The arts hold a special place in education. While math teaches problem solving and history teaches the importance of the past, the arts teach us about being human and allow us to celebrate and reflect on our accomplishments and sorrows as a human race. The arts give us the tools to express our life stories to each other.

I am writing to you because I am compelled to voice my concern at the possibility of the elimination of the music scholarship at the University of La Verne.

As a third year theater major I have to completely disagree with last week’s letter from Jacob Leveton regarding the theater department’s place at ULV.

The University of La Verne’s thriving art, music and theater programs may soon follow the lead of the AAIC, becoming simply a part of the University’s history.
