Fall break Continued From Page I ing," Merritt Moseley, associate professor of literature, said later. But he added that he's “flexible" when it comes to increasing the general education requirements. The enphasis, he ex plained, should be on content, not number of hours. cation," said Edward Bro- tak, associate professor of atmospheric sciences. But he predicted too many will "ultimately hurt the school" if students de cide to go elsewhere. We shouldn't go overboard," he cautioned. One UNCA student (who reques ted anonymity) seemed to embody Brotak's concern. "This is ny authority," she declared, waving her checkbook in the air. ’"My money keeps this institu tion alive!" She defended the "grea test amount of choice," and argued that most stu dents attend . required courses because they need the credit, and "not be cause of a deep, abiding, curiosity." Requiren^nts, she said, are for high school stu dents. "Do we need slaps on the wrist?" she de manded. But Assistant Professor of Psychology Allan Combs pointed out that UNCA has "two separate, disparate groups" ot students. The needs of the stu dent fresh out of high school may not be those of the returning student. And Combs suggested the curriculum require what every "well-educated" person should know, as well as, provide options for students who can demonstrate proficiency in these areas. The Faculty Senate must also decide if the core curriculum should include a physical education re quirement and, if so, the nature of the courses that would fulfill this requirement. Students must currently take four semester hours of physical education "activity" courses, but the proposal omits the physical education rie- quirement altogether. In a statement read by Roxann Schaffhausen, lec turer in physical educat ion, read a statement by Ann Weber, assistant pro fessor of psychology, suggested that some fac ulty members might con sider physical education a "wasted experience." "Our own experiences weren't very beneficial," Weber explained. "Ttey were often painful and humiliating." "But it doesn't have to be that way," she insis ted. A good physical ed ucation program can make a "big difference in how healthy people are in the future." Schaffhausen outlined a course that would meet the needs of students who are out of shape and dread competion, as well as the needs of accon^)- lished athletes. Such a course would enr- phasize health, not con^)- etition. The aim, ex plained Schaffausen, would be to "develop all aspects of a person: men tal, physical, emotional, and spiritual." Associate Professor of Psychology William Bruce said he favors a required interdisciplinary course of two semester hours. His "ideal" program would incorporate bio logy, anatoniy, health, and psychology. "For instance," ex plained Bruce, "students could learn about the heart and then go out and measure their own level of cardiac fitness." This combination of "academic knowledge and practical application" would help students make "better choices" about physical education elec tives, he said. Many faculty members supported such a require ment . "The idea of a well-educated person in cludes the physical [side] as well," said Milton Ready, associate professor of history. The next hearing will focus on the Social Sci ences and Natural Sci ences requirements. It will take place on Oct. 25, at 3:30 p.m., in the * Owen Conference Center. "Students get constantly run over because they don't give a damn. They don't have the guts to speak up. They simply al low administration to dic tate to them," said Grif fith. Griffith encouraged stu dents to file complaints with student government or housing. Lamm does not see the problem as significant. "It's not much of a problem for most students. The actual number of stu dents who would remain on campus is small. We have not had any students com plain to us," said Lamm. Lamm said it was the students' responsibility to make other living ar rangements . "It is clearly posted in the students' contracts that the dorms will close during fall break, ** said Lamm. Lanm said students hav ing serious problems mak ing alternate living ar rangements during the break should see her in the housing office. The dormitories will also close during Thanks giving and spring break. "Rational people would realize there is a need to keep the caucus open. I am very unhappy with the housing office. The idea of having to find a place to live is very disrup tive," said Hoopingamer. Classifieds Found: Found in Zageir, room 221, one checkbook calculator. Call Mary Frances, 255-8072.
