IN MEM ORIAM CLARE CE The Arkansas State Teachers College suffered a great loss in the past year through the death of Clar- ence S. Williams. Mr. Williams was professor and acting head of the Department of Geography when he died in his sleep Iune 26, 1964. A native of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, Mr. Williams made his home in Arkansas following combat air force service in Europe in World War II. He was president S. WILLIAMS of the Higher Education Division of the Arkansas Edu- cation Association. He had also planned a textbook for the geography of Arkansas. In his eleven years at ASTC, Mr. Williams had been a friend and kindly advisor to many students. He had worked with students as sponsor of the Student Senate and Phi Sigma Epsilon as well as in individual contacts. We honor his memory.

One ofi 'A is its fine faculty, Administration and students.LfEach- college in the nation canmake this-same boast, but one thing ASTC has thatlnfiany colleges do not have is co-opera- tion between tL- n these, three major .parts,y,of i,t, y the college. In this, the,gg5Qt1j,5edition.pf the Sdro1t,'twg55gire attempt- ing to show these three, t--M rn of 'ASTCA function togetlieri i f In the handsfof the administrationlies' the responsi- bility of executing the various-policies,ofthe collegeg academic, financial, A- social,-if and public. relations.. It is this groupgthat iprovides'1the'work'f '-,l leadership necessary to uphold the standards Ofitlieff school. The administration. is 'in charge of 'keepingfithe official records of the college, of making all 'purchases and disbursements, and of carrying outithef. instructional 1' 2 inistration practices and curricula policies. The mechanical system of IBM machines aids this group in their efficient work. Registration has been made less tiring and time consuming since these machines have been a part of the administration's equipment. All records are now easier to keep more efficiently. In February of 1963 the administration moved into the new Ad Building. This building has enabled the administration to perform on a very efficient level. The building offers many new and interesting fea- tures: private counciling rooms, a test center, a new and more efficient business office, and a staff lounge. Dr. A. E. Burdick and Mrs. Olive Ferguson have found the staff lounge a good place to rest and drink a cup of coffee after a full mornings work.
