After 38 years of publication, the M ercyhurstCollege yearbook, Praeterita has been discontinued.When asked the reason why the yearbook was putout of existence, Mr. E. W illiam Kennedy, D irector ofStudent Affairs stated th at it could be summ ed up inone word: "Finances". He stated that the yearbookallocation $10,500 had been one of the itemseliminated from the college budget in the effort tokeep the tuition hike to a minimum. "What it camedown to w as this?" Mr. Kennedy said, "Tuition wasgoing *to go up either $165 or $175. We chose toeliminate the yearbook, cutting the increase by $10."Praeterita was first published in 1937, by the Seniorclass of that year, advised by Dr. M. J. Relihan. Theflyleaf of that first issue explained the new an nual'sname, which was derived from the Latin phrase " ExPraeteriUsout of the past of one's college daysthere is woven a cloth of gold; fit vesture and vestment for that ceremonial over which everyone musthimself presidethe living of life.''One possibility remains for the future of jjtheMercyhurst yearbooka movement is afoot to re

organize a yearbook under RUS ausp ices. However,the budget for such a book would be considerablyreduced, and the book will probably have to be sold,to raiseoperating expenses.S R .

This is the last issue of the "Merciad11 ending the1974-75 academic year. It is my first, issue and I hopethat you find it pleasurable and interesting. '|I would like to congratulate Colleen for a fabulousyear of active news reporting with an attractivejournalistic format. The newspaper hast definitelyimproved this yea r thanks to Colleen and her staff'sambition and enthusiasm In making the paper "thebest it could be." They were rewarded with a firstclass rating by the Associated Collegiate) 'rest, buttheir greatest reward was the actual finished copy ofeach issue circulated every Thursday afternoon. I, a seditor, will try to accom plish an Interesting! worth-reading newspaper! but students, I need you to helpme relate the actual VOICE of the 'Hurst community. I need you to make the paper better than it isnow.., and now is the best time to be concerned.

The "Praeterita" will be discontinued.'Financialproblems are the ca use , for this deprivation. Tolessen the tuition Increase! the yearbook (because ofstudent disinterest) was terminated. This loss Is notnecessary. The yearbook Is 'aj summary of ourmemories In pictures. Without the yearbook many ofthese memories will be forgotten, and if these collegeyears are the so-called 'best years of your life', thenthe death of theyearbook will be tragic.

Dear Editor:If ever there was a co llege to be put on a TV gameshow, Mercyhurst College is the one, I don't want tosound too critical of the 'Hurst but damn it, somethings that go on around here can sure get you down.This College could go on Vve Got A Secret each weekand never repeat the same secret, or so it seems.Why is it when it's always too late to do somethingthat students a re informed of another boot in the rearthat they have been handed due to the "rising cost ofan education?" What* I'm referring to is thediscontinuance of the Mercyhurst yearbook, Th ePraeterita. I JNaturally,' 1 didn't find this information outbecause it had been officially announced but it cameto me from channelled sources. The reason: (the one"they" would like us to believe anyway) There is nostaff, no one to do the work; I might add that "they"mean without pay. I wonder if "they" ever thought ofa yearbook run by a volunteer staff. I really believethis could happen since the yearbook is one of the fewthings that students*have to look on their past fouryears with. Students enjoy their yearbook. Studentsenjoy having a yearbook. Students will work for; thisenjoyment. II myself know that in years to come when 1 want toreflect on my previous Mercyhurst days that I don'twant to pull those tuition receipts (I don't wanttopullthem out at all). I want a book that recalls all thegood things that took place at Mercyhurst for threeterms and an Intersessioa I want a yearbook.MERCYHURST^ COLLEGE, do you care what Iwant? ]. Thank you,Anonymous

E D I T O RDear Editor, |As I look through the last edition of the yearbook, Iwonder how It is going to be like next year at this timewith no book of memoriestoreflect upon.Th e Praeterita is being cut from Mercyhurstbecame of lack of funds. This year's Praeterita costthe school $10,800, or approximately $7.00 per copy.There was a 50 cent savings on each 5 paperbackedition, as opposed to the hard covered ones, givenonly to Seniors. I f v i k? We pay for our yearbooks from our tuition moneyand our tuition is going up $165; th is Increase cannotcover yearbook costs, so we must do without. Theadministration does not want to raise the tuition anymore than they have to, for the school, as well a s thestudents will be pinched. ; \ lI However,!we do not have!to dojiway with theyearbook. 11 cannot be a thing of the past. I know thatmany of the students do not think the yearbook is awaste of time and money*A student opinion poll was taken in May, 1974 of 061students to determined how effective student communications are. The publications were rated on ascale from 1 to|7. Thejj following conclusions wereprinted: , f8.6 -vearbook4.6 f newspaper |3.87 - WQLN FM3.94-college catalogue 1 ;Twenty per-cent of the participating students in thepoll do not give a darn if mere Is a yearbook or not atthe present time, but in 5 years many alumni willwarn to look back at some of the fondest memoriesthat they will have ever experienced. I As a sophomore, 1 want a yearbook In 1977 JI knowthat a-lot of other students will want to remembertheir senior ye ar, *I Solutions the problem is not hopeless. Yearbookscould be sold on a subscription basis,iwhich meansstudents will have to pay for it with money outside oftutitlon. A volunteer editor and staff will help cut thecosts of publication. > * f rCome on, students, let's not let apathy Overcomeus. Money, however, is a problem, but where there'sa w ill, there's a way. |Yours truly,Maryann Crowley

Editor: :, JIt is with deep regret that I write this letter. I havebeen, for the most part, pleased with my experienceshere at Mercyhurst, both academically una socially.However, I have been periodically displeased withhousing policies and administrative policies. IThere was a small article in a recent Merciadwhich stated that a $100 room deposit must be madeby May 2lst. No letter was sent home to our parentswho are, most often, our main source of funds.Therefore, unless one read the article and wrotehome for money, or by some strange meansrhad ahundred dollars to spare, the bill could not be paid bythe 21st. The consequences of not paying the bill aresimple: upper classmen risk the cha nee Of not gettingthe room of their choice, as well as not getting dieroomm ate of their choice. In other words, we sufferfrom the administration's inadequacy to notify us orour parents of the bill that needs to be paid.I fail to understand why a flier was not sent out toeither us individually or to our homes. Instead,perhaps to save paper, a small article w as printed Inthe school newspaper, and signs were sparselydisplayed throughout,the dorms. Keep in mind thatthese signs were put up exactly one day before the

deadline.>If one were to stand around while peopleread these signs, they would be sure to overhear

something like\ * *Where in the hell am I going to get$ i oo bytomorrow11M ?I will give the administration the benefit of thedoubt and assume that they overlooked the Im*portance of sending out these individual filers*Hopefully, it will not happen again next year.Thank you ,Carmine DeCBacked by ;Christine Pa rk iKaycee GodlewskiMary Carol MartinMary Conway jElaine SchraderMarge D ibitsJudy ScholgeKatie McCaffreyLinda McGinleyDa rcee JenkinsSue FaganPat Bailey

First, we wouldjlike to comment on arather sensitive area - finances. There aremany services that have come and goneduring our four years at the 'Hurst. Longago and far away, the business {officecashed our personal checks. This is still acommon practice at many universities andcolleges throughout the nation. We do notignore the fact thatisome ? students havechecks made of more rubber than paper,but on the whole, they are receiving theirincome from home and | it is an inconvenience for them to'handle checkingaccounts within the city. j | |Our only; God-send is B urhenn's Pha rmacy whose check-cashing policy ? assureboth students and faculty of the extra cashthey need. It is both sad and unfortunatethat Burh enn's! can afford usl this convenience, while the college refuses toservice us in this manner. After Jail, itseems M ercyhurst makes fa great deal,more money than a small pharmacy. ;At this point, we would like to extend oursincere gratitude to Burhenn's in hopes tha tthey will continue with this service.Our second area of interest isjinfthequality of this year's Merciad. We wouldlike to commend Colleen McManamon fordoing such a tremendou s jo b as editor of the

paper. She was open to every side of everyissue and was always willing to tackle anyarea of controversy. As an intelligent andwell-spoken woman, Colleen h a s put forth astrong effort to elevate the status of theMerciad as well as recreating a genuinestudent paper. IWe hope that Colleen will continue in theAfield of journalism? 'cause we've seen what^she can dokand{.we think there's,a^lot of^potentiaFthereF ^^^^Finally, we as seniors, haVe watchedspring weekend blossom from a Saturdaynight semi-formal dinner-dance into a full-fledgedweekend! * f 1We would, last but not leasts like tocommend Kent Koch (alias "Bones") fororganizing and directing two very well-received concerts, j a festival, and an enjoyable semi-formal at Rainbow Gardens.Bones, along with the support ofrR.U.S.,worked countless long and hard hours, i n a neffort to bring u s a few "Cheap Thrills. , , r JIt is our hope that Mercyhurst Mill continue with this fond ? tradition and thatsomeone will be courageous enough to takeon the pains, pres sur es,! trials, and

F I N A LWell, sports fans, it's timeto wrap up another year ofLaker sports. Needless tosay, I was very disappointed

with the results of the teamsthis season. The baseballteam 's story has been said somany times I'm sick ofhearing it. The baseball boysalso suffered a bad season asthey finished under 500. Ibelieve they had the talentand could have done muchbetter. The golf team finishedsixth i n t h e district which isn'tbad considering the competition they were up a gainst.Turning to crew, we find ateam that i n m y opinion neverreally united. It seemsstrange to me that teammates would worry over eachother to such an extreme as tostop one another from havingan occasional beer. I feel if aplayer wants to have a drinkor smoke and still hold up hisend of the boat he should beallowed to.As far as girls' sports areconcerned the squads alsohad a bad season, but this is tobe expected with noscholarships a n d l o w budgets.The two bright spots of thepast sports campaign werethe men's tennis team and the

newly formed hockey club.The tennis team whichcaptured the district title forthe second straight year ishoping to improve on itsnational ranking of six lastyear. In light of the team(highest national rankingteam in Erie in any sport, Ibelieve) I feel the teamdeserves some good homecourts to play o n a n d after theturnout for the Edinboromatch I think most peoplewill agre e tennis is exciting towatch so some stands by thecourts might also be in order.If these two steps are takenthen next year a tournamentand some more home matches would b e very feasible.

The hockey team whichJack Baxter worked hard toorganize was a crowd plea serand had a n excellent record. Ihope next year someone willtake over for Jack and run theteam.

In Intramural Sports thisyear, the tempers flared andreferees were abused muchtoo oftea There is no doubtsome take it a little tooserious. Anyway as youremember the champs were:

Football, Mother Truckers,Moon Gray- (A) YoungsYardapes (B), Losers (C); inSoftball the final roundplayoffs between the1 MasterBatterf and the Spiders FromMars are being played thisweek, .

By Garrett KenilworthOne of the toughest jobs insports is staying on top,onceyou've finally made it. It'salways a long road up and aneasy fall dowa There areyear s of expected arrival, andnever quite* making it. Andthen out of nowhere,everything comes together Inreality, as it $ had been onpaper for s o long. wBut once champ, yourealize that you must nowdefend yourand that seems like "twice asmuch work as winning i t i n thefirst place. [ Ask thePhiladelphia Flyers or theMiami Dolphins. There mayb e n o tougher jo b than staying

"King of the Hill" but thenthere's no truer chamoion orguttsier athlete. *.For years, the Mercyhursttennis team has been ; thecream of the crop - on paper.There have been a number ofreasons that the Lakershaven't taken the District inthe past; .~f Injuries,ineligibilities and the bigchoke. | Well, | last year,Mercyhurst arrived in finefashion by not only taking theDistrict 18 championship, butalso went on to place sixth inthenation. 1 f ; IThe Lakers started off slowon a southern tour this year,but stormed back to take theDistricts again in what isturning into an annual event.But theHennis team! knowsthey've got to work harder iftheyrwant to get farther thiss p r i n g . O kk I guess we take them forgranted; with the condition o four courts Mercyhurst can'tschedule a home match andthat eliminates any crowdsupport and the tennis team,even while being a -nationalpowerhouse, doesn't^ get theink it deserves.From Coach Sturm? rightdown Ho the manager of the

team, they want this nationaltitle and are willing to workdamn. hard to get it. Thetennis team is conductingworkouts three times,a,day,starting at 7:30fin the morning. In what is a relativelysolo-competitive sport, -theLakers have jelled their efforts into a solid team withthe strength in depth; th e 4,5,and 6 men. -j^S *The L akers are on top andwant to stay there. What'smore, they are willing toaccept t h e hard work it takes.

There's another type ofguttsy ballplayer aroundcampus too. He's the typewho s down and keepsfighting back to*try andsalvage at least some pride ifnothing else.* *

The baseball team has hada rough time this spring. ButCoach Cook, never o n e t o holdback wo rds,; rathervehemently pointed out to hisball players th e importance o fpride, winning and dedicationto the sport if they want toplay for him.;(I'm sure theextra wind-sprints emphasized h i s points also ). Andthe Lakers, plagued jjwithinjuries, show they have aheart. Mercyhurst f defeatedYoungstown State Collegelast Mondav in both ends of adoubleheader I behind someclutch (as usual) pitching byBones Weismueller and a fewbooming bats.

Going into thedoubleheader Mercyhurstneeded both wins Ho pull .500for the season. They tookthem and that's what J call"guts" baseball.
