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?

College of Letters and Sciences The College of Letters and Sciences has been seeking ways to improve its effec- tiveness in education and community ser- vice. Even though there are many majors and minors in the College, it is adding and proposing several changes to make it possi- ble for students to better understand themselves and their role in society. Commencing next semester, a new course will be offered in Urban and Area Development. A course has also been proposed in Medical Records and Ad- ministration. In an attempt to give broader options to students, a revision of the basic studies has been suggested for the coming year. A general curriculum major would be permitted to design their own major program with the assistance and advice of a counselor. Everett Fulton, Dean of the College of Letters and Sciences, indicated there could possibly be a cutback of faculty members as a result of the budget situation, however, he did not foresee a curtailing of courses that would have a substantial stu- dent interest. The faculty of the College is continually proposing new ideas and changing old ones. Everett Fulton, Dean College of Letters and Sciences-27
