In the context of this reappraisal, -Provost John Deutch has convened a committee to evaluate what opportunities we are providing - and what oppotunities we could be -providing - for doing, studying, and observing the arts at MIT. A few of the topics that the committee has begun to consider: · the relationship between academic programs in the arts and related cocurricular activities. D the need for significant increases in rehearsal and performance space for the performing. · a possible merger of the current Music Section with the academic progams in Drama and in Dance. I the recent decline in faculty and resources devoted to the traditional visual and related arts, despite a sustained, high, and unmet student demand for classes in these areas. The forum on Thursday, which is being sponsored by the UA and the GSC, will give you a means to voice your opinions directly to members of ,the committee. i~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ATTENTION UA Elections Student Center 4th Floor Renovation OPEN FoR UMS Mar 3 7-9 pm Elections are Wednesday, March 11.
