Business majors still ask their dean, Andre Delbecq, Ph.D., for advice on a double major combining business and humanities, sciences or engineering. Most students are given the opportunity to carry a major and a minor.

Graduates Return to Teac Their experiences as students help instructors to build the close relationships they once enjoyed with their professors he short term effects of alter- ations made at SCU were often criti- cized by students and facultyg however, the benefits of these changes may be recotg- nized by students an faculty of the future. Over the years SCU has made changes such as admitting women and building new facili- ties. Current students did not recognize these changes as past im- provements but as characteristics of the University. Those who were most able to see these changes and a their effects were those who attended SCU and later returned to teach. One SCU graduate who could appreciate the University's changes was Rose Ma- rie Beebe, Ph.D., the Modern Languages De- partment. As an in- structor she took ad- vantage of these changes, When I at- tended Santa Clara for- eign languages weren't required for science or business students. Since I'm teaching stu- dents who are re- quired, rather than want, to take my class, it's more of a challenge for me. I'm forced to by Sheila Gould be creative. Dr. Beebe also used other depart- ment's facilities to en- hance her course. For instance she used the T.V. faculty's video machine to tape Span- ish skits produced by her students. The 84-85 school year was the first with double majors and mi- nors. Henry Demmert, Ph.D. who graduated from SCU in 1965, saw two sides to this pro- gram. The doub e ma- jors don't leave enough extras. With a double major the courses which are the key to liberal arts are elimi- natedf' On the other hand, Dr. Demmert felt that a double major combining business and liberal arts was useful compared to two majors in business or two in arts. Dr. Beebe would have had two minors with her major if SCU recognized them when she gradu- ated. She commented, Double majors and mi- nors will be most bene- ficial when graduates are seeking jobs. The aspects of Dr. Beebe's and Dr. Dem- mert's careers as stu- dents which both feel carried over into their careers as instructors were the relationship they had with their professors. Dr. Dem- mert, developed a close relationship with a pro- fessor who strongly in- fluenced him to teach at Santa Clara. As a teacher, Dr. Demmert developed this sort of relationship with some of his students. I open up to them and allow them to open up to me, said Dr. Dem- mert. I want to help them as lmy professorj helped me. Dr. Beebe also opened up to her students. Some of my professors were per- sonal friends. I've tried to cultivate what they've done, but to a greater degree, Dr. Beebe also gets to know her students through her teaching techniques. I ask them personal ques- tions in Spanish. It's like killing two birds with one stone, I learn about my students and they learn Spanish. Santa Clara has al- lowed Dr. Beebe, Dr. Demmert, and others to take what they learned and use it in their teaching. Dr. Bee- be concluded, I want- ed to come back to Santa Clara. I want to always be a part of it. I love this place! Graduates Return To Teach

Double majors and minors allowed students an EXPA DED RRICU U Bob Senkewicz, S.J., said that the double major program offered business and engineer- ing students the chance to experience liberal arts classes and gave humanities stu- dents a chance to en- roll in more technical courses. Nancy Ed- dinger, a junior mar- keting major, com- mented, A minor in history has made my studies much more in- terestingf' Any student could have a double major in any two departments of Engineering, and Arts and Sciences, or any department in Arts and Sciences combined with any department in Business or Engi- neering. And only in the Biology Depart- ment were academic minors denied. Although the minor program was consid- ered permanent, the major, students were forced to give up elec- tives in order to meet graduation require- ments. Janie Carmena, junior economics major, commented, I tried to get a second major in education, but found that I would have to use up all of my elec- tives in order to gra- duate on time. After the trial period, the University was to decide how many elec- tives could be used to- ward a double major and if the required to- tal units to graduate with a double major should be increased. Despite the questions raised in the first year of the new program, many students were excited to have an op- tion for a second de- gree, and many took advantage of the op- portunities an extra majorfminor offered. by Lisa Varni Expanded Curriculum
