Public Relations is Slaughter ' s business Dr. John L. Slaughter, administrative associate at Anderson College, is well-versed in public rela- tions. He communicates well with people, is a good listener and very definitely has an open mind. His warm personality radiates to those with whom he comes in contact. Dr. Slaughter spends much of his time repre- senting the college in speaking engagements over the state, in personal interviews with students, in convocation speaking and in substitute classroom sessions. For more than two weeks, he taught Marriage and Family classes in Psychology while a faculty member was ill. During this time, he stressed the importance of religious emphasis in the home. He is well-qualified to instruct in this field as he spent 40 years in dealing with youth while in the ministry. These years have proved to be a valuable asset at Anderson College as he devotes part of his time to students who have volunteered for specific Christian service. Dr. Slaughter is an avid baseball fan and can pull all kinds of statistics and scores out of his hat. Although he is a distinguished gentleman, he is also a person capable of putting himself on the level of anyone he comes in contact with. He has a way of making people feel at ease — a characteristic every- one is not endowed with. Dr. John L. Slaughter, Administrative Associate If I was president of Anderson College I would suggest this There ' s more to this MARRIAGE AND FAMILY bit than meets the eye. 25
