(Photo by Bruce MacFarlane) liberal Arts faculty dumps combinations By RIK SCARCE Editor in Chief The faculty of the CoUege of Liberal Arts recently approved a special faculty committee's report urging that combination majors be abolished and in their place "interdisciplinary" or minor programs be set up. The report, submitted by the Committee to Study Minors Programs, stated, "AU combination majors should be eliminated; not, however, including interdisciplinary majors as Humanities, Russian Studies and Social Science." What this in effect does is to eliminate majors "composed basicaUy of a simple linkage between two or more departments," such as the popular English-Business combination. More information on what constituted this "simple linkage" was not given in the report. Those presently enroUed in combination majors would not be effected by the committee's move. In place of the combination majors would go either "integrated, interdiscipUnary major or logicaUy related courses" or "a minor in a department, which should consist of not less than eighteen credit hours in a department." Furthermore, the estabUshment of a new major or minor Continued on Page 3 Susa|i Ives wins SUB election - again By JOSEPHfSlElitM Associate Ed&er Mu defeated both Farinacci for sentative at election that Brooks' first election. ip™*r§ with less out at Ives capfaraf percent plus we anefl|fl election by ofr <oo| aad Joe ftRepre- of of flie thnwing SO win the The official results from the election were Ives with 97, Farinacci with 44 and Brooks finishing with 39. There were 10 write-ins. "I'm happy that it's over because I can't afford to spend any more money on campaign materials," Ives said matter of factly when asked about her convincing victory. "The inuendos and gossip concerning the whole appeal process were absurd," Farinacci commented. "I want to thank the 44 people who did vote for me; it means a lot. The reason I didn't campaign was the fact that I realized the position meant more to Tom and Susan than it did to me. I'm happy for Susan. I'm glad she got it. Also, the Student Assembly is to be commended for its just way of handling the whole episode." Brooks would not go on the record with his thoughts about finishing third again, but he was obviously distraught about the entire election process. "I want to congratulate Susan on her fine victory. Susan has run a fine campaign," Brooks said. The election was managed carefuUy by the Student Assembly to avoid a repeat of the problems that plagued last week's voting. In those elections, several. Union Board members aUegedly urged voters to poU for Ives. In addition, SUB members were manning the baUot box, to the consternation of some involved in the election process. magazine gets new name, facelift Known as '^taaaSaaf" fir the first two years of its existence, Stetson's literary nmearair Pb year received not only the new name "Touchstone," Int Bak also undergone significant changes in the printed format andintiieallBiBdcadhflntors. Conceived tefp juijk ago hy Mary Lubbers, editor of "Litrachur" her junior and sadv safes at Stetson, a Uterary magazine of this kind is relatively nor; fe tike Stetson community, and according to Shelley Stempel, edMtf flMpnfy christened "Touchstone," "Just the fact that Lubberegot«piiB«itallwasquiteafeat." The changes bmgmaale are an attempt to hone the rough edges of the magazine, adfipg ffl&TtBaemaA and polish acquired in the aging process of the pnhBragim fflamroaoted Stempel,"The magazine itself is going to be a lot be&^mm§&& year. It's going to be typeset instead of just printed so it wffifeaikWiiAmore professional." Lending be»t> objpfin to the magazine is the carefully chosen nomenclature "^Emiifftitam." The idea of using "Touchstone" as the new title was fflrigsaa?% proposed by Mano Farach, Business Manager of the magazine, m aft$M;fHainstonning session. On the significance of the name, Stesnapd taBHafe "Touchstone was a character in Shakespeare's play 'As Yon Kite Wjeto used words in lots of different ways-he really had a coaajasaji tf ft^gish language. Also a touchstone is a criterion or a standaiisojHeifcp^t tot would be appropriate." Another significant modification in the magazine is the acceptance of works from artists and writers not attending Stetson, which Stempel claims has aided the pubUcation. States Stempel, "It's the people around DeLand, New Smyrna, Daytona, but it's limited to 20 percent of the magazine. We're trying to get some stuff that represents Stetson and also the local area. That's why it's helped a lot to have the people from around here contribute." Although tha staff hopes to. have tbe magazine available eariier than last year, hopefuUy in early April, works are still being accepted for consideration. Comments Stempel, "We need a cover; we would Uke it to go along with the title but it doesn't necessarily have to. We need some more artwork-we need some more of everything from the Stetson people because that's 80 percent of the magazine and we've gotten a lot of stuff but we could use some more. "I want everyone to know that I appreciate what I've gotten because I haven't sent out any notice that says 'thank-you' or 'I received your poems or whatever' but the response has been good." Stempel also commented on the lack of staff members for next year, as aU of this year's staff members are seniors, and suggests that anyone wisjing to work with the magazine next year or to submit works for this year's pubUcation can contact her through P.O. Box 1108. Looking to the future, Stempel expresses the desire that the tradition of quaUty and striving for professionaUsm wUl continue, stating, "I hope every year people wiU do that so (the magazine) gets better and better because it has a long way to go." ....
