Communications Improved in All Areas PRESIDE T'S OFFICE Since Dr. Harvey accepted the job as president in July of 1971 , he has been most candid about his role as president and the problems that face HCJC . One might say that he views the position of president as tak- ing to the stump for the sake of the college . . . in attracting public support that is necessary for the college to grow. Dr. Harvey is an old hand at communicating. His experience as a journalist, annual sponsor, and high school superintendent has prepared him well. Dr. T. M. Harvey President He has improved communications with the faculty and staff by sending out a weekly newsletter, which is innovative. How- ever, it took them a while to get used to it. Weekly news articles in the local paper have given the public a view into all departments of the college. And a weekly radio program is reaching still more people with the facts about HCJ C . Harvey also goes to area high school Government classes so that he can keep a finger on the pulse of HCJC's future students. The unorthodox Harvey has put his own special brand on the HCI C presidency since assuming office by teaching classes in Speech, English for Foreign Students and coaching a golf team. He has also taught a graduate course at East Texas State University on the American Junior College. Harvey is President of Texas Eastern Athletic Conference, Secretary-Treasurer of the Texas Junior College Football Federation and a member of the Noon Kiwanis Club. In fact, Harvey at 50, could be referred to as the new breed of college president. Perhaps it is Harvey's mode of operation that has earned him the new breed title . Call him novel, or a new breed , or innovative , Tim Har- vey has begun to rewrite the story of HCJC. Ms. Cordie Lee Allen Secretary Mrs . Martha Spencer Clerk 155
