DIVISION VI SOCIAL SCIENCE The biggest happening in the Social Science Division was planning the new academic building to be built south of Wood-Mar. Ground break- ing took place near the end of spring term. The new facility will include classrooms and offices for the Social Sciences. Filling new classrooms shouldn ' t be a problem if Division VI keeps growing — enrollment in business courses in 1975-76 tripled over en- rollment of the previous year! John Freeman was professor of most business courses, but he decided to leave GFC to take a position in real estate securities in Salem, Oregon. Dr. Sheldon Louthan plans to move to Wichita, Kansas, where he will be director of a Center on Family Living — a new venture of Friends University. Dr. Lee Nash had a successful first years as chairman of Division VI, replacing the former chairman, Dr. George Moore, who retired last year.

President Le Shana worked hard in a nationwide effort to raise $3.7 million toward a new gymnasium and a fine arts chapel buildin 1 At the Tim and Roger concert, May 6, Dr. Le Shana announced ground- breaking for the sports complex would take place May 22. At that time $3.2 million had already come in. Our President often reminded us to seek the Lord ' s guidance as the campus expanded, and that God deserved all glory for advances made. If any job could be called an enabling ministry, it was the dean ' s job. The Dean of the Col- lege, Dr. William Green, promoted new learning in experiences like the Washington, D.C., miniterm; pro- vided planning for accreditations; encouraged faculty growth and de- velopment; engineered changes in a college on the move; and attract- ed quality teachers and students to the college. Student Affairs lost a talented, dedicated person, Linda Nay. She planned to visit L ' Abri for a time after finishing her work at Fox, and then continue her education in graduate studies. The Assistant Dean of Students, Gayle Buckley, also planned to pur- sue graduate work. He put in a lot of work, often unrecognized, and give of himself outside his job as well as in it. We found out just how much Chaplain Ron Crecelius meant to us as we helped pray him through a case of pneumonia winter term. He didn ' t let it dent his smile, though!
