Five Sophomores Receive ScholarshipFive Mercyhurst sophomoreswere recently awarded a $750.00Egan Scholarship for theiracademic achievement duringtheir freshman year. .Thescholarship is renewable for theirremaining three years providedthey maintain a QPA of 3.0.%. Scholastic achievers are: KellySteen, Mary Ellen McFarland,Mary-LynneCicon, Heidi Hennelland Cynthia Fuhrer. Each ofthese students was nominated bya faculty member at the end oftheir freshman year as a poten-tial Egan Scholar. After in-terviews with the Egan Counciland the Program Director, Dr.Vivetta Petronio, they were ac-cepted into the program as third-

term freshmen.Accepting academicallypromising third-term freshmenas Egan Scholars is a traditionalprocedure; awarding themscholarships is not. However, fir-st year funds were madeavailable for scholarships to begiven to upperclassmen whoshowed scholastic achievemen t.r,v Barry Zembower, Director ofFinancial Aid, allocated thesefunds through the Egan Scholarsprogram. He chose from the listof 'new' Egan Scholars those withthe top five QPA's and then awar-ded the scholarships. j*These students have inot ac-cepted the money Without respon-sibility. They have [obligated

themselves by contract to com-plete at least six Egan ex-periences, and must engage inthe entire program (12 Egan ex-periences) to graduate as anEgan Scholar. fEnthusiastic about the unex-pected funds, Dr. Petronioremarked,' *"It is valuable to recognizeacademic achievement of studen-ts already at Mercyhurst. Thesescholarships will provide in-centive for our talented studen-ts." ; IHopefully the awarding ofscholarships to new EganScholars will become traditional;however, the future of such ap-propriations is uncertain. *Garvey To Address Students;

More Adults Attracted T o CollegeHurst Follows National Trend. (CPS) How do colleges attractthose students who are becomingso much a part \ of highereducation? , f. *j %Fordham U. doesf it byusing .. . older students. S ^The friendly faces, ages andnames of current students arefeatured r-in newspapers adsdrawing attention to Fordham'sEXCEL program, a special in-troductory curriculum designedfor the person who's been out ofschool for a while. "LoisRabinowitz is a 43-year-oldcollege student. She's in EX-CEL . . . earning a ForhamB.A." headlines a typical ad inthe New York Times.The older students choose theirfield of study and proceed at theirown pace. Classes are m ade to fita I w o r k i n g a d u l t ' sschedulethey're offered in thedaytime .evening and on Satur-day mornings. Older students canalso get up to 40 credits forLife-Work expe rienc e. Many ofth e 2,200 EXCEL studentscurrently enrolled were attractedto Fordham because of thenewspaper ads, according toDoris Dieter, associate directorof admissions at Fordham . 3"We use students with a frien-dly open look on their faces andwe use different ages to appeal todifferent groups," she says. "The

newspaper ads are very im-portant - there is no other wayyou can reach some of thesepeople, unless they have friendsin school or some other j con-nection." EsS Sj WW ~'Mercyhurst is also making astrong effort to attract olderstudents to the college. Mjj-jJSDr. Jerry Dreller. director ofAdult education at the Hurst,explained that Adult Educationhas always been 1 emphasized,but with Dr. 4 Garvey j asPresident, it has been stronglyreemphasized jj because of hiscommitment! to serve adultstudents. L y W |s v9 "The average age of the collegestudents is getting higher at Mer-cyhurst as well as around thecoun try," {continued Dreller.Enrollment of adult students atMercyhurst is up between 20 and25% fromllast year. Th s in-crease can be attributed to therecent television advertisingand to Incentive scholarships.These acholarships are offeredto adult students because,* saidDreller, "Traditional grantsand scholarships discriminateagainst adults. \ They cannotreceive BEOG or PHEAA. Wecan equalize this discriminationin a small way by offering In-centi ve! scholarships." Themaximum amount of money anadult student! can receive at

Mercyhurst is $65.00 per cour-sej SBBfflHBcl^^B8Jj Although! adult students atuniversities like*Forham canreceive up to 140 credits!forLife-Work experience, i Mercy-hurst, as of now! offers only afew. The maximum number thathas been granted to Mercyhurststudents is six.*a I KI Like Fordham U., Mercyhurstalso offers a variety of credit andnon-credit \ courses duringevening and weekend hours sothat working adults may attend. 1

"The major problem adults en-counter,'^ said Dressier," isbecoming re-adjusted to school.Many of them haven't been inschool in 20 or 30 years and theyforget the basic skills,c usuallytheir skills are rusty a first." 1The adult student, the oldestbeing in their 60's and 70's, tendto take school more seriouslythan the younger students. Theyar e ambitious and usually do wellin their classes. ^B9 T B S Hif "The big benefit of increaseda d u l t i e d u c a t i o n , " s a i dDreller, * "is \the integration ofolder and younger students inclasses.
