Especially on a privatecollege camp us, the Office ofFinancial Aid*Functions fisan integral part of the broadarea of Student Services.Where college budget costsfor a resident student runclose to $3,100,| and commuter costs are now over the$2,000 |&mark, ewherescholarships for financial aidare d irected almost solely tolow-income ffam ilies, the

average student at Mer-cyhurst College will undoubtedly feel the financialpressure.

these scholarships are givento incoming students whoevidence both h ighscholastic achievement andfinancial nee d. A 2.5cumulative average must bemaintained throughout thefour years for annualscholarship renewal.

T h e A s s i s t a n t s h i pp r o g r a m , p r e v i o u s l yquestioned in the paper, isquite similar to the HonorScholarship grants, in thatboth high school credentialsand financial need are thecri t eria upon which'theaward is based.: Instead ofworking a set schedulejandr e c e i v i n g d i r e c t

Presently there are25 students, on theA s s i s t a n t s h i p p r o g r a mtotalling $8,050 in financialassistance. At the end of

each year, the student 'sperformance is reviewed forrenewal of the grant.

would constitute a sum me r term .'*Thus," explained Dean G arvey,••the student has the opportunityto accelerate his program to thepoint of i graduating in threey ea rs . " While'£ the* six-weekSession will continue to offercoursesliu the traditional mold,the four-week Session is viewed,as a opportunity to induceIntersession-Type courses intothe Summer School curriculum.Slated for further discussions isthe possibility of stipulating afour-week summer session for aninter-session requirement.g Students in terest ed in the

Locker Room]Proposed:By SportyB y D a v i d B l a n c h f i e l d

Dear Mom and Dad,Sorry it's been so long since I

.''last wrote but my student aid job

is keeping me ve ry busy. I work40 hours a week for the Dean ofParking. It's a great dealfinancially t o o . True, I only get 6 8cents an hour but my contractsays that 1 have the right to attend all Mercy hurst sportscontests for free until I'm 65.Actually that is part of what I'mwriting about— I wonde r if youknow a rea l good lawyer.

You see J just read the smallprint in my contract, (it was anunusual contract, just three lineslong but with 80 pages of smallprint). According to page 80 of thesmall print I have to go to alLaker sports contests until,I'm65—if I don't I forfeit my de gree . Ialso think it says I then have topay back the 68 cents an hour to

the Dean of Parking. Isn't thatIunconstitutional or something?Also when you count the varsityping pong matches I end up goingto a game a day—in fact I have tohurry up and finish this becausein just 20 minutes "Over the HillGang" is playing the citysanitationdepartment.

I hear the motto of the game,by the way, is the same as thecampaign motto of * NormanMailer when he ran for mayor ofNew York City, (all you truescholars can look th at o n e up.)

The Dean has me working fulltime on a very important task,crucial to t h e . morale of thecollege. I'm the student hi charge*;of dedications, every month l |have to think up justification for

havin g | two ded ications e achcomplete with champagne andhome movies. For some reasonour ad ministra t ion see ms Hogroove on champagne and homemovies, la st month I really did a

' * » •

spirational was it that when theyshowed it at Bonner high school,the entire senior class chose to

enroll at Mercy hurst—that wasquite a breakthrough for theadmissions staff. Up until thenthe be st they could d o was e nrol 198 per cent of the Bonner boys. Iunderstand the school is askingUnited aircraft to work on aspecial plane. It's supposed to bea miracle plane—large enough tobring the entire Bonner & seniorclass to visit Mercyhurst and ye tsmall enough* to land at ErieInternational • Airport. Isn't itamazing ?$ what m Americantechnology can d o? H S l ^ ^ Y ^

The second reception I plannedthat week was even better if youcan> believe tha t I It I was thededication of the newest buildingon the Hurst campus. Designedtastefully in the shape of a caneit's the locker room for the "Oveith e Hill Gang". Not only was itthe first time a locker room (inthe I shape of| a cane) wasdedicated with champagne andhome movies but I also hear it'sthe only locke r room in the worldwith a direct pipe line to theKohler jbeer factory. It alsocomes equipped with individual,initialed oxygen mask s— nothingbut the best for the "Ove r the Hill(.ang • •

good job, pulled off two

de dications in a* matte r of twodays : So good were my ideas thatthey gave me a bonus—said Icould stop attending Laker game sat age 64 instead of 65. *$ On Monday of| that week we

dedicated the new laundry shute

in Pre ston Hall (the old one wasdestroyed the night they had torescue the crew team. It seemsthe entire team tried to g o down ithead first and gthey fall gotstuck between the second

floor and the basement. After thechampagne they showed homemovies offthe crew's first raceafter the accident. It was a veryinspirational movie seeing allthose boys hobbling down to theboats on crutc he s.? So in-

Besides the federal governmentpicked up the tab under theprovisions of a bill designed togive unlimited assistance to thosein the words of the bill, "Over theH i l l . " ! Our? boys certainlyqualified. H ave to go n o w , they're

implie s. a news story. 1 fee l,however, that it should have beensubtitled ". . .my misconceptions

of such " jjTo clarify a few 'i of thesemisconceptions: if

First, the need for a moreexperienced 'Student ActivitiesDirector became apparent toBUS members after several oflast year's fiascos and thegeneral dissatisfaction with thecoffeehouse. It was felt that sucha person working with BUS andany other interested I students(SAC) would cre ate ! a socialatmosphere that has never beenknown on this campus. j ^

It is still felt that this is indeedhappening. It is highly improbable that Mercyhursts tu d en ts a r e ex t r eme lydissatisfied with the entertainment and management ofthe social activities. If this istrue, would someone care toexplain the successful popularityof so many of our social activitiesthis year? ;,- | | .

In case it hasn't hit Erieites yet,the general trend is a nostalgico n e , as was evidenced in theMerciad itself. The "oldiei butgoodie" hits of the late 50's andearly ISO's are( an entertainingaside from the constant hard rockwe saw last year. *

Secondly, the coffeehousefinances are Indeed a good topicfor examination. The treasurer'sbooks and financial reports areavailable to anyone. All you havetodo )s ask.

To clear up one statement,seve ral thousands of dollars have

not been spent already this year .

I* or the first term, $1,500 wasspent. The total coffeehousebudget for the entire f year Is$4,r>oo as compared to $0,000 lastyear. Taking into account^thatmore people are satisfied, with atleast twice as many social eve nts,at half the cost, it is really dif-ficult to say that BUS has m ade abigblunder.

Thirdly, as is stated in the BISconstitution. "Any % student orgroup of stud en ts.. .shall b e givenvoice but no vote at a meeting ofth e Bepresentative Union ofStudents." No one has ever beendenied this constitutionallyguaranteed right. At the meetingin question, those present wereasked for their opinion on eachtopic under discussion. Each timeno response was heard from thestudent who supposedly had somuch to say. Freedom of speechcan be safeguarded. This doesn'tnecessarily mean that those towhom the right is extended willmake use of this privilege.

As of this writing, SAC has me twith interested students in anattempt to iron out some of thedifficulties. Perhaps if studentstook th e tim e to ask the questionsof th e proper pe ople, unnecessaryconfusion and rumors could beavoided.

For the silent many who arestill dissatisfied:, maybe thefiddlers are still fiddling, andperhaps Rome is still burning.But Rome was neither built norrebuilt in one day. | Dedicatedindividuals are >spending countless hours constructing a variedand desirable social atmosphereon this campus. Et tu Brutus?

Tlu> Advisor System

P A G E *

Lincourt InterviewedThe past advisory system at

Me rcyhurst College has proven tobe inadequate in meeting thedemands of the increas ingenrollment of students. Thus, anew system has been specificallydesigned b y Mr. John Lincourt, ofthe Philosophy Department, toimprove the consultationprocedures between the studentand his or her faculty ad visor.

As stated in the AcademicCounseling Handbook forAdvisors, the aim .of this innovative system is to "help th estudent select and complete awell-balanced and individualizedcourse of study. . .Frequentevaluation by student advisors,faculty* advisors , and theprogram director, underlines theself-corrective character of theadvisory system, and insures for

In regard to the 1972-1973 schoolyear, Mr. ? Lincourt is recommending that special attention be

paid to the incoming Freshmenclass , Special Students , andTransfers. According to thisrecommendation, a certain coreof paid Advisors , number ingabout fifteen, would be assignedto these three specific groups. -Inthis way, the advisors would be" r e s pons ib l e " to the s e th r e eproblem areas.

( C o n t in u e d |f ro m p a g e 1)

The first e vent of the night wa de famation of " T h e State of TheI'nion" as the "most flagrant,violation of journalistic ethicsI've ever seen.** This remark byMr. Herring set the tone for therest of the meeting — ratherviolent. The meeting was intended to b e a planning session forupcoming! act ivi t ies whichquickly d egene rated into a verbalbattle of charges and counter-charges. ;«jfefThe first!question raised wasthe competency . | ofthe ^established" SAC. Th eminority expressed its . opinionthat the full potential of thecoffeehouse was not beingrealized. It was further statedthat the quality of entertainment

(in the form of performers appearing at the coffeehouse) waspoor and getting worse. Thischarge was quickly counteredwith an accusation by the i'SACthat the dissenters did notr ep r e s en t a " m a j o r i t y " ofstudents and therefore were in noposition to dissent. This raisedone of the m ost vital issues of thenight: who does speak for thema jority? ! This question w asnever resolved . *

fH The, question of compe tency tochoos e pe r fo rme r s washighlighted by the discussion ofwho best knows the Erie musicscene. The first charge was thatthe SAC has a tendency to "fallinto a Irut" with bands, asevidenced with the overexposureof Isaac Aaron and Edd y Cee andThe Bee s. Secondly, when asked ,only two of approximate ly twentyS A C membe rs present s tated thatthey we r e f rom |E r i e . Theminority, most of| whom werefrom Erie and? involved withmusic in some iway, offered toad vise th e SAC on their choice ofperforme rs. This suggestion wasmet favorably by Mr. Herring,but disdained by the rest of the

S A C .Another issue of note was the

opinion of the SAC that they, asMercyhurst students, fhad th eobl igat ion to provide en-t e r ta inmen t^so l ey^ for / Mer-cyhurst. disregarding the resttft h e E r i e community , f

statement was met with thecharge of chauvinism; the SACcountered by stating that since

Mercyhurst students arej paying$125 a year in activity fees, entertainment at the college shouldbe primarily for their benefit.The minority granted this point,but stated that the success of amajor concert would depend onsupport from the Erie L, community. ?

*

There were other suggestionsmade, but the overriding tone- ofhost i l i ty suppressed anycooperation which might havetaken place between the twofactions. Finally, anothermeeting; was called £ for thefollowing Thursday, at whichtime the issues raised were to beresolved. §

Thursday's meeting proved to

be much less antagonistic andmore productive. A notable turnof events was the absence of mostof the "established'/ SACmem bers and a sizeable increasein th e numbers of the "minority,"which should technically becalled the "majority" of Thursday's me eting. The mee ting wasprefaced with the suggestion thatthe topics of discussion b e limited,to concrete suggestions and thatidle criticism be eliminated . |I The first suggestion was that afilm series, independent of the.usua l Su nd ay flicks'- beestablished. G erry Barron statedthat there is a wide variety ofinexpens ive f i lms avai lable ,ranging from experimental tovintage films. He suggested that

these films could be shown in thecoffeehouse between acts, andthey could also be packaged into"film festivals", such as anevening of W. C. Fields features.This idea met with general acceptance.^

The next subject was that ofconcerts, at which time *Mr.Herring announced that plans hadbeen finalized for a May concertfeaturinglAlex Taylor and; John

heavily|upon the cooperation ofnot only the faculty .but on thes tudents themselves . Eachstudent must therefore throwofl any passive attitudes {andbecome involved in a reciprocitywith his or her ad visor.

' In add ition to being the initiatorof the Advisory Program, Mr.Lincourt, along with Mr. RobertJ .J Tolan, is in] th e process ofadding a new dimension to ourPhilosophy Department.? Giventhe increased enrollment, f therewill be demands placed on thedepartment* in the sense that weare going to become a ServiceDepartment." 59' •& :?jai

As such, Ithe ^PhilosophyDepartment is presently offeringa Philosophy of History course toservice the History Department;future innovations . includecourses such as PhilosophyI ofLaw to service the Police Scienceprogram, and Philosophy ofScience to service the ScienceDepartment, e t c . U

This approach will enable thestudent t o b e more cautious aboutmany of his unproven assumptions and also offer him thefundam ental •• ability to not onlyanalyzer subject matter, but tosynthesize as well.'* t v?^&

Denver. He asked for support inthe areas of tickets, publicity,and other small points which need

to be,worked out.JHe wa§ againmet with promise s of support. -\The subject of performers at

the coffeehouse was again raised,and the general concensus wasthat people familiar with the Er iemusic scene should be in chargeof providing the talent.?Also, thesuggestion of having concerts inthe indoor tennis courts wasmade. Mr. Herring stated thatthere was administrative opposition to such an ide a, but tha tthe possibility could b e explored.

| Another suggestion was airedwhich had also been mentioned onMonday but was met with ge neraldisfavor. This was the possibilityof getting Doc Watson, one of thecountry*s foremost t radi t ionalfolk . performers, for fa - smallweekend concert and a guitarworkshop. This suggestion wasleft open Iuntil the details * ofmoney, time, and place could beworked out.

Finally, if the powers, that bewill permit the expression of aneditorial opinion, letIme state itthus: the issue of student activities on this campus ise v e r y b o d y ' s b u s i n e s s .Throughout the past?week'sbattles, the S A C has begun to takeshape as what it should be: asounding board for a ll students tocome and express their opinionswith regard to What they wouldl ike | to f see on the activitycalender. This article has been

an attempt to inform students

with what has been happeningrecently with the S A C , in the hopethat the general quality of sociallife on this, campus can be improved. By nature, only a fewstudents can be involved in theactual execution of suggestionswhich have been made. This isth e reason for the e xistence of theS A C .

backgrounds of the top eightplayers of the team, ''inexperience*' seems to be an inaccurate description. j

Mike Emick led his Oil CityHigh team to the Section II crownlast fall. # SCarl Jones was the "Out

standing Athlete" at his BayShore, Long Island, High School

He was an all-league performerin football, baseball, as well asbasketball, in which he ave raged18 points a game. S §

Dan Bukowski splayed forCoach Fox for two years atCathedral $ Prep. Inj those twoseasons, his team won the CityTitle, and last year, the PCIAAState Title, after beating SteveAlbert's team in the semi's.

Rick Fessler was a member ofFox's first State Title team atPrep in 1968. fH I %

Jeff McConnell, an All-Stateperformer in high school, helpedhis Junior College team into theNational Junior College Playoffslast year. *

* Finally, Dave Wieszorekplayed with Bukowski in 1970 andhelped his team capture the CityTitle and ge t to the PCIAA series.

As ofuhis writing:the Lakershave a 10-3 record. In this timethey have pul led out close

ballgames from

v

. Slippery Rock,Houghton, Federal City, andAlliance, as well as dropping St.John Fisher from the ranks of theunbeaten. Some may -.havethought many of the se victorie s tobe 'flukes." but looking at the

talent for the Lakers, there?wasnothing*: relatively •• lucky" Involved. Considering the "young"nature of this team, it may not be

too long before most of theseplayers are d escribed as having" played for a team that mad e theNAIA National Playoffs." I
