Vice-president Rhode returns to teaching Dr. Robert D. Rhode Vice-President and Dean of the University William C English Vice-President for Fiscal Affairs Dr. Robert D. Rhode, vice-president and dean, is retiring from 25 years of administrative work to return to teaching and research. For nine years he has been vice-president. Previously he had served 11 years as Dean of the Graduate School and five years as English De- partment chairman. He joined the faculty 30 years ago, serving con- tinuously since except for a three year war leave. During his term as vice-president and dean, Rhode says, I’ve been a part of many constructive projects at A L They have all been cooperative enterprizes with fellow administrators, the faculty, students and alumni.” Among the improvements and additions to A I’s academic life have been the addition of majors in Sociology, Secretarial Science, Data Processing, Agricultural-Economics, Drama, Geography, Journalism, and Speech and Hearing Therapy. The School of Agriculture has remodeled its curriculum, and three master’s degrees (in Business Administration, Engineering and Music) have been added to the older M.S. and M.A. One of the programs Rhode is proudest of is the Bilingual Studies program. He originated the program in which students can take a substantial number of courses taught in Spanish in agri- culture, business administration and engineering. The program has not yet graduated any students, but about 35 are enrolled in it. Upon their graduation they will be certified in capable of working profes- sionally in two languages. Another source of satisfaction has been the development of the Faculty Senate and adoption of standards on academic freedom, ten- ure and faculty evaluation. Rhode says his biggest disappointment has been lack of better funding to improve the quality of education still further. Dr. W. Floyd Elliott Vice-President for Student Affairs

0 e Presidential dudes require Dr, Jernigan to appear at by the Music Department for area high school stu- many college-related functions. Here he greets a win- dents ner at the annual summer Twirling Camp sponsored New school calendar established by President Jernigan and Staff One of the problems President James C. Jernigan and his staff faced this year was changing the administrative gears of the university so that transition to a new calen- dar system went smoothly. They found that Christmas was the bus- iest time of the year with the end of the fall semester reports for students and facul- ty and the year-end reports due at state and federal agencies. Under the new calendar system the first semester was completed on December 22, 1970. The semester started late in August, and the second semester ended earlier in May than in prior years. The change was adopted because it was felt by both faculty and students that hav- ing to leave on a long Christmas vacation and then return only to take final examina- tions was poor, awkward and inefficient planning. Students and faculty members prefer finals before Christmas and felt this new system to be the best for everyone. The Calendar Committee met in the fall of 1970 and set up the new calendar for a year in advance. Members of the Calendar Committee included students, faculty and the chairman, Dean Robert D. Rhode. The Calendar Committee also revised the summer calendar in consideration of the new public school policy which has adopted a 10-month teaching program. The length of the summer sessions will be reduced, but the time spent in each class will be extended. Dr. James C. Jernigan, President, Directors J. C. Martin, Jr., president E. S. Joslin, vice-president Lewis W. Maples, secretary-treasurer William H. Atkinson Everett Braden Mrs. Richard M. Kelberg, Jr. Laurence A. McNeil Dr. Hesiquio Rodriguez LeoJ. Welder
