New trimester calendar proposediThe college administration submit-

ted a new calender proposal this weekto the Mercyhurst Student Government jand to the College Senate Com mittee.

William P. Garvey, president of Mer-cyhurst College, said, "The ad-ministration will stay with the 4-3-3calender as long as the college com-munity supports i t." $ 4

Academic Dean, Dr. David Palmersaid, "The 4-3-3 calender is a popularand workable choice at Mercyhurst."1

The newly proposed 4-3-3 calenderallows for further -development of thepresent calender, he added. $.

Palmer admits that " it would be toodifficult to open up a semester^calender at Mercyhurst." | |

A d v a n ta g e s of the p r o p o se dcalender are consistency with other in-sti tutions in the Erie community.

Palmer said that the new calender wilcoordinate "just as easy" with the VillaMaria College calender. £

f Many of the nursing majors here atMercyhurst Ihave c o n f l i c t i n gschedules due to the differences in theacademic calenders. Therefore, theyare not able to coordinate theirvacations. | . .. g «

Other advantages include startingearlier in September and ending earlierin May. Also, more time is allotted bet-ween terms.

Two major obstacles of convertingto a semester calender include thel imitations of space and the inflexibili-ty of scheduling courses and faculty.

As a result of the new proposal, MSGpostponed its survey which they wereconducting this week. *•?

Four members of MSG, Pat Songer;

MSG asked to donatetov ardslf u ndi d ri ve i*

By Lori MartinThe Mercyhurst Student Govern-

ment was aproached by Dr. William P.Garvey, president1 of the college, todonate between $15, 000 and $25,000towards the capital fund drive.

| tt has not been decided how much

money MSG will contribu te overall.However, this year MSG says it willgive $6,000 but will not commit itselffortthe other two years. I£j The money MSG donates will be putinto a restricted fund. MSG is not be-ing forced to donate but "Giving wouldhelp us out with the adm inistration ,"MSG President Pat Songer said.

In o the r MSG b us i n e ss , th eacademic honesty proposal which wassent to the Senate last year was sentback to the government for furtherrevision. • - 3

The proposal -was drawn up toreduce cheating. Students caughtcheating on a test or paper accountingfor 20 percent or more of the coursegrade, the student would receive a 0.0for the course. ?• f

tjSTests or term papers worth less than20 percent, the student would receivea 0.0 on that particular test or paper.

The faculty found fau lts with the pro-posal. Therefore, an MSG comm itteewill revise it* -

MSG proposed not to accept the labhours proposal. It was suggested thatit remain open through winter term.

Last week, Dr. David Palmer,Academic Dean of the college, extend-ed lab hours from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The student governments has-beeninvited to the United Nations Con-ference in New York. * g | |

The conference will take £place inApril. Eight students w ill be allowed to

WMCYcelebrates fourth birthda

Dean explainsacademic policies

By Naomi Romanchok

T o d a y , O c t o b e r 2 6 ,academic progress reports aredue in the registrar's office.

Accord ing to AcademicDean, Dri David Palmer, thepurpose of the progessreports is "to inform studentsand their advisors of any pro-blem in a particular student'sactivity in a class."

Progress reports are Issuedwhen a student's work is notup to their abilities. Progressreports are a "warning to perku p . a n d d o b e t t e r i nclasswork," Palmer said. Theywarn students who may at thispoint have a failing grade.

* The dean believes progressreports are up as "a piece of yInformation for the student'sbenefi t."t It may be the middle of fallt e r m b u t w i n te r c o u r seschedules will be available inmid-November. Registrationtakes place November 19 and

20. hz&&* i

Palmer explains that "thesystematic approach taken bySr. Marcia has i made thewhole process smoother."

First,J the foundation anddistribution core courses are~jsecured for availablity pur-poses. Nex t , depar tmen tdirectors" are consulted fnorder to work out major courseschedules. * '•.

The dean then checks to in-sure there are proper numbersof evening classes being of-fered. He also determines thetotal of interdisciplinary andsenior core courses available.

Also followed up on are thelength of classes. "We usu allystop classes at 3 p.m. so they

don't interfere with scheduled

activities," Palmer said. JThe dean also ^ has tobalance the faculty courseload. In the final stages, he Isresponsible for smoothing outany other rough edges In theproposed schedule. ~:>

Palmer said a'course wi l lnot be cancelled until the se-cond or third class is^held.Cancellation occurs when lessthan seven students attend anon-major course. s

On the topicfi of grade ap-peals, the dean adm its he pro-bably getsr'one a term".Palmer claims that studentshave the "right to appe al".

When a case is brought tohim by a student,; the deanseeks the course syllabus "todetermine a precise, clear in-dication of the grading scale."

After he talks to the student,the dean approaches thefaculty member involved. Thiswhole process probably takesa week. \

Only once in five years has acase been so extreme that itneeded to be taken to theAcademic Policy Committee.

By Greg Hernandez 4Four years ago on Monday

October 29, the campus radiostation, WMCY, aired its firstprogram &j T h e s t a t i o n w i l l b ecelebrating its birthday onMonday at 9p.m. in the Stu-

dent Union with a special pro-gram examining the station 'sprogress.

WMCY will also bej pro-viding free birthday cake andpunch between the hours of9-11 p.m. The station will bebroadcasting live during thistime. |

According to Faculty Ad-visor Steve Curcio, this Is thefirst time anything like thishas been attempted by theradio stat ion. The reason forthe party, he said,"It gets usout of the studio and makesus more v i s ib le to thestudents.' |

It was on this date at 9 p.m.when Curcio aired "War of the

Worlds," a radio drama by H.G.Wells. If \ ff| The inception of a radio sta-tion was developed by Andrew

Roth director of the com-munications department * atthe time, and Dr. DavidPalmer, •, d i r e c to r o f jit hehumanities department. «&

Dr. Palmer and Roth said thecollege hired Curcio to get thestation on its feet.

C The home of the pen guin, asIt is now called, was first |located on the second floor ofthe library. *

However, Richard Ragan,present directo r of the com-munications department saidthe first roots of (he stationwere developed from an af-fi l iation with WOLN-FM. j

WMCY* is^jno longdr af-fi l iated with WQLN.-Rather, ithas developed itself into ac o m m u n i c a t i o n t o o l fo rstudents. J

WMCY has exper ienceddevelopmental changes dur-ing the past two years. In1982, the station relocated tothe basement of Baldwin Hall .

T w o w e e k s a g o , ' B i l lPetrella, an MSG represen-tative, suggested the room re-main open for 24 hours.

Mercyhurst College Presi-dent William PJGarvey actedon the proposal JHowever, he

di d not allowjthe room to re-main open for 24 i hours forsecurity reasons.

It is "not wise" for studentsto be in that area of the col-lege at that time of the morn-ing without adequate security,Garvey commented. f

Wilbur Sydow, director ofsecurity, said security officeshave been instructed to f ill outa report regarding any misuseof the room.

During the past two weeks,

acts of vandalism have not oc-curred in the room, accordingto Sydow. i

However, misuse of theroom will result with privilegesbeing revoked.

There has not been an over-whelming demand for use ofthe room, Sydow said. %

In 1971, the room was usedspecifically as a study area,Joan Cooper, director of thelibrary said.

Barbara Smith, senior vicep r e s i d e n t off B ur so n m a rStellar, the largest public rela-t ions f i rm in the United_States,demonstrated^ variousforms* of^fcreativity throughmany mediums. JR

"Creativity is discipline andcan be improved and learned,"Smith said.

Fear^of rejection is the oneforce which prohibits studentsfrom exhibiting their creativi-

this fear and his idea is heard,

others may build off it or useit.":Smith commented. " ^

Reinforcement and buildingon) ideas are two importantfactors which shape one'screativity.

Smith provided rules for thedisciplined creative process.She said, the problem must beidentified and establish somecriteria to the solution.

Secretary of the army 1not greeted by the college

Dear Editor:On Tuesday, October 23,the Honorable John O. MarshJr., secretary of the army, wasin Erie to make a presentationat McDowell % IntermediateSchool. His appearance wasnot highly publicized due tosecurity reasons. However,about 300 people were in theaudience. ™ * wBfjThe Gannon ROTC Depart-

ment supplied the color guardand the honor guard, andMcDowell High School pro-duced fine performances inboth the band and choralensemble. Opening speakersincluded i Congressman TomRidge, Representative KarlfW.Boyes and Superintend ant of

the Millcreek School DistrictRobert J. Agnew. Many promi-nent members from the Eriearea, such as the D'Angelo's,

Letter

the Lord's, and the Zurn'swere present; of course manyranking military officia ls werein the audience. The entirepresentation was taped, WJETtelevision covered the event

and members ofc the presswere on hand. *

This event, eviden tally, wasnot a trivial one. Local col-leges and universities were in-vited to attend. Villa Maria,Behrend, Edinboro, Gannon,and even Allegheny wererepresented. Apparently, Mer-cyhurst College, trying hard tomake a name for itself, foundthe event insignificant. Dr.Garvey spent the evening inthe Student Union listehing toa presentation on becoming a

lawyer. The other members ofthe administration were pro-bably lounging at home wat-ching reruns of the A-Team.

Opposition statedfor calendar revision

Dear Editor: - A very im-portant issue is being con-sidered on campus regardingthe Mercyhurst calendar. I amstrongly opposed to thechange and I feel that my opi-nion represents the commonatt itude off students on

campus. . .'* t 2mThe present system is notpopular with larger | institu-tions? which try to avoid ex-cess time and paperwork butfor our smaller campus,, effi-ciency would not be greatlyreduced.* £tfc The grade that an individualreceives in a class is a directreflection of his interest andinvolvement in those hours ofstudy and indicates, as it wasoriginally designated to do,the percentage of knowledgethat is gained in taking thecourise.S W. &

If more classes are added at

shorter time lengths, the stu-dent f would find it more dif-f icu l t ! t 0 devote continuousstudy time to ,each subjectdue to the necessary segmen-tation of time among morecourses. Also , in having to beconcerned with \ the class

through a longer s overallperiod of time, the student'sinterest may wane and thecontinuity of the concepts be-ing taught will disintegrate.

I believe that'our presentsystem was designed for thestudents' benefit and to rejectthe trimesterjcalendar woulddirectly affect every studentin a-very negative manner. Ihope that this decision will bemade with complc te regard toIts?effect on stjdents toreceive the best 'educationfrom Mercyhurst College.

With concern,Mary M. Cawiey

Someone should have bthere to stand and allow cyhurst's name to be annoed . How often do we hear cyhurst fs going to makname for itself? To do thiscollege cannot solely depon academic achievementthe success of the footteam. Carpe Diem is proposted over Old Main, emrassing ly, it seems the ege passed up one

Cost orConvenience?• - :;*<:•.; "*&<

By Laura Ruby and LynneMartin *

Two basic housing optionsare available to stude nts of thecollege. Living in the dorm or

living in an apartment.!The cafeteria meal plan is

thejonly option to studentswho live in the dorms. On theother hand, ^students whoreside in the apartme nts havethe choice of preparing (theirown meals or buying a mealticket from the cafeterfa.

For those who live in theapartments, there are advan-tages and disadvantages toboth options. Many studentsbelieve buying and preparingmeals has more advantages.

Students injthe apartmentslook at the situation from aneconomic point of view.

A Fall term meal ticket con-sisting of all three meals cost$350. That averages $87.50 amonth. Monthly!grocery billscan total between $40-$60.

Time constraints r.also donot allow for many apartmentres idents to eat in thecafeteria. Classes and Co-Ops

often make it difficult forstudents; to eat during therestricted times.!

But some students believeconvenience is an advantageto eating in the cafeteria.

Senior Cathy Ma rtz feels theconvenience is beneficial.Howeverj^'You don't have topay that much for conve-nience," she said.

While residents in the apart-ments have an option, thoselnthe dormitories do not.

Choice is not availablethereby, the student is forcedto eat In the cafeteria.Joe

Fessler, a freshman, said "forthe money we pay we couldb.e getting bet ter qual i tyfood.", | r H

Many students living in theapartments opted to eat justone of the three meals in thecafeteria. The majority who.did this chose dinner. £

Junior Lynn Fisher opted toeat in the cafeteria. Althoughshe only eats one meal, shesaid, "In the long run eatingjust one meal saved moneyand time." According to JohnWashington, di rector ofK.C.Foods, 70 apar tmentresidents have a special mealticket for only one or twomeals a day. * Ssjgfej ^jjI Another apartmenUresidentMichael Bauman said he eatsin the cafeteria because hewould never be able to affordhis own appetite.

The consensus seems to bethat affordability and | conve-nience are the two main fac-tors fort apartment residentsnot eating in the ^cafeteria.However, it differs from stu-dent to student according toindividual class and workschedules. I

Mercyhurst tennis 1ends with 10-3mark

By Greg Yoko -\ t&PThe Mercyhurst women's

tennis team concluded 'their

1984 camp aign last Wednes-day! with a convincing 7-2tr iumph at the University ofRochester . The win gavecoach Rick Harden and hisclub a season record of 10-3,better than any Lady Lakerteam in the past five years.

"Everyone played really wellconsidering the playing con-diditons/'said Harden as hereferred to,the fact that URplays it tennis matches onathe roof of a building. "Butthey played brilliantly in thefinal collegiate match." |v,

singles points. K M ^ §" H e r m a t c h t u r n e deverything around. It gave usthe opportunity to win thematch," explains Harden. "Wewent} from a | possible 0-3d e f i c i t t o a s t r o n g J4-2advantage." | WBj|a As usual, Jan Johnston wonher singles match.

Tryouts completedBy Lisa Rifforgiato

"The talent is there, we justhave to g et a cohesive unittogether to play,'' were thewords of Darlene Rosthauser,head coach of W omen's Varsi-ty Basketball, after tryoutswere held on Sunday, October21. a** a I I

Out of 18 people that triedout, 15 were kept for the team JCoach Rosthauser was verypleased with the way tryoutswent and was also "pleasant-ly s u r p r i s e d " w i t h th ewomen's ab ility over last year.

The Lady Lakers are a very

young team, having only fourseniors, tw o jun iors, on es o p h o m o r e , a n d e i g h tfreshmen to put on the court.Rosthauseri commented that,"There is a lot of enthusiasm,hustle, and desire among theteam, and we definitely have astrong bench, something wedi d no t have last year."Rosthauser added, "I f I had toplay tomorrow, I could startwith afclear conscience, 13out of the 15 women that madethe team." $ | ' %

In a different note, two retur-ning players did not feeltryouts were fair in evaluatingeach individuals playing abl i l i -ty. Jeana White, currently a

junior and going into her thirdyear summed it up in thisfashion, "Tryouts themselveswere run well , but it was onlytwo hours long and how muchcan one person tell aboutanother's ability in that shortof time?" £

Senior Candy Hoover added,"No t enough drills were doneand tryouts were not run longenough to f ind ou t peoples'real potential. Tryouts couldhave been run better, I just do

gnot know'if it is right to basecuts on just two hours worthof tryouts."

With that in mind, the onlything that is going to tell thestory, is playing ball itself. TheLady Lakers began practice "November 1 and are preparingfor a tournament on November30 at Eafnboro. !| ^ T h e * Laker f women have atough schedule ahead, butRosthauser feels that allitheladies are hard workers andshe is very excited about theupcoming season.

Despite a shortage on man-power, the 'Hurst was able tosoundly beat a struggling Pan-ther outfi t in Bradford. Aftertaking only eleven players to

the game, Mercyhurst wasforced to play with only tenable-bodied players inifthe se-cond half.

"We played the one-twotouch soccer that we've beentrying to achieve all year, andwe did it for a good 35minutes. The fact that we gotan early 3-0. half ime leadhelped us out.
