Such is the case with Friends University. Dean Raymond Nelson said it best when he described the College of Arts and Sciences as the vehicle through which liberal arts are expressed. the undergraduate level, the masters pro- grams are expanding as are the HRM pro- grams. Most of the programs are fairly sta- ble, and though enrollment was down this year, with increased scholarship opportuni- ties, an upward trend in enrollment should be evident soon. There are tour basic divisions in the College of Arts and Sciences: Religion and Humanities, Fine Arts, Education and Behav- ioral Sciences, and Natural Sciences. The College of Arts and Sciences benefits the entire student body since it is the base of learning at the university. All students no matter what their major will take a great deal of liberal arts classes to fulfill their general education or just to learn about a different area in which they have an inter- est. The College of Arts and Sciences is not one that students will immediately ap- preciate, but ln the long run, they will be glad for the broad base of learning it pro- vides. -- by Tami Terry.

J ei B usiness. This term brlngs fear of the unknown to some of the students at Frlends. It brings the image of stern-faced men ln navy blue, three-piece suits sitting around a conference table plottlng their next corporate acquisition. But to many business majors, lt means much more. The faculty of the Business College are not the stereotyped .unscrupulous executives out to capture the financial world. Business faculty are con- stantly learnlng and changing as the business community changes. Marti Allen has been studying artificial intelligence and has reached the dissertalntlon stage of her doctorate. Ron Ryan has been wrltlng an accounting textbook. Dr. Bill Brooks and Dr. Pat Allen have been busy creating a business communications book, as well as writing for publications about their research and consulting. Joyce Wood ls ln the midst of a doctoral program in information systems. Aside from Individual pro- jects, members of the faculty have been attending conferences and bulldlng the natlonal reputation of the Friends College of Business.
