Tennis CourtControversy Resolved

By Karen MerkleMERCIAD News Editor^

The recent controversy over thenew "campus parking lot, whichwas formerly the outdoor tenniscourts,, has been resolved, accor-ding to president of the college,Dr. William P. Garvey.

The problem began last week,when a letter from the Mercy hurstWomen's Tennis Team appearedon the editorial page of TheMerciad. 1

Signed by Coach Ric Hardenand seven members of the team,

the letter was an angry response tothe summer switch of the tenniscourts behind the MercyhurstApartments into a new 120 spaceparking lot. „

In the letter, the team said thatbecause of the lack of tenniscourts for last week's matchagainst Grove City, "the embar-rassment iwe, (the team) faced,will never be forgotten."*

All of this, according to Dr.Garvey, is "pure, unadulteratedbaloney." "I'm annoyed with thesituation. I had no idea there wasa problem," Garvey said, referr-ing to the tennis team letter, a

But now, he explained "theproblem with St. Mark's has beenresolved." V

Dr. Garvey explained that there

was. some question about theavailability of the four St. Mark'scourts for the tennis team and stu-

dent use.Any student who wants to use

the St. Mark's courts can call theathletic department to make anappointment. mv

He explained that the old Mer-cyhurst courts have long been aproblem, citing their bad locationand worsening conditions.

Dr. Garvey and others havebeen concerned with the courts'location next to the baseball field.He said the possibility of injuryfrom a foul ball has always beengreat, and that "We've run out onour streak of luck."

There were also unofficial war-nings from the school's insurancecompany about the possibilities ifsomeone were to be hurtaccidentally.

|frn addition, the condition ofthe courts has steadily decreased.So, early this summer, Dr. Garveysaid, it wasdecided that the courtswere unsuitable for-playing, andthat,£trepairs would run intothousands of dollars.

Since there always seems to be aparking shortage at Mercyhurst,this seemed a way to solve)twoproblems at once.

So in June, the decision wasmade to turn the courts ^into aparking lot, explained Garvey.

At this time, Dr. Garvey said,

the athletic staff was informed ofthe plans for the courts. T•f This was seen as a good time for

the conversion of the courts sincethe recent acquisition of St.Mark's Seminary has made fourmore courts available to the tennisteam. These courts, along with thetwo indoor courts, on campus,were believed by the administra-tion to be sufficient.

Coach Ric Harden replied thatwhile! all four St. Mark's courtsare in good condition, six courts

St. Mark's Tennis Courtsare still needed in one location fora match.

According to Dr. GarveyHandE. William Kennedy, director ofstudent services, parking space isalso in desperate need.

There was a definite ''parkingcrunch" on campus, Kennedysaid. "We are very happy to havethe parking, though not necessari-ly at the expense of the tennis

courts," he added.Dr. Garvey stressed that t

need for parking is specifically itense around the MercyhuApartments and the CampCenter, especially when events abeing held in the gym.

But, Harden remains uncovinced that the conversion of ttennis courts was the best pathchoose. «*

Davor Photo CompanyTo C reate:Se n i or SupplementByBrent Scarpo

MERCIAD Staff ReporterDue to an $8,000 loss, the

Mercyhurst yearbook nolonger exists. In its place, willbe the new Senior Supplement.

Sheila Delaney, studentgovernment treasurer said,"Last year, we allotted about$12,000, and made about$3,450. So, we lost approx-imately $8,00 0."

The decision to discontinuethe yearbook occurred,:springterm last year on May 22, at aspecial MSG meeting. FourBudge t P r oposa l s wer e

created: A, B, C, and D.:

Budget A entailed raising theactivities feeand discontinuingthe yearbook. Budget B entail-ed not raising the activities feeand discontinuing the year-book. Budget C had a fee in-crease and continuing the year-book, and finally, Budget Dhad an increase in fee, whilecontinuing the yearbook.

After much deliberation,Pat Reed, MSO J Represen-tative, made a motion to ac-cept Budget Proposal B, whichcontained no fee increase andno yearbook for the 1983-84

school year. Tom Buckleyseconded the motion.

A roll call vote was taken,which showed 10 in favor, sixagainst, and one abstentionresponse to Budget; ProposalB. The motion was carried. 1

That particular vote produc-ed a number of results. Besidesnot having a yearbook, BrookeBuzard, former yearbookeditor said, "I was a littleupset, because I wasn't eveninformed of the specialmeeting being called."

Since the crucial vote, notmuch has been said or doneconcerning the issue, accordingto sources. It wasn't* untilrecently that]anyone knew ofthe new Senior Supplement.Sheila Delaney, as well as SueBennett, MSG% secretary, hadno idea of whether or not oneexisted or was going to exist.

E. William Kennedy, direc-tor; of student services, toldThe Merciad that the DavorPhoto Company, in Bensflen,Pennsylvania, was'selected todo the 1983-84 senior portraits.The company voluntarily saidthat they would create a SeniorSupplement, consisting of

senior portraits and campussurroundings. The supplementis free to all seniors who gettheir pictures taken by 'thecompany.

Abe Orlick, President ofDavor Photo Inc., agreed thathe would, "photograph eachmember of the senior class andsubmit color proofs of four.'poses in the yearbook* attireand two poses in academic capand gown; to schedule ailsenior portrait sittings and su p-ply the seniors with appoint-ment slips containing all pre-sitting information required,

along with designating the timeand place of the appointment.In addition, he will mail proofsto seniors. Having additionalposes entails an additionalcost.' The cost for publicationof the directory will be absorb-'ed by Davor Photo in lieu ofthe services that would havebeen given to a yearbook. Thenumber of copies of studentdirectories will equal the

number of seniors photograph-ed, with an additional twenty-five copies being printed forthe college, free of charge."

It is impressive to see a student organization so full of energyand creative projects for the benefit of the student body.

The time has come to recognize the efforts and leadershipskills of this grou p. If you haven't guessed yet, it's the StudentActivities Comm ittee, (SAC).

This year the SAC officers: chairperson, John Jones; vice-chairperson, James Sherrod; treasurer, Christie Smith;

w W W W '

secretary, Patrick Callahan; public relations officers, BrentScarpo and Jean Moniewski, under the guidance of MarjorieMcDermott the student activities director, have truly shined.

Each week these people work hard to plan and tailor differentactivities both on and off campus, to meet the needs and wantsof the Mercyhurst community.

Octoberfest, Chicken Wing Night, Midnight Madness, HeroNight, and Surprise-Surprise are some of the upcoming eventsthat are going to b e first activities to ever be sponsored by SACin its history.

*To make these events successful and on-going in the future,students need to support SAC and let the officers know whatthey think. After all, it's your money that is being used to payfor the activities.

This year two positions have been revitalized in order t o m akeSAC more productive. The Public Relations position has beendivided into two categories. Brent Scarpo is in charge of adver-

tising and publicity, and Jean Moniewski meets with people togenerate ideas, distribute information, and survey the Mer-cyhurst community to find out their likes and dislikes aboutevents.

Currently, letters of intent are being accepted for FreshmenActivities Officer. This position,has been improved to ensurethat ideas from freshmen are generated.

In addition, the Freshmen Activities officer would beavailable to help with other Student Activities Committee dutiesin case another officer is unable to do so.!The Freshmen A c-tivities Officer post is also a steppiing-stone to other leadershippositions.

By re-evaluating add up-dating the officer duties in SAC, thetalent becomes more developed and allows activities to expand.

SAC is the students of Mercyhurst C ollege. Anyone can jointhe organization and give input through suggestions, working atevents, making decorations and even enjoying activities

sponsored. $Bravo to SAC for a job being well done.

England in the Spring

nanBy Chris Chmielewski

When I recall the five weeks Ispent in England J and Scotlandthis past spring, I get incrediblynostalgic and sentim ental/ Iremember getting caught in adownpour in the English coun-tryside, seeing Mick Jagger in'adisco in London, travelingthrough the Scottish Highlands'and w ishing that I could smugglea lamb back into the States, ex-perimenting with various Englishales, and daydreaming in Har-rod's. I miss all these things andmany others, but what I probablymiss the.* most is my visit toGlastonbury. \

As far back as I can remember,I've always [been interested inEnglish history, especially when itdealt with knights, chivalry,Robin Hood,, and King Arthur.While I was in Britain, I wanted tosee many of the historic places

that I've read about. 1 especiallywanted to see Tintagel, where thecastle ruins of A rthur's childhoodhome exist. But, alas, the CornishCoast, where Tintagel is located,is very difficult to get to without acar, so If opted for another spotsteeped in Arthurian legend.'That's when my roommate, Gina,who is a total Arthurphile, sug-gested we venture to Glastonbury.

Glastonbury is a town ofhistory and legend. The problemis that the history and legends areso intermingled, that they are in-separable. Most of the town's

. history involves King Arthur andthe Holy Grail. Glastonbury Ab-bey is the alleged burial place ofKing Arthur and his consort,Guinevere, the stream flowing

under Palimer Bridge is where Ex-calibur is hidden,-and the ChaliceWell Garden is the protector ofthe Holy Grail. ]*

So, on Friday, the 13th of May,(an appropriate day for seekingout legends), Gina and I set outfor our Arthurian adventure.After'a three r\our combinationtrain and bus ride, we finally ar-rived in Glastonbury.

The first stop in, our journeywas Glastonbury Abbey. The Ab-

| bey was dissolved in 1539 byHenry VIII when he abolished theRoman Catholic Church and in-

| stituted the Churchh of England.L As a result, the Abbey was aban-

doned and now only the ruins re-main. Pieces of the structurestand out against the landscape-

like redwood trees in a meadow.

Amid the ruins is Arth ur's allegedburial plot. Surprisingly, there isno shrine, only a simple marker.Whether this is Arthur's realburial ipiace no one will everknow, but I would like to .thinkhe's iburied here. There's such apeacefulness here that befits sucha legend as Arthur.

Also among the ruins is the'Thorn Tree of St/Joseph ofArimathea, a follower of Jesus.He came to England in hopes ofconverting the pagans, but he

wasn't having much luck. So toshow the pagans that his God wassupreme, he thrust his staff intotheJground and it took root andblossomed. Supposedly/ eversince then, it blooms twice a year,at Christmas and Easter. i" S|

Finally we left the ruins, feelinglike we momentarily stepped backin time.

The next place we wanted to gosee was the Chalic Well Gardens,where the Holy Grail is supposed-ly hidden, but we didn't know

how to get there, so we'stoppedinto an antique store'and askedfor directionsJ The owner of theantique store, a woman by thename of Barbara Cox, not onlygave directions, but she also toldus many of the legends andmysteries of Glastonbury. Mrs.Cox is presently working on adocumentary film on King Arthurfor CBS, so we were lucky to beable to talk to an expert on thesubject. *

She told us about Excalibur andthe Chalice Well Gardens. Abouta mile from the Abbey is PalimerBridge, which now covers a smallstream. Apparently, at One timethe stream was a slow-movingriver with an island in the middle.This island (the Isle of Avalon) is

now present-day Glastonbury and

the river, which flows around theIsle, is where Excalibur wasthrown. Legend has- it that whenArthur fought his final battleagainst M ordred, he was woundedand taken to the Isle of Avalon torecover. Before he left for the Isle,he instructed one of his loyalknights, Perceval, to toss hissword, Excalibur, into the river.So that's why*Excalibur is sup-posedly h idden ' som ew her ebeneath Palimer Bridge.

So, we left Mrs. Cox and madeour way to the Chalice WellGardens. The Gardens containbeautiful foliage,j waterfalls,fountains, and, of course, theChalice Well. As legend goes, St.Joseph of Arimathea brought theHoly Grail (the chalice that Christused at the Last Supper) with himwhen he came to convert thepagan Britons, and .for. somereason he hid the grail in this well.The water which flows from the

, well happens to be red. (Don't tellanyone, but the reason that thewater is red is that is has large irondeposits.) This water is supposedto have curative- * powers andpilgrims from ali.over the worldcome to drink it. ^

The area surrounding the wellmysteriously has a high magneticfield, and mediums and psychicscome here to "feel the vibes." Ad-cording to Barbara Cox,, a few

I *years ago, psychics met here andprevented the end of the world.

At last, we finally made it to thefoot of Tor. The Tor is a^very,

I very s'teep hill with a ruined chapelatop. The hike up the Tor is ex-hausting, but the view from thetop is worth it. It was a beautiful,

clear day and I could see formiles. The top was so windy that Ihad to hold my glasses on to keepthem from blowing off my face.On the way down the Tor, Ginaand I met up with a flock i ofsheep. TheyJfreely roam the Tor,so you have to watch where youstep. . i

According to Barbara Cox, awhite witchcraft" sect, TheEssenes, hold mysterious ritualsatop the Tor. So apparently, theTor has more than a nice view.t

To end our Arthurian Adven-ture, we ate dinner in a 500-year-old restaurant and drifted back intime.

First jFulbright ScholarGraces Mercyhurst College

By Chris ChmielewsklMERCIAD Staff Reporter

In keeping up with its commit-ment for ^academic excellence,Mercyhurst College has invitedErik Borgman, a Ful brightScholar from Holland, to assist inthe , Theology Department thisterm.

The Fulbright Foundationbegan in 1946 when Senator J.William Fulbright sponsored theFulbright Act, which enabled col-lege students to study, lecture,teach, and research in a foreignland. It's purpose^was to bridgethe cultural gaps, so as to create abetter understanding of the; dif-ferent peoples of the world, ijV

Over the years, the program has.expanded so much that over 100international agencies and em-bassies are involved in this pro-ject. Only the best scholars in each

field I are awarded FulbrightScholarships. For example, in theU.S., only 650 scholarships areawarded each year and as many as19,000 people compete for thoseselect places. i

However, that still doesn't ex-plain why we have a FulbrightScholar at Mercyhurst. Well, lastyear Dr. Garvey approached RickBengel, transfer counselor, aboutacquiring a scholar for theTheology Department since therewould be a vacancy this fall. Ac-cordingly, ' Rick Bengel and Dr.

George Garrelts, Director of thePhilosophy and Religious StudiesDepartment, began work on* aproposal for submission to theScholars-in-Residence Programwith Western Europe, which

enables smaller institutions* thatwould normally not be able toparticipate in the AFulbright Pro-gram, a chance.

Dr. Garvey said, "ErikBorgman's presence here reflectsour commitment of academic ex-cellence to the - community ... Itadds* prestige and luster to the

college."'While Borgman is here he will

be teaching, lecturing and resear-

ching. Presently he is teachingContemporary Theologian, theReligious Person, and an indepen-dent study entitled the Existenceof G o d . C o n t e m p o r a r yTheologians deals with the Euro-pean theologians Rahner,Schillebeecx, and Kung and howtheology applies to the ordinaryperson. Borgman was a former

T Erik Borgmanstudent of Schillebeecx, so he hasfirst-hand knowledge of the sub-ject. Dr. Garvey said, "Borgmanprovides an intellectual, interna-tional element for our students.He has a great deal to offer forthose who are interested."

This is Borgman's first ex-perience teaching and accordingto Dr. Garrelts he is doing ratherwell. "His teaching is powerfuland lucid." Garrelts .continued,"I hope Erik's presence will be thebeginning of an academic enlarge-ment of mind and spirit for us."

Referring to his teaching,Borgman said, "I t has been a verygood experience because I have to

make the material understandablefor someone -with little or nobackground in that area and this'brings me down to earth'."'

Borgman's teaching will not belimited to the Mercyhurst com-munity . He also has scheduled lec-tures at Villa Maria College, andBehrend State College. He is con-

ducting a service at a localUnitarian Church, and a seminaron Liberation Theology for

teachers of the parochial schooljdistrict of Erie. *|And if that isn't enough, he will

also be trying to research for hisdoctoraalscriptie (similiar to aPh.D.) onJLiberation*TheoIogy,and he will be observing theAmerican Catholic Church.

Borgman has been trying to doresearch on his doctoraalscriptie,but since the sources in the libraryare limited, he hasn't' been able toso far. His thesis on LiberationTheology deals with a movementin theology to study the ex-perience of the oppressed peoplein the world, especially LatinAmerica, and how that relates totheology. Borgman described it as"reading from the eyes of thepoor."

Besides all these intellectualpursuits, .Borgman is observingthe cultural differences betweenthe U.S. and Europe. He par-ticularly noted the differences incollege life. He said that inEurope there are no campuses.

In terms of academics, he saidthat business courses would betaught at vocational schools andnot in conjunction with the realacademics such as philosophy,theology, ^ l i t e r a t u r e , an dlanguage. (Only the latter aretaught at universities. This is notmeant in fa derrogatory manner,it's just how schools are separatedin Europe. Borgman said, "If youare studying for a degree inEnglish or whatever, then that'sall^you study for four years. In

Europe, students specialize, andin America, students have abroader background."

According to Borgman, "Thereare good and bad aspects of eachsystem, but what I prefer here isthe sense of community. Everyonehere knows each other and it'svery easy to feel at home." *|

'Easy Money' jCounterfeit Come

Easy Money, an Orion Picturerelease, was directed by JamesSignorelli and produced by JohnHicolella. It stars Rodney Danger-field, Joe Pesci, Geraldirie Fit-zgerald and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

In the film, Dangerfield por-trays Monty Capaletti, a familyman, a business man, but mostly,an "ecological menace." When heis not being a glutton for the lesserthings in life, he's an obnoxiousbaby photographer. There,is,?noreal separation between his pro-fessional life and his unrefinedcharacter.Effi-In *short, the story goes I asfollows: Monty Capaletti standsto inherit a $10 million corpora-tion if (and only if), he can betotally rid of all his nasty habits ina certain!amount of time. Fromthis point on, you see Dangerfieldperforming probably his most dif-ficult role — a reformed man.

Danger field's style of humor iscrude and very ill-bred. He skipsright over being suggestive and

uses only very callow you don't care for thicomedy, you're better oing the movie.

The plot seemed tofrom fast-paced scene(slow-moving scenes, wit difficult to maintain aterest in the film. In mthe funniest scenes wereexcluded Dangerfield asense of humor.

Was there a themmovie? Basically, it didtoo much depth; A posscould be the will-poweroneself using >the o"When the going gets tough get going."Capaletti tough? Doesing? I'll never tell .

With what may be one of themost impressive views of the cityin all of Erie, Mercyhurst's "Topof the Hill Club " opened its doorsto the college community on Mon-day, September 12.

"It's still the beginning of theyear, and people don't really

Weidman, along with ExecutiveChef jjAlicia Wegemer and Ac-countant Arlene Roman, super-vise a student staff of abouttwenty. !1

\*i "I really enjoy it because all ofthe people who come there arepart of the M ercyhurst Communi-ty, and it's really nice to get toknow them."

Located on the ground floor ofSt. Mark's Center, the Club Din-ing Room seats approximately 40people. JL "I would love to see it expand-

ed, because I'm sure in the futureyears the club will have a lot morem e m b e r s h i p s , " W e i d m a ncommented.

{Frank Pauze, HRM Depart-ment Director, said that the goalof the club is "to be a service tothe community . . . we're notthere to make a big profit." . «

Resume Booklet ToAid Seniors'Job Search

Seniors are nearing their lastyear of college, but it also marksthe beginning of stepping beyondthe Mercyhurst gates to look for ajob. '*.

Knocking on doors for employ-ment is a tedious task. However,the Career Services department atMercyhurst has alleviated some ofthe tension of seeking jobs^

To aid seniors in their jobsearch, a resume booklet isassembled by the Career ServicesOffice. j

According to Tyrone Moore,|director of Career Services, "eachresume costs $10.00 for the firstpage and $5.00 for each addi-tional page."

Many students have questionedwhy they have to pay for this ser-vice. Moore said it is not a freeservice because the cost of postageand printing must be covered. |

The booklet, which consisted ofabout 75* resumes last year, wassent to 200 companies, social ser-

vices and school districts, fBecause jMoore is acquain

with many people in the persondepartments of various copanies, he decides where booklets should be sent.

Prior to sending the bookleeach student's resume is pofread for grammatical erroMooref said,, "This^jis to ensaccuracy."

Moore assures that each resuis not tampered with in regardscontent. *

To learn how to write an efftive resume, the Career ServiO f f ice has coo rd in a ted workshop. The workshop is aed at preparing students, for interviews as well as learning hto convey themselves effectivthrough their resume.

Seniors who would like to htheir resume sent to perspectemployers, should submit thresume to the Career Services fice by Friday, October 14.

'Outlook'! LookingFor Successful Year

An offspring of Mercyhurst'sgrowing interest in the culturalaspect of educa tion, is the collegeLiterary Magazine, Outlook.

Last year, a small ? group ofstudents and advisor of Outlook,Sr. Lisa Mary McCartney, pro-fessor of English, organized themagazine and gave it life. Thestudents edited, typed, andd e s i g n e d t h e m a g a z i n ethemselves. According to Sr. LisaMary, "Lastf year's issue was

rough ,, but considering the vlimited resources we had to wowith, I think we did a good joWe were happy just to get it the ground. This year we're loing forward to a more profsional publication. We have mtime and money to work with, that will be a great advantage.

Political Power. DoesThePublic Pay The Price?

By Mary Jo AllenMERCIAD Feature EditorMercy hurst College Perspec-

tives on a Changing WorldSeries opened last week withlecturer Seymour M. Hersh, anoted investigative reporterand political novelist. Hersh'slecture. "The Price of Power:Seymour Hersh Reports* pro-motes his latest book concern-ing Henry Kissinger during theRichard Nixon presidentialoffice.

Th e lect ure, co-sponsored bythe college and Mercy hurstStudent Government, was oneof many Hersh addresses tostuden ts in his desire to weakenapathy.

"One of the things aboutstudents that interests me to-day, speaking on campuses, isyou find an (almost appalling

lack of information about theVietnam War ... the Flandersfield for the children of to-day,'* he said.

I n the St. Mark's auditoriumspeech« Hersh presented hisopinion that Kissinger was avery powerful man in the

shadows of the Vietnam con-flict, * Watergate, and other44very serious mischief'* of the

Nixon terms. While he feelsmuch of the blame goes to alack of integrity in our highestofficials and an overall declineof character and morals, he isalso willing to blame the pub licfor their ignorance.

"I don't know why the peo-ple don't demand to knowm o re , " He r s h s t a t e s i nreference to both incidents ofthe 60's and 70's and alsopresent-day turmoil such asManila ; , and the Koreanairliner. -'

Hersh sees politicians aselaborate game players in astruggle to gain power andmanipulate world affairs. Histirade took in everyone fromPresidential candidates to

secret service agents, down tothe common man who allows itto happen. He spoke of a4' d o u b l e - s t a n d a r d " in

America, where the people ex-pect each other to be basicallyhonest, but don't impose thesame values on their elected

Seymour

off ic ials."We don't seem to hold the

very highest leaders of our landto the same standard ... it'sokay to l ie in off ic ia lWashington at the top of thegovernment, whereas it's notokay to lie at home.'*

Because he feels this iswrong, Hersh spends much of *his career researching past liesand exposing them to publicview. 44If we dwell on the past,there is a lot to lea rn."

He is trying to spread thetruth to an audience he feelsaccepts far too much, abasically thankless job but,44you don't give up," he said.

Hersh praises the country,"this is a spectacular coun-try," and our political system.

In a press conference heldbefore the lecture, he spoke ofPresident Ronald Reagan ashaving "much more integrity... balance" ' than previous

M. Hersh

presidents, but his administra-tion as a whole being, "over itshead." - \

Hersh Jwarns, however, of'trusting the media too muchand depending on them to ex-pose every ill. "Don't look tothe press to solve problems ...

<;we're very limited in ourpower," he says.

Instead, he looks to ourlegislators to watch over ourinterests. "The Congress hasan obligation ... to share withus exactly what, is going on.Congress has the right to doit," he said.

Hersh concluded with a brief

question and answer periodfrom his small but enlightenedaudien ce, followed by areception.

The next scheduled lecture inthe series is foreign policyanalyst Ambassador GeorgeBall on Thursday, October 6.

.The ten-week program will

allow Mercyhurst students tostudy for five,weeks on campusand the other half of the term inBritain. Studies will begin on cam-pus March 20, and continue inBritain o n April 24 .

The actual cost for the fiveweeks in Britain, including airfare, hotel, some breakfasts anddinners is $1,440.00. Mercyhursttuition and fees for'spring termworth nine credits is $1,387.00.Also included in the cost is$270.00 for room and $161.25 forhalf-board. Therefore, the totalcost of the trip is $3,258.25.

The five weeks on-cam pus pro-gram will consist of three classes

worth nine credits.The three classes offered will

b e: C o n t e m p o ra ry En g l i s hWriters, History of the BritishIsles, and Seminar of ModernBritain.

Even though there will not beany formal course work abroad,

the students will be able to seeplays and lectures and talk aboutthem afterwards in great detail. |Most of what the students will bestudying in class will actually beseen abroad, fi *

When asked about the foreignstudies program,'Dr. Jewell saidthat Am erican people need to ex-pand their experiences by visitingdifferent cultures and learningabout the people. She also statedthat, "the program contributes tostimulate the students, to help,them learn about other ways ofliving and people, and to actuallyexperience a different culture."

Just as last year. Dr. Jewell will

be the instructor in Europe. Shetook a group of eleven students toLondon, France, and Scotland,spring term of '83. J

Chris Chmilwski, a sophomorewho went on the trip last yearsaid, "the trip really made megrow up." She also believes the

trip was not a liixury, it was a lear-ning experience.

Another student said that, "bystudying abroad I gained a senseof learning to deal with peoplethat aren't from my own coun-try." He would suggest thatstudents go because it was a "ter-rific experience." % v«

Students who are interested inthe program should sign up beforethe end of fall term, arid a $100deposit should be submitted to thebusiness office.

If any student wishes to findout more abou t the program, theyshould contact Dr. MarilynnJewell in Preston Hall, Room 222.
