[* Mercyhurst's director of grant sand government relations, JohnT. Nesbit, has worked in thatposition for over four years. Hesaid that when he first started,the institutional grants reachedthe 100,000 dollar mark. For theacademic school year 1978-79, thecollege could receive anywherefrom 600 to 700,000 dollars. |B "You don't get money from thestate or the federal governmentunless you ask for it. And youconstantly f file f proposals,'' hesaid. K T ISV Nesbit discussed the two typesof grants involved,!The grantsthat are funded are sure bets tobe awarded sometime in April orMay. Those grants f that havebeen filed are, as he said, "farfrom being awarded." |r "We're in | competition witheveryone else and it depends onhow well written and competitivethe grant' is, coupled with thereading and rating we receive,"he added, j 13& m |E He said that it was safe to saywith some degree that th e collegewill receive funds for continuation grants, such as $32,257for the continuation of internalstudies program, which seeks "to

promote understanding of cross-cultural issues among the collegecommunity."! * * The Erie Chapterm of . th eAmerican Cancer Society willfund v between five and sixthousand ^ dollars to the continuing research of Sister MaryEymard *Poydock, R.S.M.,professor emeritus in biology. J"We've worked out and writtenproposals to the National Cancerinstitute," Nesbit >said. "Eventhough Sister Eymard's work isknown in Rome, she has h todepend on funds from the localchapter of the cancer institute.We asked the national institutefor as much as $50,000. (Unfortunately, we're not a researchinstitution and we don't have abig name attached to cancerresearch . If we did, it would helpa great deal in getting her additional funding. | *& |T h e ^ " D e v e l o p m e n t a lVocational Education ^ fo rMainstreamed^ Handicapped"program, which recently filed fora grant of\ $59,000 is headed byDiana *Bonl, I instru ctor 3 ineducation.

curriculum ^involving publicschool J adminstrators, teachersand parents for handicappedstudents who, by> law now inPennsylvania, are to be main-streamed (placed in every facetthey can be in with \ regularstudents). She feels there needsto be a special curriculum, insome cases, for those students."| Along the vocational line, theprogram will try-.- and help h andicapped g students in (jobplacement once they are out ofnigh school, with the intent ofplacing them in some vocation.Another funded program,which will receive $6,000, is the*Comprehensive EmploymentTraining Act (CETA)." Involvedhere are unemployed peoplelooking for work. The government is willing to put up themoney if there a re jobs available."The CETA program costs usnothing,"s Nesbit said, |"Wesimply produce a job, hire theperson and the government givesus the money to pay their sala ry.We're using this program indevelopment and several other

areas'right now." *HB g* | *Other funded progra ms includeLibrary;LawsMay (ChangeBut Learning N ever!Does!; Judith r Bradley, assistantprofessor of library science, isvery : much involved with theMercyhurst College Library. $F; "Being in a small library, Ihave an opportunity for greaterexperiences because I get to do avariety of jobs, wher e as if Iworked in a large library, I wouldbe limited to one department,"

B _ I ! If students wish to voice theiropinions, they can either contactMs.- Zewe at Egan 2 or attend thecommittee's meetings which areheld the second Tuesday of everymonth at 9 a.m. 1 in the LRC'sfaculty research room.* ' .The next meeting scheduled isMarch 7 . ^il&fsit

McKeeve r Cetiter:Naturalist's Highby Sue Fussp Environmental education ^ ist aerm often used, but rarely understood. Just what is it and whatioes it do? Well, for example, ifyou're reading this column youare be ing ! environmentallyeducated. I t M lEvery!week!this column isabout environmental issues. Jt

you ever went to summer campas a kid you probably had-anature program which taught yousomething about the environmentin which you were living. 2'' Another type of environmentaleducation is going on at theMcKeever's facilities whichinclude : three lodges to accommodate up to ISO people, adining hall, an auditorium and amulti-purpose area known as theDiscovery Building. f ^-; All these are located on 205acres of woods and fields with aland bridge to the state parknearby. But environmentaleducation isn't in the site alone,

it 's injjjthe j program andMcKeever has a good one.Besides a variety of programsfor school and other groups,McKeever offers a wide varietyof experienc es for the individual.Included here are 5 volunteerprograms, research projects,internships, workshops, andenvironmental issues forums.McKeever is owned and operate dby the state of Pennsylvania andfunded i through I the state andprogram fees. :AIt is staffed by three environmental educators and m anyhigh school and college volunteers. & ,J 1 jjEnvironmental education is anecessity today and McKeever isone place which is* doingsomething about it.

JbyDarlene Keithfor students who want to donatetheir time to helping the not sofortunate student who is havingdifficulty, f"Every incoming freshman isinvited into the PACE program.W e focus most of our attention onthe freshmen.^We stress emphasis on giving these students agood academic I education anddeveloping leadership abilities,"stated Ms.Mashank. \&Who Are The Students? WmSome of the students are EganScholars. These*people providetutorial sessions. Other studentswho join are experiencing somedifficulty with studies and othersjust want to get a | sense ofbelonging to something. . gE Helping these incoming freshmen are six student assistantswho are upper classmen. Theytry to relate to the freshmen andfunction as part of: th e PACEprogram. I {gBp f %These \ six assis tants ar eBarbara Hardie, Pat Hastings",Steve I Flat ley, Mary % Russell,Peggy Victoria and June Gabor.b Besides helping the freshmenwith their various problems, theysometimes arrange culturalevents,! social events such asholidaycparties and help out ingeneral B ? jB:."These assistants provide thePACE studentsjrcwith a f wellrounded experience both in andout of the classroom,"? Ms.Mashank -said. "In fact, theentire coordinating staff providesthis."

Included in the coordinatingstaff are Tyrone Moore, assistant

director; Helen Trimble, coordinator of tutoring services; Je anLavin, director of self and socialawareness program;}and personal counselors, Len Cyterskiand Dave Blanchfield. -|g | j$"Of course all of these members are personal counselors,"added Ms. Mashank. "If* astudent has a problem, he can seeany of these people. Len Cyterskiand Dave Blanchfield are theprimary counselors though."When choosing the PA CE staff,M s. Mashank looks for each oneto have a different personality."I try to get a variety of per-sonalities together so jthat astudent will have a choice and beable to choose the one to which hecan relate to the best," Ms.Mashank stated.; 'I \ j *"We want to help the studentsbuild strong self-concepts and tobe able to compete academicallyin a healthy fashion!" Wft jGr ant Proposals J S 'Currently, Ms. Mashank 2is tinthe process of writing a proposalto< Harrisburg. This is done annually as a process of obtainingth e grant which makes this entireprogram possible.?' Sp* Jg;PACE is funded by a jj grantfrom the state educationassociation in Harrisb urg. This isthe fourth year Mercyhurst hasreceived the grant and eachconsecutive year, was ra tedamong the top ten jin regard toprogram jdevelopment andservices rendered to students.Throughout Pennsylvania? 57colleges and universities receivethis grant. Some of these schoolsare Gannon, Edinboro, Carnegie-

Melon, Villa Nova, Penn Stateand the University of Pittsburgh,to name a few. } 8"A funny thing iis that Mercyhurst College * has beenreceiving this grant for four,yearstand each year it is ratedamongrthe top ten. NeighboringGannon and Edinboro have beenreceiving! it longer and theirprogram is rated lower thanours," Ms.j'Mashank added.The grant, which is $71,500 isused to conduct self and socialgroup awareness lab sessions,tutoring components, ^personal,career and financial aid counseling and} to subsidize thereading, * math 'land* Englishclinics. J ?Before th e money is granted tothe ^school however, a * stateevaluator visits the college andinterviews staff, students andfaculty members to discoverwhether the PACE j? program isworking well. / &

vPast ActivitiesAmong some of the past activities were bringing PittsburghBlack Ballet, Ozananv' Stringsand Venango Christian ChoralGroup to campus. In addition tothis, they also purchased fiveseason tickets to the Erie,CivicMusic Association performances.PACE students" s h a r e , thesetickets.Even though students in PACEhave a lot of fun, the main concern is that the staff help studentsand that students with problemscome to them for help. They willcertainly be glad to help.
