Colleges cost so much now — it's sort of like buying a car without looking under the hood to pick a college without looking for the curriculum. Lynne V. Cheney, Humanities Chief

An interesting survey was published on Monday in the San Francisco Chronicle. The study was conducted by the Gallup Poll and was commissioned by the National En­ dowment forthe Humanities. It asked 691 college seniors 87 questions on history and literature.

The Gallup Poll found that:

1) A majority of those polled could not identify the Magna Carta, the Missouri Compromise, or Reconstruc­ tion.

2) A majority can not link major works such as "The Republic" "The Tempest," and "Paradise Lost" with the respective authors Plato, Shakespeare, and Milton.

3) More then 40 percent of college seniors cannot place the Civil War in the correct century.

4) One fourth ofthe nation's college seniors do not know that Columbus first landed in the Western Hemisphere before the year 1500. In response to this alarming problem, the National En­ dowment Chair, Lynne Cheney has proposed a motel curriculum for colleges. Her proposal is called "50 Hours: IN ABOUT A WEEK A Core Curriculum for College Students." This could ease the burden with which many colleges arc currently strug­ gling. One of the main criticisms of Cheney's report was Dear Editor, May wc leave you with this thought.

Jacques Maritain was a French Philosopher who made quite an impact on the world of thought, in the fields of education, politics and art, although his primary work was in metaphysics and the theory of knowledge. He died in 1973 after he was professor of Philosophy at Princeton for a number of years. There are Maritain associations in Canada and France. There is a Spanish one and a Venezuelan one.

disastrous to those women who get abortions anyway? First of all, nobody says that muggers are going to mug, or raptsts are going to rape, so it shouldn't be against the law. And those things happen all time. Why' because we believe that it is evil and should be against the law. And similarly, I don't think its an argument to say that women will have abortions anyway. Society has an obligation to give witness to its fundamental values through its laws. Secondly, most people live their lives right up to what the law allows. If abortion were rendered illegal, a vast number of people simply would not have them.

Foghorn: It seems that only the seml-fanatlcally religious care about abortion. Arguments for and against abortion have to stand on their own ments. It doesn't matter who's arguing: the question is, is there evidence to support the claim that abortion is the direct killing of an innocent person, or evidence to support the claim that it is not a person. But to answer the question directly: it is the impact of the Judeo-Christian ethic ^EHY of Graeco-Roman society that has shaped the values of the West and more and more we see this growing appreciation for the dignity of the human person, and ' and hated, by different people.

We need to emphasis those things that lift the spirit or we * ill not have the strength to accomplish what we should...We've got to come back and re-charge our batteries, and that's why this church has to be kept beautiful. It has to be treated with loving care, because we arc its stewards." Fr. Gagan also thanked all of the students who helped work at the event
