Unified Publications Policy
Provides Coordinated Service
A new University publications
and printing policy goes into
effect this week with the ar
rival of Guy Nelson of Wash
ington, D. C., as director of
University publications.
The policy, adopted by the
Trustees in
March, provides
that all print
ing and publica-t
i o n s bearing
the name or em
blems of the
University b e
processed
Mr. Nelson through the
University pub
lications offices; and that these
various offices, now including
the University printing service,
be coordinated under the direc
tor of publications.
The publications offices will
be centered in the ground floor
of the library building.
Mr. Nelson has served since
1951 as manager of the Wash
ington College Press. The or
ganization has a present an
nual production volume of
$ 325,000, with 50 employees
and five production depart
ments in addition to proof and
copy- reading services, art de
partment, and sales force.
The new publications direc
tor is a 1949 graduate of La
Campus Recruiters
Now Adopting
Union Team Plan
If you are a student and be
wildered by so many confer
ence recruitment programs or
if you are a recruiter and dis
appointed by small response
praise the new emphasis on
union recruitment teams.
According to Carl Sundin,
director of University place
ment, seven of a potential nine
union conferencas el the Sev
enth- day Adventist church are
planning a team visit during
the coming school year.
With 53 conferences now
participating in recruitment ac
tivities at Loma Linda, the un
ion team approach rather
than isolated conference visits
is essential, Mr. Sundin de-dares,
if interest and impact
are to be at their greatest.
Three of the most successful
union conferences have fol
lowed the team plan for sev
eral years, the placement di
rector points out. A majority
of the other unions are now
convinced of the advantages of
this method, which include ac
cess to a larger number of stu
dents, greater impact on the
student body and less disturb
ance to the student program.
