The Student Newspaper of the North Carolina School of the Arts

The proposed name change of the school from the North Carolina School of the Arts to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (Senate Bill 2015) was approved by the House on July 9 and now must be signed into law by Governor Easely. If signed, the bill will take effect August 1.

The proposed name change may have unanimous support in the Board of Governors, but it doesn't on campus. An admittedly unscientific yet telling survey of students taken Friday afternoon shows that over 50% of the students currently attending NCSA do not approve of the pending name change.

The Board of Trustees last week approved a resolution to change the name of the School of the Arts by adding "University" to the beginning, making it "The University of North Carolina School of the Arts." The resolution is pending approval by the UNC Board of Governors and the NC General Assembly.

NCSA Music Dean Thomas Clark to Step Down

Doctor Thomas Clark, Dean of the School of Music, recently announced that he is resigning his position, effective July 25. He is leaving NCSA to accept the position of director of the School of Music at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX.

An interim dean will be announced this spring, and will serve while the search for a permanent dean gets under way.

This is Dr. Clark's fourth year as the Music Dean. He came to the School of the Arts from the University of North Texas College of Music in Denton, where he was the associate dean for academic affairs. Dr. Clark earned all three of his degrees from the University of Michigan, culminating in his Doctorate in Musical Arts. He has held posts at the University of Michigan, Indiana University, Pacific Lutheran University and the University of North Texas. He is a composer and amateur trombone player.
