James Roever, Dean Coliege of Letters 8: Sciences Dr. Roever joined the Universtiy in August as Dean of the College of Letters 8: Sciences and Professor in the De- partment of Communication and, after many years, is re- turning to his home state of Wisconsin. He has expressed respect for the University of Wisconsin System and, in his first year here, has developed strong positive feelings about the students and faculty of UW-Whitewater. He brings to the University a philosophy that is supportive of the liberal arts component of higher education training and a belief that careertprofessional training and liberal arts training are not mutualiy exclusive but can and should co- exist. He believes that most students are going into multi- career lives and that they should be broadly prepared to cope with a variety of jobs. It is his belief that throughout the eighties we will see increased emphasis on the broad- ening intellectual and general enrichment components of higher education; although ttliberal artstt training takes place in many areas of the University, it is in the College of Letters 8: Sciences that this emphasis becomes pre- dominant.

Raymond Light, Dean College of The Arts The outstanding facilities at the Center of The Arts con- tinue to be the focal point for a wide variety of cultural, dramatic, and musical offerings by the UW-Whitewater campus. There students work closely with experienced instructors in sharpening their various skills. Oftentimes those skills are Hisplayed in recitals, onstage produc- tions, and art shows at the popular Crossman Gallery. The Center also serves as the setting for other major events, such as the State High School Music Festival. The facilities in the CA include Barnett Theatre, Recital Hall, and Experimental Theatre, each one playing an important part in the success of the College of The Arts. The College also serves the Whitewater communi- ty. Utilizing the talents found on campus, Barnett The- atre has been the scene of productions such as tTWest Side Story, uGuys and Dolls, and hot Mice and Men.
