At present 52 faculty members, which is less than ten percent of all UNI faculty, must teach four to five thousand students. Even while serving this vast number of students who arc trying to obtain business courses, the School of Business is constantly recruiting. The school is preparing for review by the American Assem- bly of Collegiate Schools of Business in hopes of accreditation. Organized within the UNI School of Business are the de- partments of accounting, business education and administra- tive management, management, and marketing.

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.

Accounting Graduates Successful In CPA Exam The performance of past graduates has awarded the UNI Accounting Department with an excellent reputation. Fifty-six percent of May 1981 graduates succeeded in passing the Certi- fied Public Accountants Examination the first time, as com- pared to the eight to ten percent success rate in the nation as a whole. Dr. Gaylon Halverson. Department Head, speculates the 1982 accounting class holds the potential to perform just as exceptionally as the 1981 class. Prospects for accounting majors remain high. Accountants are employed in private businesses, government accounting, public accounting, or teaching. Job opportunities also exist in the field of management. From Row: Jon N’orcm.
