School dean By GEORGEA KOVANIS After a poll of Education School faculty, eight professors have emerged as front-runners to replace Joan Stark, the school's outgoing dean. Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Provost Billy Frye is arranging meetings with faculty from the school and accepting letters giving faculty responses to the prospective deans until July 18. HE SAID he will then bring his choice before the Regents in September. In a meeting with the school's faculty Thursday, Frye said he will probably pick a dean from within the school. Five of the eight professors who headed the poll now work within the school: Carl Berger, Frederick Ber- tolaet, William Cave, Philip Kerney and Marvin Peterson. THE THREE remaining choices are Psychology Prof. Wilbert McKeachie, English Prof. Jay Robinson, and Social Work Prof. John Tropman. In Thursday's meeting, when faculty members from the school asked if he would pick the candidate most preferred by the faculty, Frye replied that he would not choose "simply by the votes." Those votes came from a survey Frye sent out last month asking the school's faculty to rate their tenured colleagues in the School of Education as preferred, acceptable or unacceptable. They also had a chance to write in candidates from outside the school. THE DECISION to search within the University for a new dean after the school's executive committee had asked for a national search, has angered some faculty members. University administrators said the reason for the internal search is that a school facing a possible 40 percent budget cut is not in a position to attract a dean with a national reputation. That cut is part of the University's five-year-plan to take $20 million from some areas of the University and redistribute it to "higher priority" areas. The School of Education is one of three schools which have undergone budget reviews in the plan. FRYE SAID that the new dean's term will be three years rather than the traditional five-year term, and ina letter to the faculty, he said a nationwide search will take place when he and the school find it appropriate. Joan Stark, dean since 1978, finishes up her term this month. She will stay on until a new dean has been selected. Correction The Daily incorrectly reported last Thursday that Physiology Prof. John Faulkner, supported a move for the physical education department to the physiology department. While Faulkner did say he believed the depar- tment should be moved, he did not specify where. 4 4 4 4 4 4 S T U ID E NT LO A DOLLARS FOR SCHOLARS We can help finance your college education We can help you beat the high cost of a higher education with a STUDENT LOAN FASTLOAN!
