PAGE 2 THE MERCIAD N O V EM B ER 29Cooperative Education officenot utilizedlenoughjby studentsBy Debbie Hison -E m p l o y e r s o f m a n ybusinesses offer co-ops tostudents looking *, for ex-perience in the ir career related" f ie ld. However, James Infan-

tino, director of cooperativeeducation, said students areno t seekingl the availableopportunit ies. -IAccording to the CollegePress Service, cooperativeeducation offices are having ahard time Jfinding enoughstudents to satisfy the de-mand. Infantino finds thesame problem at Mercyhurst.Last year \ $80,000 fromemployers was not ^ util izedthrough co-ops.The problem seems to bewith the student's apathy, In-fantino said. You can be get-ting tuition waivers or just ear-ning spending money by get-ting these Jobs. The problemseems to be that "studentsaren't looking ahead."The! cooperative educationprogram has increased 20 per*cent each year since Infantinotook over in 1980. Last yearalone 110 students worked atco-ops in the Erie and surroun-ding areas desp ite the 17 per-cent unemployment cate."We're doing wel l ," com-^men ted In fa n t i n o , ^ ^About 25-30 percent of theeligible students at the col-lege are affected by co-ops,"added Infantino. The elibible

students include juniors andseniors, students with a QPAof 2.0 or better. Somestudents in certain majors cannot do co-ops due ho staterestr ictions. | I\A "About 40 percent of thestudents who are offered posi-t ions with companies fstaywith the company they didtheir co-op with after gradua-tion," Infantino said.& By not fi l l ing these posi-t i o n s o f f e r e d by t h ecooperative education officesth e employer? base is beingdestroyed. Companies whoc a n n o t f i n d e n t h u s i a s t i cs t u d e n t s ? ; h e r e w i l l goelsewhere to find studenswho really need jobs.Approximately eight to tenpositions carry a guaranteedjob upon gradua tion. Infan-tino stated these include jobswi th the^lnternal Revenue Ser-vice, the State government,and the Veteran's Hosp ital. *jThe number one participantin the cooperative educationp r o g r a m i s t h e H o t e l -Restaurant Management ma-jor with a 40 percent place-ment, followed by BusinessAdministration. gA survey completed lastsummer by the college reveal-ed that co-ops were widelyfavored by the students in-stead of-internships. Intern-ships hare supervised by thefaculty chairman. Students are

not paid for these work ex-periences. "Co-ops resembleth e X real wor ld," Infantinoadded.-The procedure for goingabout getting a co-op includeattending one of the seven 35minute informational sessionsoffered by the CooperativeEducation office. These ses-sions are mandatory beforeany appointments can bemade with the Co-op staff. Atthese sessions there arediscussions of J the oppor-tunities and responsibilities ofthe students' participation inthe program, j fStudents must apply a termin advance. Bulletin boardslocated througout the collegehave job opportunities on it formany jobs in career relatedfields which students can findjobs. An interview is then setup with the Co-op coordinatorand this will make attempts tof o r m u l a t e p l a c e m e n tpossibi l i t ies. fThe number of c redi tsawarded is determined by thenumber of hours worked. Aminimum of 200 credit hoursis needed for every threecredits, f ?Students' ! participation inthe program is evaluated fourtimes during 'the ten weekperiod. Also, a paper must besubm itted by the student ex-plaining their duties and Jobexperience. i

More information on theCooperation Education pro-gram can. be f picked up inM204 or by ca lling 825-0427."95 percent of the studentswho walk in the door receiveplacement in a career-orientedfield," Infantino concluded.

academic distinction."We recognize the r ichheritage and tradition whichwe share together with theS i s t e r s | o f M e r c y w h ooriginated Mercyhurst almost60 years ago, and w ith our en-tire College Community. Wealso recognize that Mer-cyhurst must be prepared forthe 1980's and beyond by hav-ing i t ! place the necessaryeconomic power to enable usto be comp etitive today andtomorrow. 1*The Board realizes that aSportsmedicine programawaiting final approval

^ Janet PriceThe unique thrust of the pro-gram is it s w h o l i s t i capproach-concern for the totalperson as evidenced by themixture of courses fromseven different disciplines.Specifically, students in theprogram w ill specialize in oneof three tracks. $ Those inathletic training w ill prepare todeal i wi th - the prevention,evaluation, and rehabilitationof athletic injuries. Thosespecializing in wellness willconcentrate on preparationfor organizing-conducting awellness program infan in -stitutional setting. Those whohave a desire to attendmedical school will completethe necessary requirementswithin the pre-med track.Initial acceptan ce* into theprogram is on a conditionalbasis-! with final acc epta nce !by an evaluation board takingplace at the end of thesophomore year for incomingnew freshmen and after one

year of classes for transferstudents. || In order to&be initially ac-c e p t e d i n t o t h e S p o r t -smedicine Program, a studentmust have successfully com-pleted threes years each ofhigh school science and mathc o u r s e s . T h i s ' t y p e ? o fbackground is necessary toensure that the student hasthe competencies to be suc-c e ss f u l i n t h e r i g o r o u sprogram.A degree in Sportsmedicineprepares a student for place-ment in the job market or forgraduate scho ol. The "jobmarket is limited, naturally,with only a bachelor's degree,but there are jobs in the areaso f a th le t i c t ra in ing andwellness at this level.A student enrolled in theathletic training track mustnot| only complete the re-quired courses as specified inthe catalogs but must alsoparticipate in 11800i clinicalhours in order to qualify totake the NATA* certi ficationexamination. iPositions for certifiedathletic trainers are quitenumerous all over the country,especially those for personswith a \ master's degree. Thewellness field is also beginn-ing to advertise positionsmore readily due to publicawareness of and involvementin v- personal} health andwellness.Finally, the Sportsmedicineprogram at Mercyhurst Col-lege is one of the first of itskind in the country.

minimu m of $4 mil lion dollarsis necessary to preserve theheritage and tradition of thepast and to strengthen Mer-cyhurst for |the future. ?TheBoard ha s| accepted I th ischallenge because there aremanyjyital areas within Mer-cyhurst which require addi-tional funds includ ing: I1. $2 million dollars forfinancial aid to \ ensure/ adiverse and capable studentbody; J2. $1,200,000 for the libraryand teaching departments; \3. $800,000 fori expandedfacilities for the proper perfor-mance of the lively arts;4. a long-range goal of a newStudent Union-Recreational Complex. IMercyhurst has'^an urgentneed for funds devoted ex-clusively to financial aid forstudents. This includes en-dowme nt, scholarships andloans.

By Laura Ruby -SPIRIT:"A particular moodor emotional s tate characteriz-ed by vigor; strong loyalty ord e d i c a t i o n , " accord ing toWebster's Dictionary.Spirit can be defined insevera l ways. The abovedefini t ion, however, capturesthe idea of what the spirit of acollege such as Mercyhurstshould resemble.& Spirit isn't just the cheeringor applause that one hears ata sporting event. Spirit isgenerated by the p ride one hasin the insti tution and shouldalways be present.^ For spirit to exist, theremust be a bond. This is anemotional bond that unites thepeople with the insti tution. Itcharacterizes the positive feelings one has for the organiza-tion to" which they belong.Mercyhurst hasproven bothsuccessful and unsuccessfulin generating spirit. 5* Both the men's basketballand football teams receive agood t following. Fans arealways present cheering theLakers on to victory and prov-,ing school spirit exists.# However, there are manysporting events and studentactivities that go unnoticed. Isthis due to a lack of spirit?m Being the size that Mer-cyhurst is, the student spiritshould be overwhelming. Butat times, it's nonexistent.It shouldn't take an eventsuch as football tolgeneratespirit. Spirit should always be

It!present. If every event and ac-tivity were to be eliminated,the spirit of the administrationand student body should stillexist.Student opinion on thespirit of the school differs butthere f does seem to be ageneral consensus. IFreshman Melissa Phelansaid, "People seem to be en-

ting events she said, f"spiritshould exist whether we winor lose.'f I r | | Junior? Cindy Palas said,"Mercyhurst is definitely lack-ing in school spirit." She sug-gested that a group beorganized specifically to getpeople involved. Br %Of course^not every schoolevent will have full student*?

thusiastic at sporting events,bu t not as much in student ac-t ivi ties." |On the? same note,freshman Michael Michaliksaid, "The spirit is lacking.Too many people aren't involv-ed and jusft don't care." ^Sophomore Tracy Hitchensfeels that the spirit has im-proved. 1 She said, "Peopleneed to get more involved andpay more attention to schoolactivities." In respect to spor-

participation. But the eventshaving a low turnout reflect alack of student spirit.When the opportunity arisesto cheer on a team, help out ata school event or enter aschool activityjshow a l ittleschool pride. Participationstarts the ball rolling and letseveryone know that * spiritexists. 1 frSpirit is contagious. And int ime, it just maycatch on !

experienced. But we i did ex-ceptionally^ well in this race,and I have no complaintsabout i t." Out of |the 16schools in the race, Mer-cyhurst men .placed seventhonly 18 seconds out of first.In the women's varsity^fourrace, the results were relative-ly thejsame. *Out of the 15schoo ls, the Lady Lakers plac-ed 8th with the Penn "A " boattaking first place honors.A look at the overall seasonproved to be quite pleasing forboth the men's and women'scoaches.
