The College Seeks A New Direction LEE GETS A NEW PRESIDENT Dr. Charles W. Conn assumed the of- fice of President of Lee College in the Fall of 1970. He is faced with the neces- sary task of expanding Lee College to meet the demanding aspects of a changing world. Dr. Conn has proven himself a capable leader in many areas of the church, most recently serving as General Overseer of the Church of God. Exhibiting a genuine concern for the students, Dr. Conn seems to have grasped the reins of government firmly in his hand. We, the Student Body of Lee College, welcome Dr. Charles W.

At the time of his appoint- ment to Lee College, the school was restructured into a four-year Liberal Arts College with three divisions: Arts and Sciences, Religion, and Teacher Education. Dr. Aultman helped im- mensely in piloting the new program toward full accreditation by the South- ern Association of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools. This year, Dr. Aultman was selected for inclusion in the twelfth edition of AMERICAN MEN OF SCI- ENCE, BEHAVORIAL SCIENCE DIVI- SION.

Appropriate reaction to each of these domains of academia is essential to responsible leadership. 25

Active concern has been shown in the administration to create more dialogue between students and itself, as is shown in the following statement by the Vice-President and Dean of Lee College. The Lee College student is an un- usual person. He is generally equal in intelligence and maturity to other col- lege students I have met, but is far above the average in dedication. I am constantly amazed at the tremendous spirit, loyalty, and cooperativeness of Lee College students. On the subject of student power, I would suggest that a first question which must be considered is whether the college will take the place of the parent while the student is in college residence. It appears that the parents of Lee students expect the col- Dr. Horace Ward, J r., DEAN OF STUDENTS Stanley Butler, DEAN OF ADMISSIONS AND REGISTRAR 27
