In addition to providing instruction in data processing, the I.B.M. department processes most of the administrative records for the college. It works with community agencies and firms in processing the results of projects and surveys. It has also prepared statistical studies of the experimental classroom instruction in Project English. During Freshman Orientation Week, the I.B.M. depart- ment played a new role in campus projects. The names of students, along with additional data about each student, were fed into the 1620 computer to select suitable partners for the weekend dance. The I.B.M. department employs three local men for evening instruction: Leonard Iaria, manager in data pro- cessing for P.

Devotion, efficiency, and understanding typify those em- ployed in the White House. The secretaries proceed with their assignments in a devoted manner; the records office clerks operate the complex machinery for keeping transcripts of our grades; and the counseling staff will test us to find our aptitudes, listen to our problems and give advice.

Development and Public Relations is a new area of en- deavor on the campus. With the rapid growth of the Col- lege — larger enrollment in day and evening classes, three new buildings this year — it became evident that a plan must be evolved which would meet the present and long range plans of the school. To head up the new department, Stanton W. Todd, a Michigan businessman with experience at Berea College, Kentucky, and Michigan State University, was selected. Miss Ruth D. Barker, a native of Maryland, was named di- rector of publications, and Miss Ruth E. Gosnell of York continued as college publicist. Mrs. William H. Stauffer, who has been with the Col- lege for four years, serves as secretary to Mr. Todd and helps with publications work. Mrs. |ohn E. Hess, long time employee of the College, assists in all phases of activity. Current projects of the department include an endow- ment fund drive so the junior college can become a four year institution, increased service to the community, im- provement of publications, and continued study of the fu- ture structure and role of the College.
