Bakanowsky, studio professor of VES and professor of architecture, this combination is crucial and he too strongly calls for the acceptance of art courses into the curriculum. "The arts should and do have a part in the liberal arts education. If they don't it's like saying that the arts have no part in life, "he says...
Brustein says that as soon as he arrives he will investigate the historical and philosophical reasons for the non-credit tradition. "I can and will make a strong argument for drama getting course credit," he says, but he adds, "I would never make a case for credit for a performance apart from a class with theoretical content."

"It's not a simple reaction to an 'F' in a course," Walters insists. "When students come to us, they're concerned not only about their...
...what. So Brian Buckley won't be around to quarterback the Harvard offense this year. So the fans won't see a lot of shotgun snaps and 70-yd., zeppelin-like aerials. So Rich Horner may get a little lonely running fly patterns to distant yardlines that no one can reach. So what...
