Without committed and creative administrators, Evangel would not turn out students each year that are markedly different and special. The men that held these positions were: Dr. Thurman Vanzant, dean of students; Dr. Zenas Bicket, academic dean; George Crawford, business manager; and Neil Eskelin, director of development. Vanzant's position as dean made him aware of the needs of the students, their develop- ment as Christians, and their transition from late adoles- cence to young adulthood. He spent much of his time helping generate programs that will assist individuals moving from high school into young adult- hood. Counseling services and student government pro- grams provided help for such changes experienced by new students. Bicket stated that a Classic faculty is necessary to provide a quality program that does not chase after fads, but seeks to prepare the students for the outside through a unique learning experience. , Academically the campus has been expanding. The new areas of study, such as the computer science minor; the improved facilities, such as on-line registration; and well- informed instructors, helped Four who shape the future Administrators guide growth of students, campus to make the campus more significant and better qualified. Crawford saw students every day facing the problems of finances. He hoped that through interactions in these matters that every student would learn to accept dealing with their own financial situa- tions. He shared that he had several opportunities to pray with students for llimpossible needs,ll then watched them being met. It's been a unique experience seeing bills paid by other students for the ones with needs, stated Crawford. Eskelin sees Evangel as a, place to train quality Christian leaders. l'The large enrollment has allowed Evangel to select a higher degree of quality students. The key to continual and successful growth of a Christian college, pointed out Eskelin, is to maintain a close tie with the church that birthed you. The pressures that have accompanied the rapid growth of the school have been successfully and efficiently handled by each one of the administrators, individually and jointly. - Michele Prentice e Zenas Bicket, academic dean, studies papers in his office.

E Working around the campus Thirteen directors, staffs fulfill common goal veryone is familiar with E the well-known names of Dr. Zenas Bicket, academic dean, Dr. Thurman Vanzant, dean of students, Neil Eskelin, director of develop- ment, and George Crawford, business manager. Thirteen less famous directors, however, were responsible for making things work around the cam- pus. From admissions to alum- n , men and women worked to make the campus a pleasant and enjoyable place to live. The motto of the directors could very well have been Computer Programming. Front row: Wilma Clark, Coleen Cooper, Avonna lopez. Back row: James Davies, Daron Hill, Bruce Allen, Ken Adams. Our concern is for your future. It begins with Eva Box, director of admissions, who corresponds with prospective students, hoping to convince them to make Evangel a part of their future. Once a student arrives on campus, life is quickly governed by directors such as Charles Askew, director of maintainance, Harold White, director of housing, and William Gunn, director of food services. These men and their staffs work many hours to make the campus as much like home as possible. Dr. B. Arthur Erickson, registrar, and his staff members took care of academic registra- tion and the records for every student. Schedules, registra- tion cards, and transcripts were filed for future reference. This department also worked with seniors to ensure that the requirements for graduation were fully met. r Cafeteria.
