Decker Fills Vacated Dean’s Office
By Jim Sirbaugh
Dean of Admissions Rodger W.
Decker said this week that he
considered his appointment as
Assistant Dean of the College for
Student Affairs as a “significant
challenge” in which he would “try
very hard to do a good job.”
Dean Decker explained that his
impressive new title entails,
among other things, assuming the
duties previously borne by the
Dean of Students. He said his ap
proach to student affairs could be
succinctly expressed:
“I believe firmly in student go
vernment, student freedom, and-
DECKER TAKES NEW POSITION
presenting a situation where stu
dents can grow and mature. I
believe equally firmly in the oth
er side of the equation which can
be summarized in one word —
responsibility. You can’t have one
without the other.”
Dean Decker continued that he
considered the polar extremes of a
no-holds-barred policy or an ad
ministrative dictatorship equally
repulsive.
“Rules and regulations can pro
vide good guidelines, but God gave
man a brain to thlnkwith and horse
sense is a good asset.”
Asked what he thought his obli
gation to the individual is in the
context of his new role. Dean Dec
ker said that it was to make the
total college experience a success.
“I must be friend, counselor, ad
viser, and must be willing to go to
bat for students and alert to their
suggestions; also a catalytic agent
between various student groups,
bringing student life programs In
harmony with academic life pro
grams.
He indicated that his responsi
bility to the studentbody as awhole
included the same obligations, as
they are in harmony with the basic
programs and purposes of the col
lege.
“The opportunities for develop
ing student life programs here are
limitless,” Dean Decker said.
