Business Affairs The dollars and cents of the college oper- ation are in the hands of the Office of Busi- ness Affairs. It touches literally every facet of college life - from payroll to phone bills, from mail to maintenance, and from books to budgets. Joe Hardin, controller, has the responsi- bility for budget reporting, financial control, auditing, cost analysis, securities, and con- tracts and documents. Student asccounts, payroll, and loan collections are also in his domain. Both the college bookstore and the Bible School Literature and Supply House oper- ate under the business affairs office. New facilities were provided this fall when Pruett Book Center opened. The expansion gave additional space for display and allowed new items to be added in both stores. Joe Glisson directs these enterprises. He is assisted in the bookstore by Mrs. Jess Wilcoxson and in the literature supply house by Claude Ran- dolph. Areas near and dear to students' hearts are mail and meals. The campus post office not only delivers those eagerly awaited let- ters from home and gifts from secret pals, it also mails out a multitude of recruiting and fund raising materials. The food service, op- erated by Hill Management Services provid- ed three meals a day in the cafeteria, fast food in the Lions Pride, and snacks in vend- ing machines. Maintenance, general services and con- struction also fall under this division of the college's administration. Sometimes called plant and grounds, this area includes the brick and mortar of campus life - from new construction to repairs to landscaping. gn Student aid accounts occupy much of the time of Lois Joyner in the business office. 120 BUSINESS AFFAIRS ' - S. . , .,. git YWPN' ,. . at sg, 'W Taking a coffee break from work in the business office Students Kara Galleo and Craig Bennett select a card are Vice President Tom Davis, Rob Jones, and Jog fora friend in the expanded card shop located in Pruett Hardin.

The faculty and staff respond to the needs of students to provide them with lifelong learning and to help them make the transi- tion to the work force or graduate school as smoothly as possible. The people who work in academic affairs are chiefly concerned with how they can help the student. The academic program of the college is headed by Dr. J.D. Thomas, provost, who also has campus-wide responsibilities as vice president for computing and planning. The operative officer of the academic pro- gram is Dr. B.J. Naylor, academic dean. He is responsible for adminis- tering the academic policies of the institution on a day-to-day basis. John Hollingsworth, assistant academic dean, coordinates the pro- gram of academic advising for students. He is assisted by the staff in the Center for Academic and Life Planning and by selected faculty. He administers the program of directed studies, which includes individual instruction and independent study. The registrar, June Oldham, is custodian of the academic records of students, She arranges for registration and certifies the eligibility of students for various degrees. Transcripts of credit are issued by the registrar. Jack Hilliard serves as director of placement. He assists students in developing credentials for the placement file, arranges for interviews with prospective employers, and provides references and the place- ment file to be sent as requested by the student. The library is an integral part of the academic program. Mrs. Jane Miller, head librarian, and her staff secure, process, and make available books, periodicals, and microforms. The library is also responsible for audiovisual materials, equipment, and services. Curriculum and instruction are organized around divisions and de- partments. Teachers are the heart of the academic program. They provide the daily face-to-face contact with students.
