College keeps sights on goal While the 1986-87 school year saw no specific changes in the University College curriculum. Dean Paul Valliere said students will see modifications within the next year. One major change will be a new dean. Valliere, dean for the past five years, re- signed to resume teaching in the 1987-88 school year. Valliere will serve as a full-time professor in the philosophy, religious studies department. However, despite proposed curriculum changes and a new dean. University College has not strayed from its original goal since the college ' s 1945 institution. Then and now, the goal is to develop in each student, a background of knowledge and a mental and moral discipline that is basic for all walks of life. The University College still provides a liberal education which the school consid- ers vital to well-rounded students. Other modifications Valliere hinted at in- cluded changes in the departmental honors program and the advising system. The Change and Tradition course, which has caused some student controversy, will continue to develop. I think that C T is one of the most flourishing and healthiest courses at Butler, but we would like to intro- duce more writing into the course, Valliere said. He also said that University College is reviewing the computer science and math core requirements. Each student is required, regardless of major, to take a three-hour Computers in the Modern World course plus one mathematics course. We don ' t want to add requirements, but instead make the requirements that exist in these areas more demanding, Valliere said. University College — adapting, changing, but never straying from its original goal — provides each student with a liberal educa- tion that will be useful no matter what career path one takes.
