per cent pay hike for both faculty and staff this year, and 6 per cent next year. Although regarded by some as examples of mere tokenism, many faculty leaders saw these moves as a new spirit of cooperation and concern on the part of the administration. As the spring trimester began, faculty-administration relations settled back into their previous pattern of surface tranquility. However, the faculty is still seeking access to information on the university ' s budget priorities, as well as studying the feasibility of collective bargaining to cover future disputes with the administration. As the year drew to a close, Seaver College theater and fine arts students began protesting the lack of adequate facilities. Director of Theater Robert West resigned, saying the present facilities were sorely deficient. However, the school agreed to heed the student pressure and initiated plans for constructing a temporary theater facility and made completion of a permanent fine arts building the number one priority for Seaver College. Overall, the year was one of the newsiest in Seaver College history. In fact, many issues remain unsettled. Chancellor Young still faces the possibility of jail time for his conviction, the faculty plans to continue their activism in hopes of gaining a greater role in setting priorities for the university and many students have taken a wait and see attitude on the administrat ion ' s promises for improvement in theater and fine arts facilities. Undoubtedly, the rising tuition and the unsettled role of the Church of Christ in Pepperdine ' s future will keep Seaver College in the news again ne.xt year.
