Warren named consultant Dr. Clif' Warren, chairman of the creative studies department, is one of 15 consultants for the latest edition of Search for Personal Freedom, Volume 2, a college humanitities textbook. "Since the late 1940's, this book has become the most used humanities textbook in America," Warren said. "This is the first book of innovative humanity to deal with music, literature, painting, architecture and sculpture, as well as the minor and combined arts." Using the culture epoch theory, fostered by Arnod Toynbee, the text raises significant questions about highly developed cultures of each epoch as well as man's relationship to his fellow man, relationships, purpose on earth and his views on good and evil, Warren added.
"In other words, the text is oriented toward making history useful in terms of an individual's life span against the panoply of the major movements in science, arts and the social sciences," Warren said. "This book is rich in illustrations, maps, photographs, art and cultural history, and is presented in a special and accesible way." Warren read and commented on the materials included in this edition as the book was being revised. His opinions and editorial comments aided Karen Speersta, the developmental editor of the book, with the continuity and bridging in the text, and with the length of the selections and syntax. Warren plans to use the new edition in his humanities classes next fall.
By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor While the cost of attending CSU this year is rising in some areas the price of student housing here will not be increased, says Robert Fields, director of auxiliary enterprises which handles student housing. "Larry Williams, vice president for administration, and I discussed it and we decided that, with the other increases students will have to pay in tuition and the cost of living with inflation, we would not raise the housing rate," Fields said. Fields pointed out the recent tuition increase of 10 percent for in-state students and 15 percent for out-of-state students plus inflation, which he says hurts students as much as anyone, it will be harder for students and their parents to manage the cost of an education. "The purpose of auxiliary enterprises is to support students in their academic endeavors. If the price is too high it is not a help but a hinderance to them," Fields said. "Therefore, we are going to try and hold the line on costs for the student. Hopefully, this will be helpful to the students." "I seriously believe we need to give students a break on the cost of attending school," Williams said. "They sometimes seem to think we are trying to get in their pocket but we're not, we really want to help out and keep costs down for them." Fields said not increasing the cost is going to hurt, but that housing was "just going to have to bear down." Auxiliary enterprises is not in any way funded by state or federal subsidies. Therefore, all costs generated must be paid by the students. So, according to Fields, with an inflation rate of three to five percent, and the cost of utilities going up 15 percent, cutbacks are going to have to be made in some areas. "We are going to try to cutback mainly in the areas of labor costs and equipment," Fields said. "We feel we have to help students by squeezing out expenses." Fields said there would be an effort to conserve on cleaning supplies for the dorms and, when equipment breaks down, there will be an effort to repair it rather than replace it. Fields also pointed out there would be no salary increases for any of the housing staff as a result of not raising rates. "Holding the rates means little or no raises for our staff in housing. That is a fact that I don't enjoy, but we have to do what we can," Fields said. "We are going to have to struggle to provide good service and still hold the price down." According to Fields, the renovations at Murdaugh, Thatcher and East Hall dorms will continue stating that the money for those renovations had already been appropriated.
