That's why the debate at last week's Academic Coun- w»_ AMI . cil meeting on what phase of faculty development, research or teaching techniques, deserves higher priority. The debate stems from a report of a task force on academic priorities and objectives that lists goals the admistration should consider when deciding priorities \vft for the 1980-81 budget. KM According to Dr. Genevieve E. Stang, associate pro- * fessor of education, the task force seems to support the notion of improvement in teaching skills, yet the f reference is to research. Stang added that if the University's emphasis is on teaching, then teaching techniques should be the priority of faculty development. However, some faculty-Dr. William R. Rock, pro- fessor of history, among the most vocal-said that there w hoJh seems to be some faculty who are more interested in teaching techniques than the substance of a course. He Wf toon nCT/fl said that a paid leave for research is more important than a leave to develop teaching skills. Why should either phase of faculty development have priority?

In the original version of the play, there are three different sets, Hansen explains, "but we are going with a unit set (a single set) that will suggest all these locations." The set is meant to represent a ship, which is carrying Wilder's family of characters through time, facing life's perils and surviving the end of the world, or the war. Hansen describes his design as "an ark traveling through time ac- cumulating debris (which is) not necessarily junk."
