Garvey: Yes.Doran: I understand you askedMiss Forsyth and Miss Price,tosign a waiver. Did you ask anyoneelse in the college to sign awaiver? ' * 1Garvey: No we didn't. We didthat to help them. If we had notasked them to sign the waiver,(both of them would have beensent letters of release lastOctober the first. After a personhas spent three years at thecollege, APU regulationsstipulate that they be given a

year's notice, which means bothof them required a year's notice,which means .they had!to benotified a t t h e e n d of September ifthey were not going to be rehire d.The Phys-Ed situation'' w asdisastrous. Neither one carried afull teaching load; both had thelightest! teaching load in thecollege and we could not justifypaying the kind of money we we repaying for Phys-ed for peoplewho were not fulfilling thei rcontract in term s of work.Now we felts w e had af moralobligation* to carry' them theentire year \ whether > they hadenough work or not. However, nocollege: anyuhere will carryfacul ty! m em ber s who ha dnothing to do - and that includesthis o n e . Therefore, we explainedto them that we would send themtheir notice at? the end of September and we would of coursework all year to try to save theProgram and we might be able torehire one. Oi they could waivetheir *noticefuntil February, inwhich case we would try to savethe program between Septemberand February. That was done fortheir benefit. They were not beingreleased*for any reason otherthan they weren't occupied. ^ |Doran: What relationship doesthis have i.:-with the! NewCurriculum? \ *i Garvey: What happened wasthat the students didn't takePhys-Ed. That's what's ironic

about all this furor on the pa rt ofthe students. The students are theones who have refused to takePhys-Ed now. Do you seriouslyexpect a college to canyftwopeople who have nothing to do?Now we suggested tha t the Phys-Ed Department make a series ofchanges which would hopefullymake it possible for them to increase student enrollmentsWe donot want to see Phys-Edfdisap-pear from the college, so nextyea r we are going to carry* twoPhys-Ed teachers for 600 girlsand none for 450 boys is about aslopsided as twojjmen teacherswould b e . J?LaDuca: What kind of changeswill be proposed n ext year for thePhys-Ed Department?..Garvey: We are looking-for aseries of changes which willprovide three-creditcourses.4l.aDuca: Are they all going tobe three Credit courses?Garvey: Yes, so that a studentcan take a fourth course. We arealso considering some theorycourses sucri as Theory ofCoaching,* Advanced WaterSafety or Firs t Aid. il.aDuca: Will there be an increase M money given to thePhys-Ed Department next year?. Garvey: Yes. For the lack offacilities, w e will have to continueto go off campus more and more.But the student must rememberthat when we do this, theirchances of a tuition increase go

u p . We are trying to hold the lineon cost. It Sis our responsibilitythat all-the money spent is absolutely necessary, t ^ S 1 *; *>LaDuca: H as the money allotedto the Phys-Ed Department in thepast been decreased considerablyihis-year? SifTi7?!? t.Garvey: Yes, because oi thedisastrous decre ase in enrollmentthere was no need to allot moremoney, Y *' k kDoran: As I understand it, acertain amount of the StudentActivities fee is given to theAthletic Department. Now thatthere is an Athletic Departmentwill there be a shift in where th atmoney goes? ? f IS" * &. .Garvey: ^No, thei^AthleticDepartment will still receive theoriginal twenty percent. In factwe are considering dropping theActivities Fee and picking it up inthe tuition cost. i.Doran: What factors wereinvolved in reaching the decisionbetween releasing Miss Forsythor i\l iss Price? ;*?. .Garvey: The Department Headrecommended that while both arccapable, Miss Price has a moregeneralized interest and is moreuseful to the entire *program;whereas Miss Forsyth's particular skill is in the area of golf.The fact of the matter is that M issPrice has been judged by herDepartment head to be moreversatile and of grea ter potential

use for the future. Miss Forsythwas not letjgo because she wasincompetent or ? because thecollege did not want her. She waslet go because changes in theDepartment necessitated r. somereadjustment: The serious dropin2 Phys-Ed enrollment, thegrowing number-of men, and theincreasing demand for versatileprograming. All these adjustments were employed to savethe Physical Education Depart-ment. ,3L a D u c a : W h a t d e c i s i o n s w e r emade in the Curriculum meetingsconcerning the entire* Phys-Edissue? J; f* mt L |? jg..Garvey:i The* CurriculumCommittee reported ftol th eExecutive Council that they couldreach no decision after sixmeetings. They reported thattheir entire deliberations concluded w ith no majority decision.LaDuca: Were Miss Forsythand Miss Price given the chanceto design a new* Phys-E dprogram? g S ; |Garvey: They were given thechance, y e s , b u t unfortunately thechance was given'to them toolate. After all the J enrollmentswere in, it was discovered thatnot only were the old students notregistering for Phys-Ed, butneither did the new ones. Theprogram should have beenchanged prior* to registrationwhich on our p art was hind-sightrather than foresight...

by Rick M itzThe Relevancy ofI Relevance f

1 True Confession: I laugh at"All In The Family" and havegotten so used to growing up withLucy on TV that I just can't cutthe cordial run the water while I.brush my teethJl use Tide. Andtwo-ply toilet paper. Blue. Withthose little fleurs de lis on them.^Because they match the motif ofmy bathroom. 'I enjoy blazing fires in myfireplace. The last movie Isaw was "Lady and the Tramp,"which exploits women. My bottles

ar e nonreturnable and I don'tseparate?my garbage; which Iburn inmy blazing fireplace.I just can't help it. I'm a failureat relevance.There are, however, somethings about which I am relevant.I don't have a snowmobile or asable coat? But!that's about it. Iread the wrong things (Nash, notYevtushenko). I eat the wrongthings (meat, not brown rice). Ienjoy the wrong^ theatre (NeilSimon, not Albee).Solwhat can I do?, I am aproduct of an educational systemand a biodegradable environmentthat mak es me feel I have to take

the pleasure out of pleasure, theenjoyment out of .enjoying. Theproduct of a guilt-ridden culturewhere free-love means I alwayshave to say I'm sorry. IBu t what's so relevant* aboutrelevancy anyway? ;A while fago, I v isited theUniversity of Wisconsin campusat Green Bay a college totallydevoted to the study of ecology.There one student told me, "It'sokay, but you feel guilty doinganything that's not relevant." Ithought Hhe remark 3 wasridiculous. After a day there, Ifound myself checking the soap in5. the school lav soap dishes toImake sure they werefusing themight Kind, f

So what is relevan t? Bicycling?Good for the environment. Cutsdown on air pollution. But I don'tlike*bicycling. It s not good formy psychological environment.And what is meaningful? It'sthe hey-day of the academicradical chic where f everythingmust have a Profound Meaning;where anything more than a pairof jeans and a stereo systemborders on ^decadence; whereback-to-earth means back-to-dearth.IB| Ecology, racism, f women'sliberation, war and the rest of thelist are all important issues. Toooften, it seems that it's not theissues that are significant butonly the relevance of the issues.We feel guilty if we're not doingwhat's Right, and we feel Wrongif w e're not feeling the guilt.

There are thingslittle andbigthat can be enjoyed. Fortheir own sakerAnd for no otherreason. Too often the RelevanceRegalia focues only on what's notthere rather than what exists.For some people, perhaps, thepatterns of smog formed from adingy smoke stack might beaesthetically pleasing. Thatdoesn't justify the polluting smog,but it creates a new and positiveviewpoint where even theugliness of pollution can have itsown beauty. *--. ;*Truthfully, ijjhaven't? resolvedmy own guilt feelings about beingirrelevant. True jConfession: | Inmy city* The Lucy Show is one atthe same time as the EveningNews. So I sit near the colortelevisionreceiving radiationand||constantly recycle thechannels back and forth from oneshow to the other.| Last night,Lucy talked about the casualtiesin fViet^ N a m | whiles WalterCronkite p ut on a Ch arlie Chaplincostume and danced at*a|PTAmeeting.
