easy to pul off,working on it at
times,” said Pfazza.
The forthcoming of his son
was a tremendous motivation
for Piazza- Although the book
was not complete when his son
was bom, a great deal of the
work was done prior to his
son’s arrival because Piazza
anticipated the demands of par
enthood.
He anticipates the book’s
publication, and he looks for
ward to the critiques from
other political-scientists.
Piazza also commented on
his editor’s review of the work
thus far: “I definitely saw that
beauty is in the eyes of the
beholder."
Piazza is considering
working on another
publication either in the form
of a book or a series of
articles. He said the project is
inspired by the terrorist attacks
on September 11, 2001.
In this project, he will
examine whether terrorism
increases with increased eco
nomic inequality.
Piazza will begin the
preliminary research for this
project this summer.

all of the program’s features
will take at least two years
because the system requires a
tremendous amount of
programming.
“You have to look at every
thing you are doing,” said
Todd, “and tell the system
[what to do.]’’
Telling the system what to
do will include re-entering the
information of every student’s
record into the new system—
both a tedious task and a long
process.
Before the Datatel system,
the Registrar’s Office “would
give you a closed class slip,
and you would run around
campus to try to beg your way
into a class." said Todd.
During preregistration, Todd
said that department heads
would be given an opportunity
to look at Ihe waiting lists and
“make more fair judg
ments on who can enroll."
Todd thinks the waiting list
for preregistration will be fair
er to students overall.
“[Before Datatel] the
squeaky wheel got the oil,”
said Todd- "The student who
got to the professor first would
get the class.”
A student wanting to enroll
in a closed class will be given
three options during preregis
tration; She can I) choose
another section, 2) choose
another class or 3) ask to be put
on the waiting list,
according to Todd.
Meanwhile, in preparation
for the future use of Datatel. 26
department heads and staff
were trained on the new
program this week.
The Registrar’s plan is to
eventually have student's
register from their adviser’s
computer. When the College
bought the Datatel system,
they also bought a
compatible program called
WebAdvisor, a program that
will assist adviser's with
registration.
Also, Todd hopes the new
systems will eventually cut
down on the amount of hard
copy forms students are
required to fill out when
requesting information such
as grade report copies or
changes of address.
Once the Datatel system is
fully employed, professors
will be able to report grades
by computer.
Todd is looking forward to
the features of the program,
but stressed that it's full use
is still in the future.
‘‘[Preregistration is] not
going to look any different
from the other side of the
counter—until we get to a
closed class,” said Todd.
