New capstone cowurses to
By KIM WEAVER
Staft Water
Ten capstone courses in the College
ol Arts and Sciences' new curriculum
will be offered to students next semester.
"Capstone courses are intei discipli
nary courses that look at one field in
depth." said Cynthia Dessen, assistant
to the associate dean of general edu
cation. "The idea is that they cap' your'
education, or round it off. A capstone
is a crowning architectural ornament
which completes a structure."
Capstone courses are used to fullfill
the five B.A. level requirements in the
new curriculum, but they may be taken
by students in their major field, Dessen
said. Although they are designed
primarily for juniors and seniors, they
may be taken by sophomores as elec
tives, she said.
Thirty capstone courses have been
created, but only a few are offered each
semester, she said. The courses involve
small classes generally from 30 to
50 people but are not the advanced
level courses some students believe they
are, she said.
"They are intended for students who
are curious, intelligent and well
educated, but not necessarily a specialist
in the field," she said.
Dessen said priority was not given
to any field when deciding which
capstone courses to submit to the new
curriculum.
"We're open to accepting any course
a department considers interdiscipli
nary, or any course that looks at the
value systems behind that field of
study," she said.

Both faculty and students have been
enthusiatic about the courses, she said,
and enrollment the past few years has
been good.
Effective next semester, the 10
capstone courses offered will be clas
sified under the numbers 94A, B, C and
so forth. The courses were previously
classified under another number,
Dessen said.
Three courses will be offered in the
philosophical perspective next semester:
"The seven liberal arts" (Classics 94 A)
will give students a chance to reflect on
their personal and educational develop
ment. It is open only to seniors.
"The meaning of literacy in the
computer age" (Classics 94B) will
examine the computer as a new tech
nology for reading and writing.
"Culture and world "(Philosophy 94 A)
is created to help students understand
the cultural perspectives they have been
exposed to in education, to approach
intelligently the contradictions of the
culture and to achieve a unified world
view of culture. The course is open to
juniors and seniors only.
Three courses will be offered in the
social sciences perspective:
"Public finance and public choice"
(Economics 94A) will involve applying
basic consumer theory to public finance
questions. The course has a prerequisite
of Economics 10. Students who have
taken Economics 140 or 141 may not take
this course.
"Psychoanalysis1 arid the social scien
ces" (Political Science 94A) will exam
ine the historical development of
psychoanalytic theory from the time of

The newly organized Campus
Awareness Network is designed to
promote communication between
socially conscious campus organiza
tions, said Karl Tameler, one of the
group's co-chairmen.
"Our goal is to unite different
socially responsible groups,"
Tameler said. "There's always some
common ground between groups
that work on related issues. . . .We
wanted to pull the groups together
so they can work together and
support each other, and improve
publicity for all the groups," he said.
The organization consists of a
central committee as well as member
organizations such as the Black
Student Movement, the Campus
Gay and Lesbian Association, and
the Carolina Committee on Central
America.
BSM President Sibby Anerson
said, "CAN brings about financial

The group was formed by co
chairs Tameler and Mike Smith in
early September. "We sent invita
tions to different organizations to
come talk about things they had in
common," Tameler said.
Issues are brought up at weekly
meetings, and CAN organizes sup
port for the concerned organization.
"Organizations are more likely to
keep up their efforts if they get the
kind of support we offer," Tameler
said.
But organizaitions decide for
themselves what issues they support.
Anderson said, "Anytime you have
such a large, diverse group, there
won't be complete agreements all the
time."
"We talk about an issue and leave
it up to the individual group to get
involved," she said.

In fact, we'll even pay you more than $600 a month while you attend. That's in
addition to paying for your tuition, required books and fees.
It's all part of the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship Program.
And here is how it works!
If you're selected for a Physician's Scholarship from the Army, Navy, or Air
Force you're commissioned as an officer in the Reserves.
While you're in school, you'll serve 45 days a year on active duty, gaining
valuable medical experience. After graduation, you will serve three or more
years, the length depending on the requirements of the Service selected and
years of scholarship assistance received. " '
As an Armed Forces physician you'll receive officer's pay and benefits, and
enjoy the advantages of working regular hours. You'll also see a diversity of
patients and have opportunities to use sophisticated medical technology.
But most important, while you're in medical school we'll help pay the bills.

tee, said the CGLA must be wary
of supporting issues that might be
called political because the Campus
Governing Council did not fund
political or religious groups.
"There are some clear-cut issues
that we (CGLA) cannot speak out
on because of our members," said
Cathy E'Dalgo, publicity coordina
tor of the CGLA. "We have members
on both sides of many important
issues."
Tameler said CAN helped out
during the anti-apartheid rally on
Oct. 1 1 . "The rally was a big success,"
Tapller said. "We got a lot of help
from BSM members."
Anderson agreed. "The organiza
tion itself has worked well so far,
especially during the rally," she said.
! CAN will sponsor a film festival
Nov., 1 1-14 for any group that wants
to show a film. "The festival will be
a cross-cultural film event," Tameler
said. "We want it to be a conscience
raising event. We want it to open
people up to things not normally
seen in theaters."
