A ‘Degrading system
tm#r*w r*# mustranor
FROM THE PAST: The University brought bock the D grade beginning in 1978
after an absence of seven years Confusion was rampant around campus as each
department set its own policy as to whether a D was considered a passing grade
for graduation The English department stated that the D is excluded from satisfy
ing The University writing requirements, and the math, journalism and sociology
departments considered the D a passing grade Plusses and minuses in the grad
ing system were also added to “curb grade inflation.' said the then-assistant regis

Campus starts ‘Habitat’ chapter
by Mike O'Leary
Hy ew On>gon CUV {"waw
A campus Habitat for Human
ity chapter will add a new
dimension to the local Habitat
partnership and to campus phil
anthropy
Habitat for Humanity is
known nationally for building
affordable homes for low in
i ome families The new campus
chapter was co-founded by Uni
versity students Ryan Coonerty
and Paul Kalil.
They had both volunteered
with Habitat for Humanity in
their hometowns, but the idea of
starling up a campus chapter
didn't get rolling until this
spring, when Ryan and his
housemate Paul were looking
over a news clipping about a
Habitat home Ryan had worked
on The group has been building
momentum ever since.
The chapter has had three
meetings this term, and has over
tit) active members The group
has also attracted interest from
different service < bibs, religious
groups and Greek organizations
"It's really great to see that
kind of networking going on
already, said ASIJO President
Eric Bowen. "When one student
group can team up with another

sold the land to Habitat at a

This Habitat home is spon

Forest Products Coalition.
Coalition members donated
thousands of dollars in build
ing materials and will be vol
unteering their construction
know-how to help build the
home.
Before the house is built,
the Ross family is required to
volunteer at least 500 volun
teer hours of what’s called
"sweat equity.”
Randy Ross said it hasn’t
been easy to find the time
away from work and his chil
dren to volunteer on the con
struction.
Construction of the house
has been moving swiftly
since November, and the
Ross' home is expected to be
completed in February.
it's bound to produce a more
dynamic result, and it avoids
unnecessary or unplanned
d u plications."
Coonerty is excited to see
such a diverse group of the stu
dent body getting involved at
the meetings "We have every
type of people at the meetings,
and they show up with a
tremendous amount of energy,”
he said.
Coonerty said the people run
ning the other local Habitat
chapter have been very helpful
during their start-up phase.
"Here, they want to teach new
people how to do the work,"
Coonerty said. They've made us
feel really welcome."
With plans to take a work
party to Central America, the
possibility of contributing to
University housing projects,
plans to team-up with other
campus chapters in the state,
and several local habitat homes
on the drawing board for the
coming year, the campus chap
ter is looking to a busy year
ahead.
