106 Faculty The Clock strikes three Teachers disappear, students donit know where he chances of having a T class at 3 pm. on Tues- days and Thursdays were zero. The hour, however, was not left open for everyone. Faculty members headed for various conference rooms for the necessary committee meetings. Within the four walls of the rooms, the decisions, recommendations, changes, and suggestions left their mark on the students, faculty, and campus. Instructors found them- selves serving on several of the 18 committees. Department heads were usually members of four different committees, while other faculty served on one to five. The Academic Council, Development Committee, and C III! Spencer I Mr. Dickinson, assistant professor of education, types in the confines of his office. Dickinson taught foundations of education classes. Mr. 1. Douglas Tarpley, assistant professor of journalism, talks photo- graphy with Kurt Vandeerucht, sen- Ior. Tarpley also served on the Communications committee. Long-Range Planning Commit- tee consisted mostly of the department heads. Dr. Glenn Bernet, professor of mathema- tics and department head, stated he enjoyed working on the committees. It is interest- ing to be a part of the decisions that shape the college for what it will be in 5 or 10 years. Committee members spend from six to eight hours a month to three to five hours a week working on school issues. Issues cover all areas of student and faculty life. Cultur- al events, spiritual emphasis meetings, admissions policies and athletic programs were covered in corresponding committees which were con- cerned with student develop- ment and enrichment. A Facul- ty Personnel Committee and Faculty Affairs Committee took care of faculty issues and concerns. A special Committee on Faculty Committees was re- sponsible for recommending the membership of each of the remaining faculty committees to the Academic Dean, ac- cording to the Faculty hand- book. Alta Wyckoff, assistant professor of education and behavioral sciences, served on four committees. Three of them dealt with education. The fourth one, the Learning Re- sources Committee, provided assistance to the Learning Resource Center in develop- ing material and improving sources. y Cliff Spencer

' 1 08 Faculty Clock strikes three; teachers For Miss Wyckoff, this committee took more time than the others. Keeping up with existing material fg-r review, and possible selection, required spending time out- side of the meeting to give valuable input in the meetings. Everybody has input that is valuable. A lot of input makes the committee valu- able, explained Miss Wyckoff. Committees are appointed each spring. Members are appointed by the President of the college in consultation with the Academic Dean and his Committee on Faculty Committees. Membership of the committees is rotated from year to year. Rebecca Rhoades, assis- tant professor of economics, commented, It's interesting that the committees are work- able. The members, with varied backgrounds, different ideas, and strong opinions, do work together and reach decisions. Teachers, just as students, come from many places. Some came with a secular education while others returned to their alma mater. Differences of ideas and beliefs served to make the committees successful in at- taining their goals. Miss disappear Wyckoff said, There is strength in the opinion of different people. The hidden work of the many committees is obviously not in vain. The results affect the life of the campus inhabi- tants. Sometimes it takes years, but sometimes it only takes minutes to feel the impact of the discussion, brainstorming, and decisions of the meetings. When students desperate- ly needed to talk with an instructor on Tuesday or Thursday, it had to be before the clock struck three, because for that one hour, there were no teachers to be found. e
