A&S budget to remain concern � Unexpected revenue from various sources kept the budget balanced last year, but administrators are considering admitting more undergraduates over the next three or four years. By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

PAST GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL STUDENT CAMPOUTS have drawn thousands of students, but this year’s event will feature a greater emphasis on community service and the success of the women’s basketball program.

GPSC campout promotes service By KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle

The graduate and professional student men’s basketball ticket campout will have a few new twists this year, including a push for char-

ity and more promotion for women’s

basketball, with past game highlights and appearances by players. Over 4,000 graduate and professional students registered last week for the campout, which will take place during the Sept. 27 weekend in the grass fields behind the Blue Zone parking lot. The Graduate and Professional Student Council—which promotes the event not just as a means of

getting into Cameron Indoor Stadium, but also as a major bonding and social event for various postundergraduate communities will emphasize community service during this years campout. The Men’s Basketball Ticket Committee is requiring that students

A reduction in faculty searches and higher-thananticipated summer school revenue helped Arts and Sciences avert a $1 million deficit last year, but administrators warn that the school will face larger deficits, even as several ambitious projects proceed. Despite last year’s balanced budget, Arts and Sciences officials remain wary that economic concerns and anticipated facility expenditures will require deficit spending for the foreseeable future, which has prompted them to consider increasing the size of the undergraduate body. Last year, William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, cut the number of faculty searches from 42 to 32. Those cuts essentially leveled off faculty growth, unlike the past five years in which Arts and Sciences faculty grew. The cuts were made across departments, on the basis of each position’s priority. “There’s always difficult choices with respect to faculty,” said Thomas Mann, associate dean for finance and administration. “But faculty hires are the thing that is most flexible to us.” Arts and Sciences, with a total budget of $200,000, is a wide-reaching unit that includes Trinity College and many departments in the Graduate School. Each year, departments submit appointment requests to offset retirements or simply to add experts in certain areas. Precision in planning is difficult, said Executive

Vice Provost Jim Roberts, because faculty searches sometimes do not yield offers and some candidates do

ADF co-director succumbs to cancer By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Stephanie Reinhart, the celebrated co-director of the Durham-based American Dance Festival and a pillar ofAmerican modem dance, died early Monday morning after a long battle with leukemia. Friends of Reinhart remembered her as a committed, energetic leader of the annual festival, which she co-directed since 1993 with her husband, Charles. Together, they brought new successes to the six-week modern dance event—now one of the premiere dance festivals in the nation—and helped established Duke and Durham as centers of dance every summer. “Everything she did is irreplaceable. She’s had an enormous impact on the dance world,” said Erin Rehberg, ADF communications director. “The dance world is so small that when a prominent figure like that leaves us, everyone feels it.” The Reinharts have also served as the co-artistic directors for dance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and Stephanie served as a long-time administrator at the National Endowment for the Arts.
