The desired name for this mailing list is UHM-ART-BA and it should include people who are pursuing a BA in ART. As time marches on, people should be added if they declare that they are pursuing a BA in ART, and people should be removed if they change majors, graduate or completely drop out.  This is accomplished via a two-prong approach:

1. Create term-specific student lists behind the scenes,
   
   1. e.g. UHM-ART-BA-201430 (201430 is the term code for Spring 2014), UHM-ART-BA-201510 (201510 is the term code for Fall 2014)
2. Create a set of rules for making the generic UHM-ART-BA point to a term-specific list like UHM-ART-BA-201430
   
   1. As time marches on, these rules will automatically switch UHM-ART-BA from UHM-ART-BA-201430 to UHM-ART-BA-201510.  For example:
      1. UHM-ART-BA points to UHM-ART-BA-201430 between January 2014 and June 2014
      2. UHM-ART-BA points to UHM-ART-BA-201510 between July 2014 and December 2014
   2. Note that it is perfectly OK for people to use a term-specific list like UHM-ART-BA-2014-FALL.  As a matter of fact, it is preferable because the intent of a term-specific list is much clearer than an ambiguously generic UHM-ART-BA
