A TMOSPHERE OF CHANGE Wesleyan, like the world around us, had its ups and downs during the year. Changes in the administration residence hall life and technology which facilitated communication occured with anticipation of creating a mon stable campus community. The college explored new avenues for making students more comfortable with their col lege experiences. Many administrative changes occurred which ranged from the Student Affairs office to the athletic program of fices. The Dean of Students, Dr. Dallas Bailey, became the Vice-president for Student Affairs. With this change came the appointment of Mr. William Johnston to the position of Associate Dean of Students. Dr. Bailey and Mr Johnston worked together throughout the year to coordinate the activities of the Student Affairs office. Mr Rochelle Peoples continued in the position of Acting Director of Admissions. Renovations o f the Admissions offic( along with new and exciting ideas for recruitment were initial changes which were necessary to help in the promo tion of Wesleyan. Perhaps the greatest highlight was the initiation of a Spring Open House, which occurred in Apri and allowed prospective students to see the campus in action. Dr. Jerry Beasley joined the Wesleyan family as th Vice-president for College Advancement. Coordinating the activities of such offices as College Public Relations anc the Alumni office were among his responsibilities. Dr. Beasley also spent much of his time and energy personallj working on college advancement. In this position, Dr. Beasley worked hard in relating the activities of the college tc the public. The Athletic department was not able to escape changes. Mr. Kent Carpenter became Athletic Directoi when Sam Ross accepted the position of Alumni Director. Coach Bill Strubel was appointed as head football coacf as Mr. Carpenter assumed his new responsibilities. The most dynamic change in the athletic department came with the placement of Mr. Bruce Stewart as the head basketball coach. Mr. Stewart and his assistant, Mr. Rich Cameron led their team to the NAIA championship in Kansas City. The Bobcats proved a respectable second place in the na tion. The team returned to Buckhannon, following their trip, and was greeted by fans in the Rockefeller Center. Th( new year brought many new faces to our campus and gave familiar faces new responsibilities. The efforts provec positive, as the campus community experienced a rewarding year. Students could not escape the inevitability of change. The year saw more students residing on campus than in re cent years. The Camden Avenue project was completed for occupation by students before the commencement o first semester. Students who chose to live there found a year of adventure. Campus-wide, students engaged in many activities within their halls. During .the year Mc- Cuskey Hall had completed the face-lift which was begun the year before, and Fleming Hall began to see renovations late in the year. Another transition involved the tapping of available resources to improve communications and technology. The personnel in the audio-visual department, along with administrators, made the campus cable-system a reality. A satellite dish was placed outside of Haymond Hall, and an antenna was placed on the top of the building. The computer system was updated for student use. The new system was installed and enabled more students to use the terminals at one time. With one word, TRAnSITIONS, the entire year can be summed up. The effects of change hit the campus on many occasions as Wesleyan continued to express its concern for the students, and the campus community as a whole.
