DEAN JAMISGN RETIRES 1970-85 Going into his fifteenth year at Illinois College, Dean Jamison, is planning to retire from his posi- tion as Dean of the College and Professor of Histo- ry. Dean Jamison noted that he has had many memorable experiences here at Illinois College. However, the most unusual took place his first year as Dean when he had to monitor some stu- dents who were streaking up and down the street. On a more serious note, Dean Jamison re- flected, the demolition of Jones Hall and taking the documents from the corner stone there fol- lowed by the completion of Sibert, which was its replacement, was very memorable. Dean Jamison officially retired at the end of June from his position as Dean, but had been asked by President Mundinger to remain at the school for another month to help his replace- ment. As far as plans for after retirement, Nothing firm right now, but we like to travel and would like to do that, There is the possibility Dean Jamison may be taking another collegiate job in Alaska or even Indonesia as an advisor or a teacher. . The new face around the I . Computer Science Department ' V 4 A' was Mr. James Paul. Mr. Paul re- ' ceived his Bachelors Degree Q . from Illinois State University and 3 - his Masters Degree in math- ' ematical systems from Sanga- mon State. PAUL MART! CLARK RESIGNS '- 4 F i .- u , , , . 5 , . r 'f 'Q . Marti Clark, who completed her third year as director of admissions in July of 1984, has decid- ed it is time to move on. Marti turned in her resignation on October 1, 1984 but her decision to leave IC was hardly spon- taneous. She had been turning it over in her mind since February, when she spoke to President Mundinger. According to Marti, the occupation of admis- sions director is a gratifying one, but I could see the writing on the wall when it came to my ad- vancement here at IC. Marti was a student at IC and stayed on after graduation. In her place as admissions director will be Gale Vaughn. Meanwhile, admissions department is re- cruiting 1984 graduate Jim Butler into an entry level position with the admissions staff. Also join- ing the admissions staff during the fall of 1984 was Mark Hepworth, who replaced Kevin Martin, who accepted a position with the State of Illinois. All of the current admissions staff are alums of Illinois College. Karen Dean The Political Science Depart- ment acquired a new member this year. Prof. Karen Dean was cho- sen to replace Prof. Dick Schuldt. Prof. Dean came to us from Kent State where she received her mas- ter's in political science and is cur- rently working on her dissertation titled Judicial Decision Making.
