Fa re we 11Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth.Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wan ted wear;Though as for that, the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.

LetterI shall be telling this with a sigh JSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-1 took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.Robert Frost

Child Care CenterDeserves CreditFour * years ago I made a choice and took the path andchallenge by coming to Mercyhurst College. I feel it was awise decision. VMany students are experiencing fear and anxiety about thefuture. Now , with 120 credits under my belt I know that I willbe prepared to face the world. My liberal arts education, in-ternships and extracurricular activities are all contributing towhat I term a quality degree in the field of Communications.But, there is still a strong attachment I feel to the college thatmakes graduating both happy and sad. Most of us have madethe best friends and have beautiful memories to cherish.After 28 issues and 232 pages, the time has come to closethe term of the current,editorship. "While there is relief inknowing I have free time now on Tuesdays and Wednesdays,there is also a degree of m elancholy that makes letting go a lit-tle painful.For those associates with The Merciad this has been a yearof great pride. We put in long hours and much effort to makesure that the students had an eight page weekly.Thanks to the quality of the staff members work as well ascommunity contributions, The Merciad has become yournewspaper and outlet. I couldn't have done it without thestaff and community support.Thanks to.the Mercyhurst faculty and admmistration isalso appropriate. You were all willing to ope n your doors for^interviews, provide story tips, and supported The Merciad'sright to freedom of the press and freedom from censorship.You trusted us, and we remained a new sworthy, truthful anda respected publication.It's time to continue walking down the path. I hope to en-counter experiences in the future as wonderful as I have atMercyhurst College - for that will make all the difference.

Dear Editor,Being able to experience thebest of both -worlds, family andcareer, is perhaps one of the mostwonderful opportunities withwhich a modern woman is bless-ed. But she can be twice fortunateby being a Mercyhurst i Collegecommunity member. The veryreason: is the Child Care Centerlocated in McAuley Hall.Any parent" would agree .thatfamily has priority over her owncareer or education. So, it mattersgreatly where a child or childrenare cared for -while a womanw ^^ ^^In my case, it was a question ofpeace of mind. My accepting a jobas an instructor came after havinginvestigated; the availability, andthe quality of child care a centeroffered. I had no other availablemeans to leave my child while Iworked if I had taken other joboffers. I was greatly relieved aswell as impressed to find out that

someone way atop in the ad-ministration had been sensitivemJ;m1m]m aaiac

enough to meet the needs of itsemployees and students by pro-viding such an important serviceright here on our own campus!How convenient, how thoughtfuland how encouraging for thosewho want to continue discoveringthemselves through work andeducation! The very existence ofsuch a child care center reflectsthe positive attitude of the wholecollege.Today, I cannot help myselfbragging to my friends and ac-quaintances working in other in-stitutions and companies aboutour Mercyhurst Administration'sthoughtfulness which continues tomeet people's realistic needs.Thanks to the Child CareCenter, my child has enjoyed hisnew experience with his teachersand other children. I have neverfelt more secure knowing that heis in good hands who in turn,deserve good hands from all of usparents.

Wasting Time?by Steve C a r d o ^ ^ ^ ^ ^After being a part of this in-stitution for four years now, Ihave seen what has been referredto as student apathy and I haveread several items on these verypages concerning the same sub-ject. Writing about apathy is likethe preacher lecturing:, his co n-gregation about the evils of not at-tending church. The preacher isonly getting his message to thosewho attend service. The writerwho addresses apathy will onlyreach those who care enough toread past the beer ads, foodcoupons, or happy ads.Nevertheless, I feel motivatedto address the subject?because ofwhat took place at the collegeSenate meeting of Tuesday, May8. At that meeting, severalstudents took a great deal o f timeto m ake their feelings known co n-cerning a proposed change in theappeal process for dorm write-ups. In this writer's opinion, thechange was a very minor one,trimming the time for appeal fromone week to 72 hours. Eventhough I feel it was a minorchange, several students did not.The fact that such a strong opi-nion was expressed is positive,and I was very glad to see thathappen. .? iI The problem is that such an ef-fort was wasted on an issue that isnot that important. The change inthe appeal process came aboutthrough the Campus Life Com-

mittee as part of its review of theJudicial Board.This review was called for whenthe board was. first formed. TheCampus Life Committee spentmany, meetings addressing thisissue, and it was very obviousfrom Tuesday's meeting that theywill continue to do so in the fall.In fa c t , t h e y c o mmi t t e dthemselves to a full-scale reviewof everything including the ap-peal procedure by the end of fallterm.My message here is that thestudents who spent ovei one-and-one-half hours at the Senatemeeting were really spinning their[wheels and not getting anywhere.The student body here afc Mer-cyhurst has a tremendous powerat their fingertips that is not used.The few times I see an expressionof power it is a weak one and ismost often directed^ for a veryshort time on an issue that is noteven worth that time. _tTo-those of you who wercarthemeeting, and those of.you whocare about things that affect youas a student, I say great! Stay in-volved, motivate others, and letyour |presence be known. But,don't come out of the woodworktwice a year to stir up dust for afew minutes. Get involved at thestage where you will have the mosteffect. Get involved at the stagewhere policyjis* shaped and for-mulated from scratch. Get involv-ed with the committees. If you

Steve Curioreally care about something, itwill be worth much more of yourtime if you are a part of the pro-cess while policy is being for-mulated. You \don't accomplishnearly as much if you react afterthe process is completed.If) you remember one thingfrom this column, remember this:effective changes comes about notby opening your mouth once thenbeing quiet. Effective change willcome about only through a sincereand consistent devotion to the en-tire process. What happened atthe Senate meeting was *;notwrong: it was right. But i t couldof been so much more effective ifstudent input came often, and if ithappened at th e level where policyis created, ilf you care (and*youshould, because you are payingvery*good money to spend yourtime here), get involved from thebeginning and keep your commit-ment strong until the end.Remember this September^wJien'student'and college committeesare formed. . ^Jl

SAC Selects Officers For The 1984-85 Year"These are a great group ofstudents who are really en-thusiastic and hard working,'*Jean Moniewski, SAC'chairper-son said about the newly selected

officers for the 1984-85 academicyear. |Selected to serve as officers are :D a v e A r m s t r o n g , v i c e *c h a i r p e r so n ; Ch r i s A le ss i ,treasurer; Karen Komisarski,s e c r e t a r y a nd ' M a t t h e wRobaszkiewicz; public relationsdirector.These: candidates first had tosubmit a letter of intent for theposition they sought. Secondly,they were interviewed by a selec-tion board which explored each ofthe applicant's qualifications. Theinterview board consisted of JeanMoniewski, SAC chairperson;Maree-Lynn Cicon, director ofStudent Activities; John Jones,outgoing SAC chairperson, andnewly elected MSG president, PatSonger."Because of lack of interest,"

MSGChairpersonsNamedAt the second meetings of theMSG Senate on Sunday, May 6,SAC announced its new officers(see related story on page 5.)In n e w b u s in e ss , Br i a nDougherty and Matt Whelan werechosen as co-chairpersons for theSpecial Projects Committee.Th e original lab proposal wasamended. It now reads that the

geology, art and human ecologylabs will be open until midnight.This proposal was sent to theSenate for final approval.Sue Bennett explained the cur-rent status of the Judicial Board.It was under review in the Senateduring the month of April. Butaccording to Barry McAndrew,President of the Senate, nothinghas been done since. The Senatereceived word that the CampusLife Committee will be reviewingthe Board soon. Bennett notedthat the Judicial Board was pro-posed and developed in MSG andthat MSG should be part of thisreview.

according to Moniewski, all fourpeople who submitted letters ofintent received a positionDave Armstrong decided tobecome involved with Mercyhurstby seeking the position of vice-chairperson. The sophomore,political science major said, "Ifeel I can do a lot of things forSAC which included having moreactivities for a majority of thestudents and having more ac-tivities surrounding the sportingevents of the schoo l."Chris Alessi, a freshman inbusiness administration feltprivileged to get the position oftreasurer and hopes to see morestudents involved with activities inthe future at Mercyhurst.Working with SAC is not newfor freshman biology majorKaren Komisarski, because shehas been a member of SAC sincethe beginning of the academic)year. She first heard about SACduring summer freshman orienta-tion and felt it was a good way to

get involved in the college.One of her many duties assecretary includes publishing theweekly SAC newsletter and keep-ling the minutes of all SACmeetings.M a t t R o b a s z k i e w i c z , afreshman dance*} major com-mented, "I'm real excited aboutgetting this position because Iwanted to get more involved withthe campus activities." Being acommuter, Matt sometimes feelsleft out as he explained othe r com-muters do. He hopes to changethis outlook for the better. *'Maree-Lynn Cicon, director ofStudent Activities said, *'There isa uniqueness about everyonebecause tKey all seem to have dif-ferent strengths but enough tobalance out "in the end. Eveyoneon the board seems to have adiversified association with theother students at the 'Hurst. Someof the new activities will include:t h e m e d a n c e s , a biggerHomecoming bash and more.

their recruiting for the upcomingroundball season with threeconfirmations.Signing letters of intent to at-tend the "College on the Hill" areBret Busch, Nate Harris, and TimWinbush.Bush hails from Toms RiverEast High School in New Jerseyand brings with him an excellentbasketball reputation. The 6'7forward was an All-County selec-tion in both his junior and senioryear. He also received third teamAll-Shore honors and was namedto the Buc C l a ss i c All-Tournament team (Red Bank,NJ).Kalbaugh calls Busch a"tremendous" i shooter i with arange of 20 feet.
