A MINISTR TIO OFFICE The Administration Office has charge of many duties necessary to the efficient running of a large university. The work of this office includes admissions, freshman registration, high school visitation days, commencement details, traffic problems, disciplinary problems, adminstration of the junior college and general division, custodian of ROTC property, administration of the information office, police service, print- ing and mineographing and many other functions connected with administration. One of the biggest jobs of this office has been admissions. Freshman registration, conferences and scheduling of classes took many weeks of work. This was a job Dr. Carter as Dean of Administration did so well. lie enjoyed the students and was a kind and helpful adviser. Mr. Arvid T. Johnson and Miss Gertrude lfopkins, assis- tants to the Dean of Administration, have taken over part of the work Dean Carter did. Many of their projects are time consuming jobs that are essential, yet often go unnoticed. Scheduling of classroom assignments, arranging the order for academic processions, calculating and making percentages of the scholastic record of each student-these are some of the background administrative jobs that this office handles so well.
