Thursday, October 20,1994 The student newspaper of Saint Xavier University Volume 63, Number 4 What's Inside New Cranberries' CD delivers strong emotion Page 5 Yanikoski, please be a name with a face Page 2 Cougars' kickers still undefeated in CCAC Page 8 Saint Xavier welcomes President Yanikoski By Jessi Virtusio Over 100 faculty, staff and students filled the Formal Reception Room on Monday, Oct 17, to welcome Saint Xavier's new president, Dr. Richard Yanikoski. Steven Murphy, vice presi- dent of Student Life Services, served as the moderator for the festivities and introduced each of the representatives, who in turn gave short welcome speeches to President Yanikoski. Dale Fast, the faculty representative, began by saying, "We are looking forward to working together with you in the struggles and the difficult times, as well as the good times that lie ahead of us." Fast then presented Dr. Yanikoski with an SXU sweatshirt so that the new president could make sure that he identified himself appropriately. Becky Guerra-Kole, the staff representative, took the microphone next. "We will support you, and we're glad that you are here," she said. Guerra-Kole then gave President Yanikoski an SXU portfolio and an SXU coffee mug on behalf of the staff and the staff council. The students were also represented at the meeting in the form of B.G. Hunter. He added some light- heartedness to the festivities with his introduction to the students' gift of an SXU jacket Hunter said, "This next gift I hope will keep you warm in these very cold, cold Chicago winters." The last of the representatives to speak was Phil Wood, who was there on behalf of the alumni. Wood stated, "I'd like to welcome Xavierite/S. Garchitorena Dr. Richard Yanikoski, Saint Xavier's new president, cuts the cake at his welcome reception which was held in the Formal Reception Room on Monday. you to the community, and we're looking forward to working with you over the coming years." The last gift was an SXU pen, which Wood joked would go well with Dr. Yanikoski's portfolio. Smiling and thankful for the small tokens of welcome, President Yanikoski then took the stage for some short remarks, pledges and requests. He stressed the importance of higher learning and opening the doors of communications. Dr. Yanikoski feels that "one of the most important enterprises in modern society" is teaching "each new generation of students and each new generation of adults to continue the learning process." "It is by learning that all of us make not only ourselves better, but the society in which we live," President Yanikoski said. "I personally believe that one of the few effective levers of social change that we have is higher learning." Dr. Yanikoski pointed out some of the encouraging things about the university. He said that the North Central Association would be coming for its reaccreditation visit and this would provide Saint Xavier with "another opportunity to be introspective and also forward-looking." He also mentioned a federal grant that was signed by President Clinton which would provide much- needed funds for the university. "We need to give some hard and swift thought to the best use of (the earmark) money and also find some additional funds to provide for the many needs that I understand are here." President Yanikoski stated that he is also aware of the limits of Saint Xavier at this time. "We need to maintain tuition increases at a rate low enough to keep this institution affordable to the mainstream students. "We need to raise more money from outside, from trustees, from donors, from foundations, and we've done very well with the federal government Keeping that going would be a major achievement. At the same time, we need to get the financial house in order, be a little more efficient. That's true for all of higher education, not just this institution." In addition to financial concerns, communication is big on Dr. Yanikoski's agenda. "I'd like to start some other processes that would open the lines of communication a little more widely than I understand them to have been in the recent past." One of these improvements in communication is a series of informal breakfast meetings with students once or twice a month. "Students who would like to come and talk in small groups of five to eight people can come and chat with me once or twice a month on whatever issues (they would) like to talk about," President Yanikoski said. Dr. Yanikoski was also concerned about the communication process within the administration. He stated, "I would like to get your See YANIKOSKI on Page 7 ICC discusses new and old business Activities evaluated and new bulletin boards explained By Kevin Plienis and Ramon Esparza SXU club and organization representatives met with Vivian Mendez, moderator of the InterClub Council for the Student Activities Board, on Oct 10 to discuss both old and new business. Evaluations of club and organization activities and events were discussed by Mendez and Giovanna Bottari, another member of the SAB. The evaluation forms, which the attendees of the function fill out, are used to determine if an event or activity had a good or negative response by the students. This helps to determine if the activity was worthwhile and should be considered for the future. The evaluations also help the Finance Committee determine if the event was worth the expense and if more, less or any funds should be allocated towards that event in the future. Various ways to relate information and send responses to the clubs and organizations here on campus were also discussed. Mailboxes are provided in L103 as a method of communication between the students, clubs, organizations, the Student Activities Advisory Council and the SAB. Another method to reach the clubs and organizations at SXU is to call the SAB office at ext 3138 and leave a message. Mendez is responsible for relating messages to the various representatives. The new business discussed at the meeting touched on the new bulletin boards in the hallways. There are two types of bulletin boards. One set is designated for each club's personal use, in order to post upcoming events or activities for other students to see. Some of these boards have to be shared by the clubs. The other set of bulletin boards are the general use boards. These can be used by anyone in the school to post information. There are four general use bulletin boards. One board is located in the cafeteria. Another is in the main staircase by the front entrance. The third is located across from the Bookstore. The fourth bulletin board is located by the trophy case near the gym. One of the main purposes of these boards is to eliminate paper waste and the excess amount of flyers posted in the hallways. Students are restricted to putting their announcements only on these assigned boards. Another method of advertising which the clubs and organizations now have access to is Saint Xavier's radiostation,WXAV-FM. The radio station will be offering free airtime every Thursday between See ICC on Page 4 UCC resumes advisory role to Faculty Senate By Suzanne Sapienza Faculty turnout to Tuesday's meeting of the Faculty Senate was low compared to that of recent meetings.

Senate President Dale Fast and members of the senate explained to the UCC that its role will not change after cuts are made. The UCC will continue to be an advisory group to the senate responsible for dealing with new programs as well as any curricular changes.

When asked where this confusion of role came from, the chairman of the UCC described a letter he received from Interim President Sister Colette Mahoney stating that "the UCC is going to have a big role to play" in restructuring, making reference to a more "proactive" position for the committee. The bulk of the session focused on the presentation of a document prepared by a senate task force detailing "guidelines for professional development" to be included in the faculty handbook. After a lengthy discussion, the senate decided to delay approval of the document until its next meeting on Nov. 1.
