Only The Faces Have Changed Erskine’s tradition at times seems paradoxical. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The more things stay the same, the more they change. It seems like every week we, as students, are pounded with changes that may affect the rest of our lives. These changes on the outside make profound changes inside us as well. As members of the Erskine family, we all open ourselves to other people—friends, professors, even - our parents. That opening creates in every Erskine student the ability to change. Through conversations at the dinner table, on the swing at the circle, or in our classrooms, everyone is affected by the ideas and dreams of others. Although the inward and outward changes seem radical at times, the founding principles of the College remain the same. It seems that only the faces change; that the tradition remains constant. Yet the tradition changes all of us, and when we leave Due West, we are stronger for the changes we have experienced. The tradition will remain with each one of us as each one of us makes his mark on Erskine. The faces may change, but the tradition of excellence, quality and perseverance remains in each one of us as well as in Erskine.

Dedication 1988 When Dot Carter first arrived in Due West, little did she realize that she would have such a great effect on so many students over the next twenty years. Beginning in 1967, Dot was introduced to the Erskine family as secretary to the Admissions Office, then headed by Bill Lesesne. Her former boss remarked that “one of her best attributes is her genuine caring for students and their parents.”’ She upholds the Erskine tradition of caring and excellence. After taking time off to raise a family, Dot returned to Erskine to head the Financial Aid Office. Through her expertise and commitment, Dot has enabled students to attend Erskine. The students aren't the only ones to recognize and appreciate Dot’s hard work. Respected in both regional and national financial aid organizations, Dot was elected last year as president of the South Carolina Association of Financial Aid Directors. Dot’s caring for people extends to other areas of her life as well. ‘‘Miss Dot” teaches the two-year-old Sunday School class at the Due West A.R.P. Church. Her pupils as well as her friends love her smile and encouraging words, which she shares freely. Dot is married to Tracy Carter, principal of Dixie High School. The Carters have two children, Shannon and 1; Dot Carter is one of the faces that help Erskine excel. Because of her commitment to Erskine, its ideals and its students, we proudly dedicate the 1988 Arrow to Dorothy Jamison Carter. Dot Carter keeps busy with phone calls from incoming students.
