members is currently seeking a
permanent replacement for Ragone.
He added that the committee has
already submitted several
nominations.
Knott.iwill assume the position of
acting LSA dean on July 1 when current
LSA Dean Billy Frye assumes the office
of University vice-president for
academic affairs. Knott came to the
University in 1967 as an, assistant-
professor of English. He has been
associated LSA dean for curriculum
since 1977, and while with the English
department served on its curriculum
and executive committees. He also
initiated the freshman seminar
program.
KNOTT SAID HIS basic objective as
acting dean of the college is "to keep
everything functioning as smoothly as
possible." He added that he thought it
would be difficult for an acting dean to
initiate any new programs.
"The responsibilities (of a dean)," he
continued, "are much larger than those
of an associate dean. For one thing, he
has to be responsive to more people and
more concerns."
Sussman said choosing an acting
dean is a fairly difficult task because
"they do everything a dean does-it's
always a difficult equation to balance."
A committee is now being selected to
chose Frye's replacement as LSA dean,
he continued. It will consist of six
faculty members and at least two
students.
Sussman did not rule out the
possibility of either deanship being
filled by someone from outside the
University community.
MORE EXHAUSTED CUBAN refugees arrived in Key West yesterday as the
exodus from Cuba continues. These two refugees came in a flotilla of ocean-
going shrimp boats.
