Concerns about color in the Photo Department?

I don't mean to pick on Sun-Hee Kim, commissioner of fine arts, but I'm questioning whether she's right for the job as the ASCC might think.

This is besides the fact that she's not outspoken and it's extremely difficult, for me at least, to understand what she's saying.

At the cabinet meeting yesterday, she expressed her concerns for the Photo Department.

She said it doesn't have color.

I've taken PHOTO 101. The class, where students shoot, develop and print pictures by themselves, was concentrated on black and white entirely.

So what's the problem?

I haven't had a chance to talk to Talon Marks Photo Editor Michael Agudo, who is closer involved with the Photo Department than I am, about this.

Maybe I'm wrong and there is a photo class that has color as a requirement.

I will talk to Agudo for more information later today.

If there is such a class, are we to think that the class has been doing without? That color is on the syllabus but it's been neglected?
