The President President Milo Bail and President Emeritus Rowland Haynes discuss the 1959 graduation ceremony. Just as mighty oaks from tiny acorns grow, mighty universities from tiny colleges grow. Under President Milo Bail ' s leadership for the past twelve years, Omaha University has shown significant growth and development in enrollment, in academic offerings, and in the caliber of the faculty which he has appointed. Growth in facilities includes the huge Field- house and stadium, a new music annex, the Gene Eppley Library and Adult Education Con- ference Center, the Applied Arts Classroom Building, and the Student Activities Building. Other marks of progress include the Air Force ROTC unit, the organization of two new col- leges, Education and Business Administration. President Bail supervises administrative policy, makes appointments, interprets rules and, in general, keeps the wheels of the University well-oiled and running smoothly. The president is currently a member of the Executive Com- mittee of the National Commission on Accred- iting, the Board of Trustees of Joslyn Society of Liberal Arts, past president of Rotary and a member of its Board of Directors and this year was honored by being coroneted a 33rd degree Mason.

Administrative Committees The Student Activities Council di- vided into four units this year for a more workable relationship and super- vision of the student program. The Social Clubs and Special Activities committee, headed by Dean Mac- Gregor, strives to keep a balance among social life, athletic programs, publications and academic interest groups on campus. The Athletics com- mittee under Mr. Trickett, serves the President as an advisory committee on athletic and related student activities. It recommends grants-in-aid, reviews athletic schedules and votes on persons recommended for letters and awards. Mr. Peterson is the man in charge of student pubhcations. Policy decisions, appointment of editors and approval of printing contracts, decided by the Stu- dent Publications Board, are carried out by the director.
