DIRECTOR OF DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL SERVICES STUDENT TEACHING Mrs. Lucille Walker is the director of Special Services. This is a Title IV Program that centers mainly around students who are potentials for dropping out because of difficulties they may be hav- ing in classes. Special Ser- vices has a very good reten- tion rate. Of those who a- vail themselves of Special Services, a large percent- age remain in school with newfound hope. The office of Special Ser- vices offers a variety of col- legiate services designed to increase the opportunities students have to success- LUCILLE WALKER fully complete their college education. Participants in the program are selected on the basis of personal, economic, academic, physical and cultural factors. Each student, after becoming a part of the services and special opportunities provided by this department. Some of the services provided include a variety of educational assistance, from reading labs to personal tutors. Tutoring is a major part of Special Services. Students with difficulties in any given subject from music to mathematics are able to have personal or group tutors. This enables the student to un- derstand any of the problems he may be having. Under the leadership of Sister Walker who graduated with a B.A. from Scarritt College and an M.A. from George Peabody, she sees her job as a special ministry in the kingdom of God. With an attitude such as that, it ' s no wonder the Special Services program has prospered as it has. Dr. Jim Bilbo is Lee ' s Director of Teacher Educa- tion. Dr. Bilbo feels that teaching techniques have a lot to do with how well a student will perform. The typical lecture technique is not used as much anymore. Visual aids, such as films, slides, videos, and models are proving to be more effective in helping students grasp what ' s being taught. Although an educator by profession, Dr. Bilbo labels himself a farmer at heart; he enjoys raising cows and horses and listening to country music. He has to remember quite a way back when he was not at Lee. He attended Lee as a student for three years and has been on the faculty for 24 years, moving through the ranks to where his present position is as Director of the Teacher Education Program. i ■ 1 JIMMY BILBO f . m A h ij» - , ' ..

The Department of Behavioral Sciences D. Rahamut During the past few decades, the interest in social and Behavioral Sciences has experienced a tremendous boost. People have begun to study about themselves. They want a better under- standing of their inner emotions, reactions, and of the implications that the cause of these have in history. This past year, Bill Balzano, chairman of the department, received his Ph.D. from the University of Alabama. He says now that he ' s a doctor, people expect him to act differently. He claims he ' s still the same person he always was, but students have noticed a slight swagger to his walk. Bob Fisher, determined not to be outdone, began his Ph.D. program at W. Snell the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He says that being a teacher had caused him to see the classroom experience in a whole new perspective — and has made him a much better student. Mr. Fisher got married this past March and students have noticed a change in his walk, too — there ' s a spring in his step. Dr. Paul Conn, although busy with his responsibilities as Vice-President of Institutional Advancement, still managed to teach a class in the department. Dr. Conn enjoys the challenge of his current position, but he plans to return to full- time teaching eventually. Karen Mundy carried the ball for Sociology this year while Murl Dirksen taught in the People ' s Republic of China. P. Conn Dr. Dirksen is due back in August and Ms. Mundy will be relieved to pass his share of the load back. Now, if she can just finish her dissertation. . . . History continued its march, led by its two patriots, David Rahamut and Dr. Bill Snell. When he wasn ' t extrapolating on American History, Mr. Rahamut spent time on the evangelism trail conducting revivals. Dr. Snell stayed a little closer to home continuing his local history column in the CLEVELAND DAILY BANNER. The Department sponsored the HOME- WORK ' 85 conference on Christian par- enting which was held this past April. Along with departme ntal personnel, noted speakers such as Kevin Leman and 28
