Witten met Monday to set the guidelines from which the committee will operate. Non-voting Chairman Jay Smith, vice-president of Learning Resources, said "the committee is just now trying to get the facts for the position, we haven't deter mined anything yet."

"We need something more than, an administrative lackey, because it can get to the point where the routine overcomes the job, and as the students change, so should the dean that works for them," she said. "I'd agree to having the same Dean nine years if we saw he was doing a good job but after nine years I would not be flexible," said Berlin. Siano disagrees, saying "I think it could be a good idea, but I'm afraid of one thing, the political pressures.

A source close to the committee agreed, saying the "person must adapt to the changing students, but if the student body changes too much, the administration, which likes to see order and little change, would disapprove of the Dean's new stance."
