arts colleges

Being a little slow on the uptake. I just discovered the joy of podcasts and I downloaded a bunch of them on my iPod for a cross country trip. My wife told me that she heard Frank Deford on NPR discussing this very question and quoting the proponent of this thought. Princeton's Athletic Director. Gary Walters. I decided to check out the podcast and have some thoughts on it. Deford was eloquent in his dissection of the issue and I suggest that you listen to the podcast and form your own point of view. My view is that the arts deserve a bigger break and higher status because of the greater struggles involved in pursuing them at most universities. Sports can be a big business at many schools and at some there are more assistant football coaches than there are assistant deans of students let alone art and music instructors. That's not to say that sports don't have a place they do but the arts typically don't draw the staggering alumni support financial resources and okay sometimes less-than-deserving (from an academic point of view) "student-athletes" than the arts. Read Michael Lewis's book "The Blind Side" and his brief indictment of Ole Miss football players to see what I'm talking about. There are exceptions everywhere of course but even the Ivies and the DIII liberal arts colleges around the country can fall victim to putting a disproportionate amount of funds to athletics. Why? Because alums like sports and if alums played the sport they're sometimes prone to donate money to the teams that they played for. And there's nothing wrong with that. But the dedication to winning even to see Williams try to perenially whomp Amherst seems to be greater than to have Amherst's version of the Whiffenpoofs (I think they're called Zumbays but I can't be sure) sing on a national stage. It seems to me that most schools spend considerably less money on their orchestras and theatre programs than they do their football and basketball teams. And lest you contend marching bands are part of the arts at DI schools they are part of the football pageantry and in the Ivies they're a sometimes decent inside joke but they don't form a part of the arts culture on campus. The true art form of marching bands is at the traditionally black colleges where the marching band is a form of art (and perhaps harder to join than it is to make the football team). But I've digressed too far. Are the arts more attractive because excelling in them is less common is more subjective and isn't subject to a conversation of winning and losing? Are those who play sports disdained because glory on the field or in the arena is more easily given to athletes than it is to writers on the school newspaper or ballet dancers on campus? Is it unfair that one can major in journalism or music or sculpting but not in football or basketball and is there a difference as to why you can major in one and not the other? All are good and compelling questions worthy of discussion. Walters is more and less likely to win his argument at a place like Princeton. He's less likely because well you don't go to an Ivy League school to emphasize a sport. You go for the education and to become well rounded. Yet the debate on campus on the topic is likely to be more lively as the Ivies are more likely to intellectualize a curveball (a Yale prof once wrote a book on the physics of baseball) and discuss the group dynamics of a successful basketball team (as has been done at Penn) than say an SEC school that is much more interested in beating its in-conference opponent and making sure its athletic dorms are conference standard than say sponsoring a conservatory. Still at a place like Princeton. Walters has an uphill fight. It also doesn't help him that the two marquis sports programs -- men's basketball and football -- are at relatively low ebbs right now. If those sports are an art right now they're the type of art that you buy by the yard and see at auctions and flea markets. Sorry to be harsh but the great thing about sports is that the records don't lie. In contrast the argument is probably a winner at the BCS conference schools. Sports are not only accorded as much respect as the arts they're accorded more. After all. Boone Pickens gave about a quarter billion to his alma mater. Oklahoma State for athletics. Not for batik baroque music or a mime company. Pick an SEC school or a Big 10 school (perhaps other than Vanderbilt and Northwestern) and you'll get more of the same. Sports are huge so if Walters wants a better environment for his beloved sports programs he should take a shot at being an Athletic Director at a "big-time" school. Finally. I think that Walters has the question backwards or even wrong. At some schools the question should be "why aren't the arts accorded as much respect as sports?" Worse at others the question should be. "why aren't academics accorded as much respect as athletics?" Sadly there are many schools where this could be the case. His question in short is a luxury for most institutions where the reality doesn't provide the facts to legtimize the basis for asking the question.

Clearly St. John's and Hofstra are near certainties based on your and their posted profiles. I did not mention on St. John's earlier because there are two others one in Maryland and the other in New Mexico that were unlikely based on your CR SAT score of 490. Cornell and NYU are definitely high reaches for you. Your SAT scores are reeeally low for those schools and your GPA isn't high at all for a 100 measure. And you mispelled Calculus.

The scope of the project is now very much from the user’s perspective. Try to look at what the implications of the provider (UPC and broadcasters) are. à Viewing figures A trend from broadcasters is to make furnish nights (i e. Crime Night) which make viewers stick to their channel because if they for example like CSI they are probably interested in NCIS. Television programmers are likely to adapt their broadcasting on other television broadcasters. Like when the Dutch soccer team is playing there won’t be any other big show that should get high rankings. How will this dress when there are more and more channels and people only care about the show and when the time factor is not as strict as it is now? How ordain it be when people record a show does this still contribute to the viewing figures because not everything that is recorded is reviewed (VHS). What is the difference with a media center? Can programs be postponed to be consumed and can they “rot� like fruit? There are different levels of recording. Some shows are recorded just for one-time analyse like a missed newscast and some are recorded for storage and review like with a good movie you want to show a friend. Here is another problem is it possible to exchange recorded content with another mediacenter or do I have to transfer this to a token first to furnish another person access to my media or is it just burning it on a dvd? Current affairs programs are a hybrid version. Maybe some parts are worth to keep and the rest is to be thrown away. This looks desire youtube movies that can be found on the internet. Should the remote provide tools to empower the functionality? The probes method is not used in this stage of the communicate. The problem with this method is that it takes a lot of time to act an appropriate package that can give inspirational feedback. Because the target group is not clear yet and that it is not likely to be very extreme the chance that the results will be very predictable is high. Therefore another way of involving the user is necessary. All the things I undergo done have to come together and converge to a clear vision of where it is going and what the boundaries of the projects are going to be. This helps with generating concepts. Based on the UPC remote I organized a quick inspirational brainstorm about the feeling I got from this analysis. So I made a list of functions (power changing programs control live tv record and browsing/playback) which for me looked like the most.

Today a brief statement appeared on the Amherst website. The statement was signed by Tony Marx and the presidents of 18 other liberal arts colleges. All in all. I evaluate it’s a nice order conclusion to a news story that got way too much attention in the first displace. According to the statement. Amherst and the other schools will make all data submitted to college guides publicly available on their own individual websites. Additionally all the colleges ordain cease to mention the rankings in new publications. Finally we encourage all colleges and universities to act in an effort to determine how information about our schools might be improved. As for rankings we recognize that no degree of protest may make them soon cease and hope therefore that further discussion ordain back up shape them in ways that will press us to act in ever more socially and educationally useful directions. [emphasis added] This carve up to me conveys a couple of things. First it signals a rather abrupt conclusion to the ostracise efforts of Lloyd Thacker. (which we’ve previously discussed and ) while landing a jab at the impracticality of his efforts. Now that the “highest-ranked” liberal arts colleges undergo made their own independent statement. Thacker’s efforts to ostracise US News which were relying on the participation of schools desire Amherst. Williams. Swarthmore and Wellesley now be desire they have nowhere to go. It’s good that Marx and the others recognized the futility of fighting the rankings and now with this statement can move on to more important business on their respective campuses. Also. I think the final sentence bears the distinct fingerprints of Tony Marx. Marx has been on the preserve saying that rankings should consider the be of lower-income students enrolled. Was Tony Marx indeed the compose of this statement? Maybe the Amherst Student will sight out when it reports on the story. P. S. This is the 300th post on Am’erst. Congrats to Brian and Parker for creating it and pushing it this far and here’s to many more!

Classics faculties at small liberal arts colleges often lack the measure or resources to create new courses in areas outside their specialties. Technology can help by connecting faculty and students and enabling them to share expertise time and resources across campuses. The Sunoikisis Seminars give opportunities for faculty to meet in one of two concurrent 3-day planning sessions to create a new inter-campus course in either advanced Greek or Latin. This seminar. Literature from the Early Republic (ICLAT 391) focuses on the earliest literary documents in the Latin language. Readings will come primarily from the comedies of Plautus and Terence but may include other examples of archaic Latin such as the fragments of Ennius' Annales. Participants will meet for a plenary workshop on the fourth day to change state on the skills and technology that alter virtual collaboration possible. The workshop will cover such technologies as wikis and other collaborative writing tools; explore applications; discussion lists and forums; synchronous communications (Skype. MIV phone chat); and social bookmarking and images. Care will be taken to inform participants to technologies that their campuses can support. For this workshop seminar participants should be joined by colleagues from their campuses’ academic support staffs (IT library). Colleagues from the Greek seminar will also act in this workshop. Participants in the Sunoikisis Seminars will get with a curriculum for a fall 2008 inter-campus cover (ICC) connections to a community of classics faculty at small liberal arts colleges and the expertise to maintain and create that virtual community.

Famously Wesleyan has a new president. Michael Roth who's kicked off his tenure by making nice to the freshmen which we experience because he. (Also related: Regarding our Most Annoying Colleges poll. Roth. "I don't experience that I undergo much to say about this. Gawker is trying to be annoying enough to get noticed (to make some money) but why change surface pay attention?" Hey you know we all have to pay the rent! And not all of us undergo believe funds.) The blog itself is book; Roth seems like a nice crack and really how down and dirty do you expect a college president to get? But in the comments a couple of people undergo taken the opportunity to let President Roth experience that they don't evaluate old Wes is all it's cracked up to be. In fact one parent seems especially peeved that his child has not been recognized as the genius he or she is. I construe the remarks [to the freshmen] and felt the bittersweetness of a parent whose child has not thrived at Wesleyan. Rather than being inspired by the hopefulness of the comments. I am saddened by the gap between the words and my child's experience. Entering Wesleyan in the fall of 2004 my child was eager to expand both intellectual and social horizons. Myriad rejections (special hybrid majors study abroad first choice sports) and odd sometimes callous comments on papers have led my child to change what s/he sees as options at Wesleyan. When I left undergraduate my perspective had been so enlarged and my appetite for learning so increased that I went on to earn my Ph. D. I don't think that was the path for my child but I am sorry to see that s/he willl leave Wesleyan after four years with less than the enthusiasm for learning than that with which s/he entered. It is easy and therefore tempting to engage the A students (as a faculty member. I know this!). My child did hit the books the lesson that the rich get richer by watching the A students receive more attention and more opportunities. I am very happy for all those who are having and undergo had an expanding experience at Wesleyan. My B+ child however has fallen through the cracks there. S/he will survive but what a disappointment that no one noticed. The classroom has been a remarkably impersonal environment for a be of students. My hope for the new president is that over the course of his tenure there will be fewer students leaving after four years whose intellectual potential was unrecognized and therefore untapped. As Roth says in his blog: "Of course there are the frustrations of the beginning of the semester. Not everyone gets the classes they want on the first try and advisors are scrambling with their students to put together a rewarding collection of courses for every student. I remember my own disappointment long ago when the creative writing professor discovered that I wasn't in the "Junior or Senior" category and had to kick me out of his categorise. As a frosh. I was very annoyed (and even a little offended by the idea of class entry hierarchy) and I wound up sitting in a philosophy categorise taught by a visitor. I was very fortunate and it turned out to be a life changing categorise. I loved the course and I still chew over the philosophers I began reading that semester." In other words when your kid doesn't get any of the classes he wanted he'll probably end up with something even better! So quitcherbitchen. Dear S/he Child:You received a B+ add up at college. You did not live up to your potential of being an A student. I've sent a letter to the president of Wesleyan so that everybody will experience what a fucking disappoint you are to me. I accuse you and the school for my displeasure and everything else that has gone wrong in my life. Your mother left me for Mrs. Kravitz across the street. It's your fault. Sincerely,Dad Seriously who has a parent desire this? It reminds me of the whole. "college speech" everyone's Mom and Pop apparently gave their kiddies before they left. My Dad's consisted of him scanning my old dwell and pointing toward the shelves: "you aren't going to need any of this right?" My friends Mom warned her to lock her door or she ordain get raped. Good times. Honestly my Dad had no idea what classes I was taking or what state I was living in. Where is all the neglect? Did it go out of call in the 80s or something? @: It makes me happy to imagine your professors (and other people desire even your parents) actually calling you "Pope." I made damn sure to acquire myself one B+ my first semester of freshman year because then all the 4.0 pressure was off. Also. I really didn't be to spend thirty minutes revising that paper. @: My dad is exactly like this. I'm 27 and I've learned to express him nothing about my work or any school type thing I might engage in because he comfort would call and embarrass the hell out of me. When I moved to a city other than his he called sublets (I mentioned that Craiglist exists!) before I could get around to it and asked them to label me back. It sucked. gratify if you are parents don't pull this crap. It. Is. The. Worst..
