DEVELOPMENT Development Office plans major campaign With the cost of education ac- celerating each year, institutions of higher learning found that the need to seek additional resources was inevitable. It has only been in the past decade that two-year colleges have added the Office of Devel- opment. Mr. Russell E. Bridges assumed his responsibilities in this capacity in the summer of 1970. He is di- recting an overall college devel- opment program which includes capital needs campaigns, promo- tion of deferred giving through be- quests, and annual giving by all elements of the constituency. In 1971, a major campaign is be- ing initiated, with the help of a qualified staff. Mrs. Blair Snipes is secretary to Mr. Bridges, Mrs. Donald Fite is records secretary, Mrs. Alvin Grigg is news director, Mrs. Carey Jones handles printing and mailing operations, and Mrs. Winburn Jones is the IBM operator. A new office (records) is now in operation and is responsible for locating and identifying all alumni. Mr. Russell E.

DEAN OF STUDENT AFFAIRS A dedicated man accepts challenge of new position Mr. J. K. Lawton has played many roles on campus but his most recent role is Dean of Student Af- fairs — a challenging, yet demand- ing position. Mr. Lawton has taken his new job seriously and made progressive steps in dealing with students. Un- derstanding and patience, which he uses generously, are assets to him in his work. His years in the ministry helped to prepare him for his new role. Relaxation of many rules have been evident this year for both male and female students. Recrea- tional facilities were greatly im- proved, and more campus activity was planned. Involvement and communication are key words to any successful program dealing with students . . . Mr. Lawton knows the meaning of both. Although Mr. Lawton still wears his hair short and is never seen in bell-bottoms and tennis shoes, he does wear wire glasses. He has made the school campaign speech, bring day students and dorm stu- dents together, a reality. Mr. Lawton also holds the posi- tion of vice-president at Anderson College. Mr. Lawton dictates to Mrs. James Thorne, secretary. Mr. J. K. Lawton, Dean of Student Affairs and Vice-President. Being one of the boys . . . communication, dialogue, togetherness. 26
