Wednesday, Feb. 3, 1993 The Daily Collegian News/Op — 3 ^Confusion leads to dfopped MS degree Master of Science degree eliminated; course^offeringsjp^ remain txle^ame By Mike Palmer Staff writer Master of Arts or Master of Sci¬ ence, the chairman of the Depart¬ ment of Mathematics couldn't re¬ member which degree was re¬ quired to pursue the doctorate pro¬ gram, so he decided it was time to eliminate one of the degrees. Mathematics Chair Larry Cusick said that student confu¬ sion over the two degrees rather than the budget crunch was the reason the department requested that the Academic Senate elimi¬ nate the Master of Science degree. He said that in other disciplines such as psychology, the Master of Science degree is for the clinical , program and the Master of Arts degree is for the theoretical pro¬ gram. This distinction really doesn't apply to mathematics as most of it is theoretical, Cusick said.' He said that eliminating that de¬ gree alone will not cause any change in the courses offered by the department. All options' previ¬ ously available with two degrees will still be available with just the Master'of Arts degree. ' Cusick said that CSUF has two types of masters programs, one for doctoral candidates and another for prospective secondary or junior college teachers. Most mathemat¬ ics graduate students are in the latter program. Stanley M. Ziegler, dean of the School of Natural Sciences, said he was not aware of any adverse comments from students or any other parties about the change. He said the change was initiated by the Department of Mathematics prior to commencement of the cur¬ rent appraisal process and would not result in any significant cost savings. The degree will be eliminated in the fall and will not affect current students in the Master of Science program, Ziegler said. Cusick said the budget crunch has affected course offerings in the Department of Mathematics but has not delayed the graduation date of any students. , ' "We have used independent stud¬ ies to accommodate the few math¬ ematics students who were unable to complete all of their major re¬ quirements because of course un¬ availability,'' Cusick said The Mathematics Departrnent pre¬ viously was able to offer about half of its graduate students employment as graduate assistants, but this year was only able to hire six out of 30 graduate students. Ifbodgetprcolems continue, Cusick predicted thatstudentenroUrnent would eventually have to be limited rather than continually eroding the class of¬ fings to students. Column From "page 2 lease on life and their libido. However, us Generan'on-Xers, punks, pestpunks, grungers, skaters, ravers, frat boys, etc, run into a minor inconvenience known as statutory rape. As anyone who has spent time in "the joint" can tell you, jail time is not conducive to the pursuance of a higher education. Hanging out in front of a high school can also bring on the sensation of being a pedophile. You can't blame women who have become quarry for the poachers. The statistics and numbers are not their fault, and anyone faced with the choice between trie gift of a shiny new Swatch or a ten-year-old Rolex will riiou- tiian likely go for the Rolex. ' There is no easy solution to this I dilemma, aside from a new Endangered Species Act making it a capital offense to date anyone who was under 14-years-old when you were graduating from high school, or doing something nasty to these irksome thirty something sugar daddies, like spiking their brie and Pellegrino with saltpeter. Neither seem too bad an idea whenyou get cut off on the freeway by some snappily-dressed middle manager in a red BMW convertible simultaneously talking into his car phone and shaving with a cordless Braun razor in an attempt to look cool and , important. COMING SOON! Wed., Feb. 17th Satellite S.U. 10:00am - 2:00pm ^ I realize,.in defense of this self-righteous diatribe, that I too will hit the big Three-0 one day in the foreseeable future and be preoccupied with an expanding waistline and receding hairline. But then again, I might be run down next week while crossing Shaw Avenue by a 32- year-old stockbroker in a Range Rover attempting to cram more paper into his portable Fax machine. One can only hope there is a kernel of truth to the link between the use of cellular phones and brain cancer. Jason Tefada is a columnist for The Daily Collegian. CATHOLIC STUDENTS ST.
