Ahhh, Sle ep .. . - BrianL'Huillier, left, Alda Walker andDiane Zorn take a much deserved rest stop inbetween dance numbers at the Fourth Annual CEC Dance Marathon which took place all last weekend.Annual Dance 1 MarathonA Hit Fourth!Year Rowby Vicki Martinago j p B ^ ^ ? ^ ^ - ^ ^ * . - v ^ " ^^ Despite the discomforting aches of tired feetand swollen knees, 19 dancers boogied, discoed,twist and turned to the final songs of the 48-hourdance marathon. ~ ~The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC)sponsored the twoday event last weekend, thefourth in as many years, with the 'Hurst community, high school students and Erie arearesidents uniting their efforts to raise over $2800for exceptional children of Erie County.An estimated 40 people signed up for the contest, with less than half dropping out before therequired 48 hours. * $tThe money raised from the marathon willbenefit organizations in the Erie area and willenable CEC to sponsor activities the likes of aTMR (Trainable Mentally Retarded) Dance and"A Day in the Sun" for handicapped children thissummer. *^Anne Chimenti, Junior English-Educationmajor, commented on one of the highs of themarathon. "Exceptional adults from a grouphome danced Friday night. It was importantbecause that's what we'd been dancing for. I

kept thinking about that when I felt I couldn'tdance anymore." ?Many dancers agreed that they continued dan

cing in order to help the exceptional child. 3 8 1"I've been fortunate and a lot of others haven'tbeen. I wanted to do it because of that," explained Kevin Kane, junior accounting major,when asked what kept him going for 48 hours."Of course," he added with a laugh, "I leanedagainst the pole a lot." i > IBrian L 'Huillier, senior HRM major and dancer for four years, stated his personal reasonsfor joining the marathon. "I love to dance. Andthe kids the money goes to makes: it verymeaningful to me. I'm capable of doing it, so it'sthe least I can do." * * $7But the marathon doesn't consist only of thedancers; m uch work is done by CEC members,r CEC worker Sue Datz explained the variousjobs of the studentswho volunteered to work themarathon. "We were here to rub their calves,toes, shoulders and to get the food ready for allthe breaks. But most of all we provided moralsupport." TO jfc&| 5 JL'Huillier stressed the importance of the CECworkers who supported the dancers by keepingthem mentally able to go on. "Because it's all upin the head if you're going to make it or not," hesaid. rSi * I. Other I 'Hurst volunteers attending themarathon included administration and faculty.(continued on page 4) s

M SG Reps, Officers IEye New Philo sophyA new philosophy I was introduced to the MSG governingbody that encourages stands onsocial Issues affecting students,promotion of the college, leadership skills, positive brainstorming" and student involvementvMSG officers and representatives did a lot of backgroundwork on the subject. J , *;During intersession, they attended a day-long workshopconducted by Dr. Jean Lavin,associate professor of business.This past weekend MSG officersattended another workshop inHarrisburg with many Pennsylvania private and ' statecolleges.Many representatives believethese experiences!- werebeneficial to the productivenessof the body as a group. Others feltthat the workshops . hav eproduced many ideas in order tode-emphasize the iapathy thatexists on campus. JgMSG President Mike Hellerstated, "I don't think we have asmuch apathy as we haveprojected." He explained that

just because students aren'texactly what one wants them tobe doesn't make them apathetic.Heller *added, "There aref. nohuge issues for us to unite." Heexplained that "we don't have thestudent rights issues associatedwith state schools or the dissentofwar that the 60's experienced.""I met a lot of people from a lotof schools with a lot of problems.We are definitely a personalschool," he added.Many representatives felt thegovernment should focus on anissue that affects the students inorder to unite together to fight forsomething all students value.Ideas included world Hunger andthe Energy Crisis. * :.The workshop also highlightedthe fact that the 'Hurst has arelatively low student-;activitiesfee of $35. Only one other collegeattending the workshop had acomparable fee, that of $80. Theothers were exceedingly higher.MSG officers plan to researchinto the necessity of raising thepresent fee . ?.The only old business discussedat Uie meeting dealt^ with theyearbook report.-

LayoffsEffectiveIn June

by Sue Fats * &In an effort to relieve the present budget deficit, Mercyhurst announced a series of administrative and academic layoffs that are expected to save the college an extra $261,000 for the next fiscal year.Effective in June 1979, the equivalent of 14 and a half fulltime facultypositions will be eliminated, according to Dr. John J. Millar, dean ofthe college and vice president of academic se rvices.Millar stressed that "many parttime positions will be eliminatedand that the number 14 does not represent the true number of positionsthat were closed out.": v The actual number of faculty released or the departments effectedwas not available.;'; The planned layoffs will save the college approximately $151,000 insalaries over the next school year."No major programs were discontinued," assured Millar. 'Therewill be a decrease in course offerings and class sizes could be larger insome areas." sHe noted that the positions would be brought back as needed if thebudget improves over the next year.Adjustments will be made by transferring teachers, making jointappointments and combining programs. \ '\A similar cut was made in the administration with the elimination of'jobs totaling $100,000 in salary payments. Another $10,000 was cutfrom administrative programs. $ . "People understood what was g oingtohappen," said Millar.After the preliminary figures in the mil showed a serious deficit inthe budget, all division chairpersons were asked to study theminimum requirements for their departments and make recommendations for budret cutbacks. % t"I think we had a tough fall," Millar indicated. "I don't think it'sgoingtoget much worse." j2 *He added that he was impressed with the work of the division chairpersons andall those involved in the decision making process."I was especially impressed with the way Sr. Matthew (then interimdean) dealt with the situation," he said "Now we can get down tobeing a college-and that's funl"^ I
