Dr. William C. Cassell WCassell, who is presently

L audience about ^thenature ofgffle school _he__ waspresently at. Now J in his sixthyear at the western, school, pearrived at a time when the in-stitution was $7 million in debt.Coupling a healthy developmentprogram with a balanced budget,Cassell claimed that the collegewould soon be out of debt.'•• Cassell said that Mercyhurst isat the "crossroads," and thatwith a solid developmentprogram the 38th Street schoolcould begin to realize itspotential.

Opening the floor to questions,Cassell was asked about hisacademic philosophy. Stating

that he believed in a "qualityeducation," C assell believed th atthe college has an obligation toprovide the best ? educationpossible. *Kj 1 3§

Commenting on the learningenvironment, he alluded to anexperience, funded by the FordFoundation, in which computerequipment was installed in thedormitory to enable students tostudy where they lived. -Suchliving-learning experiences,commented Cassell, could bemade available to the Mer-cyhurst community. W ! 5 ?

Relating to his current position,the Idaho president stated that heconsidered college a communitywhere it is important? tha teveryone get involved in someway. Vital to such involvement,Cassell pointed*out, is an ef-fective line of communicationrunning from the chief ad-ministrator down to the student.Open forums and convocationswere examples mentioned. r*

Questioned about thequalitative aspects of college,such as academic standards andteacher effectiveness, Cassellwas quick to state that "Collegeis not for ev eryone." W hen askedabout his attitudes towardfaculty, he commented, "I have asimple philosophy-teach orperish." *&. ?

Former Dean, Garvey

Sets Sights HigherStating that it was useful for

him to apply for the presidency atthis time, Dr. William P . Garveyaddressed the students onacademic and fiscal philosophiesFriday afternoon in the ZurnScience Building. Y ' * ~ -

Speaking to the students in adifferent role than he is ac-customed to as a historyprofessor, Garvey stressed thatthe college must strike a balancebetween liberal arts and careerfields. Stating that it would befoolish for the college to "put alleggs in one basket," he main-tained that both areas of studyhave their place in the college.

Garvey went on to say that thecareer fields had always been apart of Mercyhurst since theschool's beginning in 1926, andthat it has been shown that 90percent of Mercyhurst graduatesgo directly into the job market.Garvey stressed, s however, thatthe major purpose of the collegeis not to solely teach job skills.

"If% anything, Mercyhurstshould teach you to think," saidthe 18-year veteran of Mer-cyhurst affairs. f ;£s

Recognizing the difficult timesthat lie ahead, the former dean ofMercyhurst pointed out that thecollege can not afford to allowitself to be dominated by thestatistics that face them. Garveyfelt that aggressive and creative

actions are needed to maintain aninstitution he sees as being at the"crossroads." j t» ?

One of the areas th at he sees asneeding such action is the Officeof Development. Labeling thisarea as one of the top twopriorities of the incoming

He stated that an energeticdevelopment program mightbring an end to the "hand-to-mouth" status th at has existed inthe past. "There is no way thatthe students' tuition should makeup between 80 and 90 percent ofthe budget," stated Garvey. *; .

editorial

"Our Presidential Search"Last week the Mercyhurst

community was given an op-portunity to meet two off theremaining four candidates for theoffice of the president of Mer-cyhurst College. The interviewsessions,*along with skeletalresumes, gave students the basisto form informed opinions on Dr.William C. Cassette and Dr.William P. Garvey.

The Merciad, however, was notsatisfied. Viewing each resumeas little more than a list ofpositions held, we sought to gainmore information on each can-didate through phone jco n-versations with students, faculty,

and administrators from each ofthe four colleges that thelap*plicants hailed from. 8

This week's column will dealwith the two candidates thatspoke to -the Mercyhurst com-munity last Friday, Dr. WilliamC. Cassell and Dr. William P.Garvey. Safe f

In a conversation with astudent at the College of Idaho wewere able to find out that Dr.CSssell was well-known as a fundraiser among the studentpopulation at the little Idahocollege. He had come to theschool at a time when they werein. danger of closing the school.One-pressing, debt in particularwas-a $2.5 million debt on thecollege science center.wThis student claimed that Dr.

1. extended hospitality tothe students, inviting them to hishouse for breakfast as 5 well aswelcoming them fto makepresentations to the Board ofTrustees at the college.. However,when it came to the finances ofthe college, the welcome mat

disappeared and the door wasoften closed. J * I &

The student stated that this wasabout all he knew. He gave us thename, however, of a facultymember that would give us someinformation. J We thanked thestudent and proceeded to makeour second contact. |j v --

From the start the facultymember was very cordial to us.He warned us, however, that hisviews might reflect a personalbias. His opening statement onCassell was a reiteration of the"fund raiser" label that hadcirculated around Mercyhurst.We then asked him -what the

academic philosophy*'of Dr.Cassell was. The answer wereceived was, "He has none."JL* The faculty m ember then wenton to tell us that in 1978 thefaculty association at the Collegeof Idaho Voted "no confidence"and had asked for Dr. Cassell'sresignation. As the-resignationwas forthcoming, a wealthyindividual called the collegestating that he would give thecollege a $1 million gift providingthat Cassell' remained at thecollege. f ^ l * -s

The choice, the facultymember stated, was quitesimple. With the college heavilyin debt- in particular, a $2.5million debt ,on the sciencebuilding- the vote of "no con-fidence" was rescinded

unanimouslyg and Dr. Cassell'sposition was seeure. —The |facuity member stated

that Cassell is an individual whohas a tendency to act on his own(this evaluation was laterrepeated by an administrator atthe college). Faculty morale, he

LetterDear Editor,

Yes indeed, we Finished theFifth. It all began on September 9when some of the C.E.C. mem-bers started to organize the FifthAnnual Dance Marathon. Laterinto the term, committees wereformed by special educationstudents. These committeesworked day and night betweenclasses, student teaching andsome sleep. EI The time flew by and themarathon was almost here;that 's when 1 realize d howwonderful Mercyhurst Collegestudents really are. Those peoplewho usually blend in were thereto help! Everyone wanted to get

involved and did.Then the time came to start the

event. At 6:001 saw people enterthis marathon from all majorsand alldifferent in terests. It trulyamazed me to see the samepeople who sit on opposite ends ofthe cafeteria join with each otherin, laughter, dance, song, andeven some tears for the benefit ofexceptional children. 5 And nowwho will have the nerve to saythat Mercyhurst students do notcare? \ •*. £V J

I'd like to thank all those manystudents who helped us make thisevent a great time for all of us.Thank you again. *;

We asked this person if therewasa faculty member who mightreflect": a .more pro-Cassell at-

titude. He gave us a name andnumber. We thanked him andwent further in our search, fpJrThe second* faculty memberwas not quite as vocal in hisfeelings towards the president.Confirming the "fund raiser"label, low academic involvement,and the incident with the vote of"no confidence, he did not passany value judgements on Cassell,stating that "No administratorwill ever win a popularity con-test'! S i

? # v t *\This concluded our in-

vestigation on Dr. William C.Cassell. \ f '?•%

In researching our secondcandidate,.^ Dr. William P.Garvey, we found a number ofpeople ready and willing tocomment on the former dean ofthe college. Talking to former

students, present faculty andadminisirators that have known"Garvey, we gathered some in-teresting data. WIS j|fi

In a conversation with threeformer students we discoveredthat Garvey was a highly visibleindividual as dean. One studentremarked that he was always"very friendly- he always ad-dressed you in the hall."Com-menting on his reputation, two ofthe former students stated thathis name is often brought upwhen speaking with ad-ministrators from other schools.g The one student, who had an

opportunity to work for Garvey,claimed that he was an excellentand -; well organized ad-ministrator. This person statedthat he had high expectations ofthose who worked for him. When

asked if .they had any negativememories of Garvey, the threecould not think of any. •"*/.*.

Hoping to find a little moreobjectivity in this re pec t, we paida visit to one of the facultymembers in Preston. Finding onewho had time to sit and talk, wewere told that Garvey was notone to put a lot of stock in apseudo-democracy. However, thefaculty member was quick topoint out that rarely had Garveyacted without consulting, othersfor their opinions. I I ^ISflj

He considered * Garvey anacademic leader 2 as well as acompetent administrator who dida |lot swith "what the facultymember considered an un-derstaffed administrat ion.Describing him as dynamic, thefaculty recalled that Garvey had

the capacity for inspiring loyaltyto the college. Well rememberedwere the former dean's late hoursspent in his office, m rail

The administrator that wetalked to remembered Garvey asfar back as 1963, when the latterfirst arrived at the school. Thisperson was quick to point out thatGarvey had been personallyresponisble for the saving of theeducation department, as well asthe establishment of the HRMand Law Enforcement programsat the college. This administratoralso mentioned the fact thatGarvey played a key role in the

transition Mercyhurst made to itspresent status as a co-ed college.

Claiming that one of theweaknesses of his ad ministrationhad been the desire to move theinstitution at a pace which many

of the Sisters of Mercy wereadverse to, this person felt thatGarvey was a more aggressiveacademic leader than the currentMercyhurst president, Dr.Marion Shane.

This concluded? our in-vestigation of Dr.- William C.Cassell and Dr. William P.Garvey. Through those who havehad direct contact with therespective applicants, we hopethai those associated with thecollege may have will develop abetter informed view of the firsttwo candidates. Next week - Dr.Beverly Miller and Dr. GeraldBurns. HJ 5 I

John Benton Conn ally, an-

nounced candidate for theR e p u b l i c a n " p r e s i d e n t i a lnomination, is being championedfrom one corporate board roomto another like no contender forthe Oval Office < since CalvinCoolidge. Make no mistake aboutit, despite protests from theRonald Reagan camp, Connallyis the darling of big business.

Connally's "Love Affair"{persists despite confessing

recently on 60 Minutes to havingsaid that "90 percent of thebusinessmen in this country are

ilazy, incompetent Neanderthals.(Connally tried to soften thestatement by saying that perhaps90 percent was too high - Maybearound 40 percent would becloser.").

There's good reason for the? infatuation of the business

community. Despite short stintsas Secretary off the Navy,governor of Texas, and Secretaryof the Treasury, most of Con-nally's adult life has been spent

*•wheeling and dealing among thegiants in the American privatesectors. He sits on the boards ofsix major companies includingGreyhound, Dr. j Pepper, and

jFirst City National Bank.His role at the Houston-based

law firm of Vinson and Elkins ismerely as counselor and politicalsage to many clients from theFortune 500. For his hand holdingand because he has? "good con-nections" in Washington, Con-

^ joally. hauls down about $400,000cv^^^kperyearfor a firm in. which he

rarely spends more than 10 hours

a week in his office.

But how about John Connallythe politician? His mentors weretwo of the most influential Texasarm twisters ever to hit CapitolHill- Lyndon Johnson and SamRayburn. LBJ thought so much ofConnally that he picked him ashis chief legisla tive! assistantduring his first term in Congress.Much of Johnson's blustery stylehas been mirrored in his protege.

To liberals and Eastern in-tellectuals, Connally is seen as avain, "arrogant 'hucksterwho scores high in demagoguerybut low in compassion. To manyconservatives and Southernbusinessmen, Connally is seen asa charming skillful leader withgreat charisma. This latter groupis extolling "Big John" as just theman America needs to "speaksoftly and wield a big cannon" in

the faces of the Russians,Iranians, or any other ingrateswho dare to view the world in alight different from the worldaccording to the Dulles-Kissinger-Brzesinski progeny.

Somehow the .'image of JohnConnally storming the Americanembassy in Tehran shouting"Bully, Bully" astride a Polarismissile is enough to send shiversup the spine of most nationalobservers.

An interesting, sometimesrefreshing side of Connally is hiscandor. In an lera£ wherepoliticians universally applaudmotherhood, John Connally hasfrequently'taken t h e : daring,

J A N U A RY 18, 1980 TH E MERCIAD PAGES

New Growth Industriesindustrial America in 2029 will bear only a surface resemblance to Industrial

America in 1979. Service industries will account for 50 per cent of the GNP by the year2029. While some menial services will still persist 80 to 90 per cent of the entire workforce will be in jobs that involve the accumulation and processing of information.Huge corporations with world wide operations will conduct the new society'sbusiness, clu sters of small cottage industries will act as feeders to the corporate gian-ts. The size of tomorrow's corporations with their accompanying economic power willspeed the incursion of the government. U.S. industry wjll become far more regulatedover the next 50 years even to the extent that certain industries - health c are forexample - will become nationalized. ?3BHE? fe-^ '.

No industry will be bigger than communications; however, by 2029, the com-

munications and information processing technology available to business peopleand consumers will be much more powerful than today's. J jAgriculture will be a giant industry. Only one-sixteenth of the total U.S. land area

today is used for growing crops; by 2029 that fraction could double.But more important, the face of industry will have changed. Drug companies, food

processors, chemical producers, oil companies, and conglomerates all will havemoved into agriculture. In addition, today's fledgling "mariculture" business willhave blossomed. I- ^ % I

Farms will be more productive as advances in geneticengineering make it po ssibleto design more efficient plants and animals. And a trend to intergrate food processingand packaging with the farm will be well underway. fe

Another big growth industry over the next 50 years will be energy. Fuel suppliersmay move into theproduction of power: nuclear-fusion-solar. IBfr \ \ % f

The aerospace industry may be among those energy producers. It appears to be thelogical candidate to build and install giant space electric utilities and electric powergeneration. W #* i

Nowhere is the emergence of giant Industrial combines likely to proceed moresurely than in the health-care field. By 2029, Americans will live 10 to 15 yearslonger than they do now, and advances in the prevention and cure of diseases willhave increased consum er's expectations of the health care system.

Transportation will still be a big business and so will the manufacture of tran-

sportation equipment. What's more, futurists predict that by 2029 thousands of peopledaily will be flying into space, both for business and for pleasure. «*£ £Other Growth Industries Will Include: i IEntertainment: By 2029 it is projected every home will have an electronic home-

entertainment center. Movie palaces and broadcast TV will be memories, and majornew forms of entertainment, including total sensory environments will emerge.

Geriatric Care: By 2029 more than 20 per cent of thepopulation will be over 65, andthat trend will have spurred thegrowth of an industry that is just now budding. 9

Waste Management: As the recycling of waste and its use as a fuel grow in im-portance, a mammoth industry specializing in the collection an d processing of wasteand distribution of the recovery products will take place. t '58

Some of the nation's basic industries will also have shrunk drastically. There is agood chance that the textile and apparel industries will almost surely be gone fromU.S. shores. Ship-building will be just above nonexistent in the U.S. and much of ourbasic metals production will have moved to lower cost nations. JEj VS1 .?' ,v It.

It is believed by a number of industrialists that government decisions within thenext few years, more than anything else, will determine the shape of American in-dustry 50 years from now. (reprint CAM Report, Dec. 15,1979) £ ,.

NCAA Grants 'Hurst Early EntryIn a surprise move, the council

of th e National CollegiateAthletic Association (NCAA),voted at the annual convention;this week to grant MercyhurstCollege full membership inDivision II as of September 1980.,

Announcement of the school's!acceptance was made Fridaymorning by Mercyhurst CollegePresident Marion L. Shane.*

The Hurst had been acceptedas an associate member of NCAAin October and college officialsanticipated a 2-% year waitingperiod before being granted fullmembership, i

Mike Cusack, Hurst director ofathletics was in New Orleans forthe NCAA «convention. Herequested and was grantedwaivers of two Division IIregulations normally. requiredbefore full | membership isgranted. One requires that atleast six NCAA-recognized sportsbe in place for two years and theother, that at least half of thebasketball schedule be againstNCAA Division I and II teams.

The Hurst ha s four NCAA-

recognized sports' basketball ,

baseball, J tennis, and soccer.,According to Cusack; golf will beimplemented in the spring andcross-country in the fall. Sro j

Cusack said that when he w entto New Orleans, the best he hopedto come away with was a waiverto grant Mercyhurst full mem-

bership in the Division II in 1981when all six sports would beoperational. Sj £jsl

Instead, sa id!Cusack, th ecouncil voted to accept Mer-cyhurst as a full member ef-fective in 1960 and gave thecollege three years to meet thesix sport requirement, fcfc *

Cusack said Mercyhurst wasone of five colleges to be affectedby th e waiver. Also admitted toNCAA Division II * were Th eUniversity of Alaska at Fair-banks, California | StateUniversity Dominguez Hills,Coppin State in Baltimore,Maryland, and Northern StateCollege, Aberdeen, South Dakota.

President Shane, wh o willfinish hi s tenure in the collegepresidency in June after eight

years in the office, ha s seen the

school's athletic j3 program,develop from one sport to it scurrent < five. *Shane said the"NCAA membership marks thebeginning of a new era in in-tercollegiate {athletics at Mer-cyhurst. if? T

"We welcome th e challenge

Division II membership brings.Our male athletes will be playingteams from larger schools andwe're also very" pleased withwhat ] NCAA m embership willmean to our women athletes,"said Shane, i g

The Hurst president explainedthat at the New Orleans con-ference, NCAA Division II & IIIvoted to sponsor championshipevents for women beginning in1981-82 in track an d field,volleyball, tennis, basketball,and field hockey. § Eg? Mercyhurst ihas been com-peting in the National Associationof Intercollegiate Athletics(NAIA) since the inception of itsathletic programs. The collegewill maintain dual membershipin the NAIA and the NCAA for theforeseeable future, according to
