Departmental Self-StudyLOOKING

Th e T ellers organ, before final assemb ly

A 17-page form went out last week to each ofMercyhurst's 22 departmental chairpersons. EntitledDepartmental Self-Study:m970-1980, the form isgeared to providing a p icture of the role of each of thecollege's! academic departments | in the comingdecade.J v *g H;The "Departmental Self-Study" is being administered by the Office of the Dean. In scope, theform requires information which is wide and varied,ranging from.hard data to personal assessments ofthe future as offered by the faculty of the respectivedepartments .11 |g * & \ 5The opening8section of the report is to deal withhard data: course! offerings, major-minorrequirements, enrollment figures and departmentalbudgets ar e to be outlined for the past five years. Further into the report, the departments arerequested ! to devote considerable space to anevaluation of the resourceshuman and materialwithin the department. An analysis will be done of thetechniques and skills iof the faculty within -thedepartment, and the professional achievements ofthese individuals will be noted.j Material resourcessuch as classroom space, labs and library materialswill also be recorded. ' I I i i * *** M L M

Another aspect of the departments which is to beanalysed is their past and future relationship with theErie Consortium oHColleges and the detail of anyother inter-college activities which the Dep artmentshave taken part in, or plan for the future.In addition to making projections for d epartmentalenrollments and course offerings in the future, thedepartments have been requested to evaluate careeropportunities|within the fteld(s), and the effect ofchanging ^opportunities on their departmentcoming years . inThe concluding pag es of the rep orts will present aseries of specific goals and strategies, based on the

information presented earlier in the report. Thesestrateg ies will be laid out in terms of the time that ittakes to implement them and the resourceshumanand materialwhich will be required.When the completed reports a re comm itted to theDean's office in December, the individual departments will have established * written ideas anddirections for the future. The information in thereports will also provide an excellent resourcematerial for those who are trying to blueprint thefuture of the whole college.

A N T I Q U E O R G A N G I V E N M E R C Y H U R S TAn antique pipe organ valued a t $60,000 was givento Mercyhurst College by the Tellers Family of Erie,owners of Tellers Organ Company. | m |^Assembly of the organ was completed this week. ||The organ was built in 1906 by iHenry Tellers,founder of the company.

Along these lines,meetings with congressional repr esen tatives , explored the possibilities of ^federal legislation whichwould provide direct aid to priv ate colleges on a perstudent basis .^ jDr. Shane noted that this exploration is beingcarried out in close cooperation with the ExecutiveSecretary of the AAC and staff members of the Houseand Senate Education CommitteesiHe further notedD i s t r i b u t i v e Ed.

that it was too early to assess the specifics of anyfederal legislation with regard toihow it affectsMercyhurst or similar s mall colleges. I When asked about! the outlook for any federallegislation aimed at providing direct aid for privatecolleges, Dr. Shane noted th at "there is an awarenesson the part of many members of Congress that anacute need exists for such aid, ^however, presentconstraints on the Federal budget may make ad-*ditional expenditures such as this one difficult."Other items of major, interest discussed at theCPSC Executive Committee meeting included'the p i p i AI-* m rpossibility of a national media campaign aimed atf r 3 | C p r l F f i A m THISincreasing public awareness of small privat e U B C I I I V n i U l l l Mcolleges. President Shane also announced that thecollege had received a $3100.00 financial aid grant asa result of a previous CSPC joint effortfwhich t he icollege had participated in.

If you walked by Baldwin Hall about 2 a.m. lastTuesday, October 7, you may have wondered why all200 residents were standing outside in their nightgowns and freezing to death. It was another one of thefalse alarms that have been plaguing Mercyhurstcampus during thepast few weeks. %Of the sixJure alarms set off on campus only twohad been planned by the resident hall staffs.According to Sr. Phyllis, Director of Housing, theother four false alarms were caused by faulty firedetection equipment or someone's idea of a practic aljoke. H \ a Some people may find it amusing to send hallresidents out into the cold night, but it can be a veryexpensive prank. * *%;Each time the Erie Fire Department answers oneof these calls it is costing the taxpayers $500 pertruck. This problem could possibly be minimized ifthe apparent gap in communication between campussecurity ami the Mercyhurst switchboarn could beovercome. \Turning in a false alarm can also be expensive tothe person who pulls the alarm. This is cfds&ified as amisdemeanor which is punishable by A C * to fiveyear prison sentence and or a $10,00$ fir The offender will also be banned from any r dence oncampus. I I

Cliques On CampusI b y D e b - U - T a n t eThis will, be m y second episode of friends andfaculty faces. This week our article wiU concern the"Sweet Adelines" of Sesler 311. These three youngand alluring ladies have graced the Mercyhurstcampus scene for three yea rs.Mary P at M cCarthy, one of these g irls, and one ofthe few people on this campus who was never blessedwith a nicknam e, has been here since 1973. Mary Patislfrom Syracuse, New fYork and various otherplaces. While talking to Mary Pf t recently I was sadto hear she hasn't totally recovered from her illnessof last year. For those of you who weren't here lastyear Mary Pat was afflicted with that deadlyneurological disease . We all hope she recove rs and inlieu of flowers and cards, please send Scotch. J

When writing about Rose Ann Bauer (Rosie), one ofthose great nicknames, I must plead ignorance. I dothis because it sounded good and I've always wantedto do that. Rosie hails from Pittsburgh,*"the arm-pitof the Nation",^Pennsylvania has been here since1973. J I i * I i IFl Rosie, the Harpo M arx of the trio, suffers from thesame problem Skip did last week "lack of notorietyand identity" but as of this writing things are improving. Rosie has combined with two freshman girlsin attempt to compose one intelligent being. I i |\ Terri Fiumara hails from Syracuse *which is thereal mistake on the lake, for three ye ars. Terri, whois more commonly known as the other half, or theRobin side of the dynamic duo. Being that her andMary Pat have been together for 19 yea rs one wouldbelieve they should be friends. I m ust tell you this isan illusion. In real life they fight like cats and dogs. Ithas been rumored that Mary Pat can no longer put upwith Terri's "inferiority complex". Gheer up, Tern.Only seven per cent of the world's Italian. Everyonelikes pizza, a sma ll consolation. I \ In closing this hogwash, the girls asked for onerequest. They ask that aijy young, sensitive,masculine and intelligent freshman boys who wouldlike to stop by, DON'T. \ 1 RTake ca re and until next weekremember, whenyou're up I to your neck in homework, "GetDrunk"!!!! f

Dear E ditor,In past years at Mercyhurst*College I have oftenheard the word apathy mentioned. I had never fullyunderstood what a pathy cando to a college and to thepeople who do become involved,H>ut this becamevery apparent on Saturday. |Weeks of $ planning and time went into thescheduling of the games and events at Fall Festivalon Saturday, and very few students attended, letalone participated in, the events., )" [What do you have to do to get people to have fun atMercyhurst? I'm not going to beg students to attendthe activities; I shouldn't have to. They are there forthem to enjoy. J *-& -: fI also;noticed something else on Saturday. Everytime the re is an event scheduled, the same people arethe ones who attend, and the sam e group of apatheticstudents sit in their rooms and moan and groan thatthere is "nothing to do". I feel very sorry for thesepeople, if- i . *;The people who attended the festivities at the FallFestival all had a good time. Why? Because theymade their own good time; th at's why! The "Ralph**concert on Sunday evening was a great success.Why? Because people came out and made it a success. I'm happy they did. f m *In closing, I would like to thank the people whohelped me plan and organize the F all F estival. Theydid the best job expected and I appreciate it. Just askthose people if they had a good time and if there everis anything to do at M ercyhurst. I'll bet my life tha tthey say ' yes' ' . W J

Dear Townhouse Resident, |On Friday you sponsored a seven-keg Fall Festival Partyfor which you charged $1.00. This is In direct violation ofboth your contract and the laws concerning the sale ofalcohol in Pennsylvania.

Whenspeaking of his pitching, Dansaid, 'TI | don't rjudge myperformance \on winning orlosing. Whatever I get acros s,I gowith." As for the Laker

ball club, Dan felt "If youdevelop a good progra m youwon't have to recruit asmuch." Dan also pointed outthat Point Park, Indiana Sta.teand C larion State ar e baseballoriented. "Other schoolsrecruit alot better and that'swhat Mercyhurst will have todo."Last vear, Dan made theDean's list which he was verypleased about. Dan currentlyis a senior at Mercyhurst undis majoring in Parole andProbation. He soon hopes totake law boards and get intolaw school.

The following is a quote from the*'Student Code ofRight s and Responsibilities*' of Mercyhurst College.The philosophy it expresses is the editorial policy ofThe Merciaa Sports Department.It reads: i ^* ' i .41Mercyhurst College is committed to thef' protection and preservation of the free search for.ruth, thefreedomof thought, inquiry, and speech,and freedom to hear, examine, and debate alter*native theories, data, and views. These are fundamental rig hts ' which must [be protected, \ andpromoted by the college.'' W I ;*J ...When I was young I loved sports, so much so thatI managed to form a deep respect for both playersand coaches. A coach, in my opinion, is a personwhose knowledge, patience and'leadership make ateam. He is either accepted and respected by histeam or else his team falls.There is, however, one thing deep in my heart, farwithin the prisms of my mind, that I feel is wrong.That is the deliberate intimidation of one person byanother for having the courage to hold differentopinions. j , T* A coach, if he's a good coach, can see and correctany mistake his team might make no matter howbig, no matter how small, Through his observationshe is able to form an opinion about each Individual onhis team. , (fy' %u v. /v-::V. \, v,' W^*T%v On the other hand, a player needs guidance,patience and encouragement to achieve his goals. Aplayer can only do this by way of his coach; |then,after hearing about his flaws, he is able to form anopinion as to whether or not he'll try to better hisperformance.^ \ & w -/,? &J? :j p f ^Finally, there is the fan. Though some feel he playsa very small part in the game, he is the basic elementfor which thecoach and player exist to give himhis pleasure. Yet, when he wishes to form an opinion,he's either shot down by theplayer or the coach orboth. Players and coaches should keep in mind that ifthere were no fans, there would be no players andcoaches. I would like to say that I'm not always right,but nonetheless when I'm a witness to an event I havea right to an opinion about that event. Right or wrong,I'dTike to know that even if my view is wrong, at leastsomeone was willing to listen, I*am by no means Godand certainly by no means perfect, but then neither isany player or coach. Still, the right to be heard, theright to voice an opinion is one of our m ost importantrights as st udents here at Mercyhurst College.I say to all of you: speak when you feel you areright and by no means ever feel intimidated forvoicing your opinion of any team here at MercyhurstCollege. If you remain silent, then you rob yourself ofour most sacred freedom freedom of speech.Anyone who disagrees with the above ideas is invited to submit their signed response to this reporter,who will personally see that it is printed in the nextedition of TheMerclad.
