The instructors are not inspired by
the general education requirements
and this lack of enthusiasm carries
over to the students.
General education requirements
become “something to get out of the
way.” Each department is concerned
for its major and strengthening its
departmental program, but no one is
concerned with general education and
the relationships between depart-
ments, he adds. ,
“The problem I see is that the bac-
calaureate degree is not an integrated
whole,” said Boyer. He commented
that collecting credits toward a degree
is a relatively new development in
undergraduate education. Boyer
questioned the validity of this ap-
proach to education.
“Does this degree represent
anything we can rely on? he asked.
“Or does it simply mean you’ve
picked your way to the diploma?”
“Part of the problem in the general
education debate is that we’re always
making it all or nothing. We assume
there is only one way to do it, but I
think there are many ways,” he add-
ed.
The general pattern of higher
education, according to Boyer, has
been away from multiple or in-
tegrative majors toward a quest for
credentials in specialized fields.
Boyer cited Cornell as an excep-
tion. “This one (college) has created a
culture in which the drive toward a
credential degree has differed from
most,” he said’. Boyer thinks the
general pattern toward specialized
credentials has created another ten-
sion in higher education, that of
publication as a criterion for success
rather than success in the capacity of
teacher.
“The current faculty culture push
is toward research,” he said. Accor-
ding to Boyer, this push is responsible
for the creation of a “shadow in-
dustry of third, and fourth rate jour-
nals. They’re nothing but junk. I
think the term we need is not
‘research’ but ‘scholarship’.”
Boyer’s concept of “scholarship”
is equally concerned with discovering
new information, integrating that in-
formation with existing knowledge,
applying the integrated knowledge
and teaching.
Boyer thinks institutions of higher
education need to take an active role
in creating a sense of community
among the various groups on cam-
pus. “Community does not just hap-
pen,” he said. Boyer pointed out that
the resident assistant program has
been forced into taking on the social
responsibility of creating a communi-
ty.
One of the things missing from
most undergraduate institutions is the
opportunity for the community to get
together in a variety of forums to
discuss topics of consequence, and to
define the nature of an institute’s
community, he added.
He sees ways, however, for Cornell
to improve its community at-
mosphere. One suggestion was for the
college to sponsor college-wide
forums during block-breaks. Such
forums could range from presenta-
tion of senior thesis papers to lecture
performances by students involved in
the arts to discussion of significant
world events.

The St. Mary’s University Speech
team under the guidance of sponsor,
Ruby Rouse, Speech/Drama Pro-
fessor, took top honors in the
Aggieland Classic at Texas A&M
University December 4-6.
This competition was attended by
21 schools from Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas,
Mississippi and New Mexico. They
compete in events including debate,
impromptu, extemporaneous speak-
ing, dramatic interpretation, com-
munication analysis, duet acting, pro-
se and poetry.
The biggest winner from St. M.U.
was Tim Burns, a freshman political
science major from El Paso. He plac-
ed first in communication analysis;
the third time he has placed first in
this event, and placed second in the
Junior Division Speaker Awards.
Burns and debate partner Dennis
Drouillard, a sophomore political
science major, were also the only
undefeated team in the preliminary
debate rounds. Overall, they took
third place in the Junior Debate Divi-
sion — their second time to place in
the top three of their division at a
tournament. “The tournament was
highly competitive,” said Burns, “It
helped prepare us for future tour-
naments.”

With a Marianist alumni recep-
tion, a heritage display and a
special Eucharist planned, the St.
Mary’s Society of Mary has
designated this week to com-
memorate the founding of their
religious order almost three centuries
ago by Fr. William Joseph
Chaminade.
Marianist Heritage Week will con-
tinue through Sunday with a special
Eucharist Mass to be held Thursday
at 11:10 a.m. in Guadalupe Chapel.
The Mass, which honors the
Marianist heritage at St. Mary’s, will
include the presentation of the
Marianist Heritage Award and the
Student Leadership Awards. For the
eighth year in a row, the Heritage
Award will go to a person in the St.
Mary’s community who displays the
values and traditions of the
Marianists. This year’s recepient is
Peggy Huntzinger, chief nurse at the
Health Center.
This year’s Student Leadership
Awards go to seniors Marlon Ander-
son, Paul Combest and Laura Besze.
On Friday, no events have been
scheduled in remembrance of the
dance!
