Division of Humanities The HUMANITIES DIVISION made several important contributions to Lambuth this year. The most significant of these was its contribution of an academic dean to the college from this division. Gpon the appointment of former English department chairman Dr. Charles Mayo to vice President and Academic Dean, Dr. Bob Hazlewood has very capably filled the position of chairman of the English department. In addition, Dr. Annie Lou Smith has returned to teach two English composition classes. Another exciting development is the new major in broadcast communications which will be offered in the fall of 1984. In order to prepare for this major, Mr. Dalton Eddleman was away on sabbatical; and Mr. Rodney Higgenbotham, visiting assistant professor of speech, came to fill Mr. Eddleman ' s vacancy. Other changes within the department included the appointment of Marcia Mittelstadt as Director of Vocal and Choral Activities. The Division suffered some loss this year. Joanna Ross resigned after 22 years at Lambuth to return to studio artwork in Nashville. Mr. Larry Ray was appointed chairman of the art department in her place. Because of Mr. Ray ' s yearlong sabbatical, the college hired four part-time faculty members to cover the teaching loads: Susan Foote, DeNe Tyson, Talle Johnson, and Lendon Noe. Dr. Russell M.

Division of Natural Sciences The NATURAL SCIENCE DIVISION welcomed two new faculty members this year: Dr. David Hawkes, associate professor of chemistry, and Ms. Peggy Birmingham, assistant professor of health and physical education, who also coaches the women ' s basketball team. An important addition to the division was the new color terminal and printer in the computer center. This terminal was used primarily for teaching the color graphics class. The faculty members in the division were busy attending meetings and conferences around the area. Also, they welcomed recruiters from graduate schools who are interested in the spring graduates. Plans were made for inviting other off-campus guests from the U.S. Department of Energy to speak on such topics as automation and nuclear wastes. Dr. Ronnie C.
