Fifty-nine percent of these faculty members hold doctoral degrees. The University of Montana is fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The seven professional schools, including business administration, education, fine arts, fores­ try, journalism, law and pharmacy, are all ac­ credited by appropriate national organizations. More than 40 buildings are contained within the limits of the 16-acre main campus on the eastern edge of Missoula. The University owns an additional 624 acres on Mt. Sentinel. A short distance south of the main campus is a 154-acre area holding 394 mar­ ried students housing units, a nine-hole golf course, the University baseball field, and the new Dom- blaser Stadium for football and track. New buildings on campus include two high-rise dormitories and the gigantic new University Center. The University also owns 295 acres at Fort Mis­ soula, plus 20,850 acres in the Lubrecht Experi­ mental Forest, 35 miles northeast of Missoula, and 167 acres on Flathead Lake, including a Biological Station at Yellow Bay, 90 miles north of Missoula. The President Robert T. Pantzer was appointed President of the University of Montana on Dec. 16, 1966 by the State Board of Regents after he served as acting president since August 15, 1966. A familiar figure on the Missoula campus, Pantzer has been associated with the University since 1957, serving as a professor of business administration and as financial vice pres­ ident. He received his B.A. in business administration from UM in 1940 before serving 42 months over­ seas during World War II. He was discharged from the Army with the rank of major and a bronze star for meritorious service in the East Indies. Following the war, Pantzer returned to grad­ uate from the University of Montana law school in 1947 before serving as county attorney at Chester, Montana from 1947-50 and practicing law in Liv­ ingston, Montana, his birthplace, until 1957. Pantzer and his wife, Ann, have three children. — 3 — Athletic Director Jack Swarthout is Montana’s athletic director, and since assuming these duties as well as those of head football coach on Feb. 1, 1967, he has taken large strides in changing the athletic atmosphere at the University of Mon­ tana. Swarthout, a native of Prosser, Wash., is well known in Montana sports circles. He came to the University of Montana and played football from 1940-42, seeing action at quarterback, halfback and end. His brother Bill was here at the same time, and the two played ball to­ gether for two of those three years. Bill Swarth­ out is now a high school administrator
