New Grading Scale for 
Fall '93 -
New Grading Scale As -Applies to All Classes 
A = 4.0 
A- = 3.67 
B+ = 3.33 
B . = 3.0 
B- = 2.67 
C+ = 2.33 
C = _2.0 
C- = 1.67 
D+ = 1.33 
D = LO 
F= 0 
The grading scale above was 
adapted this past September 
and will be implemented in 
the fall of the 1993-94 aca-
demic year. The decision w.as 
made based on deliberation 
of the Grading TaskForc~, the 
Office of Academic Affairs, 
and faculty, with serious at~ 
ten ti on given to student input. 
(THE CARBON ran a story 
early in September request-
ing student input, accompa-
nied by a cut-out .ballot.) The 
grading scale, of course, does 
not apply to this year's gradu-
ating class. 
UB HEARD 
To ·the Editor: 
The biggest tragedy of the 1992 
' presidential campaign was the fail-
ure of the candidates to sufficiently 
address the issue of "family val-
ues,, - the most jmportant issue 
facing the United States today. 
Why can't we enact legislation that 
will enable Americans to reacquire 
' the "family values" that we have 
· lost? Here are some suggestions 
which should be endorsed by mem-
bers of Congress and written into 
the,Constitution: 
1. Every family will consist of 
1WO parents (and how ever many 
children). If a man or woman 
does not ' have a spouse, the gov-
ernment will provide one for you. 
This is not a hand out! It merely 
provides a "safety net" for _people 
until they find a spouse for them-
selves. 
. · 2. Every family must sit down 
f9rdinner at least five times a week. 
Congress shall have the power to 
enforce this rule. 
3. Murphy Brown, the televi-
sion sit-com staring Candice 
Bergen, will be banned. In its 
place will be re-runs of Little 
House on the Prairie. · 
,. 
Simply adopting this kind of 
legislation will greatly benefit us 
all. Things were so much better in 
the past: children, until the 1960' s, 
have never used drugs and alco-
hol; nuclear families, for the most 
part, have ensured that poverty 
will be avoided; cultural norms 
that state "divorce is bad" always 
ensured happy marriages ( come 
on, at least our grandfathers had 
the courage to sleep on the couch 
for 20 years)--and teenage preg-
nancy can fi1:1d its origins in the 
last 40 years. My generation is. 
lost; we can only hope that future · 
generations will benefit from a 
wealth of "family values."

1 am not going to talk. about the 
,. election. · I'm resisting the urge to 
speak on the commercial I saw on 
MTV with a large screw going into 
the United States and the blurb that 
read ''Be gentle, Bill." 
Instead, we are going to have a 
vocabulary lesson. 
Due to a conversation with a 
friend, my eyes were opened to 
the fact that many individuals have 
· trouble distinguishing cynicism 
from whining. I thought I'd clear 
that up for you. 
cynic - (sin'ik), n. A sneering, 
sarcastic faultfinder; am~santhrope. 
(a misanthrope is one who hates 
mankind) 
whiner - (hwiner), n. One who 
speaks with a low plaintive sound 
of complaint or distress, or com-
plains and begs in a mean, cringing 
manner. 
I'm sure you see the difference 
now. I will admit to being a card 
carrying cynic but refus~ to be 
called a whiner. Ergo, dear read-
ers, in the future you may accuse 
me of cynicism; but please don't 
call me a whiner.

To The Editor: 
You recently ran an article (Nov .. 
11, 1992) on the Homecoming 
Dance; in it you cited the Booster 
Club's President as being "frus-
trated to the students' overall reac-
tion thus far to Homecoming." 
Perhaps the lack of se,;iousness in 
Homecoming Queen voting shows 
the students' apathy toward our 
perennial popularity contest can-
d_idates. Having attended the past 
several homecomings, I have noted 
that (with one exception: a ran-
dom draw) each year everyone 
knew which campus socialite and 
athlete date would win. 
In short, why bother? It's never 
been anyone I or my friends knew 
... even though we cast our votes 
seriously. 
In addition, not only · would 
anyone I know not pay $50.00 to 
go; they are not willing to pay 
$30.00, either. Consider: $30.00 
for tickets, $8.00 for pictures, at 
least $15.00 for dinner, a mini-
mum of $100.00forthe girl's dress, 
and $10.00 or $15.00 for the over-
priced drinks at the cash bar come 
to just under $200.00 for an 
evening of mixed rap ~d country 
from the cheapest D .J. to make a 
bid. This doesn't include gas 
money, or a hotel room to prevent 
drunk driving on the way home. 
Why would anyone go? If 
you' re over 21, you can take the 
$30.00 and useit to pay for you and 
your date's cover and bar tab at a 
variety of area clubs. This would 
allow you to dress as you 
choose, and dance to a Ii ve band 
playing music you actually like. 
Until homecoming ism.ore appeal-
ing to the students' tastes as well as 
more affordable to the limited stu-
dent income, it will continue 
to-be taken lightly. 
I would be upset by MCSA tak-
ing over the production of the 
dance, as I like the off-campus, 
alcohol-serving format we cur-
rently have. However, if MCSA 
were in charge, at least prices would 
probably drop into an affordable 
price range. Until such a 
time, I' 11 see you on the 14th ..... at 
the Patio ($5.00 cover per person, 
$2.50 beers, $10.00 cab fare at a 
total investment' of $32.50) .

A Bit of Satire 
Corey Cleary 
I was recently pondering upon topics to write about for 
this article while riding in a Dodge Omni with a friend who 
happens to be female; no offense to all you women out 
there, but I almost died. To all you guys out there, has this 
ever happened to you: there you are, riding in the back seat 
while a female friend drives, and a male friend screams: 
"Look out! Look out!SEMI! ! !..." 
To which the woman driving replies, "Shut up and think 
of Christmas!" At this point the man starts singing: "Good 
King Winceslas went out, on the feast of Stephen ... " 
Eventually, after many screams and carols, we pulled 
into a parking lot attempting to reach the Taco Bell, when 
we realized that we were going into the Kentucky Fried 
Chicken Drive Thru-_ ·backwards. At this point in time the 
guy in the front seat yells, "Park! !.. .Parking is good at this 
point!" So, the woman whips· the car around and pulls 
around front of a bank at which she takes up three spots (if 
you know a Dodge Omni, this is impossible ... but she did 
it). "Lines! !...Lines would be good. YES, park between 
TWO LINES!!!", yells the guy in the front seat, who is 
now hyper-ventilating. 
"You didn't die when we swung in front of that Pepsi 
truck, DID you?", yells the woman driving (whose name 
is ·Sarah Riggs). 
Although the event was real, I feel that somewhere out 
there are women who are highly perceptive at all times. 
Sarah is a sweetheart, and a good friend, but.. .she really 
makes me think. sometimes. So, for future reference, if you 
ever see a burgundy Dodge Omhi coming your way .. .like 
Sarah says, "If you don't like my driving, learn how to 
"fly!!"

Marian students help brighten children's Christmas 
by Kare M rphy 
Marian is into the spirit of 
giving. A few weeks ago, 
students and faculty opened 
, their veins to give blood, and 
last week they opened their 
hearts to make some needy 
children smile at Christmas 
time. 
Clare, Doyle, and St. 
Francis Halls joined forces in 
sponsoring a Giving Tree at 
Marian. The tree was deco-
rated with the names of 79 
children who need our help 
to have the kind of Christ-
mas kids deserve. What stu-
dents did was Yil,decorate 
it, which was completed 
Friday, ovember 15. 
Natalie was the coordi-
nator of the project.

Here we go again! I wish 
that everyone could get 
their acts straightened out. 
How many know the mean-
ing of the word procrasti-
nate'! Wehster's defines it 
as "habitu, 1ly putting ome-
thing off to another date or 
time." Admit it, there is not 
one of u who is not jut a 
little bit of a procrastinator. 
will admit it in no time flat. 
fit can wait even a half of a 
second, then it will. I, like 
many others, will put any-
thing off until the la t po 
sible minute.
