Anonymous entry names Bridge for 'Godfather of Soul' STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The Godfather of Soul himself is coming here this week to help townsfolk dedicate the James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge. Brown said he may even write a song about it. "I hope the bridge is used like my music to reach across the gap between generations," Brown, 60, said Tuesday from his office in Augusta, Ga. "No telling what God has in store for me." The bridge was named when City Manager Harvey Rose invited townspeople to compete for a $100 savings bond by submitting names for the $1.5 million span across the Yampa River. A screening committee narrowed. the 57 entries down to five that were historically correct, plus an honorable mention for the anonymous Limes Brown entry. Residents chose that one 7,717 to 7,459 over the New Stockbridge. "People have a right to a choice," Brown said. "And I thank them for choosing me." It will be Brown's first trip to Steamboat Springs. He won't perform at the dedication.
Mia not wild about Woody's films, either DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — The world knows that Mia. Farrow no longer thinks very much of Woody Allen, but she says in an interview published here that she wasn't wild about his films, either. "I mean, Woody's films were all so — insular," she said in an interview published in the Irish Independent. "He had his own family of actors, and everyone knew his movies took up most of a year. So I never got the chance to do anything else," Farrow said. See World Wrap, Page 6

Faculty Senate discusses possibility of fifth college By Roy Howe
Staff Writer Discussion concerning the possibility of a fifth college at the University of Central Oklahoma sparked emotional reactions during the Faculty Senate's first meeting for the 1993-94 academic year. "I think this is a real serious issue," said Fred Grosz, faculty senate president, referring Thursday to a proposal for a College of Fine Arts. The plan calls for dividing the College of Liberal Arts and adding two departments from the College of Education to form a College of Fine Arts. The proposed new college would contain a School of Music, a School of Theater Arts, a School of Visual Arts and a School of Communications. Senate members expressed concern that UCO faculty had only three working days to give their "comments" about the proposal to Clifton Warren, dean of the liberal arts college. Warren is to report the faculty's input about the proposed reorganization to George Nigh, UCO president. "We may need to call a full faculty association meeting to get the rumors out of the way or it's going to split our faculty in half," said one senate member. Barring any interruptions, Faculty Senate members said Nigh is expected to present the proposal for the reorganization to the State Regents for Higher Education at their October meeting. In a controversial letter addressed to Warren and distributed to Faculty Senate members, Christopher Givan, chairman of the creative studies department, questioned the methods for leadership of the four schools within the proposed college. "At this point, I'm wondering how the administrative procedures are intended to work for the selection of the new director of each school. "In this format, there are envisioned four

new administrative posts," Givan writes. "...As you know, there are procedures for the selection and appointment of chairs and I believe deans, but as far as I know, there is no administrative procedure for the selection and appointment of a director of a school within a college." Further, Givan questioned whether UCO administrators have looked into these se-

lections. "Is the Administration studying this matter and when will the faculty participate in providing input?" Warren said that prior to Givan's letter, dated Sept. 9, he had not met with Givan and does not know where he got his information. See FACULTY SENATE, Page 5
