CLAUDE R RICKMAN —PRESIDENT Dr. Claude R. Rickman. B.S., M.D.. Th.D. On July 23, 1978, Dr. Claude R. Rickman began his tenth, and possible Ins last year as President of Central Wesleyan College. It was at the Sept. Board of Trustees meeting that Dr. Rickman asked and was granted his request to step down as President to return to the classroom. During the past ten years Dr. Rickman has set many goals that has improved the quality of education here at CWC. One of these goals was the school’s accreditation, which came about in 1973. In December of 1978, the school was re-accredited for the next ten years, something we all can be thankful for. A second project was the completion of the library-learning center. Dr. Rickman travels a great deal representing the college throughout the South, and thus he is not on campus as much as he would like to be. When he is here, though, his “open door” policy makes it possible for any student to go and talk with him. As the adequately qualified leader of our school, Dr. Rickman is a man, first of all dedicated to Christ, and secondly- dedicated to his purpose of training men and women. Dr. Rickman has a deep love and concern for all the students, so that could be one reason why the students will be seeing more of Dr. Rickman in the near future. 10

DEANS New faces were seen in both the Academic Dean and the Dean of Student’s office, as they assume duties this fall. Filling the position of Academic Dean was Stephen Calhoon, Jr. He earned his B.S. from Houghton. After a short stay in the army, Dr. Calhoon assumed a position as prof, of chemistry at Houghton. After teaching for several years, he took a leave of absence at which time he came to Central to set up its chemistry major. Dr. Calhoon stated that, “a wide range of committee work at the college level” and “the responsibilities in governance development and the administrative aspects of being a department head” were qualities that helped him to become Dean. His duties include setting up the curriculum, scheduling of classes and offering assistance to both student and faculty concerning academic problems. Stepping into the office of Dean of Students was Dr. Don Wood. He received his B.S. from Central and his Th.D. from Fuller Theological Seminary. Dr. Wood has been a part-time faculty member at John Wesley College. He has had experience and training in working with young people most of his life. He has served as President of the Southern Area Youth of the Wesleyan Church which should help him in this challenging new position. As Dean his duties include being responsible for all student affairs on campus, ind seeing that all students abide by the schools rules and regulations. Dr. Don Wood, Dean of Students 11
