Student Union Receives ATuition?Fee Waiver Position
The Student Union has beengranted the equivalent of one fulltuition scholarship - $3,650 for stu-dent workers. According toDr.Garvey, Presidents of Mer-cyhurst College, "the union is inneed oi help." f& Faced with a small budget theunion has been unable to attractan adequate amount of help, he
explained. This lack of help ap-pears to be a major factor behindthe thefts which has been occurr-ing in the union at night, saidGarvey. $. .3•g "All the college is trying to dois help the union operate more ef-fectively," he stated. He doesn'tfeel more work-study moneywould solve the problem.
Yearbook Positions FilledChris Settlemire, junior com-
m u n i c a t i o n s major, andsophomore Kelly Meyer wereawarded the positions of Editorand/Business Manager of the|yearbook respectively. Set-tlemire and Meyer were inter-viewed by the Mercyhurst Stu-dent Government officers and E.

M.S.G. President Rich Lanzillonoted, "The first and foremostqualification for the jobs was thearive and desire to put out a goodyearbook and to be able to sellit." He also added that while look-ing- over- each appl icant ' s .

Lanzillo a ttributed the lack oforganization in past years to aninsufficient staff and a lack ofcommunication within the staffitself, j 2 M .
K "The yearbook really didn'thave their own office/' notedLanzillo, j "so it became lost
within the student Union, - f fe"To avoid such problems from
happening -again, some majorchanges have occurred," ex-plained Lanzillo. First the year-book has been given an office."The new office should help withthe organization and communica-tion within the staff," said Lan-zillo. "With the new office, thestaff has a place to meet."
Also, the establishment of ^ asemi-scholarship for the positionsof Editor and Business Managerwas approved by*M.S,G. Set-tlemire will receive a $500scholarship with Meyer receiving1300. The other staff positions andthe staff have yet to be chosen."I'm really excited about thisyear's yearbook," said Lanzillo.4A lot of people seem to want tobe

Joanne Cooper, director of theLRC said that the project, known
e TattJe-tape Electronic
ried out in three stages. The firststage, installing electronic con-trols on all doors other than themain entrance, was completed inJuly, s tated Cooper. 1 Thisautomatically locks all doorsunless there is a fire. \ j ?j*-During August, the secondstage was completed . Accordingto the director, 'magnetic tape
was inserted inv all books andperiodicals. When stage three iscompleted by the^end ofSeptember, entrance andfexitgates will be installed at the maindoors of?;the$kRC.£ These willsound an alarm if materials con-taining magnetic strips are notchecked out proper ly* saidCooper. \
The system is designed by the3M Corporation in St. Paul. Min-nesota and is being funded by agrant from the Erie CommunityFoundation. ;? John Nesbit, assistant to thepresident for government rela-tions, applied for the grant inDecember 1980. The Foundation,which awards grants to worthyprojects within the community,allotted over $13 thousand for theMercyhurst JTattle-tape project,said Nesbit. ^ ^ M_[r The turnstiles at the LRC en-trance cost approximately $11thousand. The remainder of thegrant funded a portion of the costfor the magnetic strips placed inthe library materials.
"It 's , really the only viablesystem/' said Joanne Cooper:Last year, she commented, eightpercent of the new books added tcthe library the year before werelost. £a[X "We lost an astounding amountof magazines," she added. J *pHWhen the system is completed,said Cooper, it will be about 85per cent fail-safe oagainst thetheft of library materials. .??

The first meeting of the 1961-82Mercyhurst Student Governmentbegan with the organization ofcommittees.,,Representatives at
L the meeting volunteered to headsum ™f!rrrnT!^^^r^^!W!wffGovernment Relations, ActivityDay, Neng dance would only beopen to juniors and seniors. JanGatti, director of the> StudentUnion explained, 'The Alumniwill be coming to this dance, theygive money to the school. It doesnot look good to have freshmenand sophomores that are not of
drinkingage."
She added thatsince "most juniors and seniorsare twenty-one, they will be per-mitted to go to the dance. In thelong run, we are helping Mer-cyhurst, hy receiving theAlumni's donations." A motionwas made and accepted to giveBukowskivthe $1,000 forHomecoming. > J
The next subject discussed wasthe survey taken last year of thevisitation hours. It was noticedthat a large ? majority of thestudents wanted the beginning ofvisitation hours^ 1 p.m. changedto 12 noon, A motion was madeand accepted to have furtherdiscussion on the subject.
It was announced that staff isbeing selected. Jan Gatti stated"They are in the process of selec-ting two students to head the
198-1982 yearbook staff."In addition, anyone interestedin being on the Senate is en-couraged by Rich Lanzillo to pickforms up from Mr. EdwardGallagher, Senate President.H The upcoming events for SACare: September 19, a bus will begoing to? the Duquesne-Lakerfootball game. Students can pur-chase tickets at the StudentUnion. The cost of the ickets are$4.00 for students and $5.00 foradults&For those who have rid-den the bus, game ickets will be$2.00. At the gate they are $3.50.
PHEAA Makes Mandate
Student %ocms$Now mm
Co-signed With CollegeAs of July 1, 1981 the Penn-sylvania Higher EducationAssistance Agency (PHEAA) ef-fected a mandatory practice inwhich bank-issued student loanchecks must be made out to boththe student and the college oruniversity. X
According to the student loanofficer at Marine Bank in Erie,prior to July 1 PHEAA had onlyrecommended that checks a re co-signed. The loan procedure waschanged because of "misuse offunds/-' said the loan officer.Often, she added, students wouldreceive their loan, register forclasses, but not pay their tuitionor attend college in order to keepthe low-interest loan£?g|jiiF ;
In assessing the new loan prac -tice, the bank officer stated, "Ilike it, it's a good way of handlingloans."
With this loan procedure thecollege or university takes the en-tire amount of the student loanand utilizes it toward the firstbilling period. If the loan amountexceeds the tuition paymentf thestudent may requisition a checkfor the remaining money.
The requisition process differsamong Mercyhurst and the otherarea colleges and universities:Gannon, Behrend, and -VillaMaria. * I ^
i At Mercyhurst, students cannotrequisition their remaining loan
funds until October 9,1981. Accor-ding to Sally Fyke of the Mer-cyhurst College Business Office,the reason for the wait is because
class registration forms must bin the business office as proothat the students are takinclasses. Fyke stated that^alcharges toa student and all fin acial aid information must be accounted for before a check can bissued to a student.
Each student is allowed one refund from the business office peteim, stated Fyke, therefore, nprovisions may be 2 made fstudents to receive early refunchecks in order to purchase fooor supplies not available at thcollege book store-^L-'f j
Books may be purchased at thstore with a book voucher issueby the business office, said FykeThere is, she added, a $100 limon the book voucher. .*

The Gannon source also statethat this is the first year their rfund system was handled thiway and it is more difficult thausing a system similar.to Meeyhurst's. Next year, added th

Editorial
Catch-221The check requisition system
for student loans at Mercyhurstrtakes three times longer than
every area college to complete.BN 6 matter I how plausible the
reasoning behind the delay, theoverextended period of time sgrossly inefficient to the needs ofthe students. *
?
Waiting' until a student Us
registered to give them backtheir loan money is understan-dable.:* If a student wasn'tregistered when she or he receiv-ed the money, the college and thestate would have no guaranteethat the money would be used foreducational expenses, defeatingthe purpose of the student loanprogram. However, the state loanprogram is designed for thestudents, who are entitled toreceive that money as soon aspossible, i *
This is especially true in thecase of the studentwho uses theloan for educational expensesbeyond those provided by the col-lege. For example, many timessupplies and books are cheaper inlocal shops than they are in theCampus Bookstore. But if the stu-dent has not received the loan
money, sheor he is unable to takeadvantage of these sav ings. Andwhat of the student who plans touse thai: money for food ratherthan paying board. Five weeks isa long time to go withoutgroceries. The "no provisions"policy at Mercyhurst creates acatch-22 for students in thesecircumstances. c<. i"r" There are solutions to this ob-vious problem Jhejate registry,Oort date'Could t>e moved earlier .,for instance.' Or perhaps a p olicywhich would deal with check re-quisitioning.'at an earlier datecould be developed. Either way,there must be some plan of actionto deal with the situation soonerand more effectively. And, as thearea colleges show, it can bedonejS?*^ I 3t iff 13

It was a p ractice in the earlychurch for all laymen to share inthe worship of Christ. Through anexaggerated feel of the sacra-ment, the laity w as removed fur-ther from the eucharist. Now theChristian :" community is par-

emerged from near seclusion toproduce the LP with content, but,with a lack of sincerity. -**
The album is sav ed, however,by one particular track titled"Clones. "I'm all alone, so are
we all. We're all clones. All areone and one are a ll." *a* At first hearing "Clones", it is
difficult recognizing Cooper'sdistinct use of mimicking ver-biage, but soon the artist isrevealed. * Backedk by a •shard-driving tempo, one realizes thereasoning behind it being on theplay-lists in most major markets.
The album hosts such,notedguitarists as Davey Johnstone,former guitar player for EltonJohn, and Fred Mandel. Othermusicians. include Dennis Con-way on drums and John LoPrestion bass. ^J1 '£•:^ The trump card which the
album holds lies in its recording.Originally recorded at theCherokee recording studio in Los

On A Harvard ExperienceEditor's Note: Bonnie James,Feature Editor of THE MER-CIAD and Mercyhurst StudentSenator, attended Harvard Sum-mer School these past two mon-ths. This is the first in a series ofcolumns where she will examine
the experiences she had in Cam-bridge and the new perceptionsshe gained from them.
Preparing to go to Harvard wasfor -me< the most exciting,suspenseful event of my careerHere I was, a to-be seniorEnglish/communications majorat Mercyhurst, embarking on anacademic, cultural and personaladventure that could change thedirection of my entire life. |j
I had applied to the summerschool in early March because Iwas still searching to find*myniche In life. At the time, I wasboth a full-time students withvarious extra-curricular respon-sibilities on campus, and a part-time employee with an advertis-ing agency. I was aware that mystrongest academic talents werein English;' I knew that advertis-ing
wasn 't enough forme in
life; Iknew that the work I wanted to dowithmy degree would mean com-peting in the toughest, mostcreative and «;most demandingaspects of my field; but I didn'tknow 'how qualified or>• howtalented I was in comparison tothe best of my collegues. So Ichose this summer to be thetesting grounds of my abilities towrite, think, create, interpret andsurvive Jji jhe . most acclaimedacademic atmospheres^ hadknownTThai ^as HarvardUniversity. * 1r ^ gP
It seems funny to me now thatabove all the things I had to ques-tion about my new environ-ment/excelling in ^classes, ad-justing to a big city, finding myway around i the university - Idoubted my ability to mix-in withother people the most. It seemed
illogical to me. IHow could *asmall-town girl from "Poland,Ohio intelligently converse with aseasoned intellectual £who hadprobably travelled Europe,studied at Oxford, and was now
living in Cambridge? 5 $ *My answer cam e neither quick-
ly nor quietly, but it was gratify-ing. I found through the acquain-tances of my roommates thatsome people > at the summerschool jcame -from s i mi l a rbackgrounds as I. A psych majorfrom Michigan and a pre-medmajor from Massachusetts bothset me at ease. My third room-.m a t e i l however, brought .achalleng in twist - a Spanish-speaking native from Santo Dom-ingo in dental school. The chanceto know her appealed to mebecause I had studied Spanish formany years. Natasha, however,was only mildly representative ofthose people I was about to meetwhose% backgrounds were ge-nuinely foreign to mine. w $
The people I met in my courseswere exceptional. «\ They wereb r i l l i a n t , - . w o r l d l y , a f -fluent . ;. . and all older than I. Inmy:class entitled "Writing 3orFilm", fifteen students fromBerkeley in California to Nairobiconglomerated together to share
ideas and critique each other'swork, My peers consisted of a girlwho grew up bilingual in Braziland was now living in Boston; anEnglish graduate from Berkeleywho had read screenplays forParamount P ictures as a co-op, a1981 Harvard grad uate who spokefluent German and was headedfor film shcool in Germany; a girlwho held a B.A. in art history andan M.A. in communications whohad worked for two years as anar t critic in New York . . . the listappears endless. But besidesthese 'people; ha ving» qualifica-tions that
: look impressive onpaper, they proved to be witty,personable, insightful, assertiveand quick. '.jj $••One of the most astounding
truths about Cambridge is that it'truly is the international intellec-tual center of the world. Becauseof Harvard and the numerous artfacilities in Boston, intellectuallyand artistically talented peoplefrom across the globe flock there.Therefore lin Cambridge, ac-complishments and resumes of
the calibre I previously mention-ed w ere merely commonplace^ Ifone writes \ in Cambridge orBoston (ie: poetry, criticalworks, history) it is only natu ralthat one also publishes. The bigjoke at Harvard (at least in theEnglish sect) is that "anyone canget published in Cambridge."Considering toe status of Har-vard University Press, I highlydoubt it. | 4 MJ , :i
iKfiH'u%l cavel. fi "*n hei .jHfe,urynakenTbirgranted in CamTbridge. "Re ally now, everyonehas been' to Europe at leasttwice!" Is "a rather naturalresponse. Perhaps Israel and theIvory Coast are a bifcof an ex-travagance, but Europe is nearlya second home. -• : ?
What kind of climate do allthese attitudes mold in a city?
They form an atmosphere thatsimply reeks of the idea "theworld is open to you." No artistictalent, be it ballet, music orvisual art forms, is squelchedbecause (as .'my. home townneighbors would sayK*"yoifllnever make any money doingTHAT." Neither is any bright,ambitious young person •• everdiscouraged from going intothose academically stimulatingbut "impractical" fields such ash i s to ry , Eng l i sh , fo re i gnlanguag e,! psychology, ^e tc .Because the people at Harvardhave been around enough to knowthe value of those kinds ofstudies, and therefore the worthof the people who indulge inthem. I A. <*
Finally, (you may be asking),how did the little girl fromPoland, Ohio fare with herclassmates? Well, I had to fight,at first, to rise up to the status oftheir work. The interesting thingwas, though, that their worldlyexperiences helped rather thanhindered me in the progression ofmy i work, because they werebroad-minded enough not toscorn a mid-westerner. I thoughtthat by spendin g! some outsidetime with them and followingtheir works' examples that f

Residence HaUsjjMore|i l ian JusfcDormitories
MSIfe By Mary J o AllenS**3£L^
There are no dormitories|atMercyh urst College. Dorm itory
is derived from the French verb"dormir'' meaning "to sleep."We at the 'Hurst have more thanthat. Housing director JPhyllisAiel lo explained we haveresidence halls, "a place wherethere are friends." •* >?+•
This sentiment must be sharedby many students. Baldwin,
Egan and McAuley are nearlyfilled and not only by freshmenand transfer students. Many up-perclassmen elected to remain in
the residence halls rather thanthe on-campus housing. But thequestion-remains, why do somany students choose to live inresidence halls, some until theygraduate?- 1
McAuley Hall is the co-ed hallon campus. With room for 144residents, 23 per cent of them are

Paul urDanowrczf one op memost distinctive students tograduate from Mercyhurst inBusiness Administration, is nowworking as a graduate assistantin the college's Little Theatre.
Paul graduated from the 'Hurstin 1981, and al though hegraduated, his goal in life is to
work in the theatre, f * '?Paul first became interested intheatre in his sophomore year atSherman Central High School inSherman, New York. His firstrole was in BRIGADOON as Mr.Lundy, a part which Paul ex-plained, "didn't entail much sing-ing, but gave me a pa rt in whichto act." ^ i ^ < s _ J•^Paul's next part was not untilhis senior year in high school.But when he entered Mercyhurst,he started right in working withthe theatre as a freshmen. ^

at Mercyhurst his biggest. Hewas involved in all MercyhurstTheatre productions includingMY THREE ANGELS, JAQUESBREL, and GUYS AND DOLLS.For these plays and others, Paulwas awarded the St. GenesisusTheatre Award for excellence inthea tre. This award waspresented to him at the seniorgraduation dinner. S
When asked how he rate s Mer-cyhurst Theatre, Paul replied,"This theatre is just as good if notbe t te r than o the r co l l egetheat res." He added, "We mayhave to dig and scrape to make ashow go, but we always produce aquality show." £ \ »
Igor Stalsky, head of thetheatre at Mercyhurst, has beenPaul's co-worker, friend and in-spiration. Stalsky has beenPaul's "shot in the arm." ~
Recently Paul auditioned forthe American Academy ofDramatic Arts in New York.Stalsky was there with him foreverything excluding the auditionwhich only the reviewing board ofthe school was allowed to watch.
"He is the best faculty mem berat Mercyhurst," commented Ur-banowicz about Stalsky. "He'sgotten me this far. He's been agood friend," Paul addedjj
Paul is still awaiting the deci-s i o n f r o m t h e A m e r i c a nAcademy of Dramatic Arts onwhether he has been accepted. Ifhe is accepted, he will spend twoyears there, after which he willdevote his life to Jan actingcare er. But Paul also noted, "Ifthings don't go as planned, I'llhave my major to fall back on."
Paul sounds very encouragedwhen he speaks about his future.Wherf asked what type of actinghe would prefer, his response was"I'll take it wherever lean get apiece of the ac tion." a |

Egan Lounge RenovationTo Bef Com pleted SoonfT"
Could the £ R.A have chosen anew title? Not quite, but E.R.E -Equal Rights for Egan - couldhave been the tide of the petitionpresented to Student GovernmentPresident Richard Lanzillo byEgan Hall residents last spring.
The petition was a request for theaddition of an all night lounge anddesk attend ant -to Ega n Hallwhich would be comparable tothose found in Baldwin andMcAuley. aft
"Although the lounge shouldhave been completed by the end
o f A u g u s t , i n c r e a s e dmaintenance work loads in otherareas prevented this," explainedE. William Kennedy, director ofstudent services.
However, Kennedy did seemconfident that the job will be
finished within two weeks.The site of the lounge is theroom next to the right of the EganHall/Cafeteria entrance. The fur-nishings will include a m ixture ofnew and used furniture, an arearug that was previously used inthe Back Porch Cafe, and new
curtains for the window lookinginto the cafeteria. Plans also in-clude the removal of a section ofthe side wall which will be replac-ed by a window. This window willenable the desk attendant to viewEgan's Front entrance.
Phyllis Aiello, director of hous-ing, said right now with all the re-painting going on she feels "like arat in a maze when I enter theEgan Hall/ Cafeteria entrance."
But she said she felt the delaywould be well worth it. fe* ^

FromTheBeanstalkTwo weeks ago the Mercyhurst
College football team openedtheir historic first season with animpressive victory over the St.John Fischer Cardinals. Tomor-row the 'Hurst continues theirseason as they meet DuquesneUniversity in what I consider oneof the most important battles ofthe initial se ason .' Word isspreading that the Lakers will becrushed by the powerful Du-quesne team which has alreadybeaten teams such as CarnegieMellon. True, Duquense has piledup nearly 90 points in their firs ttwo outings and held opponents toa mere 13 points, but rememberhow skeptical many people werewhen the 'Hurst first openedagainst St. John Fischer: we
were going to get killed and wewon 28-0. Let's not pass judgmentuntil after the game.
Speaking of passing judgment,after last weekend's perfor-mance on the soccer field the soc-cer team has come under fireabout; theAuse of questionablelanguage and bad on-field con-ducL^Whilethis does not suit the
JmageMflf thefcollege* tt must beremembered tharanything thatwas done on the field was done bypeople who were caught up in theheat of athletic involvement. Iam not condoning the behavior ofthe players but am saving thatweshouldn't pass judgment onanyone without being in theirshoes first. It should also be notedthat in the next game there wereno red cards and only 11 fouls
were committed.* gjIn sports action this week on
Saturday the football team meetsDuquesne and the soccer teamstravel to Behrend. On Tuesdaythe soccer team has a home gameagainst John Carroll and on Fri-day the women's Tennis teamopens their season against ThielCollege. I'd like to wish all thoseteams good luck in the comingweek. £-«. f
