Allan Watts.*However, they perform mainly forftheir own material in the ^belief that such an approach is essential to developing their own style. |^The ability to entertain, tooofitenl missing! in many of today's "Let's get jup there andjam for an hour" rock bands, isthe most apparent quality of"Moses". All from the Cleve-land, Ohio area; the membersare $Brian iKdnchy, Dennis Car-leton, Randy KHawon and*!DavidAlexy. ^iBirian's ttieatrics combinedwith Randy's excellent lead guitar work make them one of themost exciting audio-visual acts

in the east.

by AlfMessinaRecently t l ;^ Sophomore class at {Mercyhurst ij conducted a class meeting. The essential concern of. the meeting was to de-I termine the utility. of $implementing a (Freshm an initiation pro-. grain. | } *A historic occasion it was^not! g ^2*Phe Iprimary^ coneiern/ of th e ieeti^ig i. was to consider? th e^necessity of developing a WaWe|Erehman^i^tia|^m tradition?a^tradition that ^has been dissipating fin the . past tfewfc years jfcandn the verge to total abatement. i

Hit Is , therefore, my opinion fohat this tradition has neverbe^ii very I string atjMercyhursfc>and an a t t empt at kits revitali-z$tion woidffifo&|]toflg}ly unwarranted. jJMftny justifications were4put*forth j b y ^ various .students |at. the m eeting, id eas, that for the j most party had ^consensus sup*^pprt. pojvever, it is^my conl^BtiJon rthat t^e|ja|guments#pre5entf^ed by^the Sophomore class in;support of.thefproject were eith-$F^Gonfcradjctory or jpetty. i # #

tOne student| asserted, while the|rest clamored in supportiveunison,j that an initiation iprogram 4would 4 h'elp I assimilate the[inew students into theilife of the College.*Even-a fool could posi-j lively affirm | that absurd physical * actions (imposed), duress,and humiliationlserve little or no assimilative function. JWithout1 question, many students would not consider this!aHJstressfs!tuati-&n, and hfence, there would*be no serious reper?cussions. iHowever, many would indeed approach ^the situationapprehensively and it vould \ undoubtedly have an adverse ef-*fect on them. iI Furthermore,^ if ifce Sophomore* class As so . uiamanjEiy t con |cemed about assimilating new students they should be \ willingto welcom e! them openly and ^extend a warm hand off friendship.

lit is through - welcome rather^ than . frivolous Ramies !,that the.best job of assimilation can be done. Moreover,liUis through weircome *and greeting that^man displays his* basic . empathy and|i compassion. for others. fSpecifically, what, new students need most is your, help and(jconsideration, no t .your ludicrous*games! $It is important to note, however, that| Marie Olivieri statedemphatically] that there would be no |ph ysi ca i| harm Involved.. -She* re-assured; everyone there --that* the class had no malicious^intentions. MYet the question is not iwhat;* the program will not do, butLg rather what it,a in fact, will do. 'Another student affirmed, with relatively .frlarge support of^theifdass, thatf initiation helps peopled grow up. I can onlytsayp| that 11 have never met a person who grew Up in one$week.Growth lis a lifetime ^process, ^agprocess that isf hardly stim-ulated by submission, anxie ty, and absurb/*role playing. Yes,E there is a time ifor good naturedi clowning, butinotiwhen it in-Evolves the emotional stability of an individual thrown Into a4Hovel situation* Vdt s'eems to be a popular ^American misconception to believepfthat disciplined,.- stress situations have *a f ma turat ion effect with^respect to individual growthfandSstability.^Ironically, ferMhe most|part, - the individual has a tendency|&%o>epress anxieties related to a%stress situation,,* and, fin recall,euphfemizenhemf away. The human mind, it must be remembered , has an amazing^ffinity^for consciously forgetting or euphe-j$inizing*that wMcMis unpleasant. .g jTo |fully |compreliend, in retrospect^ ou r ffieUngs and[^thoughts of pleasant experiences is difficult enough. However,to recall an unpleasant situation that has in allprobability beenrepressed, and to reconcile it as a positive experience, is a raregift. MSome believe Freud could do* it.)Itfgives' me great comfort to know that*our Sophomore class

displays* suchir^re talents of perception.| | | After jjalrrgdidn't they grow up last year after they were initiated?^ p i J ^j& ' I. {With {respect to the assertion that Freshman initiation, hasbeen a tradition at jMercyhurst, ft would like to pose a few^ques-tions. i ' W 'fit initiation^ has | been sucn a tradition \ at Mercyhurst, andthe|verbal consensous supported the assumption, ttoenj why wasit necessary* to vote onjitsfjjmplenientation for*the coming year?jThere should be no question! 1 i '*&

Perhaps - Ifm, wrong. However, ifI am correct and given the fact male students are^a minority,Freshman initiation could very .well be an ^extremely tenuousSituation. | $H A aiumber offethings, could result.

Why not give considerationto^unforfcanid Senior participation? Such an approach will serve$o co a l i n g eff ect.JIttis my cpntentionjas an act of good faith,the|i^unior and Senior classes should *at least be notified! that iti|s going^to be a Sophomoresclass project. But even under thesearoumstanoes itfwillfserve no unifying function.?To sieek unity is a noble endeavorbut*theoreticaily this comcept refers to all, not jlist a few!! j ^ f ?$lIn linal^analysis, it is my conviction the decision of the Sophomore class .to institute a Freshman initiation programiwas theresulty ofq indecision, lack of enough constructive discussion f,onthe^isg^e/i pet^y motivation, and general ^nisunderstanding ofthe^alidifor oftthe pr^ect. :yThey ,were>unable,*in my opinion, to develop substantial andintelligible evidence that thefprogram was warranted.In dosing I would like to thank Marie 01ivieri for allowingme to express my]r opinions, concerning t ^ e | program, at theSophomore* motivation and lack of energy.

to some o!f the coaches whojwHlrun their respective itearns inMeroyhurst's revitalized athleticpograin.

(First was -la visit to thecoaches of the^golf J team, MissJean Forsythe and Mr.' BarryMcfAndrew. They revealed theirplans for the coming season, although some of these plans aresomewhat uncertain at ffchisitme.'Our schedule is still beingworked on, fbut we know of atleast six matches for the spring.Cannon Athletic Director "Bud"Elwell is setting up our schedule this year sdnce|this iste newexperience for us. We plan toset up our own schedule nextyear."

The subject of this year'steam was brought up, and, although far from being ^settled,five names were mentioned asbeing lin the running for positions^ o n the team. They are:Rich Magner, a transfer student Sivosm^ Greenville; RichOhman, a transfer from Erie;John Boback, another transferfrom Erie; Dario Cipriani, afreshman from Erie; and finally, James McPoland, a freshman from the Buffalo vicinity.The coaches said that Boback,Ohman, Cipriani and MoPolandhad some schoJarship'aid givento them for their talents.Aslfor the future, Miss Forsyth ?and Mr. MoAndrew wanttheir team to develop in a"'fully competitive" atmosphere.a to build upto play 'class*schools and* want to be able tocompete on even terms withthese teams. We fwant to havefall and spfing matches, hopefully by next year. For oitrmatches, Lawrence Park willbe our 'home' course. Eventually! w e hope&o get a Southern tour in5 the early Sipring."At the conclusion of the interview, both coaches had one important fact they wanted to em-

MissVPrice

"We areour schedulegoin**

phasize. \ Ouriteam is farffrombeing set. We would invite anyone who is interested in goingout for the golf team to contactone of us as soon as possible.We are planning on winterworkouts, so we hope that anyone who wants to participatewould get in touch with us before fttoat in order to benefitfrom thisipractice."

Next was a visit to the coachoff this yea r's basketba ll* team ,Miss Janet Price. Miss Pricerevealed the "new Hook" girls'basketball we'll have this year.| As you | know, girls' basketball will resemble the boys'game in certain aspects. Theyare in having eachjteam onlyputting five players on the courtat one time, andf playing fullcourt with unlimited dribblingallowed.? This wfll maker thegametfaster and more skillfulthan fbefore."We are lucky in this areain having qualified officials forwomen's basketball. This is oneof the few areas where ofificialstake a test in order to officiategirfls' basketball."'Miss Price then told of howshe plans to run tills year'steamiandlher ideas^on competi-r academiescomes .sfirst in any college.'*jOne final com men t Miss Pricemade, tells the whole sftory ^whether any of the sports |atMercyhurst will succeed in theirgoals or not.J c We hope to have support forthe girls, and hope they will g&out and support the other teamsher e."
