ARCHITECTURE Dean John W. Hill The School of Architecture, the University ' s newest col- lege, opened this fall with a faculty of four and an enroll- ment of 54 first-year students. The school is now located in building DD in the gulch; however, a new building will tentatively be completed by September, 1970. No oflBcial curriculum has been set up for the five-year architectural program as yet, but a studio course in the processes of design is now being offered and more courses will be added next year. Dean John W. Hill hopes to limit required courses to create a wide selection of professional electives from the School of Architecture and other colleges. In giving stu- dents as much freedom as possible, they are able to de- velop their own interests and still remain within the range of the program. Instituting a master ' s program is also part of Dean Hill ' s future plans. The growth of the school will reflect the changing role of the architect in modem society. Architecture does not refer just to the planning of a single building, but in- volves complex systems of community plarming, Hill said. The goal is not just the creation of a single work of beauty, but the enhancement of the quality of life. 27

Though first established in 1947 to offer evening courses to area adults, its operations now cover over 5,000,000 square miles in 24 countries on four continents. The college ' s overseas programs, designed mainly to ex- tend University services to government personnel in foreign countries and servicemen stationed abroad, now offer two degrees — a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Military Studies. One unique aspect of this world university is that it claims its own flying dean. Since 1952 when he became dean of University College, Dr. Ray Ehrensberger has clocked over 4,000 hours in prop-planes, spending nearly six months a year overseas observing and directing the col- lege ' s numerous operations. In October the United States Air Force honored Flying Dean Ehrensberger with the highest civilian award, citing him as the man chiefly responsible tor initiating the pro- gram which has enabled 17,000 servicemen to earn de- grees abroad. 26 Dean Ray Ehrensberger
