NEW LEADERSHIP JSU Staff Helps The Students There are many JSU staff members who keep in tune with campus activities. Some endeavor to improve existing programs, some are beginning new ones, while still others keep working to maintain departmental efficiency. On our campus, many social functions take place at or near the same time followed by gaps in which nothing seems to happen. To minimize this, written records are being made that pinpoint key events taking place during the year. These records will be used next year in a meeting between Dean Miriam Higginbotham, Associate Dean of Students, and those responsible for scheduling to program a more even, chronological spacing between activities. Craig Schmitt is JSU's new Director of Residence Life. He has most recently worked for the University of Georgia as Resident Life Coordinator. Schmitt is heading new programs in which graduate level students serve as HaH Directors. Rather than seeing the closeness in age as a drawback, he considers it to be a potential bond. Donald Schmitz is the Dean of Student Affairs. He listens, makes recommendations, and helps students to get in touch with those who can help with their problem, Dean Schmitz takes care of student discipline when campus rules are broken. He says, We are personal educators. We should teach, and help students to develop, even in terms of discipline. He also feels that student life and activities are an important part of the student process. —Janette Chambers— 8 THEME
