OVER 700 ATTEND GALA EVENT

"I have asked to be relieved
from my responsibilities as Dean
of Student Affairs," said Olie T.
Brown. His successor as of this
June will be Gary Collins, presently the assistant Dean of Student
Affairs.
"1 initiated the move. I've been
thinking and praying about it for
a long time," explained Brown,
the only original faculty member
at CBC.
Feeling that the increased involvement of the student body
brings a . demand into his
office that he cannot handle, he
wanted to give his position to a
younger man.
"We're- cxtreiftciy fortunate U»
have a man who knows the students, loves the students, and is
respected by the students and
faculty members as much as
Gary Collins.   I would have felt
hesitant to leave if there wasn't
a man who could take my place
and do an even better job," said
Dean Brown.
After a Sabbatical leave with
his wife, Mrs. Sibyl Brown, head
librarian. Brown intends to return in a full-time capacity and
fill any needs at the college, including teaching.
Recommended by Dean Olie
Brown to Dr. James Staples,
President; and by Dr. Staples
to the Board of Trustees, Gary
Collins was accepted unanimously last Friday during the trustee
meeting. As of yet, he has not
had time to make plans with Dr.
Staples, but he is "very pleased
and excited" and looking forward to assuming responsibility
as Dean of Student Affairs .
The former dean of men and
sociology teacher has been at
CBC   since   1966  and   returned
this fall after a year's Sabbatical leave.
Dean Brown's leave will hopefully begin in September, to be
used for study, travel, or a
combination. The only dean of
the college at CBC's birth in
1950, Olie Brown became Dean
of Student Affairs in 1958 after
the creation of Academic Dean
divided responsibilities.
In that position, he has found
the greatest challenge and inspiration. 'The students have been
a blessing to me," said Brown.
"In whatever capacity I continue
in, I hopefully will still be close
to the students and can remain
the foreign student advisor.
"I've learned a great deal as
Dean of Student Affairs. I've seen
changes in the students. They
have become more independent,
more concerned, and perhaps
more compassionate."
