From The Tower:

THE! iFORGOTTEN

CAMPUSby AljjBelovaracThe back campus which lies betweenZurn*parking lot andMercyhurst P rep seem s to be the least noticed area of the groundswhile at the same tim e having the most potential for development.

This area contains the apple orchardand the mysterious eco-system both of which are serving no useful purpose to the studentshere at M ercyhurst.

The orchard rem inds us of an abandoned sacred grove in Greecea few cen turies after the barb arians snuffed out the last flicker ofHellenism. It ispost-marked bytugly dirt hills, brush piles, androtting apples. The weeds are enveloping the area like an invadingarmy and we have receivedfirst-hand reports of poison ivy lurkingamong the tangled brush and fallen apples.

p ' e are surprised some of the more enterprising individuals inMcAuley Hall didn't take advantage of the unused apples and haulthem off to the Gore Road Cider Mill lastfall .| An apple cidermonopolyon camp us would have pulledin hundreds of dollars.

The eco-system reminds us of the Russian tundra region with itsendless briars and prickers interspersed by newly-planted treesdefiantly shaking their wilting branches at Mother Nature, whoseems determined to make their struggle for existence endin vain.

It's a terrible shame that such a large portion of the campus isbeing allowed to deg enerate into aweed-grown junk heap.

With a little imagination and a larger amount of work, this backarea could be turned into a very attractive park in which studentscould enjoy the peace and beauty of the greenery without beingconcerned with tripping over the several drainage pipes scatteredabout or becoming hopelessly entangled in vicious pricker bushes.

: For a start, the are a shouldbe cleared of the dirt piles, brush, andother assorted junk that presently pollutesthe grounds.

When spring finally arrives in all its glory, the weeds should beshaved away, leaving an even growth of grass that must be cutregularly to prevent the undergrowth from reap pearing.

At the present time there's no decent place on campus for acouple to take a leisurely, private walk. This area would be theperfect place if it was landscaped and kept up, and the charm of thecampu s would certainlybe enhanced.

In the spring the orchard will become submergedin a sea of appleblossoms and birds and sunshine and everything else that's greatabout that seaso n. It will be a tragedy if it's notre-vamped so thatstudents might draw th e most from the beauty it has tooffer.

As it stands, Jeremiah Johnson would have little hope of surviving among the dirt piles, garbage,drainage? pi pes, and weedsthat destroy its aesthetic app eal.

\Ye hope somethingis or w ill be planned by whoever is responsibleto alleviate this sad situation. If not, the students here are beingdeprivedol a very scenic and desirable area. Enough pavemen tsanu parking lots scar the face of the campus. Wehopejjthe administrationwill concern itself with improving the orchard and ecosystem with as much vigour and zeal asit does in laying asphalt.The campu s should be designed for people,not automobiles.

Two years ago, Andy Warholproved his worth as afilm-makerwhen his undergroundfilm called"Trash" made its way intoestablished thea tres . Muchcredit w as given to his right-handman Paul MorisseyVwho didamajor portion of directing andfilming.

Since then Mr. Morissev hastaken over the entire productionin Warhol's Factory. His nextventure was to 'make anoverground film. Infthis transition he fails. Where in otherWarhol films plot concept wasdescribed and the actors m ade updialogue as they were filmed.Now script has been added andthe results are more amateurish.3

"Heat" is a story of residents ina slumish L os Angeles m otel, runby Pat Ast (a fat ugly Momma

Cass type). At this motel wefindJoe (Joe Dallesandro) a grownchild actor, Sally (Sylvia Miles)an agingmovie queen,her lesbiandaughter, ana a few namelesscharacters.

Joe, tin his quest to findtheatrical employment, bedsdown with Sally in order to useher so called influence. Poor Joeis kept busy because when heisfi

not with Sally he is shacking upwith Pat Ast to pay his motel fees(she is so ugly-I'd sleep in thestreets). USB

The story drags on for whatseems like weeks. We encounternumerous arguments with Sallyand her spoiled lesbian d aughter,who when she sees thefun mom ishaving, decides "she doesn't wantto be alesbiananymore.n

The dialogue is at an alltimelow. It is surprising that whenthese actors are left on their ownin past Warhol productions, theycan talk forever, but in this legitattempt they eitherforget theirlines or the cue cards are inHebrew!!!!!! f-'The only convincing characters areaxcameorole of a self-abusingdeal muteand Sally's daughter 4* (AndreaFeldman). In fact Miss Feldmanis remarkably believable.^ Shehandles her role of the messed updaughterso well that it is obviousshe is type-cast....|... By the wayshe killed herselfin August.

Hopefully, Warhol will revertback underground and dropMorissey. "Heat" makesWarhols film of the Em pire S tateBuilding unbearably exciting.

REFLECTIONSSomedays in class, I look

outside and see thelake.Jl thinkhow wonderful it would be to be asailboat blown across the icylake. Then I think no,1 wouldn'talways be blown, I'd gain controland race w ith the wind.m I would be a sm all sailboat, forevery person is just a smallsailboat on the huge ocean. Thatis not to say that man isinsignificant, buti rather we musttake control of our ownlives andmake them great.

For my sail, I would choose thecolor red with a giant yellow sunon it so passersby would glanceup and wave and maybe,lor onemoment- feel ha ppy. ?

For my friends, I would chooseGod, nature and love. My onlyenemies would be prejudice,hate, war, and superficialncss.All I would ask of mankind is tha tthey live their lives fully and beconcerned for future generations.

S TUDENTI SESSION SI PLANNED

Freshmen undecided onamajor, and other studentsfwhowish to change their majors, canattend a seriesjoi informationalsessions, each conducted by threeor four juniors and seniors fromvarious majors to learn about thecollege offerings.

A session will be held tonightMarch 1st at | 7:00 p.m. inMcAuley lounge for LawEnforcement.

Also, President Shane ismeeting with small-groups ofMercyhurst Students onan informal basis to obtain theirperceptionsfof the school. Thefirst gathering pfei heldFebruarv6th in Baldwin Hall.

01 youth, I would ask that theynever be apathetic and that theyseek revolution whenevernecessary. My only fear w ould bedestruction before ac-complishment. The dea r wouldnot bind my sail though - I'd stillrace with the wind. And when theicy waters melted and spring, theseason of rebirth came,I too

would be reborn with an evenstronger sail! * I $

f Upt urnIn Job Market

P A i survey of companies andgovernment agencies that expectto hire college graduates thisyear indicates that now, notsometime after graduation inJune.jjs when seniors should bestartingto look for jobs, ?

The survey, -conducted byChanging Times magazine andreleased February l, shows thatdespite an upturn in the jobmarket for new graduates, theday when they could wait forcorporate recruiters to come tothem is still justa memory.- 1& Replies from more than 100companies indicate that seniorswho do get started earlyshouldfind good demand for their services in most major disciplines.Personnel officers responding tothe survey described a widerange of jobs throughout thecountry. |

72 of the organizations haveor expect to Shave jobs for newengineering graduates. Thespecialties needed includeaeronautical, chemical, civil ,electrical, geological, industrialand mechanical engineering,among others.

59 want business andmarketing maj ors! for jobs insales, management, planning andotherareas. f

48 have vari ed openings|foraccountants.

-40 want science ormathematics majors forresearch, development and othertechnical positions.

30 have jobs for liberal artsmajorsin a varietyol fields.W 22 -say they're looking forgraduates | with suchmiscellaneous specialties as

computer programming, graphic-

ar t s , health, communications,advertising, f |

The closer an applicant'srecord and goals match thecompany's needs, the more likelyhe or she is to get the job.

Who is the ideal candidate? Acomposite picture drawn friromthe comments of personnel officers who participated in thesurvey shows a graduate withthese shining chara cteristic s:

Good grades. Companies stillput a premiumon them. i If

Plenty of extracurricularactivit ies. Participation incampus affairs demonstrates anability to get along with others. S

Work experience. Ideally,this means summer or part-timework in a field related to the oneyou want to enter.

Willingness to relocate.Companies try to assign workerswhere they're needed most. Aapplicant who's willing to take aposition somewhere away fromhome is likely to stay in therunning longer than someone lessflexible. f

Clear job objective.Applicants who know what theywant to do tend to make a betterimpression than thosewho don't.$

The Changing Timessurvey isdesigned-to help graduates gettheir job hunts off the ground andincludes names and addresses ofcompanies that indicated theyhave openings.

Graduating seniors tempted toput this off, better not. The earlybirds have their job-huntingcampaigns rolling alread y.

In the past there has beenrather superficial measurestaken by the federal and state

government to rebuild areas ofPresque Isle where it was absolutely! necessary. Becausethese measures have beentemp orary, ther Peninsula isgradually being destroyed.

Unless substantial measures aretaken" to save the "Peninsula, itwill no longer be a recreationaland financial resour ceoi Erie.

The St. Thomas Moore^Club,through its forum,hopes .to inform the Erie Community aboutthe problems concerning PresqueIsle and to be a cata lyst in unitingthe people of the are a in an effortto save the Peninsula. It is onlythrough a mass show of concernthat the Government will act insaving the Presque Isle. Anyone

SAPPHOP o e tI Sings

Of Nature!AndlLoveLike dictators and politicians,

poets have been known to treatwar and patriotism as>noblethemes in their writing. Sappho,however, spoke of| the moreuniversal themes of nature andlove. Personal, emotional,graceful, her poetry moves anaudience with ima ges foundin themidst of war as well as in thehaven ofpeace. *

Sappho composed her poetryduring the firsttwo decadesoi thesixth century B.C. on the Greekisland of Lesbos. T he poet traine dyoung women in her art whilewriting songs in honorI ofAphrodite for choruses of girls toperform at weddings andfestivals.! f

In her descriptions of love,Sappho * deals | withI- both theviolence of passionateglove andthe gentleness offcaffection between friends and fondness of jamother for her child. Images offecundity and energy flowers,honey,|fire f recur throughout

the wedding songs and lovepoems. Sappho also conveys theexcitement oflove:

Without warningAs a whirlwind

f by Susan Weiner | | 8

swoopson an oak | ^ | |Love shakes my he art.B |

Sapphogteases, reprimands,and praises hei friends andprotegeesm poetry, calling one ofthem ^monkey face ." Complimenting a lriend. Sappho wrote

You remind meOfa very gentle

Jlittle girl I once ?Jwatched picking flowers.

Fondness for her| daughterCleis shines through the lineswhich describe the girl as being"like a golden flower" and whichdeclare

I wouldn't?take all Croesus' Jkingdom with love |thrownin, for her.

In her treatment of nature,Sappho personifies jdawn, stars,and night in creative images. Forexample, % i

Standing by my bedIn gold sandals

Ipawn that verymoment awoke me.Sappho explains that! stars

appear less brightin a sky with alull moon since thev "cover their

own bright faces" in aweol thesplendor ol the silver disc. Thepoet trans'forms fine fact thaipeople become drowsy!ing theevening with a metap hor,'Nightrained her thick darksleep."> g

Besides composing on thethemes of! love and nature,Sappho also wrote about*pa in.loneliness, and conflicts withinherself, with others, and w ith thegoddess of love. All her poemsdisplay ! the characteristics oicandidness, simplicity, andvividness. ^ |

Sappho's poetry obviously doesnot enjoy a wide audience today .the general public does not appreciate her style and might evenridicule those who read her. Buttake heart, dear reader, forSapphoffurnishes an answer tothose who may* tease you forreading her lyrics?

We shall enjoy it?As for him who findsfault, may sillinessand sorrow takehim!

(Quotations were takeniromSappho: A New Translation byMary B arnard. iUniversity oiCalifornia* Pres s, Berkeley and

.Mercyhurst needs a PhysicalEducation complex for its ownuse. Realizing the ever growingnecessity for such a building, Dr.Shane recently formed a taskforce to discuss the philosopy andobjectives of physical education.Basically,this group is to provideinput concerning exactly what isneeded by Mercyhurst in astructure used for recreationalpurposes. Therefore the purposeoff this article is to present anopinion as to what I feel should betaken into strong consideration;concerning the size, in relation toseating capacity, for thisbuilding. . *

Our entire Athletic program israpidly growingin size. With thisgrowth fit | is becoming increasingly difficult to fund eachof our specific sports in additionto f our various intramurals.Solution build af physicaleducation complex,with enoughsize and capacity,so that it can berented to other interests; therebygenerating revenucJaHow large

should the building be? Personally, I feel a center that couldseat approximately7,ooo peoplewouldbe satisfactory.

I have many" reasons for thisopinion. Mercyhurst seem s to beheadingin the direction when, oneday, we will be playing a big timesm all; college basketballschedule. Here I am speaking ofcompetition with teams such asFairmont State, Eau Claire,Kentucky State, Ashland, etc..Scheduling teamsoi this staturecannot be accomplished unlessthere I is an adequate placeavailable to play; which meansbeing able to seat crowds in theneighborhood oi 6,uuu to 7,000people. Why? People are willingto pay good money to see toprated teams perform. Hence, youcan see how revenue may begenerated. |

This facility will sit almostvacant during the summer

months.^ Now we can entertainthe possibility of holding conventionsin our buildingand on ourcampus (using our vacant dormsand apartments as living quarters). Thus wethave anothermeans of filtering income throughthe gates. t

Here arepossibilities:

some 1 other

The possibility of holdingdouble header basketball gamesand holiday tournam ents.

The possibility! of having aplace to hold large concerts anddances. %

The possibility ol holdingbanquets and large receptions.

The possibility of having circuses and fairs. M

The practical advantage ofhaving Graduation on campus(indoors) and more. |

As a sidelight, not only doesMercyhurst need a largerecreationalcenter, but theentirecity of Erie needs a large civiccenter of sorts..' By making ourfacility available to various Erieinterests, Mercyhurst couldbecome more exposed to thecommunity and wouldbe-lookedto asjthe hubjol activity in theSfe I X H >

You can readily see: that thisfacility could definitely be usedto our financial advantage. Alongwith the physical complexitself,something else is needed for themoney making motive to succeed. An intelligent prom otercoordinator to oversee the activities of the premises.J Hisfunction would include schedulingevents, setting up contracts,

advertising the availability of thefacility and most important,handling the revenues. His title-Assistant Athletic D irector.~M

Because of the positionI hold onthis subject, I can see in thehorizon an argument involving

this basic question, "What aboutthe students?" This problem issolved by the assistant A.D.. Heshould Schedule events for thefacility with the primary intention of letting the studentsreceive the maximumIpossibleuse of this facility. Basically thismeans that intramurals, classes,

and students free time use of thisfacility should in no way conflictwith an outside schedule ofevents. He must keep one basicrule in his mind - students come,first, revenue making prospectsare secondary. The beauty of myposition| is th at events can bescheduled so that students mayattend and be exposed to sometype oft learning experience.Keeping the concept of 'studentscome first" and the above stat-ment in$ mind the task ofbudgeting the time for the use ofour facility becomes much easierto handle.

To close this commentary, I'dlike to make another point concerning the name gi\en to thisedifice. One important theorymust be keep in mind. A namethat is catchy and can be readilyassociated to MercyhurstCollege. It must attra ct immediate attention as anA-i placefor activity-A couple of suchname & that have crossedJthiswriter's mind are: Presque IslePavillion, ^Mercyhurst AthleticConvocation Center, Mercyhurst-Erie Civic Arena.| *

This is a personal opinion andas I said before I thinkit shouldbe given consideration. However,the college andthe task force onphysical education need someinput, such as mine, from other

peopleJin the Mercyhurst 4community. Please feel free tocommenton this article orsubmityour own ideas. If this is done, aphysical education building thatis beneficial to everyone canbecome a reality.

1930S SPORTS

For the more athletic-mindedMercyhurst girls, the schoolprovided an active sportsprogram after 1930. One of thefirst sports was field hockey,Iwhich was played behind thepresent outdoor tennis courts, onthe area now called Tullio Field.

The first field hockey gamewas against Edinboro and Mercyhurst lost 5 - 0. Girls basketballwas started in1930 also.Scoresofthose first games in1930-31 were :

A real athletic rivalrydeveloped with Edinboro and by1931, the m otto of the College was"Beat Edinboro.". The 1931 FieldHockey game with Edinboro wasconsidered so important that itwas played in the newly builtAcademy Stadium, which seatedover 10,000 people. There are norecords ofhow many people werepresent as Edinboro beat Mercyhurst once again by the samescore of the previousyearns - 0.The second basketball season wasan improvement over the firstone, as the girlswon four and lostfive under "Coach Miss Heil."The scores of the1931 - 32 seasonindicate that the 'Hurst was

better on defense than on offenseas they never scored moretha n 2points, andonce only scored7^

It wasn't until1936 that Mercyhurst really arrived as an athleticpower. In that year, the 'Hurstbeat Edinboro in field hockey forthe first time , and then followedup by defeating them inbasketball 45 - 22 before a jammedhouse in the Mercyhurst gym.Thirty-six years later, in1972,Mercyhurst beat Edinboro againonly this time it was the Mercyhurst maleswho won the gamesomething which the'Victors-oi1936' would have found hard toimagine! |

Besides field hockey andbasketball, the College sponsored

tennis activity.J on courts
