The lllhiz Kids g . Unknown to many students at Lee is the formidable reputation our business students have in competition. For the past several years, these whiz kids have won more awards than any other college or university in the statewide student competitions. In 1979, an accounting student placed fourth in national competition, and in 1979, a business student was awarded third place in the national competition. These awards speak highly of these students, but it also reflects the quality of education they received from Dr. Rowe and the other instructors in the Department of Business.

. Minding Their 0wn Business . J' A .eg ' X 'A J--ff., Business Located in the Humanities Building is one of the largest areas of study, the Department of Business. The chairman of this growing department is Dr. Donald Rowe. Excited about the expansion of the Business Department, he attributes this growth to the general realization on the part of college students throughout the country that career opportunities and future economic security relate at least in part to having the ability to fulfill leadership roles in the business world and in the government. The Business Department has recently expanded its curriculum by offering several new courses and is currently planning significant efforts to strengthen the quality of instruction in the accounting major. Two new faculty members in business administration, Mr. Burns and Mr. Taylor, were added in 1979. Another important develop- ment in the Business department is the installation of computer terminals and computer science courses. The basic purpose of this program is to acquaint students with computers and equip them in data processing and problem solving techniques. Dr. Rowe projects further expansion for his department due to the developing positive attraction to the business major and the accounting major. He believes that a greater number of students will realize that a quality business education is available at Lee and will take advantage of it in increasing numbers. Left: tleft to right!
