Business Manager Addresses Clark Faculty Institute

In an address before the Clark College second day Faculty Institute, Sinclair V. Jeter, Business Manager at the College, declared that the private college in America is facing increased competition but that its effectiveness has been established and must be maintained. "Therefore," Mr. Jeter said, "the private college must offer more if it is to continue this effectiveness."

Briefly reviewing for the faculty and staff the history and functions of college business offices, Mr. Jeter said that the focal function of the business office is to conserve institutional resources and care for certain designated administrative details. The ultimate objective of such offices, he indicated, is to point all business processes toward the institution's educational services.

Continuing with a description of the difference between financial problems peculiar to private and non-private institutions of higher education, and a statement of Clark College's primary source of income, the Business Manager recommended cooperation and understanding on the part of faculty personnel in maintaining the college on firm financial grounds.

Following Mr. Jeter's address and questions by the faculty, a manual of the functions and procedures of the business office as related to faculty and staff was issued to personnel in attendance.

Explaining that the manual "represents an effort on the part of the Business Office to set forth in writing those methods and procedures it would like to have followed by faculty and staff in the accomplishment of its assigned task and to make clear and identifiable those policies and regulations and reasons for them as information," the Business Manager urged staff members to become familiar with the contents so as to receive more and better service from the Business Office.

College, to be discussed by the Personnel staff and the freshman guides in Thayer Hall Recreation Room at seven o'clock in the evening will conclude the day's activities.

Glenn, Flossie Strozier and Betty Render, Savannah State College; Mr. Maurice Thrash, Misses Lula McLaughlin and Cathalene Daniel, Clark College, Atlanta, and Mr. Ralph Glenn, Morehouse College, Atlanta.
