Thornes Go
To Term.
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

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.
