/ Studentsjto: pay $7 more for registration
By Sandy Taylor -Beginning this winter term, registra-
tion fees will increase f from $10 to $17.50, according to Sally Fyke of the college's business office. C
The increase is due to the ever rising cost of paper and maintenance of the computer, Fyke said.
John Maus, director of finance, said the cost of maintaining the computer is increasing. "As the Hewlett-Packard 3000 (the college computer) ages, the cost of maintenance goes up." t
And the cost has certainly escalated, according to Pat Benekos, director of the computer center. "It's a difficult situation. The computer com-panies want more money for maintenance agreement contracts due to the age of the equipment."
The $7.50 increase will be reexamin-ed after spring term registration, William P. Garvey, president of Mer-cyhurst College, said. "Registration wjll not go any higher next year. It ma^ evefT'OU adjusTed tfrjp year. '^ ^

increase, v 2, J' "The full-time enrollment increased
only slightly this year. The largest in-crease in enrollment occurred with the part-time student. The budget did not correspond correctly with this type of enrollment. Therefore, registration fees-had to be increased," Dr. Garvey said.
Lillian Cohen, coordinator of the Adult College, believes; adult students might be hard hit with the new fee. But she agreed thafi services rendered at MercyhurstSare still the number>fone reason adults choose to come here.
Unlike most colleges in the area, Mercyhurst does not charge a com-puter service fee. Villa Maria College charges $25 penterm, while Gannon charges every student $100 for a com-puter lab fee each year. >,
Cohen also said the cost for the adult student here coordinates with the tu ition and fees of other colleges in the area....;&• fc& ^-afe^" '
No one likes to increase coats, but therealTfy o f lhe matteF"ls, Irs the cost of doing business," Maus said.
new reps take office Nine Mercy hurst||students were
elected to serve as representatives of the Mercyhurst Student Government. Four of these new reps won the elec-tion as write in candidates. »- Winning as write-in candidates were Laurie Albreht, Management; Becky Babbitt, Secretarial Management; Susani! Trumball, Medical Technology; and John Widecan, Math. J
There was a tie in the area of Interior Design. Both Megan Oddis and Janice Young were write-in candidates. Accor-ding to Elections Chairperson; Jean Weber, there is nothing in the;MSG constitution that provides for such an occurrence. Weber says that a deci-sion should be made by the officers around Thanksgiving about the matter.
Representing other departments are Jeanne Mastrian, Dietetics; Mary Beth

Filling the three Freshmen represen-tative posit ions fare Tim Harrington, Mark McAndrew,?and Maureen Percy. Weber notes that about 50 freshmen voted for their representatives. "There were about six write-in candidates for the freshmen rep positions," Weber said. >
fWeber commented that the low response might have been due to the fact?that some people didn't!unders-tand the ballots.
She noted; that approximately 85 students voted over the two day elec-tion period. A total of about 35 people voted for representativess within their major. -* Pj MSG President, Patrick Songer, said he was:
,4Pleased that the people we got are interested in government. It's quality, not quantity."
Representatives' responsibilities in-clude attending MSG meetings on Sunday nights and serving on various committees within he government. Reps are responsibile to report back to their department with any proposals concerning thefstudents within that deparment. $
Representatives will serve their department until the end of the academic year.

On Monday, a blanket of snow covered the * campus grounds. Although lit melted by the end of the week, students were able to make their first snowmen. *•
Wiringlsystemfinf™ Old Main inspected Two fire alarms alerted the Erie Fire
Department to Egan Hall last Friday. The first was a false alarm, while the second call was for valid cir-cumstances. Director of Housing and Safety, Phyllis Aiello, notes that whenever the fire alarms go off in the residence halls, there is an automatic ring into the Erie fire department.
As the alarms were ringing at 6:30 p.m., the R.A. evacuated the students from Egan Hall At that same time, the Erie fire trucks ^arrived on the scene. The firemen and a Mercyhurst College security guard, Sergeant Marshall Lillie, checked the building and found "no cause" for alarm. f ^
At 8:30 p.m. Myrtis Ashline, a housekeeper in Old Main, notified Sgt. Lillie and told him she smelled smoke. Ashline' thought the smoke was of an electrical nature. f
Upon checking the catwalk above the Education Department, Lillie discovered a smoldering extension cord wrapped and strung from «steel girder to steel girder, i
Lillie unplugged the extension cord and summoned*the fire department. The fire department checked the area and removed the jcord. *?J
Monday morning, deputy chief John Kucinski and deputy Don * Benc-zkowski inspected the premises. Ac-cording to Benczkowski, "The wiring is good. I can't see anything wrong now. They did do a good job rewiring."
Aiello notes that Egan and Old Main
were completely rewired within the last two years. "Here at Mercyhurst, all standards for fire safety are met in the electrical area." * yj
Noting that there aresno smoke detectors in Old Main, Aiello points out that there* isnj24 hour patrol surveillance throughout the building.
Aiello says the extension cord that caused the mishap |was a: "very old type wire that? had a cloth-like wrapping." t
* The director of Housing and Safety said there have been few problems of this nature. "Occasionally we have per-sons who have become careless with appliances." Such \ occurrences in-clude minor grease fires or hot pots left plugged in. i
Aiello notes that residents have not abused the privilege of using elec-trical appliances. 'There will be no such ban on them as long as they con-tinue to be used in moderation."

MSG Meeting
Council now a MSG club
By Betsy Lantz -The Commuter Council has
been accepted as a club by the M e r c y h u r s t S t u d e n t
Government. ?• Matt Shim, treasurer of the
Commuter Council, said recognition by MSG would give the Council the backing it needs in order to attract stu-dent interest. |
"We want to co-sponsor ac-tivities with SAC and MSG to get commuters more involved on campus," Shim said.
At present, the Council has only three members. Shim welcomed anyone interested, even students living on camft pus, to join the Council. *.
MSG President Pat Songer confirmed that the Council has met the criteria for clubs as contained in the MSG Constitution. *
The Commuter Council's Constitutionals on file in the MSG office, Songer added.
In other MSG business, the government revealed the results of the student survey regarding the academic calen-dar. Approximately 'J 344 students were interviewed. Of those students, 224 chose the present 4-3-3 system, 62 preferred the accelerated 4-3-3 •catentlar, and™5fir preferred semesters.
Songer said the results may not be taken to theSSenate, since the^Academic Policies Committee rejected the ac-celerated *term calendar.
Songer feels that the pre-sent 4-3-3 calendar will be retained. i N e w l y e l e c t e d MSG
representatives were welcom-ed to their first meeting.
|The next MSG meeting will be held on Sunday, December 2, at 7:30 p.m. in 114 Zurn.

Academic Policies C o m m / f f e e f i | \ / | § G j $ U r V e v f f i n d s t p r e s e n t rejectsteccelerated calendar
«By Jack R. Holland 8 Jt B P A proposed accelerated ver- j jsion of the current Mercyhurst |
College 4-3-3 academic calen-1 dar was rejected, by t h e * Academic Policies Commit- J tee last Thursday. | I !
The calendar, allowing f o r i fall term to be finished by I Thanksgiving of?S1985 a n d ! three weeks of the winter term 1 completed before Christmas was proposed by the college's £
^administration. The ac-A ? celerated calendar would have!
allowed students to begin 1 summer vacation in mid-M^y. |
After a brief discussion, the 1 committee voted unanimously to defeat the proposed calen-j dar and continue with the cur-| rent 4-3-3 calendar. One issues raised under the accelerated calendar was the payment of tuition fees. £k -i
Committee member Joy Kolb asked that if a tuition
& deadline was due three weeks : before Christmas, would this
not put the parents in a bind Ito meet the deadline. In response to the inquiry, E. William Kennedy, director of student services, reasoned that on the contrary, the tendency would be that ^the money would be there before Ghistmas more frequently than after. Y |
U4i Some reasons in favor of the jpposed*. calendar included the fact tr?a«ummer vacation would begin six days earlier, and it is very flexible as far as classroom availability.
The meeting concluded with Academic Dean David Palmer saying that he would contact the faculty to see if there is in-
terest in a semester schedule that would i inc lude Jtwo 15-week, 5-class terms, f Two of the problems?Dean Palmer must consider are not enough classroom! space and com-p l i c a t e d { s c h e d u l e arrangements. » H H | I 1

percent more new grads than they did last year.
Sixty-five percent of the companies anticipate more economic growth in 1985.
Evenlthe current economic slowdown won't dampen spirits, CPC spokeswoman Judith Kayser claims. J
"1985 will be a better year to be coming out of college than 1984/' she affirms. "We're ex-pecting the expansion to con-tinue. We think the slowdown is healthy, and theleconomy will begin to accelerate again at the beginning of 1985." J | "It's good newft" Victor Un-dquist, Northwestern Univer-sity's director of j placement exclaims. "It's almost like a return to the days of old. Like five years agof anyway."
"Recruitment! is definitely up," agrees Gerry Taneuf, the University of; Nebraska's career placement director. "It's not so much in the number of companies, but in the number of positions being offered." f * ft i W f The best opportunities exist in computer science, accoun-ting, andj electrical and mechanical engineering where hiring should increase seven percent,? the CPC survey shows. i "Small; business, will pro-vide expanding opportunities for liberal arts students," CPC's Kayser observes. "Almost all newf fobs in the last few years were created by small business, compared to the millions of jobs lost by Fortune 500 companies."

Can students still afford to! register?
College costs just can't be beat anymore. Another price increase will affect your wallets as winter term registra-
tion rolls around. i- i * The registration fee has jumped from $10 to $17.50. The
additional cost was printed in the winter term schedule which ^appeared on campus this week.
Many students may not have .been aware of the previous registration fee, so the additional $7.50 may be unnoticed.
While the additional cost may not be astronomical, the situation must be examined from an overall perspective. In these terms, students are paying an extra $15 to register. £ h ^
Students who are trying to make ends meet are en-countering another expense. In addition to purchasing books each term and paying tuition, students are now faced with paying more money to register. This becomes a burden for those students striving for? financial independence. -.The extra $15 is a burden to the students but it benefits
the registration process. The administration is concerned with. maintaining the computers so efficiency can be re-tained. Avoiding a price increase while at the same time maintaining efficiency are the two objectives which should have been exercised. i ' However,the students seem to be the ones paying for a
miscalculation in the college's budget. Financing Jhe registration process should have been accounted for prior to the academic year, not in the middle of it.
It was stated by the college president that the registra-tion fee may be adjusted in the future but students must still pay the additional fee this term.

MHEA to {benefit several majors By Brian Sheridan -
| At new organization has been initiated at the college to
benefit students of several majors.
The Mercyhurst Home Economics Assoc ia t i on (MHEA) is one of£ many new c h a p t e r s ^ o r g a n i z e d throughout the state and nationwide.
Jamie Yule, director of {the Human Ecology Department, will servers faculty advisor for the local chapter. Students elected as ^officers of the MHEA chapter are Mary Lan-ding president; Brooke Buzard, vice-president; Diane Andrews, secretary-treasurer and Anne Janosko, public relations.
The! club is designed to assist majors in the fields of dietetics, interior design, fashion merchandising, and human ecology and give them an opportunity to explore career options in their fields.
cyhurst was one of six schools that attended.
The workshop featured 5 a ineup of professionals who in-

formed the students about how to break into the 'com-petitive field of £ modeling, fashion design, and other related fields. The workshop dealt with such topics las "Professional Appearance", Writing Resumes",* and a
"It also gives us an idea about what is going on In each of our fields." I .4
Recently, the group attend-ed a workshop at Immaculata Collegef'in Philadelphia, Penn-sylvania. It was for the chapters in the area, and Mer-
"Professional Speaking". The Mercyhurst students also ex-changed ideas with other HEA members. $ %
The officers have planned many other? trips for its members. "We want to attend another workshop in Reading, Pennsylvania," Janosko said. "The National Convention will be held in ; Philadelphia in June. We plan to attend that as well," she added. f
Here on campus, the MHEA plans to bring in speakers. The organization is also planning
a trip to New York City during Easter. ? §? The club meets every Tues-day from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Sewing Lab located on the first floor of Zurn Hall/
"We encourage anyone to j o i n . It would be very beneficial {to them. We'll work together, and we hope we can take more people down to the next convention," Janosko concluded.

Model U.N. trip planned By Mary Frances Loncharic The National Model U.N.
Conference will be held at Har-vard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from February 24-27th. f£ |
Pat Reed, Chairman of the Government Relations Com-mittee, would like to organize a group of eight students to at-tend. However, Reed has en-countered difficulty raising funds for the trip. 1
The costjfor eight students would be approximately $1,886, This cost covers room, board, transportation, registra-tion, and delegation. To sup-plement the costs, Reed would like to acquire an»* Academic Enrichment Grant. He said he will approach the administration regarding this grant as a source of funding.
According to Pat Songer, student ^government presi-dent, "the student govern-ment funds are limited, but we can supplement their funds for the trip?'
Last year four students at-* tended a$ conference in Cleveland. They represented the country of Guatemala. David Robinson substituted as an United Kingdom represen-tative when students from another school failed to ap-pear. Robinson won an award for Mercyhurst's* Model U.N. last year. £ Reed said, "I don't know what country we^wuuHW Uel representingifthis* year.*We would like to try for a country in Central America or the Mid-dle East." Reed said they would also like to represent either China or France.
At thispime, six students have indicated that they are interested in attending the conference this year.

Laker Shakers:; Dancing into By Lynne Martin -
The -Mercyhurst drill team, the "Laker Shakers", are back and better than ever! Captain of the squad Natalie Raltano, and the team's coach Leslie Cuva have high hopes for the 1984-85 season.
Raltano said, "The girls have been working hard and putting in a lot of time and energy to make us look sharp."
Eleven girls will be perform-ing this year. They include: Dee< Mitchell, Connie Loesla, Nancy^ Dennstadt, Elizabeth Altilio, Janey Colby, Melissa Rhelan, Terrl ? Piano, f Kathy Dee, Lisa? Armstrong, Kathy Kunkel (co-captain), and Natalie Raitano.
f* The Laker Shakers will be performing at every home game after January 9th. Cuva said the Laker Shakers got a late start and, therefore, will not be ready to perform prior to January.
At this time, the girls prac-tice! three days a week and also take a jazz class. In the future, Cuva will require the team to practice five times a week.
?Right now, one of the main concerns of the Laker Shakers Is to raise money for the pur-chase of new uniforms. They are presently selling candy bars to defray the cost, f ^Ra i tano feels that the Shakers "represent a way to support the school and the
the basketball team...like cheerleaders."
The Laker Shakers' captain feels that the Laker Shakers are out there to "psyche up the crowd". She feels that "all the girls are really serious about thelLaker Shakers this year. We're going to do our best to represent the school in a positive way." K Later in the season, the team will represent the = col-lege at the Civic Center when Mercyhurst takes on Gannon.
So with poms-poms in hand, we can look forward to the Laker 'Shakers dancing to such hits as "Tor ture" , "Physical Attraction", knd "I Feel For You".?

By Karl Beth Kipf |-It's the busiest time of the
y e a r f o r A d m i s s i o n s Counselors Tom Dore, Mary Collins, and Elisa Goserud. Lately they have spent long hours on the road recruiting prospective students. p
Starting in mid-September, the three counselors spend most of their time away from campus, l meeting with students through high school guidance counselors and at-tending College Fair Nights.
They can rarely be found in their offices during the fall; they will most likely be found traveling around the tri-state area, focusing on such "target cities" as Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and also surroun-ding communities. ' j .
"A buyer's market," is how C o u n s e l o r Tom D o r e describes today's! college recruiting field. Dore ^ex-presses his view about the phenomenal ^change in the strategies and responsibilities of admissions recruiters. "Previously'}, the admissions
d e p a r t m e n t served a gatekeeper function, preview-ing applications and deciding who to accept." 5Today, however, the admis-
sions department has a much more challenging job. Since there are increasingly fewer students, colleges must com-pete against one another to of-fe r ; students thetjjbest academic and^ f inanc ia l assistance. The students benefitvfrom this because it allows them to be more selective. ,^|
While the counselors are not out on the road, they per-form? such duties as meeting with prospective students who visit the scnooiTanswerin^Tn^ quiries by phone and by mail, holding informational ses-s i o n s and r e c r u i t i n g receptions.
Overall, the admissions of-fice has the responsibility of giving students a good impres-sion offthe collegefand its friendly atmosphere. They also have a big influence in the decision of a high [ school senior. i 3i

Rostho'user commented, "They are working together and trying hard to play as a team." Rosthouser went on to explain, "There are a lot of women that play different styles of ball, and I'm trying to mold them into one." *
The team has a lot of depth and is exceptionally strong in the areas of guard and for-ward .^The key has been hard work and determination on everyone's part to have a good, strong team.
The Lady Lakers are on the road Wednesday nighty for a scrimmage in Sharon, Penn-sylvania. Rosthouser said, "This will ; determine where work is needed. Everyone will

Academic Ail-Americans? The Mercyhurst football

Volleyball season ends
By Greg Yoko • H The Mercyhurst Women's volleyball team closed its 1984 season last Thursday evening
with a straight-set victory over Geneva. | 1
Coach Elaine Ruggiero used her|entire available roster in defeating Geneva in three games: 16-14,15-14, and 15-13. "Everybody got a chance] to
play," relayed Ruggiero. "The match was like a homecoming for a lot of the players since it was held in Beaver Falls (PA). There was a lot of excitement and we played well to record the win." * *
Ruggiero's crew?wound up 1984 with a 22-18 overall mark, while finishing 4-2 in the Women's Keystone Con-ference. This placed them in a tie with Behrend. Grove City took the Conference title.

the Blue and Green's unsung hero's in 1984 as the Lakers offenive guard. An Egan scholar, Armstrong majors in Political Science. f %
DeSanto captained the Lady Lakers to a 22-18 slate, in this, her juniorjyear. She concen-trates her studies on Biology.
Another Biology major on this year's list, is linebacker Don Gibbon. Against |A If red last week. Gibbon set a Hurst redord by matoto^ 2&ia<sikles*i
^ Noseguard Mike Hanes is yet another Laker gridder to be
nominated. He has* been amazing on the field and has cont inued this in .^he classroom. Hanes carries a tri-ple major in Art, Art Therapy, and Art Education.! i
Tim Ruth, Mercyhurst's all-timefleadig rusher, is also a Petroleum Geology major. HJs efforts fn the classroom almost overshadow his ac-complishments on the field.g^
Last, but certainly not least, is Laker receiver Craig Zonna. A Fashion Merchandising ma-jor, Zonna is the holder of practically every Mercyhurst receiving record on the books.
Coach fTonyf DeMeo com-mented on the nominations. "Football helps give the disipline ito do well in the qlassrom. A student's goal is to get an education and play football, while having a good time and after four yearslsay I'd do it again' n.
Athletic Director Len Cyter-ski echoed DeMeo, "I'm ex-tremely | proud of the jseven students that received the Academic Ail-American Honors, these honors will re-main part of their permanent life. Ten years from now all the passes and touchdowns will begfQrgotten, but what they learned in the classroom and from each otheftwill stay with them." |£F
