The Capital Campaign hasraised over $2.7 million in the"family phase" and is now go-ing headstrong into the cor-porate or "public" phase ofthe fundraising effort.2 Having already raised 60percent of the goal, the CapitalCampaign hopes to draw$750,000 from various ErieC o u n t y i n d u s t r i e s a n dbusinesses.The "family phase" drewfinancial support of $1.8mi l l ion f rom f ive ma jo rcontributors? _The* Board of Trusteesdonated over $1.5 million;faculty, staff and administra-tion pledged some $115,000;the President's Associatesgave over $90,000; the ;firstyear pledge from the Alumniwas $75,000; and the Mer-cyhurst Student *Governmentgave $25,000. Some Erie cor-porations gave advance giftstotallin g $950,000. \According to F. Brady Louis,Special Assistant to the Presi-dent for the Cap ital Campaign,"This kind of support beforewe go to the public is exciting.It indicates that th is is a viablecampaign and tharour goalscan be reached."~7The corporate phase gotunderway last week with akick-off dinner. Louis says, "Iwas impressed with the spiritat * the corporate kick-off

IGannon has just finished itscampaign, while Behrend andthe Diocese of Erie are* cur-rently in the midst of their fun-draising drives. "We're like thefourth plane on the runway,"quips Garvey. i.

APRIL 11,1985 THE MERCIAD PA

Do corporations have the right to control curriculum?By Chris AlessiAccording to a Boston in-vestment f irm, some collegesand universities across the na-tion I may be weighting theircourse offerings toward mathand science in order to a ttractlarger corporate contributions."For many universities andcolleges, 'sellin g their pro-grams to corporations andother philanthropic agenciesand individuals is key toeconomic viability,"\says theF r a n k l i n R e s e a r c h a n dDeve lopment Corpora t ionstudy. | 0Many schools are becomingprogressively? dependent onsupport from the private-sec-tor because aid given to col-leges from federal and stategovernments is decreasing."For the past two tojftnreeyears, there has been severalarticles written discussing theneed to tie academic institu-tions into ^corporate institu-tions/' according to Academic

Dean Dr. David Palmer.I "This is due to the value ofdirectly producing people whowill go into jobs in those in-st i tut ions," adds Palmer.There may be a problem withthis though, "if an institutiongets too closely tied in, thensubtley and then more directlylater on, you may find yourselfWuTfcypQhslve tonhe directdemands of the'corporations/*Problems such as this , donot arise untilfthese corpora-t ions begin to say whatcourses and institution shouldhave. "While this may beallowable to some extent, thefear and underlying questionis 'how far do we go?' It mayget to a point where the cor-porat ions I are ^giving *.theunivers i t ies! an ul t imatum:either you teach this sequenceof courses, or we, the corpora-t ion, won't give you themoney," said Palmer.3 "I t is when an academic in-stitution becomes closely tiedwith an outside source, thatone must be very weary aboutbeing dictated to , " he added.K The integrity of anyuniversi-ty must always be maintained.If the demands by any outsidesource become too great, andthe university begins to fall tothese demands, it is here.thatauthority shifts Into the wronghands."Palmer fee ls ith at Mer-cyhurst College has not had todeal with this situation. "Wedon't have strong enough tieswith corporations so that wehave ever felt that force of dic-tating the curriculum."The problem seems to bemore evident at larger institu-tions. These institutions mayprove to have a distinct tie inwith another corporation."A t t he s e * i ns t i t u t i o ns ,money fo r research is directlyear-marked for part iculardepartments that have a directinterest with research beingperformed at a corporation."

Palmer said."Anytime the normal incom-ing money for any college oruniversity dwindles, one feelsthe pressure to replace it withsomething else, then the needto find some outside sourcesmay be greater. Therefore, aninst itut ion must be run bythose who are aware of thesubtle influences that go on,"Palmer said."The Boston report claimed ,that there is evidence that thearts and hum anities are suffer-ing because colleges arerushing to -create new math,sc ience .and eng ineer ingcourses to attract more cor-porate donors.Palmer says that this maybetrue^to some extent, there isdefinately a much greater in-fluence; that of the students."They (the students) comein >with expectations aboutwhat they ultimately want toget when they graduate. Goodinst i tut ions, though, don' tevenjgive in to that totally,becausefthey must keep inmind the importance.of liberalarts.%. The Capital Campaign, cur-rently underway,\would seemto have been the perfect op-portunity for donors to voicetheir opinions. Not so, says Dr.PalmerJMosijjg^iup guidelines Detore they goout and ask for money. Theserules are understood andun iversa l l y accepted byeveryone who gives and is ask-ed to give.It is not at all unusual for thename of a corporation to beused somewhere on campus.The library will soon take thename of the well know papercompany, Hammermill, whorecently donated $250,000 tothe college. J | i |''But? that 's 5i t , " s tatesPalmer.? "There are no otherstrings attached. For example,this doesn't mean tharall thebooks - will be changed! toengineering books. We stillhave our own freedom to buywhatever books * we deemnecessary."p Mercyhurst College Presi-dent Dr. Wi l l iam {Garveystrongly agrees. Of the capitalfunds collected, approximate-ly $1 million is coming directlyfrom local business and in-dustry, and $250,00 of that iscoming solely from Hammer-mill . "The majority of fundswill come from friends of thecollege, the alumni, trustees,sisters and wealthy citizens ofthe community. So in a smallcollege -atmosphere, the cor-porate world is not a major fac-tor," Garvey states. IMercyhurst College has a$9.2 million budget. Of thisa m o u n t , a p p r o x i m a t e l y$100,000 f is furnished frombusiness and industry, ex-c l u d i n g f u n d s a t t a i n e dthrough the C apital Campaign.Garvey said ,4hat "fromthese facts alone, one can see

that industry is by no means amajor benefactor or supporterof this colle ge ."! J i"Onlyfl.3 percent of highereducations needs are met bycorporate contributions," JsayArthur Kamm erman, a memberwith the Council for FinancialAid to Education. f~$ I Jw Dr. Garvey reducesjj&thecharges of corporate controlon campuses, "There are over

2000 co lleges and suniver-sitites In this country, and thecorporate controlling of themmay be true in half of a dozencolleges. This report seems tobe greatly exaggerated."Garvey acknowledges thatMercyhurst 3 would< never ac-cept as gift which had a stringattached that would limit*thetrain of thought.

He also believes 99 pof the presidents of coacross the U.S. would fesame. PIt is an issue which doaffect 98 to 99 percent universities. Still, the Breport advises, "the extwhich corporate donahave strings attached to| gifts may actually limi diversity of thought."

The Annex is an exten-sion of the Erie ' CountyGeriatric Hospital.& The Annex, which Is locatedon Lake Pleasant Road in Erie,is run by the state. It presentlyhouses 78 patients. Most ofthe patients at the Annex arethose people who cannot af-ford other nursing homes.According to Donnelly, thenumber of patients per roomvaries. Some patients haveprivate rooms and othersshare a room with up to fiveother people. * * *M'They really | don't havemuch privacy; each patient'swhole horizon of life is withinhis own four w alls," Donnellysaid. Some of the patients donot have any relatives to visitthem. J S ;v{Donnelly went on to say that

"several of the patients arefortunate - they have once aweek visits from Mercyhurststudents."^ M e r c y h u r s t has 15volunteers who visit the pa-tients once a? week. "Thestudents bring a whole breathof fresh air and outside in-terests to the patients. Youhave to see it to believe howmuch -these visits are ap-preciated," Donnelly said."Visiting the Annex1; is arewarding experience in itself.The people are great and veryspecial. I only wish more peo-ple would become volunteersand give a little somethingmeaningful to the residents ofthe home," said JoAnne Koc-jancic, a volunteer.

"Students should star tthinking about joining the pro-gram in September/' Donnellysaid.

Commuters fail!toparticipate in councilBy Mary Frances LoncharicThe Mercyhurst CommuterCouncil, a fairly new organiza-t ion, needs new members.The Commuter Counci lbegan in the Fall of 1983 whena few concerned studentsrecognized the need for suchan organization on campus.

It wasn't until ^December1984 that this group wasrecognized ib y the studentgovernment as an officialorganization. This meant thatthe group would receive-thesupport of MSG, as well as theability to apply for funding fora special group activity.H Las t year t he counc i lorganized commuter morningcoffee breaks, and volleyballgames. 3 i ?*:The Commuter Council hasa bu lletin board in the lobby ofZurn called 'The CommuterCouncil Bull Board." The pur-pose of the board is to post in-formation and .activities thatcommuters would not ordinari-ly be aware of. ?The Commuter Council is asocial group. It was notorganized to help c learstudents of parking fines. It isa support group that enablescommuters to overcome thedisadvantages of living offcampus.:>/ Commuter Council memberJ*ynn, Piotrowicz,? said duringactivities weekend last yearJbe commuters formed a teamfor the Softball tournamentand had a 100 percent atten-dance. Unfortunately Ithe op-i^udtentSTafted to snoWTTne

commuter team split up andhad a game. #Some of the disadvantagesof being a commuter are occa-sionally being late for classes,and lack of accessibility to in-formation. Transportation canbe a problem for commuters,especially in the winter.Many commuters believethey do not make as manyfriends as opposed to theresidents. However, there areadv an t age s t o be i ng acommuter.Carol Gunter is a StudentGovernment {representativeand a member of the Com-muter Council. Associatingwith friends! on campus aswell as off campus is an ad-vantage Gunter sees as acommuter. f ^[i Many comm uters! believethey are outnumbered by theresidents. Statistics show thereverse.Marilyn Moore, AssistantRegistrar, provided the follow-ing figures for spring term inregards to ithe number ofresidents versus com muters.'The head count of studentsattending classes this term is1,573. The number of studentsliving on campus (dorms,Briggs, Sesler) is 631.
