P gEvery student here at Mercyhurst realizes!that there isjmoreto^oing to college then classes. jEach pursues individual outsideionterests Ijknowinog that the s^ interestsfhelp to make them famore well-informed, and interesting person. Far too few peoplerealizelthat the faculty is also involvediin outside pursuits. WEreceive the benefits |of theselactiviities but far too often, we donot give thteMacultyfrthe |recognition they|deserve for their "outof the classroom" worfcf Many faculty are represented in theliterary field and have seen the results of thfeir work in print.The Social Science Department is fortunate to have two of thesis(people within their* ranks.

-Miss Judith Wieczorek, Assistant SProtessor of Sociology, isthe author of two articles. The first, "BEHAVIOR OF STUDENTSUNDER AN UNLIMITED CUT SYSTEM/' was published in theJOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL, ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION. A second article, "THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN SELF-DEFINITION AND GROWTH is to be published in the JOURNALOF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION!i Mr. Richard Kubiak, who has studied both heregand abroadis tire author of numerous farticles and book reviews. His workhaslbeen .published in the|Warsaw publication, PRAVNA HISTOR-CZNE. In this work he dealsi withjthe works of Vod Kbvitchwhich were used in the conflict between Poland and the TeutonicKnights ofithe Cross at theC6uneil of Constantine, 1415-1418.These works comprised th^first published statement of&he Theory of international Law in th e W estern w orld. This work firesdone in conjunction with resources|in|Poland. Other works include: DurirGlos ifvaj nowszych wydawnitsw|pisma Pawla Wlod-kowica. Translated! this reads, f 'Two views on the most recenteditions of the works of Paulus|Vladimiri. |

For the future,|Mr. Kubiak, has planned two articles on theCrusade from 1202-1204. The se! artic les w ill de al with Hhe size oftheffleet, number of men, land the military! technology used inthejseigejSof Constantinople^ Future book reviews Jinclude, ALEGEND OF^DEATH AND LOVE,|by|Joseph Kearns. This dealswith the legend* of the trumpeteer ofiKrakov in 1241, when theIratars invaded Poland. Another^ review is a collection |of thesources Ion fthe "Liteslacf Res Gestae Inter Polons Ordinemque.Cruciferum, ,, at the German Order and th^. Polish Crown in thefourteenth century.

.^otii of these people are involved in outsidef pursuits andtheir students will attest to theffact that they, have benefited|byit immensely.|ln addition the Social Science Dept. is thejhome ofmany* new ideas in teaching! Their "Student Advisory Commit-tee/i is the|first in the college |and many of the other depart--ments could benefit byifollowing their example. The proposed establishment of an archive in the new Learning Resources Centerpromises to be a source oftpride to the entire school. Only bykeeping alive initiative ^and imagination will the school flourishand the people responsible for this deserve* our res pect and ou rgratitude!

Woman's liberationToo much; talk

by Bill Fichterr On Tuesday, January 19th, Mercyhurst College wasOfficially introduced to Women's Liberation. A;meetingwas held at 7 rSOpn Zurn Hall. Although therefhave beenfemale awareness sessions going in McCauley Hall forthe past few weeks, this was the first time that theirmeeting was open toymen. Therefore, since Mercyhurstis comprised of not only female, but also male students(remember us?), a movement really cannot be consideredofficially unless it|is open? to all factions, regardless oftheir diversity, f * . . sl lThe meeting was organizedfby Sister Rita, Brocke,who is one of the chief propagatorsfof this movement atMercyhurst. The guest speaker was Mrs. Barbara Star-re t t from Villa Maria College. She opened he talk by stating tha t the meeting was not meant for men, even thoughtheir presence would be tolerated. S he said tha t by try ingto convince men of the legitimacy of Women's Liberation,Bhe would indirectly be asking their permission to haveIt. This, in my o pinion, is a very valid_ point. To seek maleUpproval would be to defeat the whole purpose of women'si j Although Mrs. Starrett did promulgate several goodj o in t s , such as the one mentioned above, she let looseBorne disparaging remarks to^which I must join issue.Sh e stated that the basic reason for the decline of activepeace groups is that the women a#e leaving for the greener pastures of Women's "Lib'f and when the women aregone, "The creative ideas and the workers are gone." Bythis statement, she implies that men do not have thecreativity or the ardent desire for work which womenpossess. In this case, I am led to believe tha t M rs. St arre tthas come down with a bad case of female chauvinism.Another matter which^slightly bothered me was thefact that she very seldom usedf facts to back her vehement, and at times rank, accusations. I was given the

impression, however, tha t Mrs.^Starrett could have giventhem if she so desired, but just the same, not everyoneIBftay have had the same opinion of her*ability which Idid. For this reason, she should have used facts to bolsterher argument. | IS i 'Actually, having a Women's "Lib" movement on|thiscampus should prove to be rather amusitog. There is always so much talk and so little action.* Granted, womenare discriminated against legislatively, and they* shouldenlist the aid of both men and women to rectify this injustice. But, when it comes tolsocial discrimination, theytalk entirely too much. Social mores are not legally funding. Therefore, if they wish to do something which issocially taboo, why no t do it, instead of perpetuaUy,l>itch- g at male society? If they would, we would all be morecontent % . \ 1

Wednesday big ht, January ^20, 1971, has been termedan "historic*' levent infthe story of Mercyhurst Collegeby none other than our distinguished historianiand Dean,JMtr. Isarvey. This was the night tha t th e first full-time|Athletic Director and basketball coach of Mercyhurst,M r. DRichard Fox,jLwas formally introduced to the pressof the Brie area. As a so-called member oflthe^res^toy*Self, I^had th e ppivilegejjof attending this affair and wasimpressed^ by a number of thin gs. v| fFirst of all, Iiwasif impressed!by Ith e man|himself,|Mr. Fox, |who I have watched "in action?' ever since hisffirst days* at . Prep $injl967. In that first year,|with th eI talent available, he led the Ramblers to the PennsylvaniatState Catholic Championship, after a previous year'sIrecord of ^-18 . Last year, he , "piloted" Prep to their firstErie City titletfn five years. Softer this year, his teamhas knocked off some stiff out-of-town competition, butha s faltered twice|to Erie City teams. Objectively speak-ping, Mr. Fox's record at Prep is impressive in itself. How-ever, the personal side of the man is whatfimpressed methe most. This dinner gave me the&opp,ortunity to meetand talk {with; Mr. *Fo x for|the first time.|I found him| to be affriendly person and also one dedicated to gettingiMercyhurst's athletic program built into the dimensions'proposed for }t.^Although! Mr. Fox^definitely won't havethe spectacular beginnings here asjhe had at Prep, I'msure tha t h e will mold the " 'Hurs t 's" basketball team intoa tough competitor in;the* coming years.j

i Next, I was impressedpy th e fact that there are so^hnany people on the /faculty rthat^arej really inte rested inIsuccesstfor the athletic program. Previously, I had Really."Onlyrknown of the determination to bring success*in ath-[fleticsfthatlexists in Mr. Garvey, and a few others of my^acquaintance. ^However,? a t tthis dinner I became (fullyaware of the fact that this determination rests in manyfamore than just a few people. Thejjbest exampJe|of ;this Ifound was in Sister Carolyn. Thislsn't to say th at I didn't4hinki Sister supported the^athletic program, quite the^contrary, but I just didn't realize the lextent to which^Mster hadf"the determination." *Any doubt* I-might .havepiad was quickly dispelled in talking to* the President. Ihad known of Mr. Garvey's fierce pursuit of success, butJin Sister Carolyn (and!; many others) I found that samedevotion? ^excellence in athletics, as well as scholastics,.thati maybe Ildidn't completely realize before^ It madefjne proud to be? associated withfthese people*and theirInstitution, and to be'parteof the athletic program.| One final point that was impressive to me was theptublic acknowledgment tha t a g irls ' intram ural basketball-programs-had been started. Miss Janet Priceythe women'sIntramural director, brought out ithis fact at the dinner,rl'had known something of girls' intram ural, basketballbeing played,tbut once again .1 hadn ' t realized*the extent| to which this was organized; Miss Priced noted t ha t inother years interest in intramural basketball among the|girls hadn't been so high. She stated |that this yeai$ th egirls came to her, AFTER organizing;their owmteams,pn order to have an intramural league of their own. Miss|Pricej, alluded to the fact that th is interest! could haveIbeen caused!by the! organization |and the thigh interestthat has shown in he boys' intramural league. Ifattended$a few games* and iound the enthusiasm high ;in'all th eftgirls who were playing. This enthusiasm was carried overpinto the crowd of spectators, many of whom that are not|onlyfinterested in howfgirls play?basketball.!

V I This high degree of interest that has beenl shownin athletics by both the men and women on this campuswill be the bigger determining |factor ?in thef success ofthe athletic program and the school itself.$ January 20, 1971, will indeed be an historic date forMercyhurst as Ilong as that "coalition" of faculty andstudents that has shown enthusiasm so far,*cans continueto build on that enthusiasm in the^followingfyears.*
