May 3, 1971

By Bob Parks Associate jEditor

the long-awaited arrival of Spring term brings with it the annual ritual of student govern­ment and class officer elections. This yeaiy however, the elec­tions jwvecLto be a departure from the ordinary. Three of the major ^elections, R.U.S. Presi­dent, Vice-President, and Trea­surer, ended in fie votes. These executivelpdsitions were finally deckled after another general election. % \ Elected President of^R.U.S. for lWl-72|by|a wide( margin was Betey;BienfeIdt, a* junior math major.-Assisting Betsy as Vice-President will be JBeni Curreri, a junior "Elementary-Education major. - Maureen Sullivan, a sophomore liberal Arts major,

will assume the past of Secre­tary, while Karyn Smith, a sophomore Elementary-Educa­tion major will serve as Trea­surer. %

.President-elect's {Program fietsy's platform %m be divid­

ed into four major areas: social, academic, athletic, Sand govern­mental. The social aspect con­tains such ideas as a student activities director, and a social guide. The academic part stress­es a student course evaluation and a revised appeals board for grade disputes. The athletic plank of her platform calls for the initiation of a pep club, cheerleaders, and bus transpor­tation to athletic functions. And lastly, nthe governmental chang­es Betsy I would like to initiate include an election policy!com-

Angelica Pioneers iiForeigndStudyLJ

On^September 28, 19711 Sister M.. Angelica and thirty Artjstu-dents from eight different col­leges will leave America on the Leonardo da Vinei. for the Jun­ior Art Year Abroad program. They will pioneer the first ex­perience of ajEuropean Mercy­hurst campus in |Florence, Italy. I

(With the beginning of this new project comes the finalization of Sister's chairmanship of the Arlr Department here at Mercy­hurst, which she has chaired •since it received official appro­val* from ithe State of Pennsyl-vania in 1950. Under her guid­ance and inspiration lit^has grown to^e one of the largest and best known art departments Of small Liberal Arts Colleges in ithe nation. Repeatedly, our art: department has (received commendation from the state and^other crediting agencies.

iSister Angelica received her early training at Carnegie In­stitute in Pittsburgh an<£ contin­ued therrart studies afc tfie Art Students* League in Newf York Ciy - the Gloucester School of Painting, |andIThe? Academy of ifine A$ts,£Venk&, Italy. She has further deepened her knowledge iby studyingjunder suchjpaintin& masters as Maxwell Starr,* John

Cheteuti, Guiseppi Santomasa and^others, as well as extensive traveljin Europe.

•She has 'been a regular exhibi­tor in local and area Art Shows* and has had One-Man Shows in Pittsburgh, New York City, Washington, D. C, Thiel Col­lege, Greenville,! and Erie. Her works hang in over fiiftylprivate collections tihroughoutlthe coun­try.

vWith the opening of the Mepcyhurat extension in Flor* ence students will have $the op* portunity to study artf in the land of the great masters, and will be offeredl courses in His* tory of Art, drawing, painting, graphics, sculpture, ceramics, Jewelry making, and weaving.

(Dr. Joseph Pizzat will succeed Sister Angelica as head of the art department. Dr. Pizzat* is now the chairman of the South-western State University of Minnesota in Marshall, Mmne* sota.iHis experience and educa­tion weU qualify Mm for his new position and we welcome him. f '

When Sister leaves for her new home in Florence, *a big part of Mercyhurst's art depart-ment|will leave also, her enthus^ iasm and concern for all of her students will be greatly missetl*

.Athletic Issue One Of Priorities

fey* Sister llUtir Brocke

* I would like to raise audibly "the burning question" at Mercy­hurst .College. Is the faculty, and student body behind the sports program the administration initiated with the approval of the Boafd&of Trustees? In particular, the extramural basketball pro­gram? The reason the question Keeps arising ever since the an­nouncement of th'e sports program, Maytl970,£is that the decision was made unilaterally, not to full dialogue "with the student body nor with the faculty of the college.

Twhyldo-I press this issue when I-ant completely in favor of Meircy hurst College going coeducational and have always sbeen pulling for moite student participation in sporfe programs, and, in fact, hope flha$ Mercyhurst does develop a strong program J

The issue is one of priorities. Should t we not|look carefully from the viewpoint oft economics. Why, atf a time* when universi-tieawlike|Ne^ York University aAfl the University of^Tknfpa, pull out oftextramuraLbasketball fbi financial reasons and flack of stu­dent body support does Mei«cyhtars& getfinto th<* arena (seefErie Times-New 4-18-71). These schools ?have'large student bodies and access?to more -state and fetlerai funds than Mercyhurst. Is Mer­cyhurst not operating at a deficit? Will students be paying for athletic scholarships (inclndingf room and iboard), reeruitang and travel?expenses, equipment, renting a gymnasium-—obvious costs as well as hidden costs—-such as expensive insurance policies, tuition, a salary forfajtop-notch coachf and awaTds. We are going into this economic^ venture at a time when I hear discontent on campus 'aboa^Jnadequate laboratory\ supplies' from students and faculty displeased because funds havefbeen cut for professional meetings. Why, when Jmany colleges and universities iare cutting athletic budgets in a time of tight money,} does Mercyhurst decide to put the money>.THERE. (See CHRONICLES OF HIGHER ED­UCATION over the winter|70-71.K pffi ¥ 1

^Thte administration will tell you it is necessary to do this in-order to recruit maie^studenteji The administration is consciously trying4o changefthe Mercyhurst image from 'a:girted school image to $ne$that wiUft attract men. In the*proeessiof this change, will the real purpose of Mercyhurst College |be lost—the development of of thinking?* principled persons. 4 i f fr- ' £ t

The college heads also em­phasized1 the increasing enroll­ment of the college—now over the 700 mark with fall enroll-1 ment projected as a near 30fr students—and the change from an alil women's institution to a coed college as reasons war­ranting increased security.

QUESTION OF SECURITY

Monday night a number of rise since his arrival. Binoculars were stolen from, the astronomy lab. The next morn-ing Siv Mathew reported the incident to her class remark-ing that It was such incidents as this which necessitated po­lice states. I thought it strange she should mention police stat­es right away. Shortly there­after our new found friendly flat foot was on the case.

I had only heard . rumors about the new chief of security, none of which were good. So I tried to find out what he £ was really upjto around here. Ac­cording to the Administration his tasiks are those oi$investiga-

-tion, heading the Daulb's men, and 'keeping a check onjout-siders' for?a while". He is also

4 supposed to |>ut*a check on "the vandalism and%thefts,|which in-

• cidentally, appear to be. on the

I talked to7*Carr myself and hegtold me that he just meets the kids "on their own level, that's what they like". He con­tinued saying: "»I ain't here to harrass nobody." He then chal­lenged me to question some boys in the hall as to whether or not he had harra&ed them. Needless to say, I didn't ask them. I felt that it-would have been like asking a boy in ma-, ririe boot camp if he liked his jdrill sargent with his drill sar­gent present.

I presianted Garljjwith an idea which had been put! to me by various nameless individuals. The idea had arisen that^Carl's friendliness; .would be used a^ a .weapon against students in his investigations and^other po­lice actions. Carl denied that this was his intention, and re-

s

Is That? ton, Carl?

Rick \Lamb

peated that he was only trying to meet the kids on their* own ground: It's apparent that he is trying to meet "thefkids" but I question his sincerity. It is

*

not hard to see that in order for m anyone to make any kind of S investigation, they are going to

have to know who» to talk to. And vthese .^individuals he be­friends will give preformation eifher consciously or unconsc­iously. His major access tohhe studenti body is to. 'befriend them. This is what he is trying to do; One can easily see that in a community such as ours; J for a police force* to be effec-•tive and efficient they have to be friendly and not forceful. The 'efflfectiveness of our secur­ity force would be greatly*ham­pered if it's pif fieers tried to pressure students for their help.| Most students are beyond being intimidated, and are not about

.to bequeath power to a force J above them. Therefore, stu«j

. dents would not be likely to resjpond favorably to a man tell­ing them what to do.This is an­other reason for the "get to know everyone attitude" of Oarl. If students don't know his

., position, then they are not likely to concede any power tojhim. Students w i not respond |to his authority as an * individual but rather to the£ axrthorify of his position. Theoretically, if any-j one wishes to; they can remove themselves from his power simply by ignoring him. Thus, if Carl is bugging you, ignote him. He can't shoot you (at least|l don't think he can).

I can't understand anyone be­friending a man|who they know is likely to scutinize their activi-ties1! Whatever iOaarFs redeem­ing qualities may be, he is a cop and cops are tali ears and eyes. And his nose may find its way into your private*business!

Sporty's Be!ieve|It or Not! : The R .UJSJ Elections were heM on^Thfflrs., April 22, 19». Ties resulted in the final count for the offices of president, vice-president^ and treasurer. <jWith a total of 7 candidates and 1226 votes cast, the possibilities of this oocuring|are one in 78 mill* ion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor^ ~I would like to weteome Carl

Kalinowski, the first director of security, to Mercyhurst. His ap­pointment a few weeks ago has definitely^ strengthened the com­petence of the campus security force.

I decided -to ask! a few stu­dents what they thought of Carl himself, and if he was a neces­sary- man on campus. I receyedj many different, views from the students.

The first view I received was that he was only fecetious and] quite redundant. This was from

one of the male students. Another one of the >men ton

campus said that Mr. Kalinow-ski sticks his nose in where he is not wanted.

The view of the girls seemed to differ. They said that they were scared to death with the Daub's mem protecting them and maybe Mr. K. could get them jumping, \ * 4 #>rie student, who ha<Li a.con-

frontation with Mr^K—. said he asked Mr. K—'. if this was going to be . a * maximum security campus" to which Mr. K. re­plied "It damn well will be".

Of course only time will tell; but after chatting with Mr. K, I have to admit that a person off his high calibre can only help Mercyhurst.

Mike Creghan •j* * *

To all the students df MercV-hurst, I wish to express my sin* cere gratitude. Your interest in the past election was gratifying-I sfialK endeavor to hQ^eqixal to the confidence you have plac­ed in me by my election as vice-president.

Sincerely, Ben Ciirreri

A Contingent Vrom Mercyhurst College marched on the na­tion's capital on April 24 to show their desire for "peace—now!" Tliis contingent included about fifty students and various faculty members. I was part of that contingent and would* like to express my {feelings concerning the entire endeavor.

At least % million people listened to Coretta King, Vance Harke, RalphjAbernathy and many, many other dignitaries. They spoke^ of fan immediate withdrawal of all American troops from Viet Nam.

Sports! Editor

J&m >. K w t

Certain editorials that have appeared in this publi­cation, and the mimeographed "muck-raking" sheets (finallyivouched for) have basicallyjquestioned a person wanting to be athletic as wellfas a student. Criticism is

anyth I only ask-why these people don't want to give intercol­legiate athletics a fair chance to be established on; this campus. Is it so wrong for any student, male or female, to want to participate in athletic competition, whether it be intramural or intercollegiate? '

I WORLD TREND * First of all, I challenge the statement that the " jock-

attitude" is a unique phenomenon of American* society, if? this was peculiar to America, why do millions of people throughout*the world so strongly?follow-the World Ciip soccer matches every 4th year? Soccer isn't even played to any extenfcin America, football is "the" game in the U. S. However, soccer has been proven to be the No. 1 spectator sport in J the world. Do alt those people who avidly follow soccer do it for an intellectual exercise or are they, (heaven forbid!) guilty of having a "jock-attitude"? " ii ? * I md & -m* -3

They, perhaps, want to feel the pleasure and release that athletics bring in the spectator and the participant form. \I agree that concentrating on athletics to an extreme isn't good for the development of anyone. However,-^extremes are usually always wrong. I don't see anyone criticizing a \ purely * "intellectual-attitude." It woul(l be a very shallow person who Would avail him­self Hotally to an?intellectual climate. IS IT SO WRONG that college^students want to have a physical as well as intellectual exercise of their abilities? '

I /The ancient Greeks had an ideal* that a J well-trained body* went jj "hand-in4iand" with a well-trained mind. They felt that if the * body was poorly; conditioned, this would have a detrimental effect on the mind and "vice-versa." If the Greeks, .>who were one of the greatest in­tellectual civilizations ever to?exist, felt that athletics add scholastics complimented one another, then they must be criticized for having a "jock-attitude" also.

ATHLETIC VS. INTELLECTUAL The |"jock-attitude" has been attacked as a man

trying to "prove" himself, only physically, in any way. It doesn't follow for me, that if a man has to prove him­self on an athletic field, he has* to keep on proving his manliness in every< aspect of his .existence. It happens, this lis true, but to generalize about every person who competes athletically does this, is stereotyping an ath­lete. According to this logic, a man that has to prove himself in the intellectual field, will! also keep trying to prove himselfjin all the other! aspects of his life.

f Can anyone prove that a person who has to prove himself in the classroom isn't as "bad" as a person who feels jhe has to prove himself on the athletic field? Is it lessiari:evil that a person would go'around to prove? that everyone is an intellectual inferior to himself, and a greater evil that a physical person wants to prove himself the physical superior to all. It's-easyUo see that both are extremes and just as bad (at least to me), but, of course, I'm a "jock" and I'm supposed Ho be physically inclined.

In the final analysis, it seems thati people who are criticizing the "jock-attitude" don't know what a "jock" feels. Sure! there are those that are only jocks {just as those who are only*"intellects." Many athletes have been scholars,i just as-many scholars double as athletes. Why does the NCAA pick a "Scholastic All-American" te^m every year if not to underscore the development of a complete person. I realize that everyone isn't athletically inclined, but why be down on anyone who wants to mix sports with school, and life? The people at Mercy hurst who want to have their "jock-attitudes" are just as con­cerned with; their total development ;as|those who aren't interested? In > sports* As fargas I know, no tone has criti­cized a person just wanting the intellectual experience Mercyhurst goffers.? Why * can't wef just live together—Is ft too much to ask even at such a petty level as between "jocks"Iand\"intellects"?J"Jocks* fyant rtheir "world" to be as?peacefulvand meaningful as everyone else's. Why not give us a chance to prove we are human too7P*
