That structure is divided into three areas: administration and finance, academic affairs, and students. Heading up the three areas are the University’s vice presidents, Ray Hawk, Harry Alpert and Gerald Bogen. Administration and Finance Much of Hawk’s time as Vice President for Administration and Finance is taken up with money 1 matters. He is the person responsible for outlining where money to run the University will come from (through the Business Office) and where the money will ) go to (through the Budget Of \ fice). I Hawk also handles the ad ministrative organization of the University. Academic Affairs Alpert defines his job as Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost as being the “academic conscience” of the University. “I’ve got to keep reminding people that the be-all and the end all of the University is its academic mission,” he has said. “You know, it’s so easy in any bureaucracy to worry about procedures and regulations and so on. And I feel it’s my job to keep reminding people that the academic program is the central program of the University.” The function of the Office of the Academic Affairs is, according to Alpert, “to be in touch with the faculty, understanding faculty problems, concerns, interests, and to meet with them to see if we — can resolve any problems or I 10% off on any Item with this coupon A Mexican blouses.5.

Hopefully, they wouldn’t have to wait more than half a day.” Bogen’s role as communicator with students is only one-half of his job. He is also a com municator for students. “If students have a point of University President Robert Clark talks with parents at last spring's Parents Weekend. information inside.” His authority extends over University Housing, the EMU, Supportive Services, and the Offices of Student Personnel Services and Student Ad ministrative Services. “Every day there will be time in the day for students,” he has said of his job. “No student with a problem will have to wait—he’ll be able to see me with that problem that day. view which I have learned to understand and support, that if I see the University or the per sonnel of the University drifting away from an area which I think is of interest to students, moving in a direction which is contrary to the best interests of students— well. I’ve got a responsibility to step in and try to redirect it, if that is occurring.” University President Heading these three areas is the University President, Robert Clark. Clark has defined his job as President as threefold: — Administrative: the execution of policy which is determined partly by the University faculty and partly by the State Board of Higher Education. —Interpretive: interpreting the University as being “open to the exploration and expression of ideas.” He exercises this in terpretation to students through due process, and to the public through “trying to explain the matter of due process and also to explain to them the role of the University as an open University which invites a wide expression of opinion—a much wider ex pression of opinion than in times of stress some of the public would like to allow it.” —Initiative: “responsibility for
