The 'Rights' of Spring - Last week, the first day of the new season lived up to its name, as thetemperature hit the 60's. These Sesler student residents took advantage of the super weather byparticipating in outdoor activities, such as lounging around outside listening to music, rapping andcelebrating with a little brew' - just to be sociable, you understand. It was so peaceful, youcouldn't even hear a Parade St. boulevard neighbor say anything. Eg I T**.popular votehistorv. iM u s k i eunsuccessfully

by Vicki MartinagoI MSG is in itiatin g ia newtradition for the 'Hurst with'itsspecial plans for an "ActivityDay" to emphasize both socialand learning experiences outsidethe college classroom. The eventis planned for May 16 with araindate set for May 18.The idea for? a "fun day"originated in the Baldwin dormand MSG built on the suggestionin order to iprovide a moralebooster for * the 'Hurst com-munity. J "< \MSG .President Mike Hellerpresented a formal proposalconcerning the "Activity Day" toDean Millar and the divisionchairpers ons, and it w asunanim ously' accepted. Accor-ding to Heller, for the event to

succeed it needs the support ofadministration, faculty andstudents. He hopes to involve thevarious organizations within thecollege such as campus ministry,Egan scholars, PACE ami theyearbook staff. \The tentative afternoonschedule for the "Activity Day"includes a blue grass band, icecream social and bingo, alongwith athletic activities such asvolleyball , backgammon andSoftball tournaments. Plans arebeing arranged for an eveningbarbeque and an outdoorpresentation of theRocky HorrorPicture Show. The organizedactivities will be stretched outover the entire day beginningwith coffee and donuts in1 themorning, numerous afteroonactivities and concluding withseveral night events.

J An example of a moreacademic learning experienceduring the day would involvefaculty, administration orstudent demonstrations in aspecific field of interest. MSGrepresentatives will be con-tacting faculty members con-cerning possible special interestpresentations while the officerswill solicit the skill within theadministration. \"It's been set up for all toparticipate and to show that the'Hurst is really a personalcampus. We want to make this atradition at the college," Hellerstated.Posters and fliers with ad-ditional ^information will beavailable in additionJ to astructured program of activitiesfor the 'Hurst community in theupcoming weeks.

PAGE 2 THE MERCIAD MARCH 30,1979

Maine ManNot bad Mercyhurst. LandingSen. Edmund Muskie for thisyear's commencement address ispretty good fishing.Muskie was an interestingpolitical figure a while back.When he ran for president in 72in the Democratic primary,* hewas built - strictly for mediapurposes - as an "Abe Lincolntype." Not a sure-fire image tolive up to, as he soon found out.The senator from Maine maywell be the Charlie Brown ofpolitics. He's a likeable personwith an interesting personalitynot dynamic, mind you, butrather mildly amusing -who wasunable to win the "big one."He was an ideal choice for thelate Hubert Humphrey in 1968 asa running mate. The two politicalfigures complemented each otherwell in terms of their genuineliberal labels. The I team lost tothe infamous Nixon-Agnew, whorose to power only because of thetragic manner in which PresidentLyndon Johnson, a Democrat,handled the war in Vietnam.Unfortunately Humphrey andMuskie were of Johnson's partyand suffered politically. It's safeto say that they would have beenthe "lesser of the two evils" tohave voted into the White Houseover a decade ago.But again nice going Mer-cyhurst. The class of '79 gets tohear a one-time heavyweight

political figure who was the firstPolish-American contender forthe presidency. He is not acharismatic speaker, but hebeats having to listen to a Boardof trustee member-or Lou Tu llioArts Need HelpJoe Pizzat would like a $10"artistic events" fee tacked on tothe bills of 'Hurst students. Is itjustifiable? Yes, when you

consider that we have to pay $10for a sticker to park "legally" oncampus and - even more absurd -dish out an extra $15 for thatmiscellaneous fee. Why notanother ten spot... ?Personally I don't get intoballet and orchestras, but I knowpeop le! who do. And if thoseevents elude college life, anothervoid will be created - and moretime will be left for people "withnothing to do - no place to go."When a department seeks oursupport we should respond it'snot easy to respond immediatelyin terms of dollars, but the 'Hurstart department is worth it. Theyhave always maintained an|Timage of respect for the type ofentertainment they offered to notonly the college community, butto area residents as well.At!last week's MSG meeting aquorum wasn't reached on whataction, if any, to take on Pizzat'sproposal. He has my vote.Phasing Out.- Little hints tell me that it's thattime of the academic year whenseniors are. slowly, but surely,beginning to be phased out.Consider all the excitement ofcommencement, MSG an-nouncing the date for electingnext year's student governmentofficers, and4the Merciad sear-ching every nook and cranny fora new editor (no one has appliedyet - but we all knew that wasgoing to happen, didn't we?)

Certainly the administrationdoesn't have much need forseniors anymore. They realize wewon't be back in September to getstuck with that mammothcombination fall and intercessiontuition bill.We're a commodity of the past -like hula hoops and Koehler beer.|; But we" 11 propose a toast togetting out of here come June 3.

Staff SpeakoutHad I known . . .If I had known about 'thissooner, I wouldn't have come to

Mercyhurst right away. First Iwould have gone to a cheap statecollege and received a degreeand then I would have come to theHurst.According to the AdultEducation Office, if you alreadyhave a degree, you only pay halfof the tuition costs at M ercyhurst.Now they tell me. I should havegotten a degree in basketweavingfrom the State University of NewYork (where it would have costme peanuts) and then come hereto get my "real" degree. Then,

instead of spending over $11thousand, it would have cost me alittle over five. And each time thetuition went up - while those''first-t imers''. would be facedwith a $100 increase - I'd onlyhave to pay $50.It would have been really neat.A good part of my tuition wouldhave been covered by all theother students. It all goes into the"general fund" anyway so whocares?>I could have received a reallycheap education.Had I known . . . SueFuss

If this isdone, my request for artisticevent funds would come from theadditional monies the StudentGovernment obtains.Briefly, the reasons for thisrequest include:1. The Middle States evaluationreport of 1975 was critical' ofMercyhurst College in the area ofour cultural climate and eventsofferings.2. The Division has grown anddeveloped to the point whereMercyhurst is considered "TheCollege for the Arts" in our area.We have kthe professional staff,curricula, and the physicalfacilities to make this statement.3. Research indicates that the"1980's will be the decade for theArts." For example:

.a. The Federal Governmenthas appointed Dr. Gene Wenneras Arts Education Coordinator onthe national level. Dr. Wennerwas formerly with the Penn-sylvania State Arts Council.b. A recently releasedRockefeller Report entitled"Coming to Our Senses" hasgreat arts implications: on anational scope.c. A 1975 Harris poll'indicated89 per cent of the nation'spopulation felt that "the arts areimportant to their quality of life."Despite this evidence many,many college students in theUnited States can get an un-dergraduate degree without evertaking an arts course or par-taking of artistic events such asseeing a live ballet, hearing a liveorchestra, or attending a theatreperformance or attending an artexhibit, etc.Also, Carnegie CommissionReport on Higher Educationstates "A majority of collegestudents surveyed (100,000)expressed the opinion that their

campuses did not have sufficientopportunities for their creativeexpression or growth.." jMany scholars and leaders inthe higher education fields feelthat the small liberal artscolleges, such as Mercyhurst,can play a significant role ininvolving students in the artsexperience. I'd say we have anobligation to do this.There has been a great need atour college for the developmentof a systematic, rational and fairapproach to securing. and a p-propriating funds for the ArtsEvents here at MercyhurstCollege. There is a need for aninterested group of individuals togive continuity, order andorganization to what appears tohave been a haphazard approachto our cultural events and ac-tivities. . The proposal presentedto our Student Government at-tempts to do this. SincerelyJoseph Pizzat, ChairmanCreative Arts Division

Trends in enrollment figures inhigher education - directly tied topopulation statistics - indicate apeak in undergraduateenrollment in 1982 and declinethereafter. ^A 1978 AKPA study projectedthat the number of both un-dergraduate and graduate ac-counting degrees would increaseat a higher rate than generalenrollments through 1982 andwould continue to show a steadygrowth trend at least through1990 (the end point of the study.)What that m eans to institutionssuch as Mercyhurst is a readymarket of individuals seeking aquality program to fulfill theeducational requirements of theircareer objectives.At Mercyhurst, over \ the lastthree years accounting majorshave grown 300 per cent on thestrength of what is happening inthe classroom and the placementopportunities. Seniors have beenhired by large public accountingfirms, government agen cies andmore.With Co-Op Education,students in the program have thechance to get an insider's view ofthe job market and to have theirprofessional skills before thatsenior year marathon, to obtain aplacement.The }< 'Hurst accountingdepartment currently has ninestudents working in the Co-Opprogram.

"The resultsof my visits with the employersshow that all "the students arebeing treated as professionalswith responsibilities similar tothose of permanent, full-timeemployees," she said."Mercyhurst is making a realimpact out there in the jobmarket thanks to the enthusiasticparticipation of the co-opstudents," Longo added. "I'mimpressed to see how fast theprogram has gotten off theground. Employers are nowcalling us and that only meansmore opportunities for ourstudents; opportunities thatextend all over the State in allsorts of industries and with thefederal government. And we aregoing to see exciting things backhere on-campus as these studentsreturn and bring their ex-periences into the classroom."

Tour Psychby W.D. "Bud" Prize \The Laker tennis team hasreturned from its spring tour wellprepared to defend the District 18title it presently owns. iAlthough the team's record-was 2-5, this statistic was decep-tive. Three of the squads faced*by Mercyhurst were perennialpowerhouses in Eastern tennis.Also, all the teams had playedbetween ten and thirteen mat-ches outdoors before the Blueand Green passed through.Added to the fact that the'HurstP had to travel each day,these circumstances proved ahigh barrier for the men to climb.Wins and losses aside, manypositive aspects were realizedduring the trip. "First, and mostimportantly, we got outside andacclimated to the sun and wind,"Coach Dennis Ranalli said.This is especially importantsince the Lakers are the onlyDistrict 18 team to have playedoutdoors so far this year."Secondly, the doubles playimproved significantly, as teamsbegin to gel," R analli pointed out,and added that the team "gotused to pressure play andbecame match sharp."The trip began on a rough note -with Mercyhurst losing a tight 5-4decision to Citadel. Close mat-ches once again proved theirundoing - as either vof the two

close singles losses would haveturned the trick for the Lakers.The second day proved nobetter, as the College ofCharleston bumped the 'Hurst forthe second straight year, 7-2.Bright spots were Andy F indlayand Paul Spies at first doubles -making a very strong per-formance - losing to the top teamof Charleston 7-6,7-6 in one of thebest played doubles matches ofthe trip. Also positive was the rise

of Tom Chybrzynski's game - ashe fired his way to an easy vic-tory at number four singles, 7-5,6-2. j iAfter a rainout at CoastalCarolina, the next stop wasPresbyterian College - for ashowdown with the team that tiedthe 'Hurst for eighth place at thenational tournament last year.The bug of close losses bit again,as three hotly contested matchesfell to the Blue Hose. Blue Hose?Phil Dubsky's third singlesmatch became quite emotionalwhen he called for a line judge,and a Presbyterian fan was sentdown to preside. At 3-5 againstDubsky, a critical break pointline call was contested, and agame Dubsky thought he had wonwas ruled deuce. Not to bedenied, he saved several matchpoints and won the game to bringthe second set to 4-5 on his serve.His opponent came on strong,though, and won the next game toclinch the match 6-3, 6-4 and theteam match 6-3 for Presbyterian.Spies scored his second win inthree tries, disposing of his maneasily at number six singles.Dave LaFuria came on strong,winning his first singles match 6-0 in the third set at number five.At 0-3, the 'Hurst turned to avery good High Point team,hungry for its first | victory.Findlay led a charge that spreadthrough the team as he wiped outthe opposition's number one man6-1, 6-1. With the exception ofLaFuria's loss at second singlesand Paul and Steve Spies drop-ping a close one at third doubles,the Hilltoppers cleared the decksfor a 7-2 win.Dubsky and Findlay won a atfirst doubles, eliminating a teamwhich did well at the nationalslast year. Ravinder Sabherwalgarnered his first victory of the

trip and earned himself theChinese dinner he's been askingfor.
