Arts And Sciences ice I mu The College of Arts and Science (CAS) was the first school of Temple University. Russell H. Con- well founded the school in 1884. Now, 101 years later, the school boasts 440 full-time faculty members, 21 departments, 5,000 full-time stu- dents and an annual budget of $27 million. And now Lois S. Cronholm has the responsibility for the entire college. Dr. Cronholm, an adminis- trator and researcher who had been dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Louisv ille, will hold that post here. President Lia- couras announced that Cronholm would officially take her position on July 1, 1985. Dr. Carolyn T. Adams served as acting dean after Dr. George W. Wheeler left Temple to serve as provost at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. President Liacouras lauded the work of Dr. Ad- ams. Carolyn Adams has served with distinction as acting dean. She will, at her request, return to her research and the classroom with the deep respect of her colleagues at Temple for a job well done, he said. World War II history buffs were thrilled with Dr. Russell Weigley ' s lecture series on the history and control of war. Dr. Weigley, 1984-85 Distin- guished Scholar in the College of Arts and Sci- ences, began the lectures on January 31 with The Second World War: A Multitude of Holo- causts. February 28 brought on Wars: Conven- tional and Unconventional since 1945: Problems of Limiting War with Special Emphasis on Korea, Israel and Vietnam. The Future of War closed the series on March 27. Closer to home, the college joined neighboring community groups and residents for a conference focusing on crucial issues facing North Philadel- phia. Conference Director Dr. Noel Cazenave, an associate professor of sociology, said Although nearly one out of every six Philadelphians lives in North Philadelphia, the popular image of the area IS not a good one. In fact, many non-residents don ' t know about the interesting history, culture and people of North Philadelphia and the positive things just starting to take place in this section of the city. The conference, held April 25 and 26, included papers, presentations, exhibits, competi- tions and cultural activities, and entertainment by North Philadelphia cultural institutions. Students in CAS were also on the move this year. Temple ' s chapter of the Society of Physics Stu- dents (SPS) was designated as an Outstanding Chapter by the SPS National Council. Only 32 of the 518 SPS chapters in the United States and Canada received the award, which is based on chapter activity as demonstrated through regular meetings and speakers, membership and out- standing projects. - Patrice M.

Allied Health Professions Mary Lee Seibert Dean, College of Allied Health Professions Gaining admission to the College of Allied Health is not an easy thing for Temple students to accom- plish. Students wishing to enter the school must first spend two years, either at Main Campus or Ambler, studying liberal arts. Students may apply to the school after their sophomore year. Allied Health limits the number of students it accepts every year. Health records administration admits 40, medical technology 40, nursing 75, occupational therapy 45 and physical therapy 60. However, once a student is admitted to the school he is introduced to a team approach to modern health care. That approach includes sharing courses that are common to more than one pro- fession, interaction among students to enhance their development of insights into each other ' s roles in the health care team and exposure to the actual medical environment. Allied Health consists of the five distinct programs mentioned above. But each program uses clinics of Philadlephia health care institutions for obser- vation. Students in occupational and physical therapy receive an additional 12 week summer placement in clinical education in locations throughout the country. The College of Allied Health, founded in 1966, sports over 48 full time faculty members. Various professional medical care societies have formed chapters on the Allied Health campus. In October the Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) hosted the fourth annual Health Fair. The fair, held in the Student Activities Center on Main Campus, offered free blood pres- sure, hearing, vision, speech and weight testing. Senior nursing major Teresa Hassler organized the fair. She explained that Generally, the fair was held to give people an awareness of their health. - Patrice M.

I - ; t . m ..V, i i H Business Administration Edward M. Mazze Dean, School ot Business Administration The School of Business Administration has under- gone many changes since its inception in 1918. It is one of only three accredited schools of business in the Delaware Valley. Among the changes this year was the appoint- ment of Robert L. Stafford as chairman of the Department of Computer and Information Sci- ences. The new chairman, who teaches courses on both graduate and undergraduate levels, re- ceived the Outstanding Teacher Award in 1982 from the student chapter of the Association for Computer Machinery. The Accounting and Tax Institute of the school, in conjunction with the Philadelphia district of the Internal Revenue Service, sponsored an all-day seminar on December 4. The seminar, entitled The Major Changes Contained in the Tax Reform Act of 1984, was designed to interpret the new federal regulations to accountants and other re- turn preparers in advance of the tax season. Beginning in the fall semester of 1985, a new graduate program will be added to the school. The new Executive MBA program will enable people to broaden their perspectives, update management skills and earn a Master ' s of Business Administra- tion degree while continuing their full-time job responsibilities. The program is fully accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. On his 70th birthday, George F. Rohrlich, profes- sor emeritus of economics and social policy, was named a Distinguished Member by the Associa- tion for Social Economics. In addition, the Interna- tional Institute of Social Economics, based in the United Kingdom, honored Dr. Rohrlich with the publication of a three-volume festschrift — a series of academic essays by over 25 colleagues, friends and former students in tribute to the noted scholar. - Patrice M.
