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

College of Education Dr. Stoneking, Dean of the College of Education felt very optimistic that Whitewater has a very bright future despite the anticipated financial cutback. 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.

The Frustration Of Registration Once again UW-Whitewater gave students the opportunity to prove their masochistic tendencies by holding registra- tion. For those who were fortunate enough to get 8 am registration times, they were greeted in those early hours by the moon . . . . Yes, through the magic of year long daylight savings time the moon was up and shining at 8 am although most of the registering students were not. The normal hassles of registration reign- ed supreme again. Sections closed too soon to suit most people, endless lines of im- patient students waited for the faculty to get back from their coffee breaks, and the ultimate intimidation, having to pay for it all at the end. Most students sat back afterward, grateful it was over, and leery of what was to come in the next semester. 28-Campus Life
