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

She is a full-time registered nurse and provides limited medical and nursing care for mildly ill students. These services are available beginning with the first day of classes each semester. Nurse Andrew ' s first objective is to give first aid to all students, and medical treatment on a limited basis with emphasis on the dormitory student who is away from home. Assisting Mrs. Andrews is her full-time secretary, June Jones. Ms. Jones keeps records of the students and their visits to the nurse. This year ' s first semester found the campus with a virtual epidemic of the chicken pox, which Nurse Andrews handled quite well. If things become serious, she advises the students of physicians in the local area, and if students are hospitalized, she visits to make sure everything is fine with them.

He is in charge of anything and everything having to do with accounting records, be it accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll clerk, NDSL clerk, senior bookkeeper and junior bookkeeper.

With the increasing use of computers in the business office, Mr. LeCroy is helping the school immensely.

Lee College is very fortunate to have a Registrar who is so willing and able to handle those problems and tasks which arise in her everyday schedule, while at the same time making Lee College a better place to attend.
