VOL. XLV NO. 25 MERCYHURST COLLEGE APRIL 27,f19?3IBtumanD eve l o p m en tC e n t e r O p e n sb y S h a r o n W a r n e rCo-directors of Eric's firstHuman Development C enter, Mr.Ray Danielski and his wife,Diane^along with s evera l! community volunteers, are anticipating the program's success,which begins tonight, April! 27through June 18,

Mr . Ray DanielskiThe center which, Mr.Danielski said, "was stemmedfrom community interest" involves a series of workshops,lectures i and seminars directedtoward aiding the individual toknow more about himself.The program is designed tocompliment the traditionallearning process oil developingcognative skills. It transends thisin three areas:1. the center will attempt to explore what it means to thehuman.2 . in addition, it will direct theindividual as to how todevelope, deal with hishumaness.3 . most distinct from the formaleducational concept, the

center will blend instructionwith experience. The courseswill be "action-oriented" andavoid tendencies of "objectiveobserva t ion . "T h e center h a s been financed byMercyhurstCollege, due to bothPresident! Shane and DeanGarvey's enthusiasm for theproject.?: ~ LWith the fattitude that"education is more than an accumulation of knowledge," apoint shared by all the educatorsof the center, the College felt thatthe program "should be tried andwould b e potentially successful."Again departing fromtraditional concepts in education,

teachers were selected for thecourse on Jthe basis of their"personal experience" with thegiven subjects,frather than anycredentials they|may have accumulated.For financial reasons, mostteachers and speakers are fromthe Erie area. However, Mr.Danielski was surprised as wellas pleased to :iind so manyqualified people available to him.From the pre-registration todate, M r. Danielski ha s describedthe groups as a -"good crosssection" 5 *When asked if this spring'sprogram would be the beginningof a series of similar endeavors,Mr. Danielski indicated that anyfuture expansion of the present

center would depend on its success.^ 1'HURST? STUDENTWINS COMPETITION

Tennis 5-0, Golf 2-0FLYING HIGHIN THE JSPRINGby Dario Cipriani, Sports!Editorn^^^p

The spring sports are wellunderway at the 4Hurst" for the'73 school year. Currently, thegolf and tennis teams show undefeated sla tes, but the crew andbaseball teams have gone back toth e drawing board. $ Dave | Shimpeno's oarsmenopened on April 14 in Buffalo. T heevent was the Buffalo CityChampionships. The varsity 8boat finished in last place behindCanisius, Buffalo State and theUniversity of Buffalo. The J.V.boat made a second placeshowing. The slow start by thecrew team can be attributed to alack off water time before theopening race due to the poor Eri eweather. With the improvedclimate before the Buffalo races,the Lakers should have hadplenty of time to sharpen theirstrokes. The team rowed againstGrand Valley State on Saturday.Let's hope the spring feverHook

hold of them before t hat time. |Baseball coach Joe Cook is_looking for some offensive thrust.After opening |with a double-header victory over Duquesne,the cow-hide ] boys haveproceeded to lose five straight;four of those games were lost byone run. The Lakers scored 17runs in their victories over theDukes, however they have scoredonly 8 runs since then. Even thePhillies are scoring more runsthat that. J t i I ? 1The golf team under CoachPaul Olczak is off to a fast start.T he f linksters Jhave chalked upvictories over Alleghany andPoint Park. Tom Hixenbough iscurrently the leading scorer witha 76.5 laverage. This writer istooling along with a 77 averagewith Kim Kuysniewski (78), RickSeers (80.5) and Terry Frontino(81) close by. The golfers had abig match ' last Wednesdayagainst Indiana, Slippery Rockand S t. Francis (results were notavailabe for press). A good

showing in this quadrangle eventcould i have given the Lakerlinksters a big boost towards avery successful season . * |The bi g hit of the spring seasonthus far has been the brilliantperformance of the tennis team.The "LittleGiants," as they weretabbed by Fred Miller of the E rieMorning News recently, havedazzeled five opponents thus far.Theyjjjnot only won each of thecontests by convincing scores;but they have lost only 5 sets outof a possible 71 during} theirtriumphs. Thus I far Jim I Hay,Tommy Thompson, Denny Kuhnand Jack Daly 5 have I compiledperfect individual records. Thedoubles teams of Rick Kobleur-Hay, Thompson-Kuhn and! Borisde Nissoff - Daly! also haveperfect records. The netters arenot only raising a few eyebrows inth e District, but are also catchingthe second glances from a fewteams in [the Chicago, Illinoisarea. ^IffJifflWIf '^SSi
