W. JOE HACKER, D.R.E. , President PEGGY BAKER, Sec. it Presi den t By restructuring the College's administrative apparatus and traveling tirelessly in money-raising efforts, Dr. Hacker made his second year a decisive one in the college's history. After intensive study, he initiated a program of firm control over the financial and administrative processes of LCC, a decision which began to turn the school around and to get it moving in the direction of positive change . New programs now functioning which Dr. Hacker has brought to LCC are the International Studies program in Europe and the Holy Land, and evangelistic campaigns to Brazil and several countries in Europe. The Mabee Founda- tion's challenge grant which the president negotiated has financed the building of the nearly-completed Mabee Stu- dent Activities Center. As a mark of his interest and concern for the students, Dr. Hacker has on several occasions this year opened his home to receptions and parties where students are invited to come and visit with him on an informal basis .
