Currics cause no problems

By David Kung | October 18, 1995

Although the Classes of 1998 and 1999 are operating under a completely different curriculum than the Classes of 1996 and 1997, College officials said the two different sets of degree requirements have not caused any administrative headaches. Acting Registrar Mary Farrington said the next two years will keep her office busy because it has to keep track of two sets of codes for every course. But Farrington said the scheduling system is "completely computerized," making juggling two requirement lists not very troublesome "for most students." The new curriculum, which took effect last fall for the Class of 1998, included a new set of more specific distributive, interdisciplinary and world culture requirements.

Punches rare in new plan

By Michael A> Posey | October 16, 1995

Although it is too early to assess the impact of the College's new meal plan, Dining Services Director Peter Napolitano said the plan has served to reduce the number of students opting to get punches. Approximately 800 students chose a 14, 10, or five-punch meal plan this fall, according to Napolitano said, compared to about 1500 last year. The new meal plan, which took effect this summer, eliminated the freshman punch requirement and instituted a sliding scale of fees for declining balance accounts. Sophomores were charged $25 this term, juniors paid $38 and seniors had to pay $70. "As anticipated," more students chose to purchase a DBA, Napolitano said, creating a considerable drop in the numbers of students choosing punches. Napolitano said the effects of the new dining plan and the reduction in the number of students opting for punches will be assessed Winter term. "Everything has been working out pretty good," he said.
