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

DEAM OF WOSVIEfcS r r e steps made for women by Dean Mrs. Frank (Mildred) Kirby, dean of women, is a progressive - minded individual. She is constant- ly attempting to present new ideas to the administrators which will benefit women students. An example this year has been the relaxation of the dress code. Smart pants suits, which replaced the mini look, became everyday at- tire for co-eds. Mrs. Kirby plays many roles. She tries to convey to the girls the im- portance of social graces, being well - groomed and well - man- nered. She devotes much of her time to guidance, disciplinary du- ties, and to working closely with the Women ' s Council. Being aware of modern - day trends, she strives to keep an open mind when it comes to her girls but she always upholds the policies and principles of Anderson Col- lege. Mrs. Kirby, a fashionable dress- er, keeps up with ideas. She re- ceived favorable comments when appearing in her chic pants suit in chapel while appealing to the girls to uphold, not abuse, the new dress code. Mrs. Mildred Kirby, Dean of Women.
