Chicago Firm Hired By CollegeTo Investigage Fund Raising' By Karen MerkleMERCIA D News EditorMercyhurst College is alreadygearing up for a possible 1984-854'capital campaign" fund drive,with the help of a Chicago-basedfund raising firm.According to Director of Alum-ni Relations Gary Bukowski,Philip Brunskill, of DonaldCampbell and Company, wasfaired by the school to conduct a

"philanthropic feasibility study"to gauge the community's reac-tion to a large scale fund raisingeffort in the fall of 1984.* Tart of my job here is to helpassess and understand fthe com-munity's potential for support,"Brunskill said.To reach this goal, during thenext three months Brunskill willbe conducting interviews both onand off campus, with people sug-gested by 'Hurst administrators,"to see how Mercyhurst fares inthe community," Bukowski said.In December, a preliminaryreport of the findings will bepresented to the MercyhurstBoard of Trustees, with the finalanalysis due in January.If the results are positive, amassive "capital campaign" fundraiser may take place in Octoberor November of 1984.Bukowski explained that themoney raised through this cam-paign would be used for projects"beyond operating expenses,"such as a possible student centerlodge, a swimming pool, and

academic resources such as com-puters, library mate rials/ andscience equipment. Some of themoney would also be available inscholarships, especially forstudents at the D'Angelo Schoolof Music.Also included under this planwould be the possible renova tionsof existing facilities as well as en-dowments of new ones.This project originated throughthe administration and the Boardof Trustees, who over the summerdecided to approach the possibili-ty of an additional fund raiser.Donald Campbell* and C om-pany was, contracted for the job,and Brunskill was brought toMercyhurst to act as a consultanton the project. iCampbell and Company has anexcellent reputation in the field offund raising. Besides aiding col-leges such as Denison Universityin Granville, Ohio, St. XavierC ol l ege i n C h i cago , an dCleveland State University, theyhave helped raise money for civican d s oc i a l org an i za t i on s ,hospitals, the gaits, and manyvaried associations, Bukowskisaid. '\sBrunskill added that at the pre-sent time, his company is workingwith approximately $200 millionin fund raising dollars for variousorganizations, jSo far, Brunskill's experience atMercyhurst has been a pleasantone.I'm finding that the peopleI,

The Merciad 1Ranked First ClassThe Merciad; was recentlyawarded a ranking of "First

Class" for Winter and Springterms of 1983 publications by theNational Scholast ic PressAssociation (NSPA)/Judged in -five general areas,The Merdad was ranked in rela-tion to other publications accor-ding to the college enrollmentcategory.^ \"Everyone worked very hard toachieve this rating," Carla Ander-son, Merciad Editor, said. "Sincethis rating is based on the secondsemester of last year, creditshould be given to Donna Peter-son, last year's editor."Noted as a mark of distinctionby the NSPA was the paper's opi-nion content, which judge Bob

Nestor said added a lot o f interestto the newspaper publication."The Merciad gives the reader agood picture of what is going onat Mercyhurst,9' Nestor stated."It is very evident that the staffworks diligently in producing itscopy," he concluded.-This rating marks the secondconsecutive term that The Mer-ciad has achieved a first classranking. "Taking the first-class ratingtwice in one year is not an easyachievement," Merciad AdvisorRichard Garcia explained."I can truly say I am very pro-ud of each and every member ofThe Merciad staff and their con-tributions to this achievement.""I hope to continue to improve

have been most cooperative andhelpful,'* he said. "There is agreat deal here * of which to beproud."Brunskill continued that whilehe was hired "as an instrument"to serve the college , it is really thepeople here on campus who canand will make the difference."The fund raising processworks from the inside out," hesaid. "It's the people who knowand. need these enterprises w homake things happen."But before this fund raiser isever solidified, other money-makers will be taking placethroughout this year.As usual, the fourth annualPhone-a-thon will be held inFebruary. Al so ,, the Parents'Library Fund will j continue togenerate books and materials for,the library through donations bystudents' parents.In addition, "We're addinganother dimension to fund rais-ing," Bukowski announced, withthe inception of the Class AgentProgram.Through this program, onemember of every class that hasgraduated from Mercyhurst hasbeen recruited to write letters tothe other members of his or herclass, asking for a donation.Bukowski .hopes the letters willbe sent out by the end ofNovember. "This way, those whodon't respond to the letter willhave another chance to give dur-ing the Phone-a-thon," he added.

Financial Aid :Undergoes Adjustments

The Merciad this year," Ander-son said. "I want to maintain thefirst class standing, and I have alot of confidence in the staffmembers," she added.

Although Congress may soonresort to further federal aid cuts,Mercyhurst should not be greatlyaffected, according to CathyCrawford, director of financialaid."I would anticipate funding toremain somewhat the same,"Crawford said, referring to Mer-cyhurst's portion of availablemoney.According to the College PressService (CPS), all federal pro-grams including Pell Grants,Guaranteed Student Loans, * Na-tional Direct Student Loans, andCollege Work Study, will beadjusted.'.While the House of Represen-tatives and the Senate have agreedon a $370 million appropriationfor Supplemental EducationalOpportunity Grants, and a $550million budget for the CollegeWork Study program, there arestill some discrepancies in fundingideas for other services.The House is currently sug-gesting that $178 million dollarsbe allocated for the NDSL pro-gram. But, the Senate is propos-ing only $143 million be used forthe program.Conversely, the Senate is

budgeting almost $2 billion mofor the Pell Grant program thathe House is.These differences should resolved in a conference commtee meeting, on Monday, Octob17. j -But, other options are availabfor students. The state of Pensylvania has made $350 milliavailable to college students whdon't qualify for national loanstarting with the 1984-85 schoyear and available over tfollowing four years.In Pennsylvania currentl7,200 students are the recipienof about $5.7 million in financiaid. J "There are funds availableCrawford said, and as funbecome less available, she samore funds are being offered students, "to accommodate thechanges in circumstance."j"We have an excellent staagency in PennsylvaniaCrawford said, referring to tPennsylvania Higher * EducatAssistance Agency (PHEAA). addition to this, she added, "also have a college that is commted to student assistance frowithin the institution."

Homecoming Queen And KingiTo Be OrN ot To BeThafcte The Question

I have sat and pondered about the Mercyhurst Homecomingevent, just two weeks away. Suddenly, I realized something hasbeen miss ing ... the selection of a Homecoming Queen and King.So , 1 decided to do something about it to create an annualtradition for the Mercyhurst Homecoming. But, this suggestioncan only be successfully achieved through the efforts of the Stu-dent Activities Com mittee (SAC), fI am calling on SAC to use the following criteria and methodsfor instituting a H omecoming Q ueen and King:1. All full-time senior female and male students should beeligible for Hom ecoming Queen and K ing. -2 . Only full-time senior class members could vote.3. Each full-time senior would nominate 2 females and 2males from the class.4. Then, the top 5 senior females and top 5 senior males thatreceive the most nom inations would become the finalists.5. A list of the finalists could then be distributed to seniors forthe final selection\ of the 1983-84 Mercyhurst HomecomingQueen and King, jl ^6. After votes are tabulated, the winners could be announcedon Saturday, October 29, during half-time at the football game.Themost effective way of having good voter turnout would bethrough polls, which could be located in the cafeteria, 2nd floor,Old Main, and the Student Union.Theabove ou tlined plan is subject to mod ification. It is only asuggestion for implementing a Mercyhurst Homecoming Queenand King. * After developing the idea and a plan of action;to select aHomecoming Queen and King, J contacted SAC ChairpeJohn Jones, on Monday evening. ^3

; He was very enthusiastic about the idea, and began planningimmediately. Students have been polled this week, and askedhow they feel about instituting a Homecoming Queen and Kingas an annual event. In order for this new event to be successful, SAC needs stu-dent input and help. The Merciad is behind SAC 100 percent as asupport base and information outlet.Now, the decision of having a Homecoming Queen and Kingrests in the hands of the student body. Go for it!

Martin LutherThe Father Of Protestantism

\

: By Bob SantosNovember 10 will mark theSOOth anniversary of the birth ofMartin Luther, the leader of theReformation, a religious move-ment that gave birth to Protestan-tism. How did this faithful son ofthe Roman Catholic Church endup as he proclaimed founder ofthe world's largest ProtestantChurch? 3The answer lies with the ques-tion that troubled Luther for along time: How does a man findfavor with God? MIn 1508, while studying theBook of Psalms and the Epostlesof Paul, Luther concluded thatGod's favor is not a prize to bewon, but a gift to be accepted. Helater said that God makes menrighteous before Him not throughth e i r mora l good n es s orfaithfulness to duty, but becauseof His kindness to them. Lutherbelieved God's kindness was givento the world in the life, death, andResurrection o f Jesus Christ. Thiswas the meaning of justificationsolely by faith in God's grace, thedoctrine that made Lutherfamous. In more simple terms,Luther clearly did not believe thatby doing good works people earn-ed their salvation. H e maintainedthat only through-belief in thegrace of God could one attainsalvation.This belief first drew him intoconflict with 1Johann Tetzel, aDominican monk that sold in-dulgences. On October 31, 1517,

"Fire drill? No. it's break time."

Luther nailed his famous Ninety-Five Theses to the door of theCastle Church in Wittenberg. Thetheses included statements that at-tacked indulgences and dealt withsuch issues as the authority of theBible and the doctrine of God'sgrace. f , ''In 1519, Luther had a famousdebate in Leipzig with JohannB c k , a . R o m a n C a t h o l i ctheologian. A t this debate, Lutherdenied the supremacy of the popeand declared that church c ouncilscould make mistakes. Later hemade these two positions clearerby his book The Freedom of theChristian Man, which declaredthat a Christian was a free person,subject to no one, yet at the sametime a willing servant,1 freely sub-ject to everyone. 1In 1521, Luther was excom-municated by Pope Leo'' X.Charles V, emperor of the ItalyRoman Empire, then ordered'Luther on behalf of a meeting ofprinces, nobles, and clergymen toretract his teachings andstatements. Luther refused to doso and declared: "Unless**I amconvinced by the testimony of theScriptures or by clear reason (for Ido not trust either'in the pope orin councils alone, since it is wellknown that they have often erredand contradicted ithemselves), Iam bound by the Scriptures I have

quoted and my conscience is cap-tive to theWord of God. I cannotand I will not retract anything,since it is neither safe nor right togo against conscience. I cannot dootherwise."Luther died in ^Eisleben onFebruary 18, 1546. He has beencalled the most influential Ger-man that has ever'lived and ismore revered than B onifac e,' 'theapostle of Germany." Lutherstrikes me as a reformer dedicatedto pract ical real i sm anddemocratic principles. He is im-mortalized as a man of courageand humility. He was disap-pointed that the Reformation leadto the creation of a Church bear-ing his name: Lutheran.Five hundred years after hisbirth, the impact of his words arebeing felt* more than ever, byAmerican Roman Catholictheologians.

George Ball Lecture Was'Verbose And Digressive*v^^^ By Chris ChmielewsklMERCIAD Staff ReporterGeorge Ball, ambassador to theUnited Nations, former, DeputySecretary of State, and author offour books, spoke at MercyhurstCollege last week.A small audience gathered inthe Zurn Recital Hall on Thurs-day, September 29, to hear thissupposedly superb speaker. Tw olocal T.V. crews arrived at the_ I scene to document this specialevent. Needless t o say,,I was ex-pecting * a speech of * greatmagnitude and import. Aftertwenty minutes, I found myselfwondering if he would be done intime to allow me" to go home andwatch "Cheers." * ft _Overa 11 ,*;! found him to be ver-bose and lacking^vocal appeal,and I found his. speech opi-nionated and lacking importance.One of the themes of his speechdealt with badmouthing theReagan Administration -and hisdealing with foreign policy. Forexample,. Ball said, "the ReaganAdministration is learning foreignpolicy byr trial and error."r Interms of die U.S. role in theworld, Ball said, ("We-have torealize that we are not the dietyand we can't redesign the world inou r image."*;A11 , oft*thesestatements are true; but they have

been said numerous times beforeby scores of people. Ball was nottelling us anything new. w .Ball also expounded on thequasi-diplomatic relations bet-ween the U.S. and U.S.S.R. I con-sidered this to be the most in -teresting part of his speech. Un -fortunately, it only comprisedabout fifteen minutes of the oneand a half hour long presentation.Ball mostly spoke about thestrengths an d weaknesses ofUnited States9 an d Russians'foreign policy. Th e strengths ofSoviet foreign policy are that thein office year

after year. ;Thus, they have ex-perience in what they'rj dealingwith . On ther-otifeT hand,American foreign policy changesfrequently depending oh whd is inoffice, which doesn't account formuch stability. Ball also said that,"the U.S. helps to* further thepolitical ,chasm by seeing theU.S.S.R. as a threat to worldpeace instead of an instrument toaccomplish peace." Ball said thatthe U.S. sees its relations with theU.S.S.R. as a "bipolar stugglebetween good and evil, with theU.S. representing Christ-* and

Located nextto the Nautilus facilities in theCampus 'Center, the simulatedrowing machine allows up to tenoarsmen at one time to row in awater-filled indoor basin.The tanks, similar to the insideof a "shell" (a four- or eight-manlightweight boat), seats the rowersin sliding wooden seats that ac-commodate the rowing motion.The two water basins located onboth sides of the seats are cir-culated by pushing the hoUowed-out 12-foot oars connected to therigs next to the slides. .Men's coach Allan Bellovarac isextremely optimistic and en-thusiastic about the new rowingdevice. "It will offer a significantadvantage over other schools whodo not have tanks. We will havemuch more water Jtime to dealwith going'into our first race,where in years before we couldonly work on running and

durance training will play the big-gest part."The biggest advantage to befound byy Bellovarac was the factthat "the tanks will make ushighly competitive to our opposi-tion. These tanks are our vehiclet o [ .becoming n a t i o n a lchampions."t*Both the men's and women'screw teams are* now presentlytraining six days a week / runningapproximately 2-4 miles threedays a week, and rowing on thetanks or in the bay three days.Beginning \ in November, * theteams will have a specializedNautilus program designed towork on the areas of the body us-ed in the sport of7rowing, par-ticularly leg strength./'Our main goal this year withthe advantage of now having therowing tanks is to defeat Mariet-ta," said senior co-captain TomBucci. Marietta has a highly com-petitive and well-established100-year rowing-program. "Wehave always finished behind themin the past, but this could be our
