Dr. Harry J. Busselen Jr., interim dean of the School of Professional Studies and Education for the past year, has been named permanently to the position.

He was appointed by President Baker upon the recommendation of Provost Fort, following a nationwide search involving 134 candidates. Six finalists were invited to campus.

He was interim dean of the School of Human Development and Education for one year before it was replaced by the School of Professional Studies and Education last year.

After joining the Cal Poly faculty in 1975, Busselen spent four years as head of the Home Economics Department and three years as associate dean of the School of Human Development and Education.

Before that, he was head of the Home Eco­nomics Department at Central Michigan University and a member of the faculties at Florida State University, Southern Oregon College, and Lodi High School.

Dr. Dwayne G. Head, interim head of the Physical Education and Recreation Administration Department for the past year, has been named per­manently to the position. He succeeds Dr. James Railey, who returned to full-time teaching in the department.

He has been a teacher and coach at the high school and college level. A member of the faculty since 1966, Head was a Fulbright lecturer in Nigeria from 1971-73. He also was associate athletic director at Cal Poly in 1983-84.

He has served a number of terms as a member of the Academic Senate. He was chairman of the Senate's Curriculum Committee, and also served on its Constitution and By-laws Committee, Personnel Review Committee, and Student Affairs Committee.

Cal Poly included in book on 'Competitive Colleges'

Cal Poly has been selected for inclusion in the fourth edition of "Peterson's Competitive Colleges," just published by Peterson's Guides, a Princeton, N.J.-based publisher of education and career reference materials.

This edition of the reference work presents data profiles of the 316 U.S. colleges and universities that consistently have more applicants with above­average credentials than they can accept. The schools represent approximately 10 percent of all U.S. institutions of higher education.

Algeo to head combined animal science programs

An internationally known specialist in beef and horse nutrition and breeding has been selected to lead the university's combined animal science programs.

Appointment of John W. "Jack" Algeo as head of the Animal Sciences and Industry Department was announced by Dean Lark Carter of the School of Agriculture.

The dean also announced the combining of the Animal Science and Veterinary Science Department and Poultry Industry Department into a single ad­ministrative unit. Known as Animal Sciences and Industry, the new department will have about 620 students enrolled this fall in its Bachelor of Science degree programs in animal science and poultry industry.

Richard J. Birkett, who has been interim head of the Animal and Veterinary Science Department, and Dr. Phillip L. Potts, who has been head of the Poultry Industry Department, will both return to full-time teaching and production management assignments on the Animal Sciences and Industry Department faculty.

For the past 25 years Algeo has been in full­time practice as a private consultant and researcher in cattle and horse nutrition, breeding, and manage­ment, and in food and drug-related research.

Before that, he was director of research and resident nutritionist for Sinton and Brown Co., a large cattle feeding concern headquartered in Santa Maria, and a graduate research assistant at Washington State.

He also was an animal nutrition specialist on Cal Poly's animal science faculty from 1949 to 1954.

Galerie exhibit will honor San Luis Mozart Festival

The University Union Galerie will be hosting an exhibition through Sept. 16, in honor of the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival.

Called the MOZART-TREK, the program is both an invitational and a retrospective, according to Jeanne LaBarbera, Galerie director. "Thek" is taken from the last syllable of the German word ''Glyptothek,'' meaning a museum collection of carved (glyptic) works of art.

LaBarbera says the exhibition is invitational in the sense that a select number of noteworthy San Luis Obispo artist-teachers were invited to submit works in the broad areas of "Mozart: The Man, His Times, and His Music."

The artists include Robert Reynolds, who has completed a painting especially for this show; Henry Wessels, who has designed special ceramic sculptures; Eric Johnson, photography; Jim Alford, a photographer whose work was used for this year's Mozart Festival announcement; and Dan Piel's Mozart portrait, which is on loan from Valley Federal Savings.

The retrospective portion of the exhibition will include the three paintings from which Mozart Festival posters were reproduced.

They are Arne Nybak's "Sing of Blossoms, Birds and Bowers" (on loan from Mr. and Mrs. William Bryant of Santa Monica); Dorothy Cutter's "Lunch by the Bay" (on loan from Mr. and Mrs. Michael R. Peevey of LaCanada-Flintridge); and Reynolds' "Low Tide at Dusk/Morro Bay" (on loan from Gerald Franklin of Santa Barbara).

The Mozart Festival has agreed to make available a limited number of the earlier posters depicting these paintings for sale at the Galerie.

An added attraction will be the exhibition of an important musical instrument. Music Professor Ron Ratcliffe has loaned the Galerie an 1820 Cottage Pianoforte, an elegant small upright by the London firm of Clementi & Sons.

Finally, the Cal Poly show will include a selec­tion of Mozart memorabilia designed for previous festivals.

The Galerie hours are 10 am to 6 pm on Mon­days and Tuesdays; 10 am to 8 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays; 10 am to 4 pm on Fridays; and noon to 4 pm on Saturdays. The Galerie is closed on Sundays during the summer.

Committee members sought Candidates are being sought for membership on

the Equal Opportunity Advisory Council and the Student Affirmative Action Advisory Committee. If you are interested, please contact the appointing authorities: the provost, the dean of students, and the chainnan of the Academic Senate.

Top journalist students are studying at Cal Poly

Twenty-five top high school journalism students from throughout Central and Southern California are participating in the 34th annual California Scholastic Press Association Workshop at Cal Poly.

The workshop, which will continue through Fri­day, is co-sponsored and hosted by the J oumalism and Public Affairs Departments.

It provides high school seniors, and recent graduates with practical instruction in a variety of media fields, including print journalism, public rela­tions, radio and television broadcasting, advertising, and photography.

Faculty members for the workshop are media and communications professionals who volunteer their services for the workshop. Many are graduates of the CSPNCal Poly Workshop, which was founded and operated for many years by longtime Los Angeles-area journalist Ralph Alexander and his wife, Millie.

Both Alexanders died in 1981, but CSPA graduates and Cal Poly joined to carry on the program.
