LION BACKER 18 A familiar face on campus, at pep rallies, or in the lunch line is that of University President Dr. Robert M. Guillot. He definitely does not fit the stereotype of a university president. What other such official would be known as Uncle Bob or volunteer to teach in a regular classroom situation? Based on the premise that Students Come First, Dr. Guillot has instituted what is known as the Open Door Policy, allowing time each day for students to meet with him in his office. Though it is designed to give students a link with the administration, Dr. Guillot reports that few students take advantage of the policy. Besides his efforts to stay in touch with individual students. Dr. Guillot has tried to establish a rapport with campus organizations. Through meetings with various groups, he maintains contact with their needs and interests. Since Dr. Guillot accepted his position, enrollment has increased, the Greek system has been implemented, and the University ' s name has been constantly in the public eye. Positive action has been taken to make the campus an educationally conducive and aesthetically pleasing environment. More recent changes which have been less popular include removal of the benches in Memorial Amphitheater, and destruction of Morrison Avenue House. To further implement Dr. Guillot ' s improvement goals, acquisition of new buildings and property, and minor renovations in present buildings are included in future plans.
