PROFS. REFLEC tudents weren't the only mem- bers of the Santa Clara community who eeded the opportunity llc get away from the hectic schedule of col- lege life. Administra- ors and faculty alike ecognized the impor- lltance of discussing to- ics away from the dai- y routine, and teach- rs were encouraged to attend special faculty etreats, which were rovided throughout he school year. The last faculty re- treats were held in the early 1980s and the current administration decided it was time to evive this worthwhile rogram. The 1984-85 ersions offered facul- ty an opportunity to Elk informally with niversity President William Rewak, S.J., as well as express their opinions to vice- presi- dents Paul Locatelli, S.J., and Bob Senkewicz, SJ. Six re- treats were held, each with approximately 40 teachers in attendance, at the Jesuit retreat house in the Los Gatos hills. The sessions last- ed only four hours on Wednesdays to facili- tate attendance. Fr. Senkewicz said be- tween 85 and 90 per- cent of the faculty took advantage of the op- portunity, in his words, a good turnout. The day was divided into sections, each with a discussion led by one of the administrators. Fr. Rewak's talk em- phasized the Jesuit tra- dition of the University and stressed improved collaboration between the various groups in the Santa Clara com- munity. The president said interaction be- tween students, teach- ers, non-faculty and administrators was im- portant to improve the direction of Santa Clara. In order for the University to continue to grow, Fr. Rewak said, lines of communi- cation had to remain open. Fr. Locatelli dis- cussed the academic life of the University. Teachers were asked for input on their man- datory course load which required them to teach seven classes per year. This meant that at least one quar- ter was filled with three classes. Many felt this amount of work prevented some professors from giving the proper amount of attention to each stu- dent and to research. Fr. Locatelli's section also considered Santa Clara's academic calen- dar, the benefits and problems of the quar- ter system, and the lack of classes on Q 2 2 it il Wednesdays. Finally, Fr. Senkewicz spoke on student life and plans for developing student services. Some specific questions involved the balance between male and female students, the possibility of creat- ing more space for on- campus housing, and the effectiveness of the intramural program. After each presenta- tion, the faculty was given time to ask ques- tions, exchange reac- tions and raise other areas of concern. Those faculty mem- bers who attended the retreats considered the experience worthwhile, and Fr. Locatelli was pleased with the re- sults. We received positive responses about the discussions, - said Fr. Locatelli. by Chnf. Many teachers said Stamp? 'S their day was enlight- and Klm eningf' Clark Escaping the hectic schedule of the quarter system, faculty members met at the lesuit retreat house in Los Altos Hills to discuss informally topics ranging from course overloads to the effectiveness of the intramural program. After spending a day discussing the Santa Clara approach to teaching, studentffaculty interaction, and faculty workload requirements physics professor Philip McCormick, Ph.D., talks with a colleague about the future of SCU.
