James & Betty Thorne, soon-to-be Capitol Campus "alumni.” He, neao of Registration, she, statistics professor, are both assuming higher positions in Tennessee. by Jim Bollinger Capitol Campus is losing its Registration Officer, and he’s taking his wife with him. James R. Thorne, head of Registration here for nearly three years, has resigned and accepted a position as Dean of Students at Covenant College in Tennessee. His wife, Dr. Betty Throne, an Assistant Professor of Statistics is, of course, going with him and will teach at both Covenant and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The couple will leave for their new home in Chatta nooga, Tenn. shortly after Spring graduation. As Thorne said, “As the Seniors depart from graduation, we’ll be departing for Tennessee.” Mrs. Thorne said that the positions had come as an unexpected fortune. She said they accepted the appointments as “profes sional promotions.” Covenant College is a small liberal arts school at Lookout Mountain (near Chattanooga). Thorne said that this new appointment will give him a chance to work in his career field of student affairs. He said that he will also work with registration at his new Hours Tues Fri 8 7 Sat 8 5 school. Mrs. Thorne will continue to teach statistic' as well as raise their nr family. Although they didn’t marry until the summer of 1973, the couple knew each other for several years beforehand. Mr. Thorne came to Capitol in the fall of 1972 in his present capacity as registration chief. His future bride elected to complete her doctorate studies at the Indiana University of Indiana. After their marriage, Mrs. Thorne came to Capitol to teach, Thorne has worked hard at improving Capitol’s registra tion system. He has turned what once was an archaic problem into a modern, computerized, relatively hassle-free system. He says that he thinks not much more can be done to improve the system until and unless University Park loosens its grip in this area on Capitol. Thorne was also instrt mental in the HACC Cooper ation ventures. Along with Doug Hargiss of HACC, he has pioneered a new system for ID cards independent of control by University Park. Mrs. Thorne began teaci ing statistics before com pleting the requirements fc her doctorate. She says hef work was about 95% finished when she came here. She went back to Indiana this past summer where she fulfilled her remaining requirements and attained her PhD. She began her career here in the undergraduate pro gram and is finishing it in the graduate program. For the past year, she has also been the Faculty Advisor for the C.C. Reader. This has been her first post-graduate teaching experience. Although they have enjoy ed working here at Capitol for the past two years, the Thornes said that the new positions were “an offer that was too good to refuse.” The couple feel that they have received excellent working experience here, and have been satisfied with their soiourn here.
