Saying it was in order to bet- ter assist the faculty, staff and students, Alden J. Reimonenq, ULV's provost and vice presi- dent for academic affairs, has reorganized the structure of the academic affairs department, naming four new vice presi- dents to support him in his role as provost. Named to the new positions are Adeline Cardenas-Clague, Al Clark, Mark Nelson and Zandra Wagoner. Academic affairs is responsi- ble for the academic programs at the University. It is also where the faculty resides on the ULV organizational chart. “Before the reorganization of academic affairs, there were too many units reporting to Erin Brockman me,” Reimonenq said. With the new plan, effective Executive Vice President Phil Hawkey jokes with his audience completed renovations at the University of La Verne, including the Sept. 1, nine direct units report about a computer mishap during his presentation at the La Verne restoration of Hanawalt House, rejuvenation of Founders Hall to Reimonenq, as opposed to 13 Town Hall Meeting Sept. 18.

He said ULV cannot be too many things to too many people and that the University needs to “focus on what we do best.” “I think we do photography really well,” Morgan said. “Do we have programs that are not as good as we think they should be?” he said. He added that there needs to be “focus” and a narrowing of standards. Morgan said a “pretty cam- pus” and “small classes” are not enough. He said it “has to be about academic quality, achieve- ments/ accomplishments of our faculty” and the “levels of servic- es that we offer for our students to help them be successful.” Morgan said La Verne is a “midsize comprehensive univer- sity,” with a “breadth of majors.” “La Verne will never be an elitist school,” he said. The pres- ident said the University has always done well with “‘A’ and ‘B’ students,” and that La Verne needs to focus on how to “best serve those students.” “It’s a rapidly changing world,” Morgan said. “We want to do the best we can to prepare Stephanie Arellanes you for that world.” Stephen Morgan has served as president of the University of La of President Harold Fasnacht, Morgan graduated from La Verne Susan Acker can be reached Verne for 23 years, making him the longest-serving president in the with a bachelor’s degree in social sciences.

Lesley Michaels News/Web Editor

The conflicted cultural expe- rience of what immigrants went through when migrating to America was told by Professor of English Ken Scambray to an intimate audience of about 15 members at the Sept. 16 Faculty Lecture Series. Scambray’s lecture, “Watts Towers and Fresno’s Under- ground Gardens” not only explained the history of these popular California landmarks, but also served to emphasize the cultural significance of the art. The Underground Gardens were built in the early 1900s in Fresno by Baldassare Forestiere, a Sicilian immigrant, Scambray explained. Forestiere, rightfully nick- named “the human mole,” per- sonally dug more than 100 underground tunnels, which became his living quarters for 21 years.

The women’s volleyball team was in a “New York state of mind” Sept. 19 as the Leopards defeated visiting New York University, 3-0, in front of more than 500 fans at Frantz Athletic Court.

The women’s soccer team began their Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Confer- ence schedule last weekend with two crucial victories over the Cal Lutheran Regals and the Occidental Tigers before losing last Wednesday’s road game against Redlands. The Leopards, who went into their conference opener with a 1-2 nonconference record, were confident they were well prepared and capable of winning when it mattered most. “We’re very excited,” head coach Wendy Zwissler said. “This is the first time in years that we’ve been in first place, and we’re working hard to stay there.” In the game against Cal Lutheran, both teams imple- mented their defensive strate- gies to perfection, as neither team was able to score in the Stephanie Arellanes first half. As the Leopards battle with the Regals in the first half, Ashley pulled ahead Wednesday to dethrone the Regals, 1-0.
