By Carta AndersonMERCIAD Assistant EditorRonald Reagan, president of

the United States, telephonedDr. William P. Garvey, Mer-cyhurst president, on Thurs-day, April 28r -

Reagan called to commendDr. Garvey on the college'sMercyhurst * Career Institute(MCI) which offers a solutionto unemployment and jobretraining.

"No"other school offers a

full year of college for free onsuch a unique and wide scale,*'said Garvey,

The MCI program beganApril 18 and offers certificatetraining in six occupational

< « :

skills. Forty-three people arecurrently enrolled, and morepeople will begin classes thissummer, according to Dr.Garvey. The center will retrain200 unemployed people fornew careers in the next year.

Reagan said the programjustified his., hopes that the

American people would takethe challenge to retrainthemselves," said Garvey."He said it vindicated hisbelief that the American peo-

ple are|self-reliant enough topull themselves through thistime of high unemployment,"Garvey recalled.

Reagan called the collegethree times-before he reached

Dr. Garvey. The first time hecalled, Dr. Garvey wasn't inthe office. The second time,Dr. Garvey was viewing part ofthe baseball game at the field.44When I was told that thePresident was trying to reachme, I thought it was a joke,"said Dr. Garvey. "It was quitea surprise to m e."

DrJGarvey said, "As soonas I heard that voice, I knew itwas the* President." Dr.Garvey feels J that Reagan is

"warm and vibrant." "Iunderstand now why he is call-ed the great communicator. Itis his greatest asset," addedGarvey. £ «•£ |K *

Director. CoachGarry Cordes, former directorof the Criminal Justice depart-ment, resigned late last week for"personal reasons," according toAcademic Dean Dr. DavidPalmer. *

The resignation, which becameeffective Monday, May 2 at 9:00a.m., was prompted by the healthof Cordes* wife, Palmer said.

With only three weeks left inthe term, Dr. Palmer said that hewill direct the department, work-ing closely with the other CriminalJustice faculty members,,-ratherthan appoint an interim depart-ment director. During the sum-mer, a department head will benamed, Palmer said.

Cordes was teaching only oneclass this term , which will now be

taught by John Nee, along withtwo internships, which will betaken over by Ray Fiynt or PeterBenekos, of the Criminal Justicefaculty. ,t K

His*bther'job as head of thebaseball team will be assumed therest of the season by Fred Congerfirst assistant football coach andPhysical Education Instructor.

Palmer doesn't see this disrup-tion as having any negative effectson the students, especially as Cor-des already had much of his classmaterial prepared.

"I think the transition will bequite smooth," Palmer said...> There should be "very little in-

terruption in academics," Palmeradded. .* I

Incumbent editor Donna Peter-son said, "The Assistant Editorposition is an important one in theorganization of TheMerciad, pro-viding support, high technicalcompetency, and managerialskills. Martha has all of thesequalities and more."

On Taking A ChanceSome short take s../The 1983-84 editorial leaders off the MERCIAD were

chosen last week and will assume management of thenewspaper in mid-May. The new Editor and Assistant Editor,

Carla Anderson and Martha Camp respectively, both possessthe drive, the ambition, and the talent to produce an A-lpublication with a well-trained, well-supervised staff.

As the two new editors already realize, it is not easy to writeand design a weekly newspaper and expect to please each andevery one of the more than 2,000 readers. But they knew thatwhen they applied for their posts and didn't let it discouragethem. For anyone entering a new position, the MSG officersfor example, the support of the college is so important. Whatthey do can only become better if the community offers feed-back, both positive and negative. As one academic year closesand another goes into the planning stages, everyone shouldtake notice of the new student Jeadership core and let themknow what you think.

The success off the sellout David Brenner concert last Satur-day night must be credited to the dedicated efforts;of theMSG reps who worked for months on the event. The ticketsales, publicity, stage, lighting, audio, and coordinating crewsmade the performance professional and pleasant. The risk in

bringing in a top-name comedian was well-worth taking.MSG took the chance and it paid off. The crowd size andspirit proved that. Hopefully, the major special event willbecome an annual occurrence for Mercyhurst in the*future.

A fter Successful Concert

David BrennerTalks ToTheMerciad

By Donna J. PetersonMERCIAD E ditor

, I knew it was going to be a longday when my mother called mejearly Saturday morning and said,"D on't be nervous foryour DavidBrenner interview. This is pro-

'bably going to be the biggest dayof your life besides your wedding

:day, but don't be nervous."That didn't help matters.-1 was

j nervous. I was scheduled to meetDavid Brenner at his hotel room

•at the Erie Hilton at 2:00 r£m.with MERCIAD yphotographerRich Forsgren. After gettingdressed and scrutinizing my lineof questions one last time, I wasready'togo.

| Unfortunately, Brenner wasn't.Wydetta Carter (the MSG Rep

who brilliantly planned and pro-duced the concert from the latedays of January up through'herlimo-ride with the Brenner en-tourage from the Campus Center

»

'back to the Hilton) tracked,medown shortly after lunch and

• reported that the comedian wastired from a Friday night perfor-mance in Philadelphia and an ear-ly flight and wanted to sleep allafternoon. However, he apologiz-ed and asked to reschedule ourmeeting for immediately follow-ing the concert. Of course I wasdisappointed, but 1 accepted.

Arriving at the Campus Centerat 7:00 p.m. and waiting in theline as the rain which fell all dayc o n t i n u e d to m i s e r a b l yprecipitate, I sensed* the excite-ment in the crowd. Erie so rarely

has big-name entertainment on itsstages, especially a comedian.Once inside, every chair andbleacher quickly became oc-cupied. It was a sellout. Peoplewere standing in the aisles.

Young Bob Borgia Jr., a localmagician with amazing talent, wasthe warm-up act for Brenner. Hisexecution? of "The Metamor-phosis" leftk the audience askingone another in awe, "How did hedo it?" At 8:30, Borgia left thestage and moments later DavidBrenner walked on, facing an en-

thusiastic standing ovation.Clad in a grayish-blue three

piece suit minus the tie, the first'quip the South Philadelphianative threw to the crowd wentsomething like, "Somehow I

always knew my career would endup in Erie, Pennsylvania." We allloved it and he picked that up.What followed was a string ofErie and Mercyhurst digs whichwere hilariously true. He explain-ed that he was bored and thoughthe'd drive through Erie to see thetown for "the most thrilling sevenminutes of my life." When hepulled up .at the gates of Mer-cyhurst he said a man asked him ifhe'd like his film developed, A lit-tle later on, someone brought upthe name M

Mercyhurst," citingJoan Rivers' mispronounciation -"Mercyheart" - on the "Tonight

Show" v> hen she guest-hosted andBrenner appeared.

"It sounds l ike *Mer-

or in his book. He is the writer,co-owner,!and star of a new TVcomedy series to debut uppn con-firmation from a major network;his book is being studied for amovie adaptation; and he is col-laborating on the penning of aBroadway play. Besides all that,he is constantly on the roadalthough he is "tired of travell-

ing ," he confessed.

cyhearse,'" observed Brenner."Yeah, she died, call 'Mer-cyhearse,' I hear • they're;* realnice. * ~

The one-hour concert featuredmainly new material which thecomi<rconfes[sed he was testing onthis audience for later -use ontelevision. His humor is diverse,intelligent, and timely. There werejokes about television, theeconomy, James Watt, gettingolder, fat people, ("You know so-meone's fat when you *hit themwith a Frisbee and it sticks orwhen they put,, on a pair of cor-duroys and all the ridges disap-pear."), New York City loonies,doctors ("I've always*!wanted toinvite a doctor over to my placeand'make him wait about fourhours forme .") , why the guy whoinvented acupuncture must havebeen a weirdo, and why you onlyfind oneshoe on the highway.

?My interview was to take placein the Campus Center "FootballRoom" and that's where I sta-tioned myself at 9:30 when Bren-ner left the stage. Matt Duska,MERCIAD cartoonist, was thewinner of the comedian'*s newautobiography, Soft PretzelsWith Mustard, along with thechance to meet"Brenner. He waspresent 'for the interview alongwith Forsgren, j Wydetta Carter,magician Borgia, two of Bren-

ner's friends, and his manager.When he came in, I noticed he hadchanged his clothes and was nowwearing a pair of well-worndesigner jeans, a pullover sweater,and a casual jacket. I sat in aswivel chair while he relaxed onlya foot away on a leather couch.My tape recorder sat on the tablebeside him. He looked tired but itdidn't5 show in the interview. I

asked the questions and he tookt h e b a l l . I was at easeimmediately.

Several projects are being tackl-ed by Brenner Iwhich I had notpreviously heard of on television

Mercyhurst is the smallest col-lege David > Brenner has everplayed. "In fact I was at a partythe other night and there weremore people at the party; it was asmall apartment "^arty in "thesouthern section of New Xprk,"

he joked. VThe audience is always best at a

college, commented Brenner."You're sharper, more alert,more sophisticated, brighter, andnipper." The size of the Mer-

cyhurst crowd impressed Brenner."The college itself s small but theturnout was 2,000.1 could play atone of the Big Ten schools andhave 1,800 people show up.That's a small college.".•i The life of David Brenner pro-vides a model of ambition, ofdrive. He successfully m ade it outof the almost ghetto-like South

Philadelphia "Neighborhood"where he grew up, he acquired asuccessful career as a documen-tary film-maker at WestinghouseBroadcasting after graduationgwith a»B.A. in Communicationsfrom Temple, and he J left thatcareer to attempt what$he reallydesired: becoming a comedian.Based on his own experiences, Iasked Brenner what hewould tella college student in 1983 who ispreparing to face the world andbegin a career.

"It's (more important to besmart than to be intelligent," hesta ted wi thout hesi ta t ion ."You've gotta use your smarts."If something isn't;working foryou, try something else, he en-couraged. "Just because you ma-

jored in something doesn't meanyoulhave to stay in that. If so-meone asks you, 'What?did youdo with your life?' and you tellthem, 4Oh , I tried 100 differentt h i n g s , ' it hat, in itself issomething." >

I asked Brenner when he willknow when he's hit his peak andit's time to move on to somethingelse. "That's a good question,"he* responded, saying that he'lljudge that by two criteria: whenhe can't draw the crowds anymore

to

and when performing isn't funanymore. Brenner, who will make

his 133rd appearance on the"Tonight Show" on May 12,reflected on his career. "If you goup real fast like a rocket, you'regoing to come down like a rocketbut if you plot along in a nicegradual incline over the -yearswhen it starts to go down, it'll godown slowly, building a strongfoundation ... I think I'll declinethe same way. I don't think I'll be

an overnight" failure because Iwasn't an overnight success."Brenner made his first televisionappearance on the ^ "TonighShow" in January of 1971. I1975, he said "it started to get reahot, and in 1976, it exploded."

Always wondering how comedians could psyche themselves upfor a concert and be funny even itheir physical and mental statewere not conducive for an ontarget performance, I wanted toknow how Brenner did it. "It's stimulous response, a Pavlovianthing. My foot hits the stage andforget about the world. And thenwhen I come offstage, as soon amy foot hits the wings, I forgeabout the stage."

Apartments:1 Favored Campus Housing

By Fran IVfoavero

\ MERCIAD News EditorStudents applying for apartments last week discovered it was the favored place to reside for the up-

coming year. * fApproximately 216 students sought one of the 36 available apartments which house 144 students.Although apartments were awarded on a point system, students crowded the hallway of second floor

Main and the office of Housing and Safety Director, Phyllis Aiello, to assure'themselves of anapartment.

Aiello awards apartments through the point* system rather than on a first come basis because"everybody has the same shot," she said. if *

Competition for apartments was limited to juniors and seniors because the number of applicants washigher as compared to other years. "Th e original intention of the college is to house juniors and seniorsin the apartments," Aiello said. I £

Upperclassmen who presently live off-campus decided to return to on-campus housing causing an in-crease of apartment applicants.

Aiello cited another reason why it was so difficult to acquire an apartment. "Students are retainingtheir apartments because they like the 11festyle. Those students who stay, eliminate the.youngerpopulation." r

Presidents apartment building (third building) was the most sought after building with 23 groups ofstudents interested in residing there. Twenty-two groups applied for Founders while 14 groups wantedto live in the Mercy apartments.

Third floor front apartments facing Old Main were the most requested, Aiello said. Points weredetermined by the academic credit of each student.

Aiello tried to accommodate students with their first or second choices. However, if neither choicewas available, Aiello placed them in an apartment which was in the building they specified.Students who did not have sufficient points to get an apartment will be forced to live in the resident

halls another year or seek off-campus housing.Those students who selected to live in the dorm another year signed up yesterday. This process was

done on a seniority basis using a lottery system, Aiello said. Seniors were first, followed by juniors andsophomores.i j

First Mercyhurst Gridder SignsFree Agent Contract With NFL

By Greg YokoMERCIAD Co-Sports EditorThe IMercyhurst College Foot-

ball program has taken anothergiant step towards respectability

and notoriety with the signing ofits first football player to a Na-tional Football League (NFL)contract. , v?

Senior Rich Passerotti, a 6*4",260 pound transfer from BucknellCollege, who started for the'Hurst last year^at offensiveguard, has signed a contract withthe Cleveland Browns, fk *

An interesting detail of the con-tract is that Passerotti has a no-cut clause which will guaranteethat he will play through rookiecamp. • • >

The Criminal Justice major waslooked I at by the United States

IURSUaM

Football League (twice), thePhiladelphia Eagles and theBlesto Scouting Combine beforesigning w ith the Browns.

According to Laker HeadCoach Tony DeMeo, Passerottihas been looked at for;;variousreasons. .

"Before we put him on the of-fensive line, he had playedprimarily on defense; this is oneof the aspects which the pros lookfor. A player* who has theknowledge and (experience of'playing on both offense anddefense, said DeMeo. -

Other advantages which helpedPasserotti where the facts that hewas the offensive center in pun-ting situations and he is quick foran offensive lineman (5.1 in 40

« * •

yard dash).These attributes will aid

Passerotti in his bidho make aprofessional team. y

When asked what he thoughtPasserotti's chances were of mak-ing Cleveland's -team, DeMeoanswered, "good".

4The reason," he added, "isthat normal free agents are play-ing in the U SFL." •£*' f

In related news, DeMeoreflected that scouts for the USFLhave spent an entire day just hereat Mercyhurst, and they wereimpressed.

That may not sound like much,but there are only seven scouts forthe entire league. 5h The Laker mentor also revealedthat" there have been 42 recruitswho have confirmed their enroll-ment at Mercyhurst.

Included in fthat group is bigman Dave Sawicki.

Sawicki, 6'6" and 240 pounds,hails from St. Ed 's High School inCleveland.

Conger NamedBaske tball Mentor

Fred Conger, Assistant Foot-ball Head Co ach, has been namedinterim baseball coach, replacingGarry Cordes. '^Conger served for three years as

Head Baseball Coach at Mor-risville High School in EasternPennsylvania where1 he received"Coach of the Year" honors.

"He (Conger) was the naturalchoice," said Athletic | Coor-dinator Tony DeMeo, "He has a

Laker pitcher, Junior Scott Lucas, attempts to shoot down theRockets of Slippery Rock College. Lucas' efforts weren't enough,

however, as Mercyhurst dropped both games of the doubleheader.

will, "more than likely be retainedfor next year to give him a fair

shot." "t b iCoach Conger will make his

debut ^Friday when the Lakersentertain Gannon University onour home Tullio Field.

Last Thursday, the 'Hurstdropped a pair ; of games to theSlippery Rock Rockets. This ex-tended their losing streak to fourgames, all of which were played athome. 'i 4

The Lakers have now lost fivegames at home this season.Previously* they had* beenunbeaten on Tullio Field for twoyears.

After Friday's game^ againstGannon, the„squad will begin aseries of make-up games whichwere postponed because of theweather.

Mercyhurst will take to the roadSaturday for a double-header,then return Sunday for two con-

tests in front of the home crowd.

minds of the Lady Lakers as theyfaced Edinboro State in a localdouble-header.

The Blue and Green droppedtwo the year before to? the LadyScots, but this meeting proveddifferent.

The first game saw extra^ inn-ings with the score deadlocked at

1-1 with Laura Ames comingthrough with the winning hit.Mary Butler was credited with thewin on the mound.

Perfect, could be the only wordfor the performance of pitcherLaura Ames and the rest of theLady Lakers as they downed theBoro 5-0 in the night cap. LauraAmes pitched a flawless game asthe Laker defense went errorless.Candy Hoover had the big stick atthe plate for the Blue and Greenas she went 3-3 in the contest.
