Business Affairs . . The Green Stuff Money to a private institu- tion is of extreme importance to its very existence. Operata- ing without direct tax support, F-HC must generate income from tuition, fees, gifts, en- dowment earnings, and auxil- liary enterprises such as the Pruett Book Center. Working under the direction of Vice President Tom Davis, the Of- fice of Business Affairs man- ages and disperses these funds. ln addition to budget control and cash flow supervision, Da- vis oversees students ac- counts, non-academic person- nel, the food service, building and grounds, business and ac- counting offices, the book- store, mailroom, and con- struction. He says that he strives for the satisfaction of trying to see that everything works together for the good of F-HC. When faced with stress, the vice president concentrates on working through a job and lets stress take care of itself. ll Corinthi- ans 9:8 is a favorite scripture that helps him cope. Working with Davis in the Office of Business Affairs are Joe P. Hardin, controllerg Doris Maness, director of financial aid, and Joe Glisson, director of Pruett Book Center. Hardin, a 22 year veteran of the college, is the chief ac- counting officer. Maness works with students in secur- ing scholarships, grants, and loans. Glisson oversees the Bi- ble School Literature and Sup- ply House, seeking to secure new business and planning workshops for Bible school teachers. 52 Business Affairs Tom Davis, Vice President for Busi- ness Affairs.

institutional Advancement . . The Necessary Stuff institutional Advancement involves three departments - development, Alumni Rela- tions, and Public Information. The Office of Development is concerned with raising funds for the college. Such activities as the Annual Benefit Dinner and financial campaigns are the responsibilities of the Of- fice of Development. David Short serves as Director of Development. One of the major responsi- bilities of the Office of Alumni Relations is to keep alumni in- formed of college activities. Another responsibility is to co- ordinate the annual fund drive. J. Walker Whittle, Director of Alumni and College Relations, oversees alumni activities and is responsible for all published materials for the college. As the senior man in this wing of the college, Whittle de- scribes the best part of his work as making and visiting friends of the college. This is a fortunate assessment since much of the work of advance- ment deals with diverse off- campus audiences. Repre- senting the interests of F-HC to alumni, friends, parents, and the public, they also bring concerns of these groups to campus attention. Also serving in Institutional Advancement are Keith Dan- 54 Institutional Advancement Da vid Short, Director of Development. Photo by Kelly Beard. J.
