The maintenance and safety of all campus facili- ties is under the direction of Mr. John A. Golds- worth. Since Western has been developing physically at such a tremendous rate, Mr. Golds- worth has had many important responsibilities as supervisor of the construction of all new buildings. Mr. Goldsworth will be retiring in June after many yeai ' s of fine service to Western Michigan University. Western Michigan University maintains its own police force in the form of the Campus Safety and Security Force. The men that make up this organi- zation are continuously on the alert for the welfare of the students.

Dr. Jean E. Lowrie President of the Faculty Senate Dr. Samuel Clark Director of the Honors College Dr. Jean E. Lowrie, Head of the Department of Librarianship, went to Washington D.C. in Jan- uary to represent the American Association of School Librarians at the Commission on Civil Rights ' hearing. Dr. Lowrie was also elected President of the Faculty Senate this year. The faculty promotes the common interests of the faculty and gives the faculty a share in the deter- mination of institutional policy in such areas as the academic program, field services and student services. The ultimate objective of the Honors College, directed by Dr. Samuel Clark, is the cultivation of young men and women who will excel in all dimensions of human excellence. While the pri- mary emphasis of the program is on intellectual excellence, in keeping with the principal purpose of higher education, the program recognizes the interdependence of character, sensitivity and intel- ligence and appreciates that only in the presence of all these qualities is each of them fully realized. To help promote and maintain the health of stu- dents is the main purpose of Western ' s Hospital — The Health Center. The Health Service cooperates with the academic and administrative departments regarding the problems of the individual student, as well as the welfare of the whole student group. Dr. Richard Proos was named Director of Student Health Services recently to succeed the late Dr. Edward H. Zwergel. Dr. Richard Proos Director of Student Health Services 28
