B y Chris Van W agenenOn Thursday, iApril 7, Mercyhurst announced a raise intuition for the 1977-78 academicyear b y $ 1 9 5 and also an increasein room costs by $100. ^George Kidd,- vice president ofbusiness services, toldf TheMerciad that tuition increasecame about because of fourreasons:a J I LSupply costs, salaries, utilitycosts and a fall-off in the budgetbecause the number of studentsanticipated was-1250. Currently,only 1 2 0 0 attend M ercyhurst on afulltime basis. With only 1200students, the college faced adecrease in the current incomebudget by about $120,000.Another reason given *for the

tuition hike had to do with threenew programs J which will beinstituted next year." The threeprograms are physicaleducation, dietetics, and an alliedhealth program.Kidd didJ however, 'indicatethat financial assistance to thecollege would be going up. I/ 'Financial assistance willincrease by $5o,ooo,n he said.Kidd w a s impressed by the waythe College managed -to cut itsbudget. jfe &- |"I think the college did a goodjob in cutting the budget becausethe i first round increase wassmall."* The Merciad asked Kidd if hewas concerned about' the w-

B y GaryMembers of the MercyhurstCollege Board of Trustees metprivately * with * more than 40faculty personnel, on cam pusTuesday evening, April 19, todiscuss the faculty's role inreviewing the contract of Dr.Marion L . Shane, president of thecollege. s 1A ccording to B a rry Gflroffsm anchairman of the faculty policiescommittee, the faculty is settinga precedent in seeking J anunofficial voice in contractmatters involving a laypresident.Dr. Shane, who is completingthe final |year of a five-yearcontract as Mercy hurst's first laypresident, is being reviewedaccording to college procedure asan ad hoc-Board committee.Members* ofi that committeear e Sr.jjCarolyn Herrmann landSrJEustace Taylor, R.S.M.;fMs.Jane Theuerkauf* Erie"attorneyPeter G. Schaaf and ex-officiomember Herbert S. Ascherman,president of the Board. . %The * committee and an Unspecified number of "other interested Board members" \wereexpected to attend Tuesday'shearing with the' faculty,Grossman said."We want them (the Board) tolisten to us," he explained. "This,is the first time a lay president isbeing renewed, and we feel weshould have some input."GuidelinesE for hiring a newpresident involve the selection ofa sea rch committee composed ofstudents, * faculty and administrative^ personnel. According to faculty spokesmen, no

Wesmansuch guidelines exist (outside theBoard of Trustees) for evaluatinga sitting president. '*A resolution to seek consultation with the Board waspassed at the turbulent March 30meeting of the full faculty."If there was no concern aboutthe leadership of the college, thisaction probably would not havebeen taken," Grossman said. "Intimes of tranquility, this wouldn'thave been such an issue."j | Results of (lie "faculty-Boardmeeting i were i n o t known j atpresstime. | t #' %A second resolution passed atthe March 30 meeting, notifyingDr. JerryjTrimble of objectionsto his conduct of the Dean's i of-ficeJ apparently was incorrectlyreferred to by faculty membersas an official censure.Faculty and administrationspokesmen told The Merciad thata censurejmust be voted on anddescribed specifically as such.Dr* Trimble reiterated his earlierstatementftthat* the | resolutionincluded no mention of censure.

"It; was; n o t defined as such,"Grossman said, "but it is amatter of-interpretation."Since the official raction (bywhatever label) was taken in lateMarch ^and made public lastweek, relations between facultyand administration haveremained somewhat in limboA"It's a mood of watching andwaiting," Grossman said. "Wehave verbalized land demonstrated our concern;! n o w it's inthe hands of the administrationand the Board." (Continued o n Page 3)

creases in tuition and room.I'm very concerned," hereplied. "A lot of students mayn o t b e able to afford it ; that's whywe increased the financial aid.Overall, the increase will beeight per cent next year, m eaningthat th e tuition will increase from$2380 to $2575. Though this is asizable increas e, financial* aidwill offset*that;fit's going Up 13per cent.Besides the increase in aid,Kidd cited j another benefit forstudents next year:' "Outsidefinancial aid services havechanged their, criteria and moreaid will be given next.year," hesaid. \ MWhen the college decided toraise the tuition, a motion was

made and passed by the Budgetand Finance Committee of theTrustees, that the tuition increase should be kept as low aspossible. 'When asked aboutfthe rise inroom costs, Kidd said that thedormitories lost $90,000 thisyear. Kidd further explained thatthe loss came about because ofthe increase in light, heat,payments to maintenance andstaff and also the bonds whichmust be paid off on the dormitories. He also said that the$100 increase is an attempt* tooffset the loss of $90,000.Will the cost go up again? "Iwould hope not. All we can hopefor is to cut costs and to look foran increase in enrollment. Only

those two things will offset thetotal cost for next year."Kidd did say that costs will begoing up again in the future, \. f"All private schools arebecoming much more expensive," he said. ^ Could the college go undersomeday because of these costs?"We're not dying, but there is agreat concern that students, inthe future, will not be able tomake a choice between a largecollege like Penn and a smallerinstitution such as Mefcyhurst,"he said.To make the choice easier forthe future, Marion L. Shane,president of the collegers tryingto get more aid for students. Dr jShane is a recognized leader irthis national movement. i | Will the audit affect financialaid for next year? I i"The audit will not j affectfinancial aid for next year,"emphasized Kidd.With the increase for bothtuition and dorm, students havegood reason to be displeased, .butlike so many other institutions inthe United States, Mercyhurst isjust beginning* to feel the crunchof costs due to inflation.Gals & Dads

Saturday afternoon from about 2:30 to 4:30 they|played outside in the Grotto.

the adm inistration th at I was going to City Halland inquire into the idea of a traffic ligh t on 38thStreet this week. I am now writing this letter toinform you of the results of that v isit.After riding around for 15 minutes trying tofind a .parking space and observing WJET'svehicle parked in si no parking zone, 4 contemplated parking ^there also and taping aPRESS sign to my windshield. I voted this downand soon found a space two blocks away.Entering City Hall, I looked at the directoryand soon found my goal which was T.J. Con-neely, City Traffic Engineer. I quickly went upto his office and was greeted by his secretary.After telling her my nam e and why I was there,I was promptly ushered into Mr. Coneeley's office.I told him of the numerous accidents that hadhappened outside of our gates and the troublepeople had getting onto 38th Stree t. I thai askedif we could get a traffic signal installed ."In order to have a, traffic signal installed,there would have to be at least 75 cars comingout every hour for an eight hour period. Also, itis up to the state to determine w hether a trafficsignal is needed. -"This may sound funny, but traffic signalscause more accidents than; you might think.Maybe one person will see the signal and theperson behind him might not. This is thefrequent cause of accidents.' '| I then asked why we couldn't get a three waystop sign installed. This wouldn't be as good as asignal I but it would be a start.He told me th at, "in order for a stop sign to beinstalled you would need 200 cars coming outevery hour. If you can't meet the 75 cars perhour, you couldn't meet this ."I then ^expressed* my concern over the accidents and that inaybe someday, someone

T he Mrc was able oobtainiaccounted a 2 H r * fa .cu 1^ meeHng and learn the contents of privateresolutions sent oCollege Dean Dr. Jerry Trimble and Presidentur manon s>nane. Many seem oassume, regrettably and falsely,mat one or two faculty members, motivated by a personalIgrievance, initiated investigation through a whispering campaign|or by luring a reporter with promises of a "hot scoop."

. ^ S S ^ i f 0 1 1 * are tasked over and over is, in short "Whospilled the beans? ] \ The answer is, no one.T h e whole process began, as d o most investigative reports, with atip - one couched inpthe vaguest and most general terms. It wassoon learned that others (staff and some students with a knowledgeof campus politics) also knew of the tone and results of the March30 faculty meeting.

Thus, while the resolutions were not common knowledge, theywere not exactly a secret^ either. | ^ | jIn the early stages of the questioning, no facts were used by thereporter to obtain m ore information until they had been repeated,and thus confirmed,! by a second source. fFrom there the story gathered a mom entum of its o w n . The finaldraft was pieced together from interviews with 16 separate facultymembers (some of whom were approached m ore than once), alongvith administration response, totalling upwards of 12 hours ofconversation. % $*Some who have looked beyond the more titillating questionsraised by the article have questioned the propriety of facultymembers having spoken to T he Merciad at a l l . Some have accusedthose faculty of "a breach of confidence and a breach of ethics."

While it is not possible to disclose or even guess at th e motives ofall who cooperated with us, this much can be said: SThat with some individuals, the decision to cooperate to agreater or lesser degree did seem to reflect his or her personal andprofessional opinions of Dr, Trimble and Dr. Shane. But generallythey did not.and that little of th e information was volunteeredgratuitously.Most w as o btained through co nfirmation, denial or clarification.

It must also be stated categorically that at no time did the administration try to suppress, edit or otherwise prevent publicationof the story in The Merciad.Dr. Trimble, in particular, was cordial and straightforward. Hesubmitted to two lengthylinterviews f|one an hour-long midnightsession in his office. i lP*Dr Trimble did, however, rem ark thai he felt th ere was no w aythat publication could benefitiMercyhurst College. Aiulhe said hebelieves there ar e times when there exist "higher considerations Ithan revealing a truth which is potentially damaging to the institution. ^ |'i*. On these points, we disagree. * ;*Without making premature judgements as to their cause, webelieve an inordinate am ount of bitterness between adm inistrationand faculty has existed since the beginning of winter term. Adamaging effect on morale, within the classroom and without,increasingly has become evident. * f Jt I 5Administration, faculty andperhaps to the greatest extent-students, all have a personal investment in the outcome of thesestruggles. The time has come to replace undercurrents ofdissension with clarity, openness and honestpublicstances.GSW.

I" Stan cautiously added that,"right now, it's all up in the air.But I know for sure that I will stillpursue in composing songs. %Stan also added that, "if theaudition is a success, it is a goodchance that I will record one ofmy songs and possibly pursuethis as a career." Unlike Stan,Dan's drum playing is more likea hobby than a personal career.Both Dan and Stan stated that"we are just going on to have agood time and hope everybodyelse does too." iSo,'if you are looking for anenjoyable evening, come and seeStan the Man' and Dan HedlundTuesday night.
