Rev. Grady Whicker Resigns
As Brevard College Dean
Rev. Grady H. Wicker, Doan
of Brevard College, recently an
nounced his resignation, effec
tive shortly after the end of
this academic year. At Brevard
since 1968, Dean Whicker has
been a popular and effective
administrator in his years of
service here.
Dean Whicker will become
Dean of the Oxford Orphanage,
located 29 miles north of Dur
ham, N. C. He will Work close
ly with the staff of counselors,
and lead them toward their re
sponsibilities in the develop
ment of rapport with the chil
dren. The- orphanage includes
youth from age four through
high school age, and enrolls
300 young people in a strong
educational program.
Dean Whicker seeks to “help
the kids become aware of their
talents,” and “to help them to
become all they are capable of
being.” He sees a major need
for helping the orphans feel
that they are important in the
eyes of others, and that some
body cares. To produce a home
like environment for these
students and help them to over
come the emotional problems
of being an orphan is Dean
Whicker’s goal.
Dean Whicker calls his new
job “just too good to turn down,”
as it will make good use of
his love for working with chil
dren; He feels that it will of
fer liim a better chance than
ever to work intimately with
young people, and to take ad
vantage of his background and
training in the field of coun
seling.
Dean Whicker admits he has
mixed feelings about leaving
Brevard, and feels that Brevard
is “on the way up.” He sees a
bright future for the College,
and feels that future students
will have a fine opportunity to
take advantage of Brevard’s
outstanding faculty, staff, and
overall program.

Lionel Lewis is #
a health physicist.
He works for you.
His job is to make certain that our new
nuclear-electric generating stations are safe
—for our personnel, for the public, and for
our environment.
v And he's highly qualified to do the job.
Only oneoutof six health physicists has risen
to "certified" status. Lionel Lewis, who has
been working with nuclear power for 17
years, has achieved that distinction.
As a member of Duke Power's staff,
• Lionel works closely with our engineers in the
design, construction, and operation of our nu
clear plants. He is involved with monitoring
the radiation levels of the plant and compo
nents (such asthemiclear fuel assembly in the
photo above). He also makes other extensive
studies including.the natural radiation that al
ready exists in the air, water, vegetation, earth
and even wild animals near our plant sites, t
The goal of our scientists: the most effi- '
dent operation with uncompromising total
safety. As a result of their efforts, the radi
ation from our nuclear plants will be much
less than from an ordinary TV set. And this is
only a small fraction of the amount deter
mined to be safe by the International Com
mission on Radiological Protection.
Duke Power's team of environmental
scientists are making sure we stay good neigh
bors—to you and to Mother Nature.
