Choices for new arts dean narrowed
By Grant W. Butler
Staff writer
The selection committee for a new dean of the School of Fine Arts has narrowed the number of candidates for the job, the chairman of the committee said last week.
Robert Foster, director of bands and the chairman, said the committee was concentrating on the strongest applications of the 80 that had been received so far.
The new dean needs to be an effective communicator and leader. Foster said.
"It's a major administrative job which represents all the fine arts at the University." Foster said. "He's the spokesman for the arts in the community, state and nation. He also represents this faculty and the students with the central administration.
"It's a pretty broad job." he said.
It is a pretty old job. He said.
No specific deadline has been set for applications, Foster said, because a deadline might discourage a qualified candidate from applying.
The new dean should be able to begin work July 1, he said. That is the date when James Moeser, the current dean of the school, is to resign
Moeser said he was eager to leave the position so he could be a full-time professor of organ in the school again.
But preference will be given to the candidates whose applications are received before April 15.
Moeser said he was staying away from the process of selecting a new dean and was unaware of what progress the selection committee was making.
"I've done it for 11 years, and I just think it's time to let someone else do it," he said. "I don't want to say I was getting tired of it. It's just I was awarded a distinguished professorship in organ last year, and I want to get back to teaching."
Moeser is the Carl and Ruth Althaus distinguished professor of organ.
the new dean must be an effective administrator of activities, budget and policies, and he must support the development of the school and its resources.
The selection committee comprises 15 faculty members from the school.
"We're trying to find someone who will be a good advocate for the arts on the campus and in the state," Price said. "That's an important quality."
The job description for the position states that
Applicants for the position need to have an understanding of the different areas of the arts in the school and a commitment to the creative development of the school. They must also be effective leaders with a history of scholarly or professional achievements.
One improvement in the school's program that the new dean will address, he said, will be the need to provide students with a variety of
Robert Price, associate professor of art and a member of the selection committee, said the new dean needed to be enthusiastic about the arts.
"There's a perceived need for a new performing arts center, and whoever takes the job needs to be aware of this primary need," he said.
The KU Kempo Karate Club will meet at 5:30 p.m. today in the Multipurpose Room of Robinson Center.
Two free films, "Paul Taylor and Company: An Artist and his Work," and Joe Limon's "Emperor Jones," will be shown at 4 p.m. tomorrow in 252 Robinson Center. The films are part of the dance history film series.
■ The seminar "Is the Homosexual My Neighbor" will be presented at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Orave Aad.
