Highlighted by the completion and occupation of the new Library, to be called the Learning Center, the College, headed by Dean Milton Voigt, worked closely with the office of the Deans of Students to revitalize the general education program for undergraduates. Formerly one of the assistant deans for the College of Letters and Sciences, Oakley J. Gordon now steers the academic advisement program for student program planning and registration. Embracing the departments of theater, dance, music, art, and architecture, the College of Fine Arts, under the direction of Dean Edward Maryon, sparked exciting programs in 1968. A spring quarter in Mexico highlighted the year for the art department. Headquartered in San Miguel, Mexico, the students lived for a quarter immersed in the culture and arts of Mexico. The department of architecture adopted a new six-year master's degree program comprising a three year general education program in another major, and extensive architectural training beginning in the fourth year. The theater department trained the Shakespeare Players, presented two plays during autumn quarter in Babcock Theater and toured the intermountain area. The University opera company produced "The Flying Dutchman" during winter quarter under the direction of the Department of Music. 119 |
