College WThis crisis is a challenge-not a cause of despair. It is a time for building and the exercise of the creative abilities of a faculty dedicated to the concept of flexibility and innovation in the provision of a high quali- ty education to the students who seek a major offered by the College of Business and Economics? Based on this philosophy, D. G. Leeseberg, Dean of the College, has every confidence that the faculty will meet the challenge and continue to meet the major objectives of the University in the areas of effective teaching, creative research, and imaginative public service programs in the budget cutback situation. of Business and Economics D. G. Leeseberg, Dean BI am proud of the way the students in the College met the crisis of the burning of Old Main; of how they are meeting the challenge of relocation on getting that first job; of how they are meeting the crisis of promotion and the acceptance of new responsibilities; and of the confidence they demonstrate seeking their education at Whitewater. These students and the faculty of the College of Business and Economics look beyond the present crisis and continue to build toward future opportunity for themselves as a part of the University of Whitewater?

24-Cnmpus Life College of the Arts One of the major issues facing all the Colleges here at Whitewater, was the degree to which the cutting back of capital and faculty had affected their programs. For the College of the Arts, the reduction in capital, supplies, and services did not prove drastic due to the new modern facilities which had been provided. Everything had been done to provide the proper services and supplies for the univer- sity students. As a step in helping over- come some shortages, a lab fee in specified areas in art, such as ceramics, and sculp- ture was initiated. Faculty cutbacks did occur within the art and music department. However, the student credit production in the three departments; music, art, and theatre, justified the faculty they had. According to Doctor Light, continuing efforts will be made to maintain the vital programs in all departments with welI-qualil'ied staff. Unless severe reductions in the staff occur in the future, the College will be able to continue all programs. Ray moml E. Light. Dean

Although a further leveling off of the enrollment is expected in the next year, Dr. Stoneking stated that because of the out-of- state tuition, the increasing of high school graduates, and also due to Wisconsints con- cern for quality education at all levels, Whitewaterhs future looks very promising.
