Making this required ments. before graduation will help prepare students for the future — CAA members should approve this change. Another proposed change includes the elimination of the Constitution requirement for graduation –— PLS 1153C/1193C American Government and Constitution and HIS 3600C/3690C The U.S. Constitution and the Nation. CAA members should vote down deleting this requirement. All students should know the three branches of government and other information covered in these basic courses before they are able to graduate. Most of the information is covered in high school, but with students coming from different high schools, the only true way to make sure this information is known, is to make it mandatory. The elimination of two math courses from the core also will be voted on today. The proposal seeks MAT 1990C/PHI 1900C Logical and Critical Reasoning, and MAT 1180C Historical Development of Mathematics, to be axed from the general education. CAA members should vote no to this change — eliminating these courses means eliminating course selection – and Handing out Bibles on leaves Mathematics, A Human Endeavors as the only You r t u r n option for the mathematics core requirement. street has helped some Letters to the editor SpeakUp CAA members should remember who will be ulti- I would like to address Meghan McMahon’s column on why church and What do you think the 21st mately affected by these votes — the future students of century will bring?
