How theyfind him and what they persuade him to do is the body ofthe story.Divided fby its subject matterinto two acts, the first! act concerns the founding of CloudCuckooland and its triumph overthe Olympian gods and contains

The office of Student Government President is the highestand m ost responsible on our campus. In the recent election,there was no campaigninguntil the day before the finalvoting no one knew the proposed platforms of the candidates,few knew their qualifications, and some knew only the candidates* names. f 1Verbal campaigning the only kind now; permittedsimply cannot do the job. Agreed, the "personal touch'' ismore effective, but how many girls can each candidate, and/orher campaign manager, reach? For they are the only oneswho do campaign actively.It is a physical impossibility to contact even the majorityof the students. Unless a girl has sat next|to a candidate inclass, seen her downtown in knee socks, or borrowed cokemoney from her, it is highly unlikely that she knows anything more about the candidate than her name.The Merciad, therefore, suggests an active electioncampaign, with all that fit implies: posters, badges, rallies,slogans, and songs. It suggests participation in the campaigning by all the students, not just the candidates and theircampaign managers. Finally, it suggests the scheduling ofthe candidates' speeches so that the student body canihaveenough time to decide who to elect and why.M.F.

to take over the yearbook editorship in the fall.Item: How about this?

By Evie McLean

Paper Wins "First fYour editors would like to pre

sent the standards used by theAssociated Collegiate Press inin awarding the Merciad a First-Class rating for the issues published during the first semesterof this school year.Thus we give you some of thejudge's criticisms, without including editorial comment:"You have a tendency to overplay 'social' news."(regarding faculty and alumni news ) "These two areas arenot covered well enough.""Your arts and drama arewell covered; are yon missingother groups?"(concerning the fthree-picturestory of the Harvest MoonBall) "Excellent photo feature idea, but pics not up tosnuff." t

Out ReadersComment...Dear Editor:Since the Merciad is a student endeavor, we feelthat i t shoulds reflect more fully the attitudes andinterests of the student body.Although the paper does fulfill the importantfunction of cultural and intellectual!stimulation, itlacks sufficient popular appeal. Perhaps some newfeatures could be initiated, such as:l.j Engagement announcements2. Series of articles on what recent graduates arenow | doing3. Relevent (sic) cartoons4. Roving,; reporter who would poll studen t opinion. on current event or campus issues.

Sincerely,Linda Scholl\ ' Mary Ka y NashwinterEd. note: The Merciad prints any literate andresponsible student opinion which It receives.

Unfortunately, there is little response from thestuden t body. Remember Feb ruary's ! futile appeal for letters? * *Dear Editor:Give up campaigning for the Green Stamp Bus?I should say not!! The sophomores have starteda project in order to spur on enthusiasm for its success.Before Easter, the class went on a Green StampScavenger Hunt In an effort to collect stamps fromthose "Erie-ites" living in the vicinity of the college. Our door-to-door stamp hunt resulted in thecollection of over 35 books.Because of its success, the class is planning tosponsor another scavenger hunt on Sunday, May-.'5,from 1:30-4:30. We would like to invite the wholestudent body to take part. This is a chance for everyone to bring in at least VMbooksand even more.Glnny Hammer

My dear Mr. John Timon,Your article "Why the IrishDon't Marry," which recently appeared in The Scutcheon, is perceptive and ^well-presented. Bu t|it is, in myopinion, 1 n-valid: the argument is outdated.!Your conclu-

I slon, " U n l e s ssomething * is donelto re-educatethe people, unless the economy ismodernized, and! unless the bestpart of the race is persuaded tostay at home, Ireland, in the nexthundred years, will cease to ex ist,"sounds like the cries of the Irish"49ers" who advocated steps toward these very reforms.Certainly, Ireland is not stablein many social, economical, andpolitical respects, but your viewsdo not typify the modern Ireland.That the Irish need to be re educated is I no mystery to thepeople. Increased university enrollment of country and citypeople, plans for technical schools,and cities' new employment opportunities for country girlsprove that contemporary Irelandis re-educating itself socially andacademically.This re-education also contributes to economic stability.Last year every pub and parkbench buzzed with the pros andcons of th e Common Market,testifying to the individual in

terest! n national questions.The optimistic outlook is further supported by the healthyawareness off he problem by theuniversity graduates. A largenumber of them are staying "athome" to establish more progressive and up -to-d ate professionaland industrial standards. Thiseconomic improvement will continue to influence the social maturity of the Irish even more.The exaggerated descriptions ofpuritanical, Jpriest-ridden Ireland,Is the last point I dispute. Youstate, "Romance and marriage arefrowned upon by society," and"In rural areas especially, littleis done to encourage meetings between the sexes." I find it hardto reconcile these remarks withmy fond memories of the parish-sponsored "ceilis" in the city andru ral ! areas, th e pa rks filled withyoung "steadies," the many girlsat the university engaged to menunder thir ty!

May I end my refutation, then,by saying that Ireland is not avanishing nation; it is a J reawakened land ^searching for social, economic, and political definition.I enjoyed your article, Mr.Timon, fbut I'm afraidfyou, likethe Irish, are a little late.I note: Miss McLean bases herarguments on actual experiencegained from living, studying,and traveling l n| Ireland 1 lastyear .

Editors Urge ImprovementIn Cul tura l Ser ies Plan

The basic aim of Mercyhurst College is to form Christianwomen. We know that a personality is not formed merely byclass work; it must also be developed culturally.For this reason, the cultural series presents artists andspeakers to fulfill the needs of the students. The entertainment is varied|to suit different personalities and interests.However, this year there has been fa noted increase inthe amount of work expected from each student. The culturalprogram, too, has been expanded, so that at times there havebeen two or more programs scheduled within the same week.Although we are aware of the advantages of these programs,it is almost impossible to attend two or three lectures a weekand still fulfill our duties as students, fThere is nothing to be gained by having performers playfor an almost empty theater.jThis is embarrassing for boththe entertainer andjthe few people in attendance. Outsiderswho are present receive a poor impression of the intellectualatmosphere of the college. | JTTie cultural committee spends, many *hours planning theseries of lectures and programs but the few students that

attend them are little reward for these efforts.We hope]that next year the series will be planned to include fewer performers and that there will be no programsscheduled during the week before and after vacations. We feelthat these suggestions will enable each girl to fulfill her obligations as a student while participating more fully in thecultural series. S. S.Published Monthly

Aristophanes' T h e Birds''StrikesContemporary No teBy Anne Marie McCarthy"Truly to be clad in feathers Iis the very best of things." Suchis the conclusion of Aristophanes comedy, The Birds, whichMay by thehave been

will be presented inGreensleeve Players.The satire could}writ ten last month and be running on Broadway now, so contemporary are the issues ittreats. Social vices, democracy,external ritualistic religion, themodern poet who values obscurity as a virtue in itself, the businessman, and the drama are al lat tacked.

Modern Impact*Th e fBirds has a tremendousimpact on modern man for tworeasons. First, Aristophanes dealtwith a universal thememan'sdesire to escape from civilization.Modern man, in his quest forfreedom, has merely substitutedspace ships for wings. The secondreason is the modern stage version by Walter Kerr that thePlayers are using.Mr. Kerr has updated the political! satire in order to makethe play sound to today's audience as it sounded to an Athenianin the fifth century B.C. For example, at times the speech resembles the Kennedy twang; andone ofI the gods is revealed asCastro.

Farcical ElementsThe physical action that ac

companies, among otherscenesthe building of the bird Utopia,Cloud Cuckooland | results in theclassification of The Birds as afarce. Thus it must be seen tobe thoroughly | appreciated. Thesubtlety of the satire comesthrough the5 lines, but the broadcomedy of the action appeals tothe eye.This comic action is producedin p art by the stage devices. Thegods descend from heaven via ahuge sliding board. Informal remarks concerning missed cues andlost props ("Somebody was supposed to hand me the crown.")are made by jthe actors.

Audience ParticipationUnique audience involvementalso produces much \humor. Fo rexample, the Leader of the Birds,after pledging to uphold as t ruce,says, "and if I break my word(glancing directly out front) may the audience speak unkindlyof me in the lobby." In th eMercyhurst production, w i n g swill be handed out to the-spectators, creating audience participation.

Cloud Cuckooland declares waron men and gods J and it is herethat the satire reaches its {height.The bird Utopia triumphs overearth | and Olympus and, in thecourse of the victory, exposes thefoibles of mankind and the absurdities of the Athenian pantheon of gods.'

You probablyheard it at the Mission-sponsored Faculty vs. Students volleyball gamelast April 2.In fact, you probably heard many a memorable comment underthe enthusiastic din that accompanied the faculty's lucky winningstreak. A few other choice tmumbles t h a t reached! the ears of the

Merciad reporter w ere: from a girl adjusting ! her glasses"Is thatFather Biebel?"; from a rather later arrival"What are they playingvolleyball?"; from a would-be test shirker"I wonder if we all toldhim how well he played, he wouldn't give us a test!"; from the studentsupporters"We want Garvey! We want Garvey!"After the crushing blow \ was9 dealt, interesting (!?) reflectionsslipped J out from elated faculty and somewhat deflated students.Mr. Seess: "Lenient, I'm crippled!""Moe" Cull inan: "What can I |say?"
