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.

ACADEMIC DEAN Academic Dean has multiple talents Dean Paul Talmadge instructs Miss Sandra Hyatt, secretary. Although Dr. Paul A. Talmadge, academic dean, is small in stature he stands tall in character and ability. Dr. Talmadge possesses many admirable traits such as intelli- gence, personality, patience and compassion. Although he is a symbol of au- thority and is definitely a scholar, he is never too busy to talk with students who are experiencing dif- ficulty in the academic field. He can function on anyone else ' s level, whether it be a timid fresh- man or a top administrator. When he speaks, he says something — he is heard and respected for his opinions from all levels. Dr. Tal- madge is also a good listener and finds that sometimes much more can be accomplished by being a good listener than by being heard. His age, as well as his outlook, have been advantages to him — he is not too old to need help with bridging the communications gap, yet is old enough to genuinely un- derstand the problems of young people without condeming them or categorizing them. Happiness is ... a gentle touch of a child. The expression of a tedious day. 29
