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. L ASEARCH Continued from Page 1. 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."
