Administration There is no typical day for the President of UNI, said Dr. John Kamcrick. However, there arc certain activities which recur regularly, like the monthly Board of Regents meeting, the scheduled committee meetings, and the Wednesday after- noon student appointments. Any of a great variety of activities can fill a ‘normal’ day. According to Dr. Kamcrick, the 1981-82 school year has been a good one for UNI. but it’s been a year of unccrtainitics too. Our North Central Association accreditation report turned out well, our faculty reached a new high in terminally qualified faculty members, and we continued to make progress toward becoming a good multi-purpose university,” said Ka- merick. On the negative side, it must be said that we have operated with a reduced budget because of reduced state income, and we have encountered increasing unccrtainity about the availability of student aid in future years.” President Kamcrick reminds this year’s students that “the value of higher education to the individual should never be measured by economic criteria . UNI's administrator offices arc located in Gilchrist Hall. Dr. John Kamerick, President i Or. James G. Martin, Vice President and Provost As Vice President and Provost, Dr. James G. Martin is primarily responsi- ble for providing the students with an education. Dr. Martin's duties include filling faculty positions, planning the education programs and setting up classes. Martin sees his principle task as hiring faculty members, and according to him, the quality of the faculty de- termines the quality of education stu- dents receive . 10 Academics

Dr. John Kamerick appears in full dress for commencement exercises. Dr. Thomas Hanvmcicr, Vice President for Educational and Student Services What Dr. Thomas Hansmcicr’s du- ties don’t include would be easier to describe than the many tasks he must oversee as Vice President for Educa- tional and Student Services. Dr. Hans- mcicr is in charge of nine different ad- ministrative units, including the Resi- dent Hall System, Maucker Union, and Counseling Placement and Career Ser- vices. Hansmcicr’s ideas for next year include establishing more forms of rec- ognition for academic achievement, such as having a “Super Dean’s List for 3.8 grade points and above, giving certificates for students who get a four point grade report, and awarding a traveling trophy for the dorm house with the best grade point average. Dr. Robert Stansbury, Vice President for Administrative Services ‘The man behind the scenes’ is how to describe Dr. Robert D. Stansbury, Vice President for Administrative Services. Dr. Stansbury’s responsibilities include Intercollegiate Athletics, budgeting for UNI, Business Office Operations, Grants and Contracts, Security and Plant Services, and Personnel Oper- ations. Next year Stansbury will be working on getting computers to the major of- fices on campus so they can have direct access to the main computers to elimi- nate delays in decision making and pa- perwork. Stansbury is interested “in continu- ing to make Administrative Services as efficient as possible”. Dr Edward Voldseth. Special Assistant to the President for State Relations and Special Events Dr. Edward Voldseth spends most of his time off campus working as a lobby- ist for UNI during state legislative ses- sions. On even numbered years such as last fall, Voldseth spends his time on the road meeting and visiting with candi- dates for the legislature across the state to keep them better informed of higher education needs.
