    PAGE 2 THE MERCIAD FEBRUARY 9,1979

    College Commentary . ? "Merciad Faculty Advisor Bill Shelley brought to my attentionthat I neglected to mention why this paper was running a three partseries on the financial problems of private colleges which began inlast week's issue. | f "MThe main reason for doing so stems from the fact that Mer-cyhurst can identify with the shaky future the "Time" piece depicted. The 'Hurst might not be as bad off as some of the colleges mentioned in the article, but its relationship to those feeling the burdennow is too strong to be ignored. ? i * j *It's unfortunate that we can do little to help secure t his college'sfuture. The fact that institutions with endowments coming out oftheir ears are feeling pain now isn't reassuring either. The futurelooks dim - but what do we care, w e'll be long gone before anythingreally serious happens-right?J | .$ | i . ' JWe post-war baby boom memb ers may be luckier than we couldever imagine - at least we had a shot at the college of ourcho ice . . . * Sp fWhile on the subject ofprivate colleges, last week this onecelebrated its tenth anniversary of going co-ed. Yep..1969 was theyear the'Hurst traded pa ent leather shoes for sneakers. i *-The event didn't pass by unnoticed. The Erie Times, WJET radio,even WSEE television reported it before - or on or about - it was official. But the Merciad didn't. 3g | fWe take the opportunity with this issue, then, to report the anniversary. It sure would have been nice if we were informed beforelast w eek's issue went to press of the upcoming event - then wecould have reported it to the community before it happened - not af-3ter the fact. We're not the Erie Times (who do I thank for that ?),but we do a first-rate job of reporting the news of the college community . . . * J M3K2 I IAnd speaking of public relations, the college's new PR jingleheard on radio, which, incidentally, has incorporated the news ofthe anniversary, has got to go. The music featured with the commercial is tacky - it leaves me with the feeling that a person canmajor in vaudeville here. But the clincher involves a poor choice ofwords in the ad - having to do with "change of life" and "attractingyoung me n" - sounds like Lily Tomlin groping for John Travolta.The jingle is up to i par with those lifeless "Ronco" commercials .- tffw * if. _._ ^J^___^^_P* In the war against winter, parking an automobile in the Big*Weber lot can be a losing battle. My life starts to flash before myeyes every time I have to coast down that steep hill and make that!sharp turn to get to the stop sign. It's one of life's little h assle thatfjbums me out each time I'm left with no other choice but to parkgthere f I flip E K t * i 1 ^ I IGlad to report that nearly 400 'Hurst hedonists climbed out oftheir burrows to attend the Ground Hog Party at the Polish Falcons *last w eekend. ? 1 irtf ?&* S j ' ' 'eK&a"^ L ">*S^8j Feature Editor Vicki Martinago told me tha t the get-together ser- jved as a great way to better commuter and on-campus student gjrelationships - from freshmen to seniors.

    Co r responde nee.I.j SS|P Pi^^1mWhat about Academics?Dear Editor, >'* ^ * Y ^By reading the past four issuesof the Merciad, one might readilyassume (bat the most prevalentconcerns of Mercyhurst revolvearound ath let ic scholarships,student apathy and beer parties.These "imports" may'be valid,and most certainly do existwithin the community, but this isnot to say that they are the m osturgent, nonetheless J importantconcerns on campus, sti > '&I sympathize fully with thefemale's argument aboutunequal scholarship distributionin athletics, and yet, I can alsounderstand the college's, intentions in trying to attract moremales to Mercynurst. No doubt,the college is making a laudableeffort in seeking to reward thevarious talents of our culture,such as in sports and the arts. Butwho is to say that one must be abasketball center or tennis playerin order to receive a full orpartial scholarship? i?i&$3J&

    Surely our education systemthrives on more than a winningathletic record. College containsmany aspects in which to accredit ^excellence. ,_andjLone of[those areas - believe it or nof^lsacademics. I S F *The Egan Scholars - hardly tobe confused with a RhodesScholar from j? Oxford butnevertheless, a boost in academiccredibility|- is a* Mercyhurstprogram unique to small liberalarts colleges. It{-is an enrichedprogram offering scholarships tothose in high academic standings. Also, Mercyhurst hasinitiated a *gi PresidentialScholarship program, whichoffers two full tuition scholarships to the winners of a competitive exam. |? j ] So, it is evident * that jMer-cyhurst is fighting to put moreemphasis on the academic importance of college, but * thestudents* don't, seem tdj beresponding. Which brings us to

    another * problem! - studentapathy. M fljff | MIt is commendable that suchconcern has arisen over the lackof student interest, bujjhe apathysubject deals only With studentinvolvement in social activities.And what's worse, one studenteven wrote a letter to the editorexplaining that :a contributingfactor to this apathy is the curtailment of beer parties (not" v to sound like parties aremore important S thanacademics..", of course.)Perhaps if Mercyhurst wouldbegin to take college a little moreseriously, a unity would formwithin the institution and thesocial aspect would simply fallinto place. fBL \ *It is neither the fault of theMerciad, nor the college itselfthat the focus has not been in theacademic area. The studentsneed to "get! their headstogether" and put ^academicsback "in the know."! $g& (Name withheld upon request)

    'Aggressive ProgramSought By Drellerby JoAnn Alexandery The Adulte Education Office,under the direction of Dr. G eraldDreller and Sister Mary AliceSchultz, offers a new trend ineducation by providing specialinterest and academic coursesfor the part and fulltime student.Dreller hopes to add a new,dimension* to th e co llege byproviding "an aggress iveadult continuing educationprogram." i f $According to Dreller, whorecieved his Ph. D. in BrazilianLiterature from the University ofIllinois, the Adult EducationOfflee is moving on three fronts:special interest non-creditcourses, credit programs .andprograms taking the college tobusinesses and industries.

    "The non credit courses rangeanyhere from bird watching(sponsored by the Presque IsleAudobon Society) gto wine-making, given at workingwineries, to disco dancing"

    Dreller indicated. In all, thirty-five special interest courses willbe offered spring term. "The credit program involvesweekend col lege/ ' Drel lers tated; "This program wil lsatisfy the expressed -needs ofstudents in the community whowork and feel the best time forthem to study is on the weekend.It deals prim arily with courses inthe Business Division and liberalstudies courses offered to fulfill

    the L.S. core. In our planning,with the support of Dean Millar,students can earn a degree justby going weekends."The third goal of the AdultEducation Office deals uithbusinesses and industries int e rms of 1 designings specificcourses for their needs. "TheAdult Continuing EducationOffice," according to Dreller, "isstressing that learning does notstop when one leaves school. It isa life-long process." He added,"Our,programs are specificallydes igned to meet changingsocietal needs."Dreller stated that he isanxious to gain input frompresent Mercyhurs t s tudents .Realizing the diverse populationat Mercyhurst, there are somepeople who have skills that otherswould like to mas ter.

Vincent in overtime75-72. I *....-.* IEven though the entire contest was close, lackluster stretches ofplay existed in both halves - neither team could mount a consistent offense^ V vBill Link's bucket at the halfway buzzer was responsible for theLakers matching the Latrobe team at 37 points. And at the end ofregulation both squads remained deadlocked at 67 apiece.In overtime, the "Iceman", Bob Blackwell - known for putting theicing on the cake - came through with a big basket and a key defensiveplay: drawingan offensive foul to help close th e door o n the Bearcats.Sherrad Bennard fouled out with a minute left in regulation butnevertheless lead the L aker scoring with 20 points - on 70 per centshooting. Bruce Hennings had Id points and Link hit for 15. All threeare experiencing an outstanding year in an attemp t to lead the Lakersto the District 18 playoffs.

    As the Merciad went to press, it w as reported that the Lakers lostthe contest against Pitt-Johnstown 91- 76 - their playoff hopes appearnow to be doubtful.

    interviewed said they were tryingto channel all*their emotiontoward 4that game. Still, theGannon encounter was in* theback of their minds and basicallythey were looking forward toplaying against Fox. *'.

    Both Bill Link and DickBrickell acknowledged theirrespect of Fox with Brickelladding that "it should be a veryintense game." -Laker sharpshooter Danny"Downtown" Brown said, "I'vebeen wafting for this game allyear and want to beat Fox realbad because he left us. I want toshow him that he left somethingfor nothing." ";

    yea r "I want to show Fox I canplay," he added, ' v " \ , - 'f'^Greg Kurt, with a slight grin,commented that "It will be a lotof fun." Both Kurt and Clarkagreed that the game will beintense and because of Fox'spresence they will be even moreinspiredAssistant Coach Steve Huefnerfelt that^the game will carrylidded prestige and said he wantsvery much to put a damper in theGolden Knight's season."Gannon has t o w i n because theyare supposed to be a strongerteam," he added, "but they'llhave to play very well to beat us.It will be exciting."

    Bruce Hennings, not wanting tolook right 'over the Pitt -Johnstown game, casually said,"We'll take them one at a time.""The revenge7, thing isdefinitely going to be yiere,"saidJim McElrath. "Revenge nottoward Fox - but our downtownrivais. We can't help but getpsyched."Jamestown C.C. transferSherrad Bennard admitted that

    O'Connor seems to be takingthe game less seriously. "Itmeans more to the college, thelocal news media and the Eriecommunity than to m e," he said.However, he did comment onthe opposing coach: "Knowingthe man (Fox) and how he functions gives us L a i tremendousadvantage." " " "*"Fox will have something forus and we'll have something a
