Simmons said the exhibition space and internship availability played a key role in museum studies' anthropology track, the largest track of the program.
"We're not trying to get them to reverse their decision," Miller said. "We're just trying to get them to help us continue to have opportunities here."
To voice student opinion, Miller and others have formed the Committee of Future Museum Professionals, which
group would continue to raise awareness of the issue with a petition campaign.
The student proposal will ask the administration to hire one full-time staff member who will work part time at the museum and part time with interns. Miller said the hopes of the committee might be "pie in the sky," but the
Boatright said the University realized that the museum's closing was a complication for some students.
"Whenever the University has to make decisions that affect people and programs," Boatright said, "we recognize that the persons involved are going to be understandably upset about the decisions made."

Because Wallis wants to give people a voice, she is collecting grievances along rural America's highways and byways. Wallis has more than 400 letters that depict a colorful picture of people's trials, tribulations and thoughts about what things people think are wrong with our country.
Most of the time Wallis has been followed by various support drivers in her old gray Isuzu Trooper.
They tell the stories of a Colorado man who survives on social security and pays increasing prescription fees, and a Nevada man pleading for the protection of
Her most recent driver, Steven Navarro, left for home Monday— so Wallis is on her own until someone else volunteers.
"I planned on being here for two, maybe three weeks," Navarro said. "But she's doing such an amazing thing, I've been traveling with her for more than two months now."
Wallis began her walk on April 1, 2001, but after Sept. 11 that
year, she halted her walk and returned home. She began again last April and is making her way across Highway 36,the northern most road in Kansas.Wallis is going to Nebraska and will walk through winter until she reaches the East Coast.
"I'm doing it on faith." Wallis said. "I want to encourage more people to take action — whether it's just writing a letter, or doing something crazy like walking across the country, we can all do something to make a difference."

Five-murder case continues
The Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — A judge refused to declare a mistrial Monday in the case of two brothers charged with five killings after a defense attorney told jurors in opening statements a third man was involved in the crime spree
Prosecutors requested sanctions against John Val Wachtel, attorney for defendant Reginald Carr, who said evidence indicated another person's involvement.
The brothers are charged with 113 criminal acts, including capital murder.
In his opening statement, Mark Manna, attorney for Jonathan Carr, argued no evidence connects his client to the earlier robberies.
But District Attorney Nola Foulston told jurors that the state had DNA, ballistics and other evidence tying both brothers to the crimes.
Among the most compelling witness is the lone survivor of the
quadruple murder:
The brothers are charged with abducting five people from a Wichita home on Dec. 14, 2000, and shooting them in a soccer field the next morning. One woman survived but Aaron Sander, 29; Heather Muller, 25; Brad Heyka, 27; and Jason Befort, 26, died.
When Jonathan Carr was arrested, police found the engagement ring that Befort planned to give to his girlfriend—the woman who survived.
