Although they may not have
the adventures of movie secre
taries, every day 1,729 men and
women type, file and answer
phones on the Texas A&M
campus.
This week is national Profes
sional Secretaries Week — to
recognize the work and dedica
tion of the men and women who
work in the office often attend
ing to routine duties.
“Being a secretary is an hon
est profession — and let’s face it,
we’re needed,” said Pam Ander
son, senior secretary for J.
Creighton Miller Jr., interim de
partment head of horticultural
sciences.
Secretaries have chosen their
profession for various reasons.
Pat B. Ladewig, executive
secretary to President Frank E.
Vandiver, said that when she be
gan working 12 years ago, she
felt the profession had opportu
nities for advancement and
growth for women.

get a job in which I had daily

At least 16 students will work
on one of two sunny Caribbean
islands this summer.
The MSC Travel Committee
is sponsoring the trips to the
Dominican Republic and Trini
dad. Participants will leave July
12 and return Aug. 9.
“It’s mainly a cultural ex
change program,” said Melanie
Campbell, the student coordina
tor for the trip to Trinidad. “It’s
the kind of experience you
couldn’t gain on a college
campus.”
Tneresa Chiang, the prog
ram’s adviser, said the commit
tee helps participants find jobs.
Students who went to the
Dominican Republic last sum

day schools, orphanages and
programs helping poor chil

rious backgrounds,” Ladewig
said.
Ladewig had worked in other
fields before she joined Vandiv
er’s staff months ago.
Anderson said she became a
secretary out of necessity.
“After being a full time
mother for four years, with only
2Vi years of college behind me,
and the responsibility of raising
a young daughter, I chose a field
that seemed very natural for
me,” she said.
Ladewig said that her
strongest assets are her love for
people and her typing.
“I’m a ‘people person’ and I
enjoy meeting ana dealing with
a variety of personalities each
day,” she saief.
Elizabeth Williamson, senior
secretary to Agriculture Dean
H.O. Kunkel agrees that meet
ing new people is an added fea
ture to the job, but she also en
joys the office work. After two
years at a business college, Wil
liamson began her secretarial
career when she was 18.
Secretarial duties of the
women are set up to keep their
employers’ offices running
smoothly and efficiently.
