XAVIERITE Fine Dining a restaurant review Page 5 Black History a month of celebration Special Insert Vol. 67, No. 11 The student newspaper of Saint Xavier University Friday, March 26,1999 Students experience headache scheduling online By Rosemary Mazurowski News Editor Saint Xavier University has stepped into the future as the entire Summer 1999 and Fall 1999 course schedules are currently available on the web. Current and prospective students can view the course schedules at the SXU home page. To access the schedule first you must connect to the Internet from any computer with a browser. Access the SXU web site by typing in the address www.sxu.edu. Once at the home page scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click on the words COURSE SCHEDULE. You can scroll the entire list of course selections from art to weekend offerings by clicking on LIST. Students can also view course selections from individual departments by clicking on INDEX. When you are finished with one department click on the BACK key to return to the Index and select another depart ment. This is the most up-to-date information and the site will be updated daily. It is also possible to print part or all of the schedule if students feel it is necessary. A printed copy of the schedule was impossible to produce in time for registration due to the new intricate software system being put into place at SXU, Colleague administrative software. According the Assistant Registrar Barb Sutton, "The new system is Y2K compatible. Saint Xavier has taken huge steps to be ready for the year 2000. We are all going to have to take time to adjust to our new system but it's going to be great." Sutton went on to say that without this new software the school would not have been ready for the year 2000. Marshall Warren in Academic Affairs said that, "We have been working on the Y2K problem for two years now." He went on to say that SXU has been carefully planning to prevent problems with the year 2000. However, student reaction differs from administration. Junior Alejandra Torres said, "Not everyone has a computer at home or in their dorm room. The labs on campus are bound to be overcrowded as students take the time to pick their courses for the fall." Student Dorothy Pace said, "The information is not organized. Some of the courses do not mention prerequisites that need to be taken first." "I believe having the schedule on the Internet is very inconvenient because some people do not have a computer at their fingertips," said student Jenny Mutzbauer. Business management major Faten Elayyan said," I think it makes it difficult for the students because they are dealing with so many different department's course listings. It is an inconvience for the students. It is very time consuming." For students who cannot access the schedule on the web, copies of the Fall schedule are currently available to view in the Office of the Registrar (A203), Adult College (A202), the Academic Advising and Testing Center (LI 12), Library and each department and school office. The entire academic year schedule will be available in limited printed copies by mid-May. The rest of the registration process will remain the same. Students must meet with their academic advisors prior to their registration in order to assist planning their course schedule for the fall of 1999. Students who enroll in Summer 1999 courses are welcomed, but not required to meet with their faculty or staff advisor. Registration will take place April 5-9, from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., daily. The exact day students may register depends upon the amount of credit hours the have completed. The Registrar's Office reminds students that they may only register for themselves. Appalchia spring break: a time for reflection and goodwill Photo Courtesy/Jim O'Donnell Jim O'Donnell and six students chose to spend their spring break helping to rebuild houses with the Christian Appalachia Project during their spring break. By Shannon Doherty Viewpoints Editor Take a group of students on Spring Break, one eager alumni and what do you have? No this is not a trick question, this a very interesting story about a group of people who took their spring break and made it into a life experience. None of them went on a cruise or basked in the golden rays of sunshine in some tropical country, rather these individuals devoted their week to doing projects for the Christian Appalachian Project. This project is the biggest organization that supports work weeks for students who have decided to do an alternative spring break. Six students, who learned of this project from Campus Ministry, represented Saint Xavier University this Spring Break. The six: Roberto "Pepe" Lopez, Vanessa Blada, Parmella Walker, Kristy Finn, Taneka Montgomery, Phadra Rajabar and Jim O'Donnell, part of Student Life Services, Station manager of WXAV and alumni; drove eight hours to Jackson County, Kentucky to work for a week on homes of the people who live in the Appalachians. The Appalachia's were destroyed when the 60's and 70's mining companies reaped the land of crude oil, destroying much of the ecosystem and leaving it without repairing the devastating damages. The group was split up when they arrived at the camp and put into groups of students from other schools such as University of Madison, Southern Indiana and Loyola University. These people were then given a project designated for the week. The crew would wake up early in the morning around six or seven a.m. and after a quick breakfast they were taken to their site. The site consisted of a person's house which was in need of serious repairs. These people were stricken by poverty and have no money to do the repair themselves.

Schumann Managing Editor Stuffed bunnies and Easter baskets are being delivered today to Children's Memorial Hospital and Saint Elizabeth's Catholic Worker House. Organized by St. Xavier's Service Club, the Easter project is touching more than 200 family's lives. This morning, 120 Easter baskets are being delivered to sick children and their families at Children's Memorial Hospital, 707 W. Fullerton, Chicago. Service Club members are delivering the baskets and stuffed bunnies to each child personally. Nikki Poulakis, Service Club secretary and community service coordinator explained, "Easter is a hopeful and renewing time. The baskets give the children a comforting and caring feeling, it's nice for the children to know that other people are thinking of them." At Saint Elizabeth's Catholic Worker House, a transi tional shelter for women and children, Easter baskets, bunnies, activities and dinner are planned. "It's overwhelming for the kids because they might not have got- Easter is a hopeful and renewing time. The baskets give the children a comforting and caring feeling... ten anything. It's like a double whammy, with the gifts and the party. It is really great to see so many people come together and make a difference," said Poulakis. Ten Service Club volunteers organized the event serving 45-50 people at the shelter. In addition to making dinner, Service club also rented a bunny suit. SXU students Dewey Lee, Jr. and Dominic Petruzzelli will play the Easter bunny for the children at both the hospital and the shelter. Faculty, staff and students donated stuffed bunnies, coloring and activity books, stickers, crayons, and bubbles to the Easter project. In addition, Margaret Carroll, school of education professor and moderator for the council for exceptional children chapter, organized a separate volunteer group to put together over 60 baskets. Also, Tri-Beta, SXU's science club, donated 25 plastic pails filled with activity books, games and little stuffed ducks. "The Easter project is great, it shows the community is still interested. It's a great feeling. It's nice to see that Service club has so much support," explained Vicki Ringbauer, Service Club president. This stuff is fake... ZZ Z Xavierite/Karyn Horn Jim Wand amazed and entertained students and faculty once again when he visited campus on Wednesday, March 17. As with his past appearances at SXU, Wand drew in a large audience that crammed into the cafeteria to watch his performance. Simulating police shootouts, Spice Girls impressions and drinking "Happy Juice" on the beaches of the Bahamas, Wand hypnotized students and put them into interesting situations for the crowd's enjoyment.
