C o l l e g e p r o p o s e s p r o j e c t 9 0 f o r c u r r i c u l u m c h a n gBy Betsy LantzA new expanded liberal studies corean d a new departmental structure wererecently proposed to the Mercyhurstcommunity by the col lege administra-tion as part of a report entitled Project90. The report also Included proposalsfor a faculty development program, a

Dr. William P. Garveydepartmental self-evaluation, and thecreat ion of a freshman supportprogram. i"We have provided for a lot of theneeds ot the first Master Plan," Col-lege President Or , William P. Garveysaid. "The col lege Is In good financialhealth, it has a steady enrollment, andIts faci l i t ies have been brought up todate. Now in the second five-yearMaster Plan of this administration, i t Istime to move the col lege in a quantumleap forward on the academic scene.""This is the time when a col legebegins to look very carefully at itself,asking 'How is i t that we can pol ish ourinsti tution - our curriculum - in order toset our sights on reallyt)ecoming a col-lege of qual i ty and excel lence?'," add-ed Academic Dean Dr. David Palmer."I t Is an institution-wide self-analysis."As stated in the report's preface byDr. Garvey, these p roposals are sim plyideas, which "await the reaction, sug-gestion, clari fication and revision ofthe entire Mercyhurst communitybefore Implementation in 1986-87."

The proposed general studies core,to replace the present Foundation,Distribution and Senior Cores, wouldInclude required courses In four areas.A Literacy Core would emphasize thebasic ski l ls of writing, research,m a t h e m a t i c a l ; a n d p h i l o so p h i c a l!reasoning, scienti fic thinking, andcomputer understanding. A WesternHeritage Core would be based onWestern trad i t ions and Americanheritage, while a Contemporary WorldCore would address non-Westerncultures, American government andp o l i t i c s , w o r l d prob lems an deconomics. The final Human Develop-ment Core would deal with human

behavior, psychology, ethics andreligion. *This new core w ould requ ire 17 to 19courses, compared to the present 14.This leaves 15 major courses and eightto six electives to the student. Aspointed out by Dr. Palmer, such an ex-t e n s i v e c o r e p r o g r a m g r e a t l ydiscourages double majors, althoughthey are not directly prohibited underthe proposal. "Frankly, we don't wantdoub le ma jo rs , " commented Dr .Garvey. "We think that the best train-ing for a student when he enters theworking world is breadth, not depth.When a student double majors, heover-specializes too early and losesbreadth. A better system would be to.work out a major and a minor."According to Dr. Palmer, the propos-ed core program "increases andenriches the liberal arts, non-majorcomponent of a student's curriculumat the school. This reflects the institu-tion's values. Pointing out these fourareas helps the school to clarify anddefine what it thinks is important in theducat on of a student at M ercyhurst.".,Project 90 also includes a proposal| for both a national standardized testand an in-ho use test ho be ad-ministered to incoming freshmen whowould then be retested as outgoingseniors. Scores on these tests wouldnot affect ai student's graduationel igibi l i ty, but would be recordedjonth e transcript, r * 4 $T As Dr. Palmer explains, these testswould be based on a "learning out-comes " or "value-adde d"! approach,which serves to answer the question,"How did Mercyhurst make a dif-ference in the stude nts' growth? " Theresults of such tests w ould be appliedto further refining and improving thecol lege's educational methods, he ad-ded. "We can the n begin to say in moreconcrete terms that we are a quali ty In-sti tution, because we wil l have a han-dle on what it is weido in order tocreate the results that we get."' Under another proposal Included Inthe report, the college's departmentalorganization would be reduced from 19departments to ten divisions. "The ad-vantage is more efficien cy in the opera-tion of all the academic departmentsand discipl ines at the col lege," Dr.Palmer said, noting that prior to 1980the college was organized into eightdivisions. | i$ In * addition,* a dep artmental self*evaluation ^proposal calls for eachdepartment to compare Its qual i ty tothe quality liberal arts colleges In th ereqion and to other insti tutions in nor-thwestern Pennsylvania. To be com-pleted by May 15, 1986 in preparationfor the new Mercyhurst College MasterPlan (1986-1991), these evaluationswould also be used to raise the qualityof education within each department.Under the outlined faculty develop-

ment proposal, the college would ap-point a director of faculty developmentwhose responsibilities would includearranging special faculty workshops;developing a mentor system, a facultylounge and a faculty evaluation pro-gram; publishing a faculty newsletter;and ordering faculty professionalpublications for the library. r > %The final prop osal, presented by theOffice of Freshmen Studies, is aimedat greater retention of students at thecollege by improving the freshmanyear experience. Under the proposal,studen ts would be informed earlier andmore often by the Dean of pooracademic progress, while academicachievement would receive greaterrecognition. This proposal also sug-gests the development of a freshmenorientation course and outlines goalsfor an improved academic advisingprogram. , -Although the proposals will bedirected at incoming freshmen in thefall of 1986, current freshmen will begiven the opportunity to graduateunder either the present system or thenewly implemented program ,' Dr.Garvey said.He added that the proposed corecurriculum and outcomes testing pro-grams wilt go before the AcademicPolicies Committee of the CollegeSenate. The faculty development pro-posal will go to the college's Faculty

Policies Committee, while depatal reorganization and self-evawill be worked ou t by the Dean ad e p a r tm e n t d i r e c to r s . Th eministrative Policies Committee senate will propobably be revthe freshmen support proposa

Project 90 and beyondThe term "Mercyhurst community" seems to find i ts way Into most ofthe articles printed In this newspaper, and yet it seems to be a rather am-biguous phrase. Of course, one reading it Immediately thinks ofstudents, faculty, administration, staff, alumni, trustees and even the

families of the se individua ls. What often seems to be lost In the defini-tion of this popular collective noun, however, is that there would be nosuch entity if it were not for you, the students, ij.

I Imagine some ofthe essays were rather brief.

Numerous wr i ters havecommented on the-impact ofEuropean colonization on theindigenous peoples of NorthAmerica. An equally profitableline of inquiry, Initiated by theanthropologist A. I. Hallowedand currently being exploredby historians like WilcombWashburn and James Axtell, isthe impact of the Indians onEuropeans in America. Manyschool children are familiarwith Squanto (Tisquantum) In-struct ing the Pur i tans ofPlymouth on the proper plan-ting of maize. To many he isthe stereotypical "good ln-|dian", surprising since he hadspent several years living inEurope having been seized in1614 and sold as a slave in| Spain. Withou t native foodsand the Indians' instructionson how to plant and preparethem, the first colonists wouldnot have survived.

Thanksgiving is a good timetforv us to contemplate ourNative American heritage inthe form most familiar to us -

The salt porkIs a recent substitution forbear or venison.This was followed by a maincourse of venison, turkey,squash, cranberry sauce,green beans, mashed potatoes(not, unfortunately,.the nativeIroquois purple potato), ghostbread, salt pork, cornmealmush, mashed dried beansand boiled corn bread.

venison and cornmeal mush -which they reported was quitegood. Last year the people Iwas with thought the mushwas gravy and liberally pouredit over everything; they, too,gave the mea l pos i t i vereviews. -Next year I think I'll eat bymyself. The.
