done as a matter of course; noone in authority needed their armtwisted. This is iimportantbecause students (throughrepresentation) were providedwith a part tin the decision-making process jwOn January 16 the MERCIAD(the college newspaper) con-ducted a survey to determine stu-dent opinion on the football issu e.A stratified sampling of on-campus residents was randomlyselected to participate in thesurvey. Seventy-nine percent ofthe 100 students interviewed sup-ported; the recommendation bythe task force to implement aDivision III football team at Mer-cyhurst. In attempt to get a fairrepresentative opinion. Thesurvey used a sixty female to for-ty male ratio (reflecting our cur-rent enrollment status as ac-curately as possible). fOnlytwenty-one percent of thosesurveyed did not support therecommendation at that time.The student government wasalso involved in gathering stu-dent opinion on football. In earlyFebruary they conducted a ver-bal survey, which included com-muters as well as residentstudents. Of the 258 surveyed,136, or S3 per cent supported theimplementation of a team in 1981.One-hundred and eight, or 42 percent feel 1982 would make for abetter season. Therefore, two-hundred and forty four, or 94 percent expressed some sort offavorab le; response to football.Fourteen or 5.42 per cent remain-ed indifferent.The results of these surveys areavailable to the administration.In fact, the adm inistration is wellaware of these results already.They are also aware of a studentpetit ion^ which advoc atedpostponing the program for oneyear to prevent hasty decisions.In conclusion, I would like toadd that any student who wouldtake advantage of the delicateand emotional decision to releaseour basketball coach, in order toperpetrate what is fobviouslytheir own! personal vendettaagainst the football program, Isnot very admirable.

X,

Random notes . . .This is the time where we seelong lines forming from variousoffices on the first floor of OldMain. 'S tudents- are in thebusiness office getting thingssquared away, while others ar e inthe registrar's office getting th ecourses they want for next term.Well, perhaps^not getting al lthe courses they want, bu t thathappens in any college, whetherthe enrollment is 500 o r 50.000.That cannot be eliminated. Whatca n be eliminated a re abuses ofthe registration system. I've beenat Mercyhurst less than one year,bu t I've already heard of manyinstances" involving fs tudentsregistering before their initialalloted registration time, e-

One instance in particularpoints out the flaws in the pres entsystem. This on e instance in-volves a student whom I am ad-visor to . This student, who is asophomore,!came to my officeTuesday morning \ a t approx-imately 8:45 to tell me th at one ofthe courses that we had decidedupon was closed. This in itself isnot anyone's fault. However, thisstudent has a roommate who isalso a sophomore. Sophomoresare supposedly no t allowed toregister until a certain time. Thiscertain time, tin th e case ofsophomores; registering for Spr-ing Term, began Tuesday morn-ing a t 8:30. This advisee informedme that the roommate previous-ly nmHHWifca wa*?rbTe to regfsteffor th e same course during th etime normally reserved fo rseniors an d juniors. Apparentlyth e * sophomore w as able toregister with th e seniors an djuniors because this person wasfriends with a worker in theregistra r's office. |I can trust the word of my ad-visee, and this is not the only suchinstance I a m aware of. All I'msaying here is that when it saysregistration for seniors a ndjuniors, th e only students thatshould be registered a re seniors

and juniors. That's not asking fortoo much. iy U.AH A local wag on campus made acomment to me recently about anitem that appeared in thispaper's column "That's BarelyCredible" a few weeks ago. Hi eitem I refer to is one that ques-tioned the integrity of intramuralbasketball referees wh o play inthe same league as the gamesthey officiate. This person askedme whether - t h e int ramuralorganization should enlist the ser-vices of someone else, such as ablind person or two. The point iswell taken when on e considersthat there just aren't that manypeople around interested in doingsuch a job. In many instances,there a re more officiating spotsthan th ere ar e officials. And, as aparticipant in the program, Iwould just like to add that, fromwhat J I've ? seen, the studentreferees do as good of a job as youcould as k from students of-ficiating their peers .W jf%g?& The jury is still out on the Punx-utawney Phil vs. Buckeye Chucksaga.

MARCH 6, 1981 THC MERCrAD '* PAGMen's BasketballSeason B rightened By BrownDespite 10-16 Record jPH^ffSome say the Lakers drownedin Lake Erie; others say theschedule was too tough; andothers have remarked that theprogram, as is,lis not strongenough to compete at such a highlevel as the NCAA div.II. Butwhichever way one looks at the

results of the ,10-16 season, onemust refer to a young man calledDanny Brown who wrote hisname in records books and addedcolor and flair to a not-much-more-than miserable year.Among the highlights of"Downtown" Danny's last cam-paign was his leadership in ascintillating victory over localrival Gannon University, 59-58.With eight seconds remaining inthe game, Danny lobbed in one ofhis special ceiling-teasers to givethe Laurels of this annual barn-burner to the 'Hurst. In the Audigame, Brown was part of a teamthat outfoxed the coach whorecruited him to the school-on-the-hill, Dick Fox. "That's whatseniors are for," remarked theex-Laker mentor, "to put the ballin the bucket when it most counts.Danny destroyed us!"" hecontinued.But Danny was active in defeatas w e l l a s v i c t or y . A tWestminster, for instance, hedazzled the fans with some amaz-ing shots as the Lakers wentdown 86-78 in overtime. TheZany*Brown earned a standingovation when he fouled out of thegame . . . he had the fans shriek-ingA with delight stated theNewcastle" Nfiws arrer trie IflSS.a Mercyhurst's lone seniorentered third position on the All-Time Scoring Chart with 1021points - an 11.7 career average.Also, Danny earned themost con-secutive games played record;streaking 82 games from 11-28-78to 2-23-81. *Following his graduation inMay, "Downtown plans eitherto accept a "tempting offer" tofilay ball in South America or toInk up with the family restaurantbusiness in Los Angeles.One man who is not consideringthese two exotic choices is GregBecker. The Cumberland, Md.,native-was the team's top re-bounder, grabbing 268 loose ballsfor a 10.3 average. Becker wasthe number one 'Hurst man onthe boards on 20 outings, occa-sionally appearing on the na-tional (NCAA DID chart.Becker will be one of sixseniors next year. The other Aveare all Dan O'Connor recruits, jjjGuard Bob Blackwell has beengroomed to take over for Brown.He showed his credibility againstEdinboro when he sunk a healthy27 points and in a 73-68 victory.Doug Birchard had a mixedyear, but he gave us a glimpse ofwhat he hopes to produce nextseason when he collected 23points in the 87-72 win over Pitt-Bradford. :. . jBugged by a leg injury in thelatter half of the year, Paul Quinnproved his value In December.Against Point Park, the 6-3 Pitts-burgher garned 22 countersalthough the Blue and Green lost80-67. Versus Old Westbury,Quinn's 17 points helped theLakers to a 62-61 edge.In critical situations JamieBorowicz was a clutch player forthe 'Hurst. Take the Alliancegame for example; in the over-tune period Borowicz stole thewin dropping a two-pointer from

an interception with only l:08 re-maining. Blackwell and Bir-chard, garnering; 14 pointsapiece, led the scoring in the 72-71triumph. s/^Sometimes, particularly whendefeat is imminent, a coach isable to find a lot of court time forhis back up players. For Mercy-hurst. the seldom-used BillyHall was 17 point high scorer inthe 93-65 Central State defeat,and then the guard from Oil Citybecame an intergral part of themainstays in the f remaininggames. '*>Sophomores, Darrell Grafius,Tom Frank, and Nate Morganeach | gained some importantplaying time this year and shouldnow have earned enough ex-perience to master the boards inthe next campaign. JFreshmen Eric Peek and Mar-vin Williams have bothj beencredited to have the talent.tobecome Ail-Americans. Andthere were moments this seasonwhe the duo showedflashes hatthis dream could come true oneday. However, freshman statuslimited their playing time thisyear. Nevertheless, much is ex-pected from them in 1981-82.Proving that Erie area basket-ball is a bonanza for the localfans, the 'Hurst won three out offive of its closest games againstlocal teams. Tripping bothBehrend and Gannon by identicalscores (59-58) was a treat for thespectators and then, of course,there was the Alliance one pointwin.On a trip to the "Big Apple" theLakers fell to New York Tech78-64, but bounced back a daylater to conquer Old Westbury bya single point, fin the f long-forgotten Hartwick tourneyO'Connor's men slipped by theU.S. Merchant Marine 80-78, butlost to the host team in the final

66-61. | I J- JBgBjH JTwo other victories round outthe Laker win column: SlipperyRock waslcrushed 81-66 andWheeling was destroyed 93-68.But there were defeats; and thelosses seemed to lump out of theschedule like fish out of LakeErie. W& * |Pitt-Johnstown, Central State,and Point Park each clobberedthe Blue and Green twice; andout of the defeats not mentionedthus far, Behrend, Buff; State,Clarion, Edinboro, Indiana, ndSt. Vincent, each turned theLakers around once, s i s?A new season will bring a newcoach. Dan O'Connor dedicatedthree long years to Mercyhurst'sbasketball program in thecapacity of head coach. O'Con-nor's three year record was 86-46,commencing with a 15-12 chart,then an 11-8 record and now 10-16."The search for a new coachwill take at least a month."remarked Dr. Michael J. Cusack,director of physical developmentand athletics. "Advertisementshave been place both locally andnationally and it is hoped that thesuccessful applicant will be an-nounced in early {April," con-tinued Cusack. m | Next year's campaign mayseem a long time away, jj butbasketball is an all year roundsport. Outside the regular seasona lot has to be done, conditioning,recruiting, scouting and planningfor example. And two enter-rising young men will no longera part of the Laker* program':'*But Mercyhurst's two Dan's willbecome legends at The 'Hurst.Danny B's bombs from ha Ifcourtand Danny O's unyielding dedica-tion in search of class and victorywill not be forgotten. The Mer-ciad extends its wish for con-tinued successful careers for bothDan Brown and Dan O'Connor.

EGAN SCHOLARS:THE INTRAMURALLEAGUE CHAMPS!

Lady Lakers jClose SeasonOn W inning Note JBJIife^| bv Jack Bour J Bfj ffiSB I | ^g! Last Tuesday night in the campus center the Lady Lakeri,' closed their season on a successful note beating visitin$ Allegheny College 75-71 in a thrilling double-overtime|j contest. I I t W I 4 'M The 'Hurst started off quickly taking control in the earlys ta ge s of the game and enjoyed a comfortable halftime ad-I vantage of 37-29. The Gators Battled back to grab a two-poi(advantage in the waning minutes of play until freshmanE laine Cross responded to the challenge by hitting a buckeI to tie the score at 63-63. K S C S B X i H S J ~iMt The Gators struck back to take the lead in the first overI time only to have the score knotted at 67-67 thanks to a pairr free-throws by sophomore Trish Mahoney, whose 37 pointsI led all scores. 33 1- ^g I1 The star of the second overtime was fresh ma n LisaI Jacobitz who with the score tied at 71-71, grabbed one of he119 rebounds and went back up to score what proved to be tha winning bucket. ." ~ -f I i ^ 1 Along with Mahoney's 37 points, the Lady Lakers receive a fine performance from freshman Elaine Cross who pumpeKin 16 points. Allegheny was led by Terri Stigelmyer andI Sharie Mason who scored 19 points ap iece. f li v1 lied by senior co-captain Tina Tomczak the Lady Lakers finished their rebuilding season at 5 and 14 with a Keystonea Conference record of 3 and 4. Next season the girls will retur ll players who hope to show what difference a year makes2 Witn her 37 points performance Trish Mahoney, who hold1 the school scoring record of 45 vs. Villa Maria, set the secon| highest scoring total ever recorded by a Laker, male or1 female (better than that ex-Laker great Jesse Campbell) With two years left at the 'Hurst she is almost a sure bet t1 top the l.ooo points plateau for her career. I **gff Freshmen Elaine Cross, Lisa Jacobitz, Peggy RothauserE and Patti Winiarczyk put in a long difficult season under th8 boards, going against much taller competition, and shouldI fare much better next season with the first year now underL their belts. '& 2 t .,_.; All in all it wasn't a bad season for the Lady Lakers as therebuilt for next year's season. Returning will be a freshmanand two sophomores. This should give coach Rhonda Carlssome depth in the line up as she prepares for next year.Suffering through their tragic mid-season losing streak,the girls bounced Dack to win their last two games. Maybethis signifies a brighter future as the Lady LakersJook forward to next seasonT c **"'" S*^^ ,^ i" : "" * **
