somewhere inside the drama center, as
well as how many seats the Miller The-
ater should have.
Peterson said resolving the number of
seats the theater will have is important
because with size comes "different char
acters (and) different flavors."
But these are not the only issues still
impeding construction on the theater
and drama center. Peterson said it is still
unknown where the complex, once slat-
ed next to the Power Center for the Per-
forming Arts, will be built.
University officials "thought they had
found a good way to put the new theater
in with the Life Sciences area, but that is
very dense right there," she said, adding
that it's possible the center could be built
- in another space where departments
would get more for less cost.
"There is a lot of thinking about
whether it would make sense to put the
theater on North Campus ... where it
would create another venue for people
to go for entertainment," Peterson said.
The debates are by no means new,
said Gus Malmgren, who was a member
of the Arthur Miller Theater Advisory
Committee for two years before leaving
the University in January 2000.
According to Malmgren and Peter-
son, not much has changed since then.
Malmgren said that during his time
on the committee, members talked about
"what the building should be, and what
the building should be ... and what it
was about."
He said it's not surprising that the
project is still in limbo.
"I think the idea was good," Malm-
gren said, adding that outside factors,
such as the timing of the Life Sciences
Initiative, inhibited work done on the
center. 4
He also said the idea started to esca-
late simply due to all the possibilities
surrounding what those involved hoped
would become a world-class performing
center.
"World-class, to me, means being
able to anticipate art forms to come and
being able to accommodate current art
fons beyond the normal expectations,"
he said. "Currently, the Power Center
can do some of that stuff, but what if
there was something that could be a
truly experimental space?"
Despite all the questions still linger-
ing, University officials are still promis-
ing students and community members a
Walgreen Drama Center and Arthur
Miller Theater. Peterson said they just
can't say when they'll appear.

to have a president "who micromanages athletics."
According to notes from the meeting, a comment was
also made that "the (Athletic Department) needs to report to
the president but needs to have authority in running the
department."
The Senate Advisory Committee on University
Affairs met with representatives from the committee
Jan. 28 and said a new president needed to be very inept
with fund raising.
"SACUA would like to see a president who creates a
vision for academic excellence and then brings resources to
support initiatives," notes from the meeting said.
Though the meeting notes reflect high expectations for
the new University president and many said her reputa-
tion and work at the University of Iowa precedes her,
group members said they will have to wait and see if and
how their goals are met.
SACUA member Rudi Lindner said while it is hard to
determine how Coleman will perform, her record at Iowa
makes a strong impression.
"The incoming president has had experience in an under-
graduate institution," Lindner said. "She's worked in an
institution that tries to balance research and teaching and
public service. She seems acceptable to people who think in New At Bell's:
terms of politics as well as academics." Milkshakes $3.25 Everyday special of
