The^stern Carolinian Voice of the Students Thursday, March 27,1980 VoLXLV No. 25 SGA blasts faculty senate A rift of disagreement has come up between WCU's Student Government Association and faculty senate on the latter's general education (GE) committee proposal to alter the school's GE requirements. That difference was brought to light on Monday when a position statement on the matter, in the form of a resolution, was introduced to the student senate. The statement of opposition is now under scrutiny of the student senate academics committee. Background on the differences of opinion comes in a twelve page summary report in which the faculty senate's GE committee outlines ten areas of study which should be adopted as part of a revised GE curriculum; they are: "Physical sciences; biological and behavioral functions of the human being; the human past and its relation to the present; contemporary political, legal, and economic institutions; values and their cultural context; humanistic expressions (further broken down as verbal and non-verbal expressions); leisure and fitness; mathematics; and the future: critical issues and decisions." in making the selection of these fields of study, the committee held the following as necessary course components: "written communication in the English language; oral communication; the use of the scientific method; the use of critical and analytical thinking; the use of logical reasoning; and the making of value judgements." According to the committee, this revised plan of Post office moves this weekend The Cullowhee Post Office will be moving this coming weekend to their new building on Longbranch Road. The move has been in progress for a long period of time. It was hoped in the beginning of last semester that the move would come shortly "after Christmas, but the construction has taken slightly longer than expected. The reason for the move is to increase the amount of space that the Post Office will have for its use. The present building is about 2500 square feet with no room for expansion. The new office will have around 2 and on half times more space and room for expansion, making it a total of 7800 square feet. There are no real problems seen in the move. Box holders will have to exchange their keys on Monday and the dormitory mail clerks will have to go a little bit farther to pick up the mail. The students may have to walk a little bit farther also, but it should be remembered that the post office is here not only to serve the students, but the entire community. Window hours will remain the same: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday - Friday. There will be a door buzzer that you can use to pick up packages on Saturday. There will be no cash transactions on Saturday, but you can pick up packages. One final note, the Post Office would like all box holders to come by no later than Saturday noon to clear out their boxes. The Post Office will close at noon and you will not be able to get your mail out of the new Post Office until Monday morning. Your cooperation is asked so that it will be a simpler transition. The following is a map showing exactly how to get to the new building. study would provide a degree of flexibility for each student in his education ("Those who need less general education should have less prescribed," and vice- versa.); it would "maximize student achievement" by fixed standards, and favorably continue the GE past the sophomore year. On the SGA side of the fence, however, things are different. A recent memorandum to SGA President Roger McKinney from Vice-President Richard Sullins, one of two student members on the faculty senate committee studying the proposals-academic affairs, made clear his opposition to the proposals. Sullins wrote, "It is my view that the proposals put forth by the committee are inadequate to modify GE to an acceptable level, and some proposals actually create more problems than they solve." The chief thrust of Sullins' memo lies in the "interdisciplinary idea," briefly--"a course comprised of several inter-related areas (eg. political, social, and economic)." According to Sullins, the interdisciplinary idea, basic to the proposed changes, would make GE courses "very shallow and superficial" and "students taking those courses would know a whole lot about nothing." The Vice-President also cites a large negative faculty response to the GE recommendations as questioning the validity of the ideas put forth; additionally, he notes that the committee investigated Turn to Page 10. Kennedy comes to life By Lee Grant The New York and Connecticut primaries have brought back some of the excitement of politics. Until Tuesday, it was doubtful that neither Carter nor Reagan would have to worry about going the distance. They had both gone through several consecutive primaries without a major setback or loss. Today the smiles belong to the challengers. Last week in the wake of the Illinois primary Jody Powell announced triumphantly that for Kennedy to win the nomination he must capture 60 per cent of the vote in the major states remaining. Last night Kennedy met that challenge and captured 59 per cent ot the vote in New York. It seems as though Kennedy is finally being able to take away the criticism of his past and get the voters to think about the present and the nation's economic woes. Kennedy scored well among the blue collar workers and the Blacks. Kennedy was also able to gain some points from Carter's blunder in the UN vote and walked away with a large majority of the Jewish vote. Kennedy also won surprisingly in Connecticut where Carter was expected to do well. Even though Carter's Tum to Page 22 Wicker lectures Tom Wicker, a native son of North Carolina and currently an associate editor of The New York Times will speak tonight in the Grandroom of the Hinds University Center.
