New staff brings strong commitments
By Doug Glasson
The new year and season
brings a group of new and ex-citing
people to the Wesleyan
campus. This group includes an
Assistant Dean, a Director of
Residential Programs, and eight
Residence Hall Directors; all
new, all energetic, and all full of
fresh ideas.
The new staff members bring
with them strong commitments
to facilitating communication,
aiding human development, and
creating a strong sense of
community on an all-university
level.
Following are brief in-troductions
which hopefully will
encourage as many students as
possible to get to know the new
faces on campus.
Our new Assistant Dean,
Maggie Balistreri, comes from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin and brings
a lot of energy with her. Her
duties include serving as
Director of Counseling Service,
Coordinator of Programming
for Women, and Coordinator of
Student Activities. her office is in
209 Holmes, and she urges
students to stop by for a chat.
Gayle Buckley (the one with
the beard) is Director of
Residential programs. Gayle
has his M.A. in Student Personnel
Administration in Higher
Education from Ball State
University and brings with him a
strong belief in the Liberal Arts.
Darcy Greder will be the Hall
Director for small halls as well as
the Assistant Director of
Residential programs. Darcy
comes to us from Western Illinois
University where she was a
Resident Assistant. She lives in
Adams Hall and her office is in
the Memorial Center.
Terry Jackson, the new Magill
Hall Director, comes from
Illinois State University where he
was a student advisor and
academic advisor. He has his
B.S. in Psychology-Sociology and
would like to do work towards a
master's degree in Counselor
Education.
Cheryl Leach will be the
Pfeiffer Hall Director this year.
Cheryl was a Resident Assistant
at Blackburn College before

B.A. in Biology and would like to
work someday as a park ranger.
Gloria Marks is Gulick's new
Hall Director and will also serve
as Coordinator of Student Em-ployment.
Gloria has a B.A. in
Sociology and has worked for two
years as Student Employment
secretary at IWU. Her husband
Curtis will be working as a
psychologist in Peoria.
Terry Ensign, the Hall Director
Avoid future shock
By Elizabeth Martin
Over the summer, Gulick's
basement received a face-lift in
preparation for the opening of the
Career Education and Career
Planning offices this fall.
The Career Education office is
for students who are not quite
sure what they want to go into or
want further information on their
career choice.
Kate Romani staffs the office
with seven paraprofessionals,
who are students trained for
counseling. The paraprofes-sionals
include David Hirst, Joe
Career Education and Planning Center paraprofessionals going over
materials in new facilities.
in Ferguson, is a recent graduate
of Augustana College. She has
her B.A. in Sociology-Education
and is interested in women's
studies and human sexuality.
John Parker, the new Hall
Director at Dolan, has his B.A. in
Psychology-Business Ad-ministration
from Illinois State
University. He has experience as
a student advisor at State and is
interested in group counseling
and anxiety research.
Noreen LeGare also comes to
us from Illinois State, where she
received her B.S. in Sociology.
She was in the Student Advisory
Program and also active in peer
counseling. She is intersted in the
area of human development and
sexuality. She is Hall Director in
Munsell.
Ben Milster is the new Hall
Director in Dodds. He has a B.S.
in Sociology from Illinois State
and is working on a master's in
counselor education. Ben was a
student advisor at State and
would like to work in higher
education in the future. One of his
big interests is human sexuality.
These are some of the new
faces you will be running into.
When you do run into them, step
right up and say "hello." You will
find a ready ear for your con-cerns,
and behind that, a genuine
interest in you as a person.
Ricely, Diane Detjen, Craig Hill,
Beth Butler, Jean Sullivan, and
Lisa Otterstron.
The office has a library of
brochures from different
businesses, what each job entails,
and different states where jobs
are available.
So far the office is still in the
planning stage, but the staff is
planning group sessions as well
as interviews with businessmen
about their jobs.
Even though the office is not
functioning fully, students are
encouraged to find out more
about the office as well as give
suggestions as to what they would
like to see done.
Career Planning is not new to
the Wesleyan campus. Kathy
McClintock is the head of the
office whose function is to counsel
seniors on job opportunities.
The office is also involved with
fellowships and scholarships, the
study abroad program, student
employment, foreign student
advisor, summer jobs, interest
tests, and mailing senior
credentials.
The Career Education Office
will have a weekly column in the
Argus to keep students up-to-date
on their activities.
The upstretched arms of the referees indicate the only touchdown of
Saturday's football battle between the Titans and the Elmhurst
Bluejays. Wesleyan took the rain-soaked decision, 7-0, after
recovering 4 Bluejay fumbles and picking off two interceptions. (See
back page.)
Uniting our needs...
The United Way is scheduled to
kick-off its fund-raising cam-paign
next Tuesday, the twenty-seventh
of September. This
annual event attempts to collect
enough money to support the
various organizations which the
United Way sponsors.
Mr. Highum, director of the
Library, is coordinator for the
campaign on the Wesleyan
campus. His technique in han-dling
the drive is one of soft-sell:
students will only be asked to
contribute. No high-pressure
Fall enrollment
figures released
Something to contemplate
while waiting in line at the
Commons ...
The School of Liberal Arts
professes 621 men and 531
women. The School of Music touts
113 female and 65 male
musicians. The School of Art has
drawn 19 men and 53 women. The
School of Drama opened with 42
actors and 51 actresses. Two men
and 184 women attend the School
of Nursing.
There are 338 seniors; 362
juniors; 467 sophomores and 513
freshmen at IWU this fall:
making the total enrollment 1681
students.
tactics will be used.
Few people seem to realize just
how much the United Way con-tributes
to our community. It
sponsors some twenty-three
organizations in McLean County,
including Baby Fold, the Red
Cross, the Y.W.C.A. and the
Y.M.C.A., Head Start, P.A.T.H.
and Planned parenthood, to name
a few.
The contributions received
from McLean County residents
are directed back into McLean
County institutes. By giving,
Wesleyan students and faculty
will be helping this community to
help themselves.
Last year's United Way budget
for McLean County was some
$975,000. Wesleyan was able to
contribute $7,000 toward this
total. This year's goal, however,
is $1.1 million. If the United Way
is to reach this goal the people of
this county are going to have to
generously open their hearts and
hands.
The Argus supports the effort
of the United Way. We ask that
you contribute as much as you
are able. Many needy
organizations exist in this
country. But by giving to the
United Way, we will all be able to
see the direct results of our
contributions.
Please help yourselves by
helping those that serve you.
