Eastern's Board of Regents approved the U!l ll!UHO� preliminary building and funding plans fora new recreational/intramural facility on the EMU campus and improvements to exist­ ing athletic facilities totaling $14.3 million. The University's current Bowen-Warner athletic facility is inadequate to meet the usage demands of EMU classes, the ath­ letic program, intramurals and recreation. In addition, the EMU Board of Regents endorsed the concept of a student and staff management committee to oversee the facility's use. The EMU Regents recommended a con­ tinuation of the architectural and financial planning for the facility. The University I • \ administration also was directed by the EMU Regents to seek legislative authori­ zation for con truction of the recreational/ intramural building.

By Bruce Maxwell Contributing Writer

Pe.. simistic and short-sighted educators have loudly proclaimed the death of the liberal arts as more and more students have sought curriculums which are specifically career-oriented. But Eastern ha actually enlarged rather than reduced the size of its liberal arts curriculum, creating new pro­ grams with greater career orientation while still retaining the traditional soundness of the liberal arts core . .. We've been making an effort. I think at least somewhat successfully, to develop within the liberal arts programs that are more specifically career-oriented than those traditionally found in the liberal arts area," said Dr. Donald Drummond. dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. .. It wasn·1 so many years ago that most of the liberal arts people took pride in the fact they were not preparing people for specific jobs, but were trying to produce ·whole· people, round them out, give them a good background for life out of which eventually specific vocational interests and probably specific vocational preparations would grow. "This general philosphy seemed to work seem to be looking for people with specific pretty well for a while, and maybe there are skills.

By Frank Weir Eastern Editor With the start of the decade of the '80s, EMU's College of Human Services is completing its first five years of operation. And, as our society and the individual within it place a greater emphasis on health care, the college's prospects forthe decade are good. "I don't see this college having trouble attracting students at all," says Dr. Robert Boissoneau, dean of the college. "I think we're very conscious of health in our soci­ ety today. People are more aware of their health, of going to theirdoctor and having a check-up. And that means if the doctor ees that many more patients, he'll need another nurse or, receptionist.

Counselors would re­ ceive instruction in evaluating skills of the handicapped and assisting their clients in adjusting to the world of work. Boissoneau adds that graduates in these new programs would be cross-trained be­ tween liberal arts, human services, sci­ ences and perhaps another area. "We can't do everything by ourselves and we wouldn't want to. That's really not good education in human services. The more we can get out around campus and develop working relationships with other depart­ ments and colleges, the better education our students will receive."

The report stated that there is little duplication between engineer­ ing education and technology education. Graduates of s ch a college would fill positions open in middle management, be­ tween the technician with an associate 's degree and a highly-trained graduate of an engineering school. The report states, "The need for creating the new inter­ mediate position between technicians and engineers results from the fact that much work is too complex for a technician to handle and not challenging enough for highly educated engineers." The report adds that such a situation can lead to employee dissatisfaction with job content. job responsibilities and dissatis­ factionwith the ability to progress to more challenging job classifications. Complex Challenges for the'sos

Although the decade of the 1970s began with college campuses torn by strife­ inspired by the Vietnam war-it ended on a much quieter note. But that hardly means there are no chal­ lenges facing higher education anymore. Far from it, our nation' colleges and uni­ versities have already entered an era of complex problems that have no ready so­ lutions. Population trends are still on the de­ cline, legislatures may very well grow in­ creasingly wary of funneling appro­ priations to college campuses and competi­ tion for students will undoubtedly increa e. And energy costs to run those large build­ ings constructed in the 160s are bound to piral upward. Before discussing tho e challenges that face Eastern Michigan at the portal of a new decade, Dr. John W.

The University was recognized by the Council forthe Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) in cooperation with the United States Steel Foundation's 1979 Alumni Giving Incentive Awards Pro­ gram.

Statistics fro m the 1978 calendar year were used to compare 1,508 institutions of higher education. In that year, Eastern 's cash gifts increased by 23 percent over 1977.

In the preliminary round, the Hurons took a hard-fought game away from Wa yne State 56-53. That victory was especially satisfying for Coach Kathy Hart's squad, since it had suffered its single early-season loss to the Ta rtars by one point. The following evening, EMU emerged on the losing end of a battle for the tourna­ ment championship with Western Michi­ gan. Western had earned its way to the finals with a first-round win over the Uni­ versity of Michigan.
