Approved Administrative Organization
Outlines Aspects Of University Life
University Park, Pa., Sept. 20
A simplified, stream-lined
administrative organization for
The Pennsylvania State
University has been approved by
the Board of Trustees on the
recommendation of President
John W. Oswald.
Under the new structure, which
becomes effective today, three
senior administrative officers
will supervise the three major
functions of University life—
academic affairs, University
development and relations, and
finance and operations.
Appropriate subdivisions will
be grouped under the three of
ficers, who will report directly to
President Oswald.
The new offices are :
University Provost and Vice
President for Academic Affairs,
to be filled by Dr. Paul M.
Aithouse, now vice president for
academic affairs.
Senior Vice President for
Finance and Operations, to be
filled by Robert A. Patterson,
now vice president for finance.
Active recruitment to fill the
position of Senior Vice President
for University Development and
Relations is now underway.
Also established was an ad
ministrative • policy committee,
the membership of which will
include President Oswald, the
three new officers, and the
chairman of the Council of
Academic Deans of - the
University. This post is now held
by Dr. Russell E. Larson, dean of
the College of Agriculture.
The new organization sub
stantially reduces the number of
individuals reporting directly to
President Oswald formally
almost 20 separate officers
reported to him. An additional
individual reporting to the Office
of the President will be the
Provost (formerly director) of
the Milton S. Hershey Medical
Center and dean of the College of
Medicine, Dr. George T. Harrell.
Other new positions established
include a Vice President for
Administrative Services, a Dean
of Academic Instruction for- the
Commonwealth Campuses, and a
Provost (chief administrative
officer) of the Capitol Campus.

Liberty Plaza and 917 State,
Dr. Richard E. Grubb, new
special assistant to the President,
was named vice president for
administrative services. Active
recruitment to fill the other two
positions is underway.
In commenting on the three
appointments, President Oswald
said he considered the University
"to be fortunate to have on the
staff these outstanding in
dividuals who are intimately
familiar with the work of the
University."
Dr. Oswald had reported on
preliminary plans for the
reorganization at earlier Board
of Trustee meetings, and final
action was taken by the Board on
Friday.
In his presentation to the
Board, Dr. Oswald said the new
organization "was designed to
meet as effectively and as ef
ficiently as possible the very
serious problems which plague
most institutions of higher
education, including our own
University."
Guidelines for the
reorganization included:
"a. Clear-cut definition of
functions and areas of respon
sibility;
"b. Assignment of these
responsibilities to senior officers
of unquestioned competence;
"c. Maximum delegation of
authority to carry out such
responsibilities; and
"d. High priority assignment
by these senior officers to
matters of effective internal
organization within the
respective three areas of major
functions."
The three major functions
identified in the reorganization
include:
University Academic Affairs,
headed by the provost and vice
president for academic affairs
(Dr. Althouse), who has
responsibility for the
management and operation of the
educational program at all levels
including instruction, research,
and continuing education at all
locations.
Among the academic officers
reporting to the provost of the
University will be the provost of
the Capitol Campus, the dean of
the Graduate School, the
academic deans for Colleges at
University Park, and the dean of
academic instruction for the
Commonwealth Campuses, to be
named.
University Development and
Relations, headed by the senior
vice president for University
Development and Relations.
This delegation of authority in
cludes "The development of the
necessary support and un
derstanding for the University
among all its constituents, and
Behrend Collegian
the pteparation of the University
for needed change, both im
mediate and longer range. .
.while it remains fully ac
countable for its present sup
port."
Finance and Operations,
headed by Mr. Patterson the
senior vice president for finance
and operations. Mr. Patterson is
responsible for the
"management and control of the
financial and physical resources
of the University, both for
operating and capital purposes,
in order to operate a sound
educational program effectively
with the resources available."
Commonwealth Campus
Administration: Pending final
decision on the organization of
the Commonwealth Campuses
within the University, the
directors of the Campuses will, as
at present, report to the vice
president for Commonwealth
Campuses for administrative and
development matters and for
general policy coordination. The
new dean of academic instruction
for the Commonwealth Campuses
will be concerned with in
structional planning, im
plementation and evaluation. He
will also coordinate the academic
colleges at University Park, the
development of greater in
dividuality among campuses,
and act as academic liaison
among Campuses.
Campus directors will be
responsible to the dean of
academic instruction for the
academic programs of the
Campuses. He in turn will be
responsible to the proyost of the
University in the same manner
as other academic dean§ l and will
serve as a full mem4 of the
Council of Academic Deans. He
will work in close liaison with the
vice president for Com
monwealth Campuses.
The next step in the
reorganization will probably lead
to a combination of the functions
of the, two offices into an office
such as Chancellor for the
Campuses.
Radio Club Hams
Plan Improvements
The Amateur Radio Club of
Behrend Campus held its first
meeting on Tuesday September
28 during Common Hour. There is
a possibility of losing its meeting
place in the Studio and they may
have to find another place to
carry on communications. When
the place is determined, they will
be putting up antennas to make it
possible to reach foreign coun
tries. They hope to have two
stations operating
simultaneously.
The club is basically for people
interested in this hobby and in
experimenting with ham radio. If
enough are interested, the club
may enter contests in which clubs
compete to see who can talk with
the most countries in a given
period of time, such as a
weekend.
On this campus there are four
classes; novice, general, ad
vanced, and extra class. Of these
Lour there are three in the ad
vanced class including the acting
president Rick Saeger, (4th, pig.

"Joe", the S.U.B. . Movie of the Week, portrays the

"Joe"
Weekend
Joe Curran, a homeowner,
bowler and World War II veteran
earns $l6O a week and Bill
Compton (Dennis Patrick)
portrays a $60,000-a -year ad
vertising executive. Despite
their contrasting degrees of
sophistication, they are drawn
together by a common distrust
and envy of youth. When Bill's
daughter, Melissa (Susan
Sarandon), becomes entangled in
an East Village environment of
drugs, Bill and Joe lash back with
a vengenance that is a timely and
stunning commentary on the
consequences of radical violence
in America.
People may credit the makers
of "Joe" for having made a
prophetic film. Norman Wexler
wrote his original screenplay
nearly two years ago, intending
only to create a fantasy which
dealt with the ramifications of
the generation and political gaps
that trouble our country.
When the Wall Street alter
cations of the Spring of 1970
began between youths and
Construction workers nearly six
months after the completion of
filming "Joe" the cast and crew
were perhaps the most shocked of
all, though less surprised than the
average man on the street.
