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.

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

DIRECTOR OF HOUSING m LARRY PEMBERTON Heading up the area of Housing and Residential Life is Mr. Larry Pemberton. As the director of Housing he oversees the assigning of dorm rooms to new and returning students and han- dles regulation of all the dorms. As the director of Residential Life, he deals with the spiritual, social, academic and physical life of the students as they relate to the residence halls. Larry has the almost im- possible task of seeing that Lee College makes dormitory life as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. Although in a college setting it is not possible to grant all the liberties which students sometimes enjoy at home, he seeks to provide them with a close alternative. Another thing that Larry has done this year was to take on the task of being a dorm supervisor. This is the first time in the history of the college that a member of the administration has taken over this position. You can be sure that after this year he will be better able to evaluate dorm life. The men of Hughes Hall particularly those living on the second floor have spared no expense in giving Larry the vital experiences that are necessary to fully understand this thankless position. In addition to being on full-time staff here at the college, he also finds time to take his comedic ministry on the road. He has come up with a humorous character by the name of Rufus T. Shagnassty. Larry uses this act to warm up the crowd and then hits them with the truth of God ' s Word. Thus far he has been very successful and will be doing many youth camps and teen seminars this summer as a result. DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL AID As a part of Student Services, Mr. Bill Winters, the Director of Financial Aid plays a vitally important and popular part at Lee College. The Financial Aid Office is dedicated to finding a way for any student or potential student who wants to come to Lee to get the financial means necessary to attend Lee. This is made possible through loans, grants and scholarships. Bill Winters and his office staff, in determining an applicant ' s need for financial aid, utilizes the financial need analysis of College Scholar- ship Service. In order to continue to receive federal funds the college is required to certify that the student has made satisfactory progress. Mr. Winter ' s office is located on the third floor of the Higginbotham Administration Building. It is here where over 75% of Lee ' s students receive some sort of Financial aid, whether it be Pell Grants, College Work Study Programs, Guaranteed Student Loans, or National Direct Student Loans, to name a few. The Financial Aid office is willing to help students in every way that is possible to them. This office is one dedicated in serving the students. It takes the dedication and loyalty of people like Bill Winters and his office staff who see their jobs as a ministry in the Kingdom of God, to make Lee College the fine institution that it is.
