With this loan procedure the college or universi ty takes the en- tire amount of the student loan and utilizes it toward the first billi ng period.

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

*£"By James N. Kopchuk"Flush The Fashion", Alice

Cooper's guised attempt atpenetrating the* New wavemarket, inadvertently offendsthe music virtuoso. 5 J^*.titNoted for such albums as

Killers", "School's Out" andBillion Dollar Babies", Cooper

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

Angeles, engineer John Weaverdoes an exceptional jobremixinthe tapes at the Stirling SounStudios in New York City. I r

Hence, Cooper, in his haste toride upon the Pop Explosionbandwagon has produced analbum worthy of its name. §

Other tracks include: "LeatherBoo ts",! "Aspirin Damage","Nuclear Infected", "DanceY o urse l f To D ea th" a nd44 Headlines."1 m f^ c P S a

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* ^

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
