office must keep track of tuition payments, dormitory room rents, and other college fees, as well as the many details of veterans’ tuition. All items of expenditure and income are carefully checked by the staff of mathemat- ical experts employed in the Business office. Trust funds for more than one hundred stu- dent and faculty organizations are handled annually, and all financial enterprises such as publications, the fountain room and food service arc directly responsible to this office. Among the many other duties are the pur- chasing of supplies- accomplished through a system whereby materials are requisitioned. Students as well as faculty and administra- tion employees arc very conscious of Mr. Jennings' capacity as payroll administrator! REGISTRAR Registration days, those immediately fol- lowing. and the day grades come out. find the Registrar's office a beehive of activity. Marshall Beard who is the head of this office is in charge of classification, registration and compilation of credits. Among the records kept by Dr. Beard is the scholastic standing of each student in college. Dr. Beard's office lets the student know where he stands by the publication of his “credit balance sheet when the student is in his junior year. One of the many prob- lems of the staff in the Registrar’s office is making sure that all elusive errors are cor- rected so that the student is assured of grad- uating with the correct number of credits, his requisite grade average, and his correctly recorded certificate. In addition to all of this, the office supplies many records for former Iowa State Teachers College students. Administrators Page 16

 Aclministratori DEAN OF WOMEN DEAN OF MEN Together with her staff and the officers of the Women s League Board. Dean of Wo- men Sadie B. Campbell helps plan and carry out a program which challenges the women students of the campus to take advantage of the opportunities afforded them for social and intellectual growth while they are at Teach- ers College. Miss Campbell takes a special interest in housing for the women students. She and her staff inaugurated a system of counseling by upper-class women to help freshmen wo- men become oriented to dormitory life away from home. Evidence that this plan has been successful is the fact that fewer girls drop out of school because of homesickness or other problems of readjustment. Dean Campbell also takes a lot of interest in the student food service and recreation center, the Commons. All in all. she serves the best interests of the students as indi- viduals and as a group. When a fellow needs a friend. he goes to the Dean of Men's Office, where Gordon Ellis has been counseling men students since February of 1946. In addition, the handling of veterans' problems and all personal rec- ords. men's housing, employment, and ab- sences were among his duties. In spite of this busy schedule. Dean Ellis found time to be the adviser to the Student League, house councils, and social fraternities. Dean Ellis left Teachers College at the end of the fall quarter to accept a position at the University of North Carolina. Chapel Hill. N. C. At the beginning of the winter quarter. Dr. Paul F.

Fuller is the director of the Bureau of Alumni Service which has two purposes: it supplies the new' graduates or the various departments with information about the old graduates, and. also sponsors and directs all the alumni activities both on and off campus.
