Department Needs To Grow

Mr. Deese hopes to
accelerate this movement.
"The department needs to
grow. We have a hard time
meeting student needs; we are
swamped with majors. I just
hope the department will
remain small enough so that
people in specialties can talk
and work together."

Mr. Deese was born in Salt
Lake City. He received his A.B.
from Chapman College in
California and his A.M. and
Ph.D. from Indiana University.
He has served as professor at
both Johns Hopkins and the
University of California. Mr.
and Mrs. Deese met while she
was a student of his at Indiana
University.
