Volunteer Jobs Learn about summer volunteer programs in Chicago and outside the city. See the board next to the Dean's board New Director Forecasts Innovations in Admission Ronald D. Niece, former area ad missions counselor for Hiram Scott College, Scotts Bluff, Neb., has been appointed Director of Admis sions for Mundelein College. A native of Fairfield, Iowa, Mr. Niece has worked with the Hous ing Office of Parsons College, and served as Assistant Dean of Stu dents, Dean of Students and ad missions counselor for Hiram Scott before accepting the Mundelein ap pointment. MR. NIECE IS A PROFES SIONAL who looks upon college recruitment as a full-time job, said Daniel G. Cahill, Vice Presi dent of Development and Public Relations. He is aware of many of the re cruitment problems common to a small, religiously oriented school and hopes to overcome them at Mundelein. One of the most important of these problems facing Mr. Niece is the keen competition among area colleges for well-rounded stu dent bodies. Mr. Niece plans to personalize recruitment by visiting not only schools but the homes of high school students interested in attending Mundelein to answer questions and to tell the students and parents about the advantages of a city campus, explained Mr. Cahill. Ronald Niece MR. NIECE LOOKS upon the commuter - stu dent as continu ing to play a most important role in Munde lein's future, ac cording to Mr. Cahill. The com muter student of the future is needed to equal ize the balance of resident-com muter numbers since the college does not possess unlimited resi dent facilities. Ways of making commuting as attractive as resi dency will be studied. No official change is anticipated in the admissions policy. Empha sis will continue to be placed on the total person when considering a girl for enrollment, with marks, test scores, recommendations, ac tivities and personal interviews all playing a part. THE CURRENT INTEREST in the admissions policy reflects Mun delein's move toward a nationwide student-recruitment program, which first came into prominence with the much publicized Jane Trahey advertisements. Mr. Niece will coordinate the activities of the college's Chicago admissions coun selors, seven regional admissions counselors and an Eastern States admissions representative. Faculty Lay Plans for Busy Day The faculty plans for summer branch into varied channels, which include travel, study and teaching abroad. Traveling with students of the program, Sister Ann Leone Gra ham will teach the culture and literature of countries they tour. TO CONCLUDE THE SUM MER, Sister will accompany Kath leen Pelletier to the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference at Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vt. Kathleen won the scholarship there from the Atlantic Monthly for her short story, Frostbite. The scholar ship includes room, board and tui tion for both student and instruc tor. Mr. Gordon Goetemann of the art department will teach in Can ada, and Mr. Kenneth Weeks, the ology, will teach a summer course at the University of San Francisco. PAUL O'DEA of the English de partment will continue work on a composition textbook, to be pub lished by Scientific Research Asso ciates.

Chairman of the chemistry de partment, Sister Marina Kennelly, will pursue post-doctoral research on a fellowship for ten weeks at the University of Florida.
