DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND ALUMNI Gerald Redman serves the college as Director of De- velopment and Alumni. As a member of the adminis- trative council, Mr. Redman helps to get new projects planned, funded, and com- pleted for Lee College. Among other tasks, Mr. Redman is the Director of the school ' s Alumni Associ- ation. This Association is composed of over 17,000 alumni in state chapter organizations. Increasing educational costs have forced Alumni to consider methods for better coordinating chapter activities. Special attention is being given local chapters. The Director of Alumni Affairs, Redman aims toward a goal of many local groups, all working and contributing annually their fair share toward institutional growth. The betterment of Lee College ' s campus facilities is another of Redman ' s tasks. By doing this, the students can get the best education their money can buy anywhere, at any price. Redman plays an important role linking our local churches and the college. He is very visible at the General Assembly, making people aware of the great things happening at Lee. His theme song during the year could be On the Road Again as he travels and ministers in churches across the nation. It ' s great to have such a professional person out and around representing our school in such a fantastic way. His efforts are felt directly here on campus as they fund a good portion of all the constant improvements. Praise the Lord for dedicated men such as Gerald Redman. — Holly Roush GERALD REDMAN DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS AND FINANCE One of the more familiar faces on the Lee College campus is that of Mr. David Painter. Mr. Painter is the Director of Business and Finance here at Lee College. Mr. Painter received his Masters degree in Business Administration, at the Middle Tennessee State University. {ML In addition to this he is also I a Certified Public Accountant. j ami As Director of Business I MM and Finance, Mr. Painter is kan J the one that oversees the B massive task of budget I control. It seems everyone wants their requisitions to be given first priority, with no exception. The computers in the Business office and the more than competent staff help immensely in this area by handling the countless transactions and keeping track of all pertinent information. Mr. Painter feels God has placed him here at Lee — a college with a Christian environment dedicated to Christian works and services. He could, without a doubt at all, get a better paying job elsewhere in the business community, but none with better fringe benefits! While working here, he feels he is able to serve Jesus Christ and he can also promote the gospel. Mr. Painter intersects with students and staff on a regular basis and does quite well at it. Since he acts as personnel officer of the college, he is well known to the staff. He is available to the students on this campus who need him, and plays an active role in his church and community. With a record Mr. David Painter has going, he will be a familiar and appreciated face on the Lee College campus for a long time. DAVID PAINTER

DEAN OF ADMISSIONS DEAN OF STUDENTS One of Lee College ' s favorite personalities is Dr. Stanley Butler. Dr. Butler received his B.A. at Jacksonville State Univer- sity, his M.A. and Ed.S. at George Peabody College and his Litt.D. at Lee College. Dr. Butler is a Professor of Education and serves as Lee College ' s Dean of Admissions and Records. His responsi- bilities include encouraging prospective newcomers, ac- cepting applications and retaining the present stu- dents. His role also includes the registration process. This has been an excel- STANLEY BUTLER PAUL DUNCAN lent year. Dr. Butler felt there was a more sincere sense of unity among everyone. There is a closer tie between students, faculty and administration. All are working for the same cause. Dr. Butler is optimistic because of the gradual increase in enrollment and due to the tutorial programs and academic advising the retention rate is improving. Another reason for his optimism is because . . . Dr. Vest and Dr. Conn have generated new ideas and initiative to help with recruitment and retention of the students. Dr. Stanley Butler visits other college campuses frequently and is always anxious to return. The longer I stay at Lee, the more I see how outstanding our students really are . . . I ' m sold on Lee College students. Paul Duncan is Lee Col- lege ' s Dean of Students. Counseling, testing and student activities are just a few of his responsibilities. Dean Duncan graduated from Mississippi State Uni- versity with a B.A. and from the University of Tennessee with a M.S.S.W. Paul Duncan views this year as having gone well. The new president has brought a great deal of enthusiasm. He was well received by the students. Dean Duncan sees students this year, as compared to students a few years ago, as more liberal. Our stu- dents reflect the background and culture they come from. There has been a change in the church and therefore our student body has changed. He also sees this year ' s students more interested in making good grades and receiving good jobs after college than the students a few years ago. Regardless of all his responsibilities, Dean Duncan is viewed by many students as the one behind all disciplinary actions. It bothers me a great deal . . . most of my time is spent on positive activities. There are the same behavioral problems at Lee as there were a few years ago, but Dean Duncan stresses . . . (the problems) are quite small compared to the good things. I would really be open to suggestions as to how the Dean of Students Office could be of more assistance to the students. Dean Duncan sees this job as what God wants him to do in his life. I see this as an opportunity to work for the Kingdom. Dean Duncan describes his work as sometimes pleasant, sometimes unpleasant, always challenging.

DIRECTOR OF CHRISTIAN SERVICES DIRECTOR OF CONTINUING EDUCATION CHARLES BEACH Charles Beach is the man in charge of the Christian Services Offices. Included in this office is the witness training involving many dif- ferent areas, including door- to-door witnessing, nursing home ministry, prison minis- try, hospital ministry, child evangelism and visitation to shut-ins. Dr. Beach does more than just instruct the students in the techniques, he actually accompanies them to the various places of evangelism. He is usually out and about daily with Lee students going into homes, jail and hospitals. Dr. Beach also finds time in his schedule to teach in the Language Arts Department. His courses include French and English for non-native speakers. Beach adds spice to the faculty and staff at Lee College. He always has a kind word for all those around him. He feels a sense of urgency to reach the unsaved and unreached in today ' s world. With men such as Dr. Beach, the graduates of Lee who have had evangelism training under his supervision are able to face the largest of tasks. We appreciate Dr. Beach ' s example. He is the man who leads the entire campus in prayer before chapel services. He is the man who takes each need seriously. Psalm 1:1 states, Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and His law doth he meditate day and night. Truly, Dr. Charles Beach is such a man. — Lori Jordan RAY H. HUGHES, JR. Ray H. Hughes, Jr., is the man behind the Continu- ing Education Department. This Department was formed for those persons wishing to complete college pro- grams, yet for some reason are unable to attend col- lege. The Department has been quite effective in pro- viding an alternative for such students. This program is structured so as to allow students to pick their own time and rate of study. Since most of the students are fully employed at jobs in their communi- ties, Continuing Education provides an ideal service for those working people still inter- ested in higher education. The cost is less expensive than regular college tuition, and being a fully accredited program, the credit earned is recognized at any other college or univer- sity in the country. Ray H. Hughes, Jr., is the chairman for the Continuing Education Department. It takes someone with the desire to see his job as a ministry in this position, and Mr. Hughes has been the one to do this with an utmost in excellency. Mr. Hughes and his office staff have helped to make the Continuing Education Department one of the fastest growing departments at Lee College. The course offerings are quite wide ranged including Religion, English, Education, Mathematics and many others. The success of this department and its graduates have been brought forth by Mr. Ray H. Hughes, Jr., who is the backbone of the Continuing Education Department.
