NO. 36
Dr. Skiles Completes
10th Year of Service
He was out of twon on school business
forestalling any formal observance of the
occasion but Dr. Elwin L. Skiles Friday
completed his tenth year as president of
Hardin-Simmons University.
With the anniversary Dr. Skiles joined
Dr. Rupert N. Richardson and the late Dr. J.
D. Sandefer as one of the only three men who
have served as president of the school for 10
years or more. And technically Dr. Skiles
ranks second since two years of Dr.
Richardson's service was as acting presi-
dent. Dr. Skiles became president of H-SU on
Apr. 3 1966 succeeding Dr. James Landes.
And on Saturday 10 years later one of the
trustees who was on the selection committee
and who now is chairman of the board re-
viewed the Skiles years and concluded that
his committee had done its work well.
"Dr. Skiles" said Abilene attorney Bill
Tippen "already ranks as one of the best
chief administrators the school has ever
had. It's easy to see in him the influence of
early presidents particularly Prexy San-
defer and Dr. Richardson but Elwin Skiles
has brought his own dimension of leadership
to the position. Many of his accomplish-
ments are nothing short of miraculous."
The areas of academics finances and
physical plant growth furnish ample wit-
ness of Dr. Skiles success Tippen said.
One of the first big achievements under
the Skiles administration was completion of
a challenge fund-raising campaign wich
greatly bolstered the university's perma-
nent endowment. The first building con-
structed under his regime was the Sid
Richardson Science Center in 1968 made
possible by a grant from the Sid Richardson
Foundation.
But most of the improvements have been
accomplished through the Profile for Prog-
ress a 10-year plan proposed by Dr. Skiles
early in his administration and approved by
the trustees in 1969. Because of the way
several large gifts were designated some
priorities in thecampaign were shifted but
by the mid-1970s many of the original goals
have been reached.
Mabee Hall a new home for the ROTC
program was built in 1971. A new home for
the president was built in 1971. A new home
for the Cowboy Band was completed in 1972
and Woodward-Dellis Recital Hall in 1973.
A new library named the Rupert N. and
Pauline Richardson Library will be com-
pleted this spring and occupied this fall. All
funds have been raised for a new phuysical
eduction-athletic complex and construction
is under way. Modernization projects in-
cluding the air-conditioning of all campus
buildings also have been financed and work
has started. An endowment for faculty
growth and development is now being
sought in the final project of the current
Profile for Progress phase.

Saga Initiates New Service
Program Aims to Increase Nutritional Awareness
Menlo Park Cal. . . .A prog-
ram aimed at increasing the
nutritional awareness of its cus-
tomers is being implemented on
a nationwide basis by Saga Food
Service. The program is the first
of its kind to be implemented on
such a large scale by a food ser-
vice management company.
The increasing interest in
good nutrition prompted Saga to
begin looking into ways to in-
crease nutritional awareness a
year ago.
According to John Sweet vice
president of administration the
company looked at a variety of
programs in use and settled on
modifying the program based on
the Bqsic 4 Food Groups de-
veloped and used by the Dairy
Council of California. "The
specific goals of the program are:
1) to create awareness of the
Baisc 4 Food Groups Milk
Meat Vegetable-Fruit Bread-
Cereal 2) to create awareness of
what foods each grop contains
3) to create awareness of the
minimum number of daily por-
tions a person should eat from
each group to maintain a nutri-
tionally sound diet" says Sweet.
The program is being im-
plemented in two stages. First
all Saga Food Service Directors
are taking the seminar de-
veloped by the Dairy Council of
California. Using audio-visual
aids and programmed instruc-
tion the teacher of the seminar
instructs the Food Service Di
rectors on the elements of sound
nutrition as they relate to the
Basic 4 Food Groups. Once they
have finished the seminar the
Food Service Directors may im-
plement the second part of the
program aimed at their own cus-
tomers in Saga's 3 Food Service
Divisions: Education Health
Care and Business and Indus-
try. This program consists of 12
colorful posters which are posted
in a sequential way one follow-
ing the other. The theme of the
program "Making Good Nutri-
tion Simple" is introduced in
the first poster which lists the
Basic 4 Food Groups. The next 4
posters list the contents of each
of the 4 food groups while the

INNOCATIVE H-SU students make Hardin-Simmons the only university in the country to have its own fully-furnished
fountain. Unfortunately the furnishing was "borrowed" and had to be replaced. It is assumed the signs were disposed
of and Forty Acres Is not for sale.
sixth poster states the number of
daily portions one should take
from each group to maintain a
nutritionally sound diet.
People still in their teens
shoul choose 4 poritons a day
from the Milk Group 2 from the
Meat Grou 4 from the
Vegetable-Fruit Group and 4
from the Bread-Cereal Group.
People 20 years and over need
only 2 daily poritons from the
Milk Group while the portions
from the other 3 groups reamin
the same.
The remaining posters re-
enforce this basic message. One
of them deals with weight reduc-
tion reminding people that if
they take only the minimum re-
quired daily portions from each
group they will maintain a nut-
ritionally sound diet while tak-
ing in onlyu 1200 calories a day
less than the average person
burns daily.
Saga also has available a
truly unique computer program
giving the nutritional value of a
single portion of each of the
foods appeaing on Saga menu.
Saga is proud to be the leader in
the Industry in furnishing this
type of information to its cus-
tomers and clients. It shows the
amount of each of the following
essential nutrients and also
shows the amount of each of the
following essential nutrients
and also shows the nutrients as
the of RAD's: caloris protein
fat carbohydrates calcium
phosphorus iron sodium
potassium Vitamin A thiamin
riboflavin niacin Vitamin C
and Vitamin D. Also shown are
the amounts of saturated fats
poluunsaturated fats and
cholesterol. rfJ uinmsi
