major, proposed for introductionin the fall of 1984, has been pass-

ed through the Academic Po liciesCommittee and is being sent to theSenate for approval, according toAcademic Dean David Palmer.

If the proposal is approved bySenate, it will then be passedthrough the Dean's Office beforefinal review by President of thecollege, Dr. William P. Garvey.

"In the Five Year Plan, SportsMedicine was one of the futureprograms that was to bedeveloped," Palmer said.

Although final approval hasn'tbeen given and there are stilldetails to be worked out, Palmeris confident that the new majorwill be instituted.

In fact, he said, candidates toserve as director of the programhave already been considered;

Although the position hasn't beenfilled, one of the names Palmermentioned was Robert Sturm,currently an Associate Professorof Sociology. f

' 'At this ime, t's so embryonicthere's only one goal that I have,"Sturm said, "assisting the Admis-sions Department in recruitinghigh caliber students." .

Sturm also said that hehopes tobegin to build a job market forstudents graduating from theprogram. h

"I have personally contactedDr. Vinos Rogers, the head ofSports Medicine at HamotHospital," he explained. "He hasagreed to serve on .an advisory

committee."The new program will be divid-

ed-into |two emphases: wellnessand athletic training.^Largely interdisciplinary,

Palmer said that relatively few"new" courses will have to be in-stituted forfthe Sports „Medicinemajor. "The cour ses, except for afew new ones in the PhysicalEducation Department, arealready here," he said. "Thatmakes it a lot easier toimplement."

"We<can handle most of thecourses in the program, but wewill have to seek cooperationfrom Hamot Hospital in teachingthe Exercise Physiology class ," heexplained.

It's important for us to get thebacking of the NATA (NationalAthletic Trainers Association),"Palmer said. "We are working tosatisfy their requirements fromthe start." | *p

A relatively new field, Mer-cyhurst hopes to "getJin on the

««T*»

ground floor'' with its new major,according to thewritten pro posal.R "It's quite possible that a pro-gram like this is the first of itskind," I Palmer said, citing thewellness emphasis. This thrust willbe unique according jj to Dr.Keelor, a nationally-known expertin the field. .* -

"In a sense, this is a pioneeringprogram in the country," Palmercommented.

The groundwork for the newprogram has been being laid forseveral years, Palmer explained.Brad Jacobsen, MercyhurstAthletic Trainer, who holds aMaster's Degree in SportsMedicine, was "hired with an eyetoward working on the sportsmedicine proposal," Palmerexplained.

Palmer added, "another im-petus to instituting the new majorwas the development of the

wellness program."The program consists | of 23major courses from nine depart-ments, supplemented by corecourses and electives.

The proposal Palmer projectedan enrollment of 12 to 15 newstudents each J year. "There arealready students on campus whohave expressed an interest in themajor who can take the coursesnow," Palmer said;

"I don't know whether suchfigures are predictable," Sturmsaid. "It depends first on recruit-ment, second on the caliber of theactual program ... and third onwhether the first graduates of theprogram get jobs."

First Madrigal Dinner j§To Debut This Weekendn g B i B y Mary JoAllen E fP ^I MERC1AD Feature Editor t i| Students of the D'AngeloSchool of Music and the HotelRestaurant Management Depart-ments are | working together topresent a "Madrigal Dinner" thisweekend. J The three day eventrepresents the first time these twodepartments have worked jointly

on a project, i J I I ^P*qf aI "Madrigal Dinner"Jis*a com-

bination of a 16th Century feastand musical entertainment<fromthat 1 time period. .Frank Pauze,HRM director and co-coordinatorof the event, hopes this will be thestart of a new Mercyhurst seriesmuch like the annual summerCanterbury * Feast. "This firstMadrigal Dinner will be the begin-ning of a college tradition to takeplaces the first weekend everyDecember," Pauze said.? * ±

Joseph it Chiarelli, acting direc-tor of music and the other coor-dinator agrees with this goal. "It's-only natural that two departmentslike? HRM and Music combinetheir efforts to hold a traditionalMadrigral Dinner," he explained.

• B o t h Pauze and HRM instruc-tor John Wolper researched the

food of the 1500's|toiinsurehistorical accuracy. The menureflects this w ith its promised fareof fresh fruits, home-churned but-ter and rye bread, corn-on-the-cob, chicken and the absence oftea and coffee* The beverage serv-ed will be "Wassail," a spice-flavored ciderf drink. Quests will

be served oniwooden slabs,Jbututensils will;be provided by thetable-waiting "serfs". 1 8 I ElI Chiarelli also I did extensiveresearch into the time periodftomake sure all facets of the enter-tainment fit into the 16th Centurymood., Asr a part I of this,Renaissance Christmas carols willbe feature d! before each courseand I a 25 minute concert f willfollow the meal.

The Madrigal Dinner will evenfeature a "Jester" to be played byJohn Wolper. Audience pa rticipa-tion* is encouraged with m anynumbers I designated -: as '' singalongs" and guests are invited todress in period costumes.'?' The period costumes of theRenaissance which the serfs andsingers win wear are due to thework of a guest fashion designer.Ruby Ming, recently of thePhiladelphia Opera CompanyDesign Department, reseached the1500's for appropriate dress. Shefound each toned tunics ; andbodkins made of upholsteryfabric would be most appropriatefor the mood being created.

The Madrigal Dinner will be

held tonight, Saturday, December3 and Sunday, December 4 at St.Mark's Center. Tonight andSaturday evening, the dinner willbegin at 6 p.m . and Sunday will bea matinee beginning at 1 p.m.Tickets may still be purchased forthe event through the D'AngeloSchool of Music at 825-0296.

Sports Medicine MajorWould Benefit;Mercyhurst

Mercyhurst College may possibly undergo anotheracademic period of expansion and excitement if a four yearSports Medicine major is approved.& Currently, the proposed p rogram which would debut in thefall of 1984 has been accepted by the Academic Policies Com-mittee. The college Senate will review the Sports Medicinemajor at an upcoming meeting. If approved by the Senatebody, Dr. David Palmer, academic dean will re-examine theproposal. ILastly, President of the college J Dr. William P.

Garvey will then tak e the necessary steps to finalize, or makefurther recommendations concerning the Sports Medicinemajor. ?

If the program is inducted, it will focus on th e two divisionsof athletic training and wellness, a rather unique and appeal-ing combination. The emphasis will prove to be verybeneficial in tight of th e mentally and physically health awaresociety of toda y. M ore and more positions with such an em-phasis are opening up in the job market, which makes theSports M edicine major especially interesting for studentsA.Many Sports Medicine program specifics have been deter- &£

mined, and Mercyhurst could easily implement the proposedmajor. With these facts in mind, the adoption of the major tothe curriculum would be a wise decision for the college.

First of all, the Physical Education department currentlyoffers mo st of the necessary courses for the major, along withvery competent professors qualified to teach Spo rts Medicine

classes.Seeking cooperation from Hamot Medical Center is also anoutstanding idea. Afterall, one of Hamot's most unique pro-grams is its Sports Medicine Clinic. Information and advicefrom the hospital could easily be supplied to the college aswell.

Since the Sp orts Medicine major is a rather unique programin the country tod ay, Mercyhurst could take great pride by in-stituting this " pioneering" major. In addition, the programwould prove to be extremely successful at Mercyhurst sincemany students have expressed interest in the major.

Lastly, 1983-84 is considered th e year of Holistic Health atMercyhurst College. So, th e S ports Medicine will build even

g* more euphoria and a healthy feeling at the college.

What Ever|HappenedTo...?By Kathy Kohnke J

iChanges, yes there have been afew a t Mercyhurst in thepast fouryears, some go noticed and othersgo unnoticed but the fact is the'Hurst is on the move. But these

changes are only noticed by veryfew of us; by those of us calledSeniors, because we are the onesthat have experienced this type oftransition. J | <

Let's talk about some of the bigchanges and I'll give you a hint it

^didn't take place in the menu at?the cafe. ^ ?^|SPB The addition of football to the

school on the hill has been one ofthe biggest differences. When Iwas a freshman, rinding a man oncampus was hard, ^harder thanmost of you find t today believe itor not, but I'm talking about thenumber of men. The ratio ofwomen to men was 3 to 1 in 1980and now I believe it's just abouteven. I v ^ l l i l l

H In 1980, Homecoming weekend

was a first at the 'Hurst bu t therewas no long, no queen, no foot-ball game, just a weekend that in-cluded a dinner-dance and an ex-citing soccer game betweenBehrend and the Lakers. Nowchanges have been added to thisfestive weekend in an attempt tomake Homecoming what it should!

l>e on a college campus.But these are just a few changes

that have taken place.9 One other*'that took place was in theacademic calendar for the 1981-82school year, and if you ask anysenior, it's a change that is sadlymissed. The concept of "Interses-sion" is only remembered by

seniors and rarely discussed as anacademic highlight for those col-lege students that experienced it.It was more famous for the?, shallI put it, social* highlights itpossessed. Intersession ran fromT hanksg iv ing i br eak untilChristmas fbreak. It was three

Kathy Kohnke' •weeks where students took oneclass for three hours once a day.Many students took this time totake classes that they • were in-terested in outside of their own

major, some used these threeweeks to brush up on other skills,

I such as entertaining, night life aI basic all around socializing. T1 administration cut out InterseSsion fori a number of reasonI which made fall term the fourteeSweek,

four course ? semester w-have now.- All in all we seniors w* always remember those three ho

classes! l ike nuclear arms|Coaching the Woman Athlete ofMixology and the memories o

those late night get togethers, studying of course, that we all indulged in. £%

Intersession would be going oright now if it still existed. It wastime where dorms took that littlextra decorating for Christmasgetting together and celebratingthe Holidays. Now the time ispent cramming for finals, endininternships and handing in lasminute projects, *~

Yes, Mercyhurst College hachanged from the eyes of a seniorgood or bad, who is to say it's al

the same in the experience we calCollege. J

Recent'Hurst GraduateWins School Board Seat

itfifrffiftSffi <4yaaoa^>x*A<ao

^Brian Dougherty, a 1983 Mer-cyhurst graduate, Jhas recentlybecome one of the youngest.per-sons ever to be elected to the ErieSchool Board. $

Winning by a margin of 51votes, ,he beat out Erie schooldirector Eva Tucker for the finalavailable four-year seat on theBoard, i f

Despite the slim victory,Dougherty said that he neverthought he was going to lose.

"Even when the morning paperhadt me down by 19 votes, I stillthought! I had won," i he com-mented. "I knew the recountwould be in my favor."

To be sworn in on December 5,Dougherty said that he ran for theoffice because of "inefficiencies"he saw on the Board.

One means he hopes to use tocorrect these "inefficiencies," he

said, will be "getting the ad-ministration and the board allworking together instead ofagainst one another."

"I would like to see computersand high technology implementedon a high scale in the schools,"Dougherty added.

In working with the Board, hesaid his age will be both an advan-tage and a disadvantage.

"I'm sure some Board memberswill look upon me as inexperienc-ed," he said, "but I'll also be br-inging a lot of new ideas."

One of the ideas will be a strongemphasis on discipline. . SS "There has to be somethingd o n e a b o u t a b se n t e e i sm,"Dougherty said. He cited the needto create programs to keepstudents in school instead ofpunishments like suspensions. |

The film, ALL THEJJRIGHTMOVES, ..written byI MichaelKane, directed by Michael Chap-man and produced jby StephenDeutsch stars Tom Cruise, LeaThompson and Gary Graham.

The film! focused around thelives of high sch ool kids and theirdesires to make something * ofthemselves. Stephan Georgovitch(Tom Cruise), fthe protagonist,was faced with the fear of pot get-ting accepted into a good collegefor an education he wanted more

than anything. A football scholar-ship was his only shot. j ^ ^ ^ _ _

In many ways, the film wasrealistic. For many kids today, anextra-curricular J activity, such asfootball, isiithe only way to getthrough college. Dealing with peerpressures, family hardships andself-growth, the film was a goodrepresentation of struggle.

For the Jmost part, the acting

was decent. Tom Cruise seemed tobe a natura l! in front of thecamera. With;; a? better role, hemay have had more of an impact.It seems as though there were toomany undeveloped characters inthe film that took away from theemotional feffect.

Committee EstablishedTo Organize Activities

A new committee (has beenformed, to organize and coor-dinate the events sponsored by thevarious departments of the col-lege. The external committee is

the name of the organizationdeveloped by Mary Daly, directorof external affairs.

The committee consists% ofvarious persons wh o are responsi-ble for the tasks which affect theorganization of specific events.

Some of the members include,Conine Halperin, director of theOffice of Community Education.Phyllis Aiello, director of housingand safety, Donna Peterson,public relations director for themusic department, Sharon Sisco,director of media services, BerthaKiewice, director of housekeepingand John Washington, Supervisorof K.C. Foods/ $ Ii The committee has developed amotto which clearly defines thepurpose of the external commit-tee. "It lets the right hand knowwhat the left hand is doing," Dalysaid. Peterson views the commit-tee as an organization which"makes the whole college runsmoothly." K *

The committee meets everyMonday to oversee that the eventsscheduled for the next two weeksare thoroughly planned. This may

include making sure a film projec-tor will be at Zurn'.Hall for thefilm for discussion, confirmingthat publicity has been completedfor an upcoming event. "It's real-

ly a check and balance system,"Daly said.Daly initiated the committee

because an event recently spon-sored by the* college lackedorganization.- As a result,iDalydid not want the incident to occuragain, so she took it upon herselfto organize the committee.

However, she does not singleherself out as a chairpersonbecause she considers the commit-tee a group which meets informal-ly. Although the committee justbegan meeting three weeks ago,Daly believes it has already pro-ven successful. f

By Naomi Romanchok $MERCIAD Staff Reporter

Seven Mercyhurst College

students from the Erie area wererecently announced as recipientso f tw o p res t i g i ou s l oca lscholarships.

Winners of the Bishop Jeffer-son Davis Myers Scholarship wereMelinda Connor, Toni Myers andChannel Pulliam. Recipients ofthe Reverend Ernest T. SmithScholarships were Tyrone Battles,Bernard Lofton, Anthony Mc-Cullum and Trudie Tate.

The scholarship judging wasbased on high school academicperformance, church service,community service and the recom-mendations^ of their respectivepastor. J $

The Bishop Myers Scholarshipswere awarded for academic ac-complishment. Each carries a

monetary value of between $1,150and $2,300. The Reverend SmithScholarships were granted tostudents who show future promisewith the help of a Mercyhursteducation. Both awards can berenewed yearly. £

Toni M yers, a graduate of M er-cyhurst Prep, felt that the scholar-ship was, "a well-earned pay-off

|for all of my high school work."Myers is a freshman majoring inComputer Management Informa-tion Systems.

Freshman Trudie Tate, also aCMIS major and a graduate of

1East High School, was happy with

the award. "It helped me furthermy education."

Channel Pulliam, another

freshman and CMIS majors whograduated from Academy HighSchool in Erie, said, "th e scholar-ship especailly influenced my deci-sion to come to Mercyhurst Col-lege." Other winners wereunavailable for comment at presstime.

Though two major banks warn-ed that Guaranteed Student Loans

may, out of necessity, become athing of the past, Mercyhurstfinancial aid officials are not con-cerned about the possibility.

At a recent convention of theNational? Council of HigherEducation Loanrepresentatives ofFederal SavingsAssociation andMellon Bank expressed concernabout their lack of profit' fromstudent loans.

But, | Assistant Director ofFinancial Aid, Sister | MicheleLeehan doubts that this trend willspread or even continue.*

"I don't 3 think there's anyreason for worry," Sr. Michelesaid, citing that so far only twobanks have mentioned the

possibility of cutting back on theloans.

According to College Press Ser-vice (CPS), Lawrence Floyd ofFlorida [ Federal Savings said ifsegments of the student popula-tion were to be "chopped out" ofloan receiving opportunities, thefirst to go would probably bestudents at private, vocationalcolleges, who generally borrowless money than other students.As a result, their loans are lessprofitable for the bank to make,Floyd said. |v

Student loans also become un-profitable to banks after Jhestudents graduate, when thestudents who do begin loan pay

The awards stem from the col-lege's commitment to socialjustice. Both scholarships are inmemory of two area men whoundertook the cause of blackministry and eventual socialjustice.

Allot of interesting events oc-curred over the recent breakwhich I think are worth noting.

After Edinboro's DennyCreehan's Fighting Scots proved

how classy they were by runningup the score against the Lakers,they sat back proudly and eagerlywaited for an invitation to theNCAA Division^ II playoffs. *Iguess Coach Creehan figured the76-13 trouncing of the 'Hurstwould impress the JNCAAofficials. 5

I suppose it's m y duty to reportto you the sad turn of events. Ohope the sarcasm wasn't too ob-vious.) The Edinboro FightingScots had to sit back and watchthe playoffs commence withouttheir presence like the m ajority of

Division II colleges also did.In case some of you missed \

Jack Polancy's columns a few Iweeks ago in The Morning News,he felt just about the same way.Polancy called Creehan's style ofcoaching "bush".

If perhaps you don't knowwhat happened in the ball game,let me enlighten you. Besides ob-viously outmanning Mercyhurst,

Edinboro made it even moreapparent, f •* fCreehan kept the first) string

ballplayers in the contest for allbut the last few minutes of*, thegame. To add fnjury to insult,with the Fighting Scots leading58-7, Edinboro attempted a2-point conversion after theirtouchdown. *

Then moments later, Edinboroattempted an onside kick. How'sthat for class coaching? |

Personally, I'm not sheddingany tears over the fact that theMercyhurst-Edinboro series maybe over. In fact, if it were feasible,I'd like to drop Edinboro from allour sports schedules.I But, since | that isn't realistic,

how about a payback. Nothing as

lowdown, but effective. Likeperhaps a big basketball victory.

It's convenient t oo. Mercyhurstentertains Edinboro on Monday,December 12$ at the CampusCenter. Let's all go out there androot for the Lakers in this one.

While I'm on Basketball, Ican't leave out the Lakers. Aftertwo regular season games, theteam has looked good. ' 1 \

The 'Hurst adapted well to theHoughton College style of play asthe team was forced to play aslowly paced game. It didn'thinder them as the Lakers finishedthe contest on top, 63-48. JohnGreen had a game high 23 pointsfor the Blue and Green.

Against the Red tFlash of St.Francis, Mercyhurst played well,but not well enough to win. Thegame, which was held at the BrieCivic j Center, was an excitinggame with both squads runningand gunning. i i t

S T h e Lakers fell short 89-75.

A sidelight of the two cage's hasbeen the play of freshmen \ MattNesser and Todd Lee. These twoguys have been performing likejuniors instead of first year col-lege players. Check them out.

Coach Kevin Porter had a gameplan in mind when he came to Erie

and it worked. The Lakers drop-ped their first game 89-75 to theRed Flash.

Porter, a former NBA star for11 years, wanted his club tobother and contain John Green.

Green, who scored 35u pointslast year; against the Red Flash,was held to ten.

"We put our big guard,Napoleon Lighting | (6-4) , onGreen so that he'd hav e a big manin his face to shoot over. Our keyto winning the game was contain-ing Green," said Porter.

Verilla And Callahan fTake X-Country On The Road

By Debbie Hi son | jfFour month of excruciating

training, waking up at .7 a .m.weekends for a daily 15 mile runand countless hours of condition-ing. These are just a? few of thenumerous qualities that go intothe making of a marathon runner.

Striving to be the best, that'swhat .Ron Verilla and PatCallahan are trying to obtain, f:

Ron and Pat participated in the25k International Peace race, inYoungstown, Ohio a few weeksago. Callahan placed third in hisage group with a time of onehour, 38 minutes. Verilla came in

22 overall out of 600 starters witha fourth place finish and a time ofone hour, 29 minutes.

Just thi s past Sunday,November27 , they both ran in thePhiladelphia Marathon. OverallPat and Ron did not fair well. "It

was just an off day for us," saidVerilla.

Of the 6,000 starters only about2,100 runners finished the race.Verilla finished A approximately300, and Callahan dropped out ofthe race at 17 miles with stomachand intestinal cramps. "I went toPhiladelphia in hopes of qualify-ing "for the Boston Marathon,although at five miles I was onpace,? the cramps became toosevere," he said* He will try toqualify again in the Cleveland-Revco Marathon. |

Verilla was not really in topshape for the race because of a leg

strain a few weeks prior to theevent. "At 10 miles I was on|a2:30:00 pace, physically I feltO.K. but mentally I didn't trainhard enough. I'll train harder forBoston." The best time for V erillaso far hi s been his time of 2 hr. 37

min. "37 sec. which ghe raApril in the Boston Maratho

Of course they are disappowith their performancePhiladelphia \but this has (them", the incentive to tryharder next time.

One goal of C allahan's is tin this year's upcoming BMarathon. He'll have to doby qualifying in another raless than 2:30:00. BecausVerilla's finish in last yMarathon he j was 'invited again. |

J In the next four monthsrunners will be training very

to | accomplish and obtaingoals they have set for themsWe wish them luck! <

Ron and Pat would likthank Dr. William Garvey fobis support.
