T
he College of Liberal Arts will hold the 12th annual Liberal Arts Symposium from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 17 in the Liberal Arts Building. The theme for the symposium is "The Classics: That Which Endures." Liberal Arts classes will be let out for the day. Instead of classes, liberal arts students are required to attend a session of the symposium. The symposium is an annual event that showcases student research and creative works. This year, retiring Liberal Arts Dean Clif' Warren will be honored for his support of the symposium, said Dr. Kole
Kleeman, assistant professor of journalism and symposium committee member for the journalism department. Warren will be leaving UCO on July 1. The symposium organizers, led by Dr. Pamela Washington, expect more than 1000 presenters this year. There are three categories of presentations: visual arts, performing arts and literary arts. Kleeman has encouraged several of his students to present papers. "I have four panels of students presenting," Kleeman said. "In my victims in the media class, we have had a theme of `research that makes an impact on the community.' It is basically a criticism of the mass media and the
victimization process." Kleeman said his introduction to mass communications students will also present papers in the symposium. Dr. Terry Clark, chairman of the journalism department, has more than 25 photography students showing their work, Kleeman said. "Dr. (Bob) Illidge's students have an advertising exhibit about traveling to Vietnam," Kleeman said. Gayle Singer, assistant professor of ceramics, will have her students demonstrating a pottery wheel. Singers said the live demonstration helped viewers be exposed to the throwing process.
