The Big Question

The annual "big question" is bigger than ever thisyear Will Mercyhurst tuition go*up again nextyear? At this point, the answer is stillunclear. iIt was learned last week that the college administration and trustees a re still unsure what courseof action will be taken by the college to deal withrapidly rising expenses. IOne thing that was m ade clear by all persons interviewed was the fact that a tuition increase is a"last-resort" measure, which i will not be implemented until all* other possibilities have beenexhausted. The tone of the discussions did not runheavily to optimism, however, and it might beconcluded tha t many of the "other possibilities havealready been exhausted. -., *Mr. Willis Cardot, Vice Presidentffor FinancialAffairs and the college's chief budget and financeofficer, disclosed in an interview that the matter oftuition has vet to be discussed in the budget sessions.He stated that last Thursday's session was primarilyconcerned with the anticipated expenses of the 1975-76 fiscal y ear, and no discussion w as devoted to howthe large in crease in expenses would be met. fd outabout the local movies from our staff "expe rt" Rocco auan lpage five.

This included an advertisement for lastSunday's movie T h e B o y s in T he B a n d , a photographof Jlast weekends Coffee House performers , "Brahma" and a complete schedule of every Video TapeNetwork show that is scheduled for the rest of theschool year with a description of each show. What wegot was one small corner of page three. True, ouractivities were listed (surprisingly without! amistake this time) but, I feel quite strongly that 1Mand other members of SAC take th e time to getliterature and photographs together, then th eMerciad should have the decency to print it. Our jobis to plan activities a n d inform the students of what ishappening o n campus, but we cannot possibly do thatwithout your cooperation.Letters to the Editor such as "Blank Page 3 " whichappeared in last weeks issue are a waste of spacewhen the Merciad is supposedly "T he V oice of theMercyhurst Community . Yet, what should be ofsome interest to the Hurst Community is not printedat all. i f f .* 'pThe lack of space for activities (also a priority) isan insult to every student (and staff) at the 'Hurst.The students pay for most events (via RUS) on our

FEBRUARY! 28. 1975College Students Sound O ff - Cont.

W Q L N ' s D e m i s eDear Editor, |As a staff member of the radio station, I would liketo comment on the reasons given by the Mercyhurstadm inistration for dosing the radio station, While thefinancial realities1 of the college are of concern to*lu T1 v i t , s a b o u t t i me toyt00k a g 0^' hard lookat their list of budget priorities. By not funding a full- drive rs.time manager next year, the administration forcedWQLN to pull out of the college. And I don't blameWQLN one bit. They have provided us with goodequipment, a 35,000 watt broadcasting range (wewere one of the highest powered college studios in thecountry) and have offered air time for programspeople are really willing to work oaForget the BS about 'negating educational opportunities for students'. It's Mercyhurst who'sreally negating it. If they would have wanted to encourage the radio studio to reflect not only themusical interests of thefcollege students and alsoprograms from the art, science, and other departments, they would have seen it couldn't be done on$1,800 a year, (really $1,200 since $600 is for u tilities).The Dean has refused to consider giving academiccredit for our experience learning. Some communications major. Since many of us are forced tohold full-time jobs and pa rt-time jobs to pay for ourtuition, we can't volunteer constantly for what wewant to do. Now we find what we are paying foracademic experiences and job potential is only forlaughs. Jr.;

The real truth was pointed out last week in the'addendum' to the article by our manager, BarbaraHewitt. The college finds money Ho fund extracurricular activities, three full-time people withsecretaries, buses and parties for the sports people,but, won't encourage expression* of the ar ts andsciences which ds supposed to be the purpose of acollege.* What a joke !!! Do they rec ruit persons forany academic area like they canvass;: for thebasketball people? You bet not. There is a separatescholarship fund for athletics. Do they care abouttheir academic background? You bet not. If thecollege wants to be honest about their aims, whyriot release the total amount of money they use forthe sports department??? And departments like thetheatre are supposed to be self-supporting. H a, H a. tthink if s about time Mercyhurst developed a solidstandard in academics with its faculty and studentsand its expressions in sneakers, media, and theatreand somethings that can continue year after yearinstead of relying on the chance of winning or losingtheir fame in sports, (sic). Some fame. Or let's notdeceive the freshmen who come in here that Jthecollege really ca res about helping its students.Since most ofr the radio staff is graduating thisyear,Mercyhurst says there is no staff for next year.BS-. If they really wanted to, they would have found''incentive" for students like they do for sports. Andit's not the programm ing either. WQLN m ain studiowould accept rock programming if so someone woulddo more than find time to just play the records.Mercyhurst just doesn' t care. }

In conclusion, I would like to thank Barb ara H ewittfor the encouragement and technical know-how she'sgiven me this year. She's done a great job this yearand if we had this year's staff here next^year wecould have continued. It really reflects the prioritiesof the college and I say: THE ADMINISTRATIONBLEWIT!!!!!!!!!!! 1To begin with I feel that they rot as teac hers. In the4 years I've been here I've sat through many classesand have been subjected to their torture of ram-blings, irrelevant information and personal prejudiceuntil going to classes has become a farce. Anyof the decent instructors I have had are gone, to themgood move.Why is it necessary for the faculty to hold classesand waste my precious time, and then expect me totake time out later to teach myself.Most courses inthe school are not listed "Independent Study" In thecatalogue. IWhy must ilpay $203 to listen to a teacher talkabout the we ather, dogs and other tidbits not relevantto anyone. JIn the same respect I must also say that the facultyon this campus that I have been in contact with do notlisten to the students when they need help or want tovoice an opinioa Any opinion different from theirsfalls ondeaf ears, fIn conclusion I feel that the education of this schoolis extremely overpriced and I can only say that I'msorry I didn't quit, or b etter yet, I ever listened to thepropaganda of the Admissions Office and

believed what they said. To any incoming fresh ma nwho reads this DON'T COME.Regretfully,Nam e withheldM a i n t e n a n c e H i n tABOUT the award to the zillionth car that crashesinto the gates. Cars crash into the gates because ofthe snow, maintenance, or lack of it; cars; and

vABOUT CARS ON CAMPUS. In the winter, on slippery roads, tat low speed, cars ar e designed-andmanufactured to run into gates, poles, curbs, fields,parked or moving cars, maybe out into an intersection. Most cars have an automa tic choke, andan automatic transmission. Trouble Brewing? Let'sGo. Start, run, slow down, brake, remedy. ISTART. When the engine of such a ca r is started , onefunction of the automatic choke is to increase idlingspeed during the warm up. It started.RUN. From the parking lot to the road, usually noproblem. However, without the drivers foot on theaccelerator, the car may run 20 miles an hour down aslight graded 1^ ; ;.SLOW DOWN. As you slow down preparing to stop,the automatic transmission shifts to low, thus puttingmore power to the rear wheels. 'BRAKE. B ecause of better traction- snow tires -, andpower to the rear wheels, as the brakes are appliedthe front brakes are apt to lock and the front wheelsskid first, on ice and snow. The rear wheels are thenjust driving the c ar forward, out of control; perhapsinto a crunch. $REMEDY. In this situation the front wheel skid canbe averted by shifting the autom atic transmission toneutral. Shift to N. At slow speedza better brakingbalance is thus achieved betweenffront and rea rwheels as brakes a re applied.DRIVERS. It works. Try it. Practice it. Better luck.That's what it's all ABOUT.\ fJohnFlecken ;vMaintenance

Dear Editor: - |Note: I speak from the standpoint of a SeniorEnglish major. This situation may also exist in theother departm ents; I don't know.* Everything that I haven't learned as a freshm an,sophomore and junior has suddenly materialized inthe syllabi of my senior English courses. It wassmooth up to now; the reading and writingrequirements per course were adequate andenlightening. But, someone goofed. VNow, in mid-senior year, I finally hear of thoseworks with which every English major must befamiliar. I am expected to read a tremendousselection of novels (from early English to present)gaining great insights into each great period ofliterature while I read.1 Well,;I'm going to read 'em all (even those thatseem a s though they should be listed under foreignlanguages; and may be as far a s the library is concerned.) For, they are not to be found among theEnglish titles on the shelves. But, I am not gaining thegreat insights that English department supposes. Idon'thave time to reflect on the many aspects of eachnovel. In one course I may have nine credits worth ofmaterial to cover. But, the professor will not considerthe fact that two other of your English courses alsohave an overabundance of material; even though sheor he maytplay a role in the presentation of thoseother courses. * v *Too much is put off in the early part of the four-year program. There is a need tor theifour years.Liberal ideas are needed, and they can be foundamong the faculty. \ ?:.* The senior student is in a poor position. You have italmost all behind you. Then the roof caves in (froman overload of expectations by the department; anattempt to give you what every English major shouldhave, when no one even knows what this is.) Thedesire to just lie beneath it all (the roof was shingledwith books) and suffocate is great. But then youremember all that you've put into it already; themoney, the time, the effort. You had honestly hopedto gainfknowledge and abilities. So, you decide tocrawl out of the rubble, toward the spot of lightabove you. You just take it in your hands long enoughto shove it as ide ami continue your struggle out It'sthe "GET-OUTA-HERE-ITIS."

Flu

H e a l t h C o r n e r\ by;Sr. Joseph MaryThis is the "flu season." What is the flu? A highly contagious, acute disease caused by a virus and characterizedby fever, fatigue, aches and pains, and also inflammation ofthe respiratory mucous membranes.A cute uncomplicated influenza with recovery is the mostfrequently encountered variety of this disease. Knownviruses causing influenza are designated a s types A, B, andC. !?-Y : " ' *Secondary bacterial pneumonia following influenza ismost often due to hemolytic streptococcus, staphylococcus,and pneumococcus. Jj * r* f f. The onset is usually sudden and often marked by chills andfever. Constitutional symptoms are prominent and consistof fatigue, generalized aches and pains (most pronounced inthe back and legs), headache, w eakness, and anorexia (lossof appe tite). A subjective sense of anxiety is felt. Symptomsin the respiratory tract are usually moderate, with sorethroat unproductive cough, mild substernae distress, andsometimes corysa. t *.-&& I .In mild cases, the temperature rises to 10 1 o 102 degrees Fand lasts for 2 o r 3 days; in severe cases, it reaches 10 3 to 104degrees, and continues with a corresponding degree ofprostration, for 4 or 5 days. A cute symptoms usually subside rapidly with cessation of fever, though weakness.sweating, and fatigues may2continue?for several days(occasionally for weeks). * y | 1Other possible complications are bronchitis, sinusitis,

otitis media, and cervical lymphadenitis. | J j I Vaccines which include the prevalent strains of virusesare effective in reducing the incidence of the Hispasp ' j*Because no spectfic therapy is available at present, andsince vaccines are useless once the disease has becomeestablished, treatment is symptomatic. Patients should :1. Remain in bed during the acute stage and lor 24 to 48hours after the temperature has become normal^ i *2. The diet should be light, withfluidsup to 3,000 or 3,500cc . pe r day, and laxatives if necessary.3 . Pro per medication should be taken.Treatment of respiratory symptoms may not benecessary in less severe cases, but often it is desirable togive mild agents. G argles of warm isotonic saline are usefulfor sore throat. Inhalation of steam.may alleviaterespiratory symptoms to some extent and also prevent thedrying of secretions. A cough m ixture is often needed tolessen complications.

Window The Pastby Will OverstreetAs m entioned in last week's"Window on the Past", JamesO'Neil did not live to see theChapel of\ Christ the Kingbecome a reality. At the timeof his death, in 1931, he left thejob of seeing to it that theChapel was built in the handsof his wife, Orva O'Neil.Like her husband, OrvaCoyle O'Neil was a native ofW e s te rn Pe nns y lva n ia .Raised in an era when womenwere usually not well-educated, Mrs. O'Neil was aneducated woman. After hermarriage to James.*O'Neil,she continued to activelypursue those spiritual 'andacademic interests that shewas drawn to. jFrom the time of Mercy-hurst's founding, Mrs. O'Neilwas greatly interested in thegrowth and development ofthe college. She appreciatedthe college's goal of educatingyoung women in a Christianliberal arts base, cultivatinga wide variety of interests. IIn 1926, when Mercyhurstopened its doors, the college,lacking a Chapel, set up a"temporary" Chapel in whatis now the Business Office. Asthe years passed, and thenational economy sunk into aDepression, the S isters beganto wonder where they wouldget the money to build [ aChapel for the college. Onemorning, while Mrs. O'Neilwas visiting the college, sheattended Massfin the "tem

porary" Chapel. The roomwas so crowded! that it wasnecessary for her to kneel outin the hallway. After thatexperience, Mrs. SO'Neildetermined that ^ somethinghad to be donea Chapelshould be built that wouldhold all people who desired toattend Mass. - *Following the death of herhusband, Mrs. O'Neil did seeto it that the new Chapelbecame a Jreality. She supplied the sum of $175,000 forthe construction \ of the newChapel and its adjoiningtower. The Chapel itself wasmodeled after, the "manorchapels" that Mrs. O'Neil hadseen in England, and it wascompleted in 1933.k Shortly after the completion of Christ the jKingChapel, Mrs. O'Neil decidedthat a special side, chapelshould be built in honor of themother of Christ the King,Mary the Queen. The Queen'sChapel, an exact replica of asmall English Chapel wascompleted in. 1935. Containedwithin the Q ueen's Chapel arefour burial crypts. When theChapel was bu ilt, M rs. O'Neilwished that it might be thefinal resting place for herself,Mr. O'Neil and Mr. O'Neil'stwo sisters, Sr. Regis andMother Xavier. Mrs. O'Neilmade th e provision that if shedied in France, she would beburied there with herhusband, and as that was the

case, neither of them wereput* toji rest in the Chapelcrypte. As for Srs. Xavier andRegis, they opted to be buriedin Titusville with the rest ofthe Sisters of Mercy.

^* ^w ^^A curious note about the lifeof Mrs. O'Neil is interesting inlight of the ? imminentcanonization of Mother Setonas a saint; of the |RomanCatholic church. Mrs. O'Neilspent many years of her laterlife studying the life of MotherSeton? and doing prim aryresearch on the subject. Herwork took her through thestreets of New York Citywhere M other Seton had doneher work. It was manuscriptthat Mrs. O'Neil wrote thatcontributed significant information to the body ofknowledge necessary forMother Seton's canonization.In 1939, Mercyhurst Collegeawarded an honorary doctorate of lette rs to O rva CoyleO'Neil, for her f ac complishments in theacademic and spiritual world,in addition to her service toMercyhurst. In his speech atthe ceremony, Bishop Gannonexpressed the wish that heand Mrs. O'Neil might- bepresent at the canonization ofMother Seton. Such was notthe fate; of > either personboth are dead now, but 35years later, we see the resultof the efforts of a woman whowas** a vtrue* "bu ilder" ofMercyhurst come to pass.

FEBRUARY 28 . 1975Cop pel ia MERCYHURST COLLEGE P A C E 5

Prep Student E n t o r h i n s H u n tThere seems to be no agelimit for those desiring aMercyhurst educa tion: firs t itwas|the College? of- OlderAmericans; now Lisa O wens,a student at Mercyhurst Prepand a member of the Dance

Department's "Coppelta"production, must surely goonrecord as one of the youngeststudents in the College. Lisabegan the study of ballet 4years ago at the age of eleven.As is thecase for most seriousdancers, it was approximately at the same timethat dance became her majorambition. When Lisa firsttook ballet class with Mr.Ismet Mouhedin two yearsago, she realized the value ofthe good teacher-studentrapport that existed betweenMr. Mouhedin and hisstudents, and the quality ofthe dance education therein.She received specialauthorization from bothMercyhurst Prep . and theCollege to take the advancedCollege Ballet class, and thusshe became I the only Prepstudent to take a MercyhurstCollege course.L isa's hectic daily scheduleis typical of those oHyoung,serious ballet students theworld over: 1 up at 7:30 a.m.for school and academicstudies; at 12:40 she departsfor the College ^campus* fordaily ballet class from I until2:30 p.m. ^Afterwards it'shomework and somerelaxation,,then on to "Cop-pelia" rehearsal at 6 p.m.Because of the dedication anddiscipline involved in ballet,Lisa admits, "My life f istotally different and consequently her social lifesuffers somewhat.; However,Lisa views this as only aminor drawback in comparison with the potentialswards of her future goal,which is 1ttojjdance witlifaprofessional ballet company. *The ballet "Coppelia " willbe the biggest challenge todate for L isa, as it is the firsttime that she will dance another-than-corps apart, one of

Swanhilda's friends, in a full-length story ballet. In additionto her " Friends" rehearsals,one can see the young dancerat all i rehearsals for thecorps; although she will notbe dancing with them, shefeels as though learning thesteps "will benefit me in thefuture"both technically andstylistically. What with herclass schedule and rehearsalschedule, L isa has not! q uitehad the time, to \ pause toanalyse the ballet in terms ofcontent and motivation of thecharaoters. R ather, shethinks of'the ballet, at thispoint, in more subjectiveterms''It's a part of my lifenow," I ** v"When asked if she getsnervous before ;a performance, Lisa remarked

7that it usually depends upon

the difficulty of the steps thatshe is to dance, Her mostmemorable on-stage moment,she recalled, occurred in aperformance of "GaitcParisicn" last year with theBrie 'Philharmonic: in astreet scene in which she vgasplaying with fa ball, the Infamous object escaped hergrasp and landed In the orchestra, pit, hitting a violinplayer* I S y |\ L i s a \ e n t h u s i a s t i c a l l yawaits the next school year atMercyhurst Prop, jwhen theurogram will be expanded tonclude a bullet class taughtriree times weekly.

ofM

Mercyhurst college will be the scene oi a first in the worldf Dance this April: Charon Battles, currently a seniorance major at Mercyhurst College, will be the first Blackballerina to dance the'principal role of Swanhllda In thepallet "Coppelia.'' To say that* Charon's background in Dance Is most extensive is an understatement: she began the study of balletat the* age of nine, and at thirteen she comprised one of thirtymembers of the original Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Com*pany, founded and still directed by Nicholas I'otrov. Fromthe outset Charon danced solo roles. The Arabian Dancefrom the traditional ballet "The Nutcracker11 was set forthe Pittsburgh company on Charon. Ballets in which she hasdanced, sucn as "swan Lake", "Romeo and .Juliet", and"Petrouchka" are manifold, and as one would oxpect fromsuch an extensive background, she has had quite a numberof memorable moments. D ancing ina ballet with the famousKdward V illella would he a heady experience for any youngdancer; at the age of fifteen, Charon, dancing a s one of theFiancees in Pittsburgh's production of "Swan Lake", hadthe opportunity to dance with the guest artist. "Can youimage, recounts Charon, "fifteen years old and waltzingwith Edward Villella 1" 5 8 A "Charon, what has been your most embarrassingmoment on stage?'' * "Once, during the 'Arabian1 dance, my costume started tofall off! T he re! was, trying to act exotic and mysterious,while holding my sk Irt closed V} -I Chatting with Hhe relaxed fane I soft-spoken dancer, itseems almost incredible that with a schedule that woulddrive the most organised person into a frenzy. Charon canstill maintain such a constant poise: in addition to herrehearsals for the leading role in "Coppelia", she may beseen at all rehearsals for the corps, helping to polish theirstepsifor the upcoming performances and acting as ageneral understudy, and she teaches ballet classes twiceweekly at the Martin Luther King Center, located downtownall while taking five courses at M ercyhurst, andmaintaining a household IWhen asked what she views to be the^nost difficultaspects of portraying the character of Swanhllda. Charonreplied that It is a great challenge to be at once innocent

and youthful but not childish". She feels that a story balletSuch as " Coppelia" creates demands of a dancer that aredistinct from those of pure dance bailets;* specifically, thechallenge is t o create and sustain a person on stage whilesimultaneously maintaining a technically proficient level ofdancing. Being black, she feels, w ill not significantly affecther Interpretation of the role It makes little difference toCharon how ever, she does feel as though a black hallerlnaperforming swanhllda for the first time ever may encountermore difficulties in convincing audiences who are quitefamiliar with "Coppelia." \ H-Charon looks forward to performing with Hev. ThomasMcSweeney of Gannon College, who performed the role ofD r. Coppelius last year and will do so again this year. Hishumorous portrayal of the eccentric toymaker-magician,which she saw last year at Mercyhurst, win make for a'' very exciting performs nee" this Spring,"Coppelia will be presented under the d irection of I smet ^Mouhedin, the weekends of April 11 and April IB. at theMercyhurst College L ittle T heatre.

Michael Lewis is comingback toMercyhurst!| Those * students who firstsaw Michael Lewis performat Mercyhurst last year willwell remember the talents ofthis blind ' singe r-pian istwhose enthusiasm ana spiritare highly contagious.Although #he ; presentlymakes his home in London,Michaell Lewis'^ origins takehim back to central Illinois.At no time did his blindnesslet the blossoming of hismusical talents/ and hestarted his musical trainingat eight years of age. Aftertwo years experience in theearly 70's with a folk-rockgroup out of Canada, "MaraLoves*', Michael struck it outonhis own. Ispart of the|success of Mr.Lewis' gigs is the feeling that

he has toward his audiences.He feels that "an entertainerhas a responsibility to hisaudiences, -and when heforgets his responsibility, heceases to entertain". Mr.Lewis; hasn 't reached thatpoint, and it is doubtful thathe ever 'will. On stage,Michael demonstrates anenthusiasm seldom witnessedthese days, with vibrant vocalpieces packed with emotion. Inaddition, Lewis has a skillwith the piano which sets thescene for a really chargedatmosph ere. He holds nothingback. * v[ \Michael Lewis will beperforming in the Coffehouseon Monday, Tuesday, andWednesday nights. Therewill be two shows- one at 9:00p.m. and one at 10:00 p.m.Don't miss it!

Food Fads Fool You?Food faddism and quackeryare aspects Jof nutrition thathave attracted increasedinterest and attention fromnutritionists d ue' to theircontribution to today's health,economic | and socialproblems. The food quackwith' his strong^ emotionalappeal, v exaggerated claimsand powers ot persuasion hasgained the attention of asignificant portion of ourpopulation, which is ' notlimited |to the poor, superstitious or uninformed butalso effects the educated, theelderly, and the young adult,:!Food fads are^ defined asfavored or popular fashions infood consumption advancingmedical and food technology,rhe food faddist has been ableto capitalize on nutritionalfacts and the public's concernfor better health. ( %One popular fad is the increased use of; organicallygrown foods to promote optimum nutritional health.However, a comparison of thenutritional content i\o twobrands of cereal, Quaker 100per cent Natural Cereal withraisins andj dates, andKellogg's Raisin Bran, showsthat the enriched Kellogg'sBrand in* almost every instance is nutritionally greaterthan the 4 natural". jAnother fad widelypromoted is dietary supplements. Faddists claimnatural f vitamins arenutritionally superior to thosemade synthetically, despitethe fact that there has been noscientific proof to substantiate such a claim. Thehuman body; uses vitamins

b y P a m e l a L i tt leaccording to its needswhether it be natural orsynthetic i 5The Food and DrugAdministration has estimatedat least a half billion dollars ayear has been spent for unnecessary nutritional supplements, so called "health"foods, books and specialdevices promised to rectifyevery sort of nutritional ill. Ifal comparable amount ofmoneys went for the improvement of food intakes,both|the consumer and thefood industry would benefitgreatly. Such a large expenditure of the consumer'smoney on "fads" occurring inan affluent society, reflectsthe health consciousness ofthe American people and ourcontinuous search for longerand healthier living.However, it has beensuggested that if the amountof money spent on dietarysupplements *in the UnitedStat es * is a sign of thenutritional status of thepopulation, we must be themost poorly nourished nationin the world. *Food fads tend to emphasize a food concept, rath erthan a nutritional concept.Such fads may* exaggeratethe virtues of a particularfood, place special emphasison natural and organic foods,promote special devices forpreparing or cooking foodthat are said -to conservenutrients or they may omitcertain foods from the dietdue to properties that aredetrimental to health.The government andvarious organizations! in

volved with protecting theconsumers again st foodquacks ar e fearful of theeconomical and ethicalaspects of their operations.Older people are particularlysusceptible to foodvfads anaquacks because of theircontinous fear of becoming illor dependent on others. Inaddition, people who believein the fradulent claims andproducts of the food quackmay delay in finding soundmedical counseling untilirreparable damage hasoccurred.In addition to governmentagencies, such as the Foodand Drug Administration,O t h e r p r o f e s s i o n a lorganizations such as theAmerican Home EconomicsAssociation, the AmericanPublic Health Association andthe A merican Dietetic

Association have ^activeprograms set' up to protectthe American consumeragainst food faddism andmis in format ion . . .Theseorganizations attem pt to keepthe public informed and-tohelp them distinguish between , fact and fallacy.Nutrition education is themost effective way of combating food] fads and foodquackery.One should realize that thefood faddist has done a greatdeal to emphasize the importance of adequatenutrition, although, one canonly hope that the attention ofthe concerned can be directedtoward more reasonable, safeand cheaper i solution; forhealthy living.

. If you happen to be aw ake at the sinful hour of 6:30 a.m .,you might be surprised to hear the pitter-patter of little feet,rounding the circle around Zurn Hall. You might be furthersurprised if you learned it was the Crew team ! iYes, the Crew team 's time has come. Led by the dashingfigure of the Murph himself, the party boys can no longer belabeled a bunch of alcoholic tired loads. vf ?|iThe team, coached of course by Dave Siiimpeno, is out towin at all costs this year as indicated by the earlypreparation, started at the discretion of certain teamme mb ers. This morning conditioning program is the toppingon the cake to a w inter of weight lifting in the confines of theold McAuley laundry room. Also, with Temple Universityawaiting the a rriv al of our team , this off-season conditioningcould be a blessing in disguise, since the team, due to iceconditions on the Bay, won't be able;'to secure any watertime prior to their trip to PhiUyir ; I f 'Many, top-notch colleges, among them Marietta, MorrisH arvey, N otre Dame,-Michigan State, Purdue, Ithaca, andBuffalo State, will meet our oarsmen on the water thisspring. With a schedule like this, it will take a combinedteam effort as well as an attitude comparable to the oneshown this winter by Jour oarsmeni who sacrificed everyother day tojimprove on the various strength aspects ofCrew. Furthermore, since every seat in the Varsity and J.V.boat will be fought over, team members will work-jextrahard to keep that sh arp edge glowing and team disciplineand attitude intact, aspects which died last Spring in thefinal 200 me ters against Grand Valley and Wayne State.Along with Gerry Murphy, Jack (Mouth) Freidel will beexpected to occupy a seat in the Varsity, that is, if a freshman doesn't'beat him out. Ed (Inchworm) Inscho mostlikely will row a t stroke provided he can sha ke the habit ofstarting at 26 strokes per minute. Frank Sands will againshout his moral support to the Varsity from his plush seat inthe stern of the boat. Lamont Prince, probably the mostconsistent oarsm an on the team , will again add a touch ofcolor to an otherwise tedious team . Mark (Rutt) Ruttenburgwill definitely h ave to lose weight before he ever thinks ofgaining a seat in the V arsity. Joe (Dapper) Dolan will fightlike a madm an for that: bow spot, since he learned Peppermint Patty will again hold the bow of the boat for theVarsity. Finally.fHuge Gene Egan won't be rowing in theVarsity this Spring, unless he can find spac e to fit his trunk.Suffering trom a seve re case of wrecked body, H uge Genewill see limited action this Spring. JThis is the year the Crew team could do it all. It's going tobe a rough spring, but Dave Shimpeno seems to have theteam ready and anxious to deliver a few severe blows toMarietta, Morris Harvey, and especially Buffalo State.With the exception of the opposition, anyone who attends theraces this spring won't ride back to the Hurst in disappointment.
