Dr. Charles W. Mayo Assumes New Role as Dean Dr. Charles W. Mayo became the new Vice-President and Academic Dean of Lambuth College on July 17, 1983. A familiar face on Lambuth ' s campus, Dr. Mayo has been a member of the faculty since 1968. As a professor and chair- man of the English Department, he contributed much to the college in the years prior to his appointment as Vice-President and Academic Dean. He feels that his perception of the college has not changed since that appointment. Dr. Mayo believes that the only way to continue to make Lambuth an academic institution is daily attention to responsi- ble teaching and advising from the faculty, and daily applica- tion of the students with their minds and attitudes. Since Lam- buth ' s purpose of providing a sound education in a Christian environment advocates inclusion rather than exclusion, he af- firms that the personal attention of faculty to all students regardless of their academic background is a strong asset in maintaining Lambuth ' s academic standards. Some of Dr. Mayo ' s future plans to ensure this academic excellence in- clude a college-wide attendance policy and more emphasis on faculty time dedicated to student learning. Dr. Mayo received his Bachelor ' s Degree in English from Bethel College, two Master ' s of Arts degrees, in counseling and education from Murray State University and in English from George Peabody College with a minor in higher education. He and his wife, Ann, have three children: Clay, Ben, and Ginny. 22 Administration and Faculty

Admissions Office The admissions office underwent many changes in the ' 83 ' 84 school year. One of the most im portant changes was the appointment of Mr. Bob McLendon as the Vice President in charge of recruitment and Dean of Admissions. Cinder his leadership, the admissions office was extremely active this year. In addition to recruiting in the Tennessee-Kentucky area, the admissions counselors traveled to other states such as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, and Texas. Here on campus, they sponsored the Preview ' 84 programs and High School Day in order to encourage prospective students to visit the school. The admissions office has other new faces as well as a new leader. Robert Parker and Mary Clayton joined the staff last summer as admissions counselors. One other change in the admissions office was the move to include the financial aid office in the admissions department. Major emphasis was placed on publicity, with the new departmental brochures and posters designed to attract the attention of today ' s high school student. Mr. McLendon hopes that the new publications along with the extended travel will have beneficial results in enrollment in the future. -CT The admissions staff escorts prospective students on campus during High School Day.
