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

Dean Butler emphasizes the chapel announcements. Dean communicates well with students A new administrative office was establislied at Anderson College this year. Mr. C. E. Butler, former academic dean for the past seven years, will begin his duties as Director of Student Affairs when the 1969-70 school session convenes. Mr. Butler ' s new role will be to strengthen stu- dent affairs and to coordinate the work of various individuals and department heads. One of his greatest contributions to Anderson College has been his ability to work with students. A recent chapel speaker and former student recently made the fol- lowing comment about Mr. Butler: He has the amaz- ing ability to get close to students — even fresh- men. Mr. Butler has been associated with Anderson College since 1960 when he came to the college as a part-time teacher. As the college grew, he became Academic Dean and Registrar and was Dean of Men. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Education Degrees from Clemson University and a Bachelor of Divinity from Erskine Theological Sem- inary after he entered the ministry. He has taught school and has served as pastor in addition to his many other accomplishments. „ Now you know Freshmen girls can ' t have cars. Academic Dean C. E. Butler 27
