Next fall, incoming freshmen who had introduction to psychology or sociology in high school will be exempt from Cabrini's own versions of those same courses. Along with this change, incoming education majors will also have more freedom of choice. Education majors who currently must take introduction to psychology before they can take their required psychology courses, will be able to choose between introduction to psychology or introduction to sociology before taking upper division courses.

The highlight of the Superthon weekend Olympic activities was the tug-o-war held over the pond across from the gatehouse. Due muddy conditions, however, the game had to moved onto the soccer field where the junior class 'easily' defeated the competition.

According to Dr. Anthony Tomasco, chairman, psychology, this is technically not new. "The new requirements provide students with an option," he said. "Now there's a choice, you can take intro to sociology.This allows students more flexibility." Current education majors seem to agree with these new requirements. "If I took one of those courses in high school, there's no reason I would want it again," Deanna Zulli,junior, said. "I think you should be exempt from taking it again."
'I think its a good idea. I majorin math too and didn't haveto take modern college math.' -Angela Bove,senior "I think it's a good idea," Angie Bove, senior, said. "I major in math too and didn't have to take modern college math." Dr. Kathleen Daley, professor, sociology, expressed concern regarding the lack of. choice students were confronted with. "I wouldn't say there were hordes of people (complaining) but I had people come in and say they wanted to take sociology but were rostered into psychology," Daley said. Tomasco said the changes are in the best interest of all involved. "First, there will be greater flexibility so students will have choices, especially in regards to sociology," Tomasco said. "Second, it will avoid redundancy between high school psychology and first level psych in college." Tomasco also plans to have incoming freshmen who had good high school psychology or sociology courses reminded to take C.L.E.P exams.
No, Brian Fitzpatrick, senior, is not getting sick. He and a fellow senior comrade are participating in the pieeating contest. Although the freshmen did defeat the senior team in this event, that was okay because Fitzpatrick and his fellow team members got a good work-out trying to wrestle down the pie.
