daughter he was to marry, onlyto be told by his henchman ofthe daughter 's "uggllness."At this stage, Aelfrida ( JaneProsser) , now the wife of thehenchman, appears in all hersplendor, a truly beautiful woman,to contradict her husband's story.Thef henchman, in his psychological struggle, commits suicide,and, upon insistence of the king,is given a hero's funeral for hisloyalty.

Purposeful direction channels student participation intoworthwhile areas of concern! It does little good for studentsto be involved and to expend their energies in haphazarddirections. More often than not, this misspent energy aggravates rather than alleviates problems.Today, the gates are open. This campus, like a nationwide chain of schools: large, small, state-supported, private,male, or female, is experiencing a surge of enthusiasm fors tudent involvement.^ Alabama instigated concern; manystudents, never personally involved in anything before, feelcompelled f o do someth ing. $Unable to make the bus-trek to the heart of the problem,many students feel useless to the Civil Rights movements, iThey fail to realize their potential commitment to Civil Rightshere. Gannon's Sociology Club's tutoring project is one rewarding concrete experience in "championing the cause" asare a number of similar education projects that deal withnegro education, ranging from the instruction of toddlersto the ^tutoring of elderly adults in fundamentals off readingand writing.Catholic Family Movement's Interracial Home Visits canbe commended as can be the drive for voter registration, thefund-raising drive for the^BookerfT. Washington RecreationCenter, and so on. These, ! and a num ber of o ther projects,channel! enthusiasm^ f or involvement in the right direction:toward achieving the brotherhood of all men.There is also another important way to help: if time isnot available - try prayer.

Coffee House Plans FeasibleApparently In our tri-college community there exists:a lack of understanding and communication within various facets ofthe acade mic comm unity, between the. disciplines, between socialgroups, between races, between day stu dents and residents, betweenreligious and secular organizations;a lack of outlets for self-expression through creative thinking, tolerance of ideas land opinions different from our own, and avenuesfor the exchange of new ideas;almost a lack of place for fun, fellowship, and the meeting and makingof new friends;a lack of a common center for participation In the creative and expressive arts.True, outlets do exist in student art exhibitions, creative writingventures such as The Laureate and Judean Sand, and, to a degree, Indiscussion at the Gannon Lounge.But the establishment of a coffee house would provide a moreimmediate solution: it would provide a, stimulating environment J inwhich diverse groups, such as faculty and students, may communicatefreely; it would Insure a*forum forethoughts and ideas; it could?be

maintained as a non-profit center for fun, fellowship; it would promote a relaxed and open intellectual atmosphere necessary in an academic community.Granted, a coffee house would be nice. But is that all that it wouldbe? It could be a reality if a student group would Investigate the possibility of establishing the self-regulating enterprise, initially financedby parton memberships from the Erie community, from individualsand civic groups Interested In contributing a dollar or more to theCoffee House Fund. Obviously, Mercyhurst students can not do all ofthe planning; but they could do the groundwork for what could be abeneficial co-operative project.

From the Balcony . . .'M y Fair Lady Review

With the combination of Audrey Hepburn's radian) talentsand Rex Harrison's sophisticatedmagnetism in the light musical,"My Fair Lady," Warner Brothersfiguredf that they Just couldn'tlose. And, of course, they haven't.From the 1912 year of its birthin the play "Pygmalion," byGeorge Bernard Shaw, to its wondrous musical form as introducedby Alan Jay Lerner and FrederickLoewe to the Broadway stage in1956, "My Fair Lady" has neverbeen anything less than a hit.The picture opens with AudreyHepburn as Eliza Doolittle whostarts in tatters and violets inthe gutters of London. She possesses a most unfemlnine cockneyaccent.Her luck changes when shebumps into Professor 'enry *lg-gins, portrayed by Rex Harrison,who "adopts" her, subjects herto a linguistic experiment, refinesher language and manners, andpasses her off as a princess atthe Embassy BallThis motion picture reflects the

lyrical excitement of Shaw'scharacters, their high spirits, andexplosive indignation. The 'disin

terested conoeit of Hlgglm, hitdisregard for Eliza, and her rebellion against his high-handedself-absorption are Shavian delights whioh th e direotoi has il luminated with affection.The scenery, color, and wardrobe selections enhance the well-contrived plotnot to mentionthe perfect timing for such musi

cal favorites as "Wouldn't It BeLoverly," "With a Little Bit ofLuck," "I Could Have Danced AllNight," "On the Street WhereYou Live." and "I've Grown Ac-customed to Her Face."There is delight in the characterization of Eliza's father, AlfredP. Doolittle, played by StanleyHolloway, who is bewildered tobe one of the undeserving poorwho finds himself challengingmiddle-class morals. Higglns addsto the entertainment with his"I'm An Ordinary Man" and "AHymn to Him"one of the mostuproariously funny lines being,"Why can't a woman be like me?"T h i s Cinderella storyinwhich, happily enough, the clock

never seems to strike midnight-is a must for Easter-time theatergoers.

PresidentCharges have been made, andjustly so, that the MercyhurstCollege Student Government Association has locked itself in^anivory tower, acting as a group ofRapunzels when regulating thelife of the student body. Althoughthis feeling still exists to somedegree, advances have been madein the past three years to makeStudent Government a truly representative body, an integral partof the college community.istudent Government does aimat providing leadership | withinthe student' body; it does performservices for the students; and itdoes strive to create an awareness of college goals within theindividual. But Student Government!also tries t encourage thestudent to work with and throughthe organization, so that it maybecome the active student spokesman in issues and activities on

the campus andjin the community. General ParticipationStudent participation in S.G.A.originated projects has been effected an a num ber J of ways thisyear. Apart from members onstanding committees (Policy, Soci a l , Cultural, and Orientation),students have worked on manyS.G.A. working committees: nominating procedures, library study,SGA r es t ruc tu r ing , F a t h e r -Daughter Weekend, Winter Carnival, student travel, and snackbar.

"Is? Student Government effect ive?" This question is beingraised on campuses throughoutthe country. In an effort to findthe answer, Mercyhurst SGA,like similari college organizations,has begun a re-evaluation program.The purpose of this program isnot to write an entirely new constitution, but rather fto discoverth e .strong and weak points ofSGA, to capitalize on the formerand remedy the latter .Committee MembersUnder the leadership of Maryann Daly and Barbara Branzo-

vich, chairman and co-chairmanrespectively of the RestructuringCommittee, Rosalie Barsotti, Bonnie Brennan, Georgina Cantoni,Dottle Delaney, Gretchen Faller,Marty Feidler, Sue Geltch, JaniceHorvath, Mary Ann Kelly, iLinnieMcAllister, and Marikae Sorvelliare working tog ether to solvesome of the pressing issuesbrought to the attention of SGA.Some of these include: Shouldthe Merciad editor be given aseat on Government? Shouldthere be a Religious Activities Coordinato r represented on SGA?Should everyone on SGA be givenboth voice and vote? Should SGAbe enlarged? Should the socialand policy chairman's terms runfrom January to January?Students, Faculty PolledIn dealing with these problems,the Restructuring Committeenecessarily extended its work Inorder to analyze;the effectivenessof SGA. Because it was difficultfor the members of SGA to ob

jectively judge their organization's impact onlMercyhurst College, interviews with both students andjjfaculty members wereincluded in their planning. Twenty-five per cent of each class wereasked such questions as:1. Name 5 things SGA had donethis year .2 . Do you think S.G.A. is effective at Mercyhurst.3 . Do you regularly read theS.G.A. minutes?4 . At your class meetings, doyou get much from the explanation given by your representatives on the workings

of S.G.A.? |5 . When are S.G.A. meetingsheld? I I6. Have you ever attended anS.G.A. meeting?7. What do you think of the Orientation Program. CulturalSeries, Social Activities?7. Name 5 girls on S.G.A. an dgive their position.Twenty-fou r faculty m emberswere similarly questioned. Theanswers, as a whole, reflected notso much a disinterest in S.G.A. asan unawareness of its activities,Because of the candid views expressed during these interviews,S.G.A. will be able to definitelyimprove cultural, social andacademic activities next year.

The Restructuring Committeehas found that instead of structural revisions, which will be few,the emphasis of the revaluationprogram of S.G.A. must be placedon better communications between the organization, the faculty, and the student body.

why no one ever comes in to"visit." Perhaps it is because thereis nothing attractivejf in our office. By the end of the year,however, there should be a partial solution. Every S.G.A. memberwill submit a complete-' writtenreport of her government activities for the year. In this way,S.G.A. will have the necessaryreferences, for studen t interest,as well as for all j future S.G.A.activities.Members of S.G.A.At present, Student Government officers are classified in thefollowing way:PresidentPeggy Hock.Vice PresidentSandy Selva.SecretaryBarb Branzovich.Senior Resident RepresentativeKathie Mahaney.Senior Day Student RepresentativeJudy Figaski.Sophomore Day Student RepresentativeKarensButts.Freshman Resident RepresentativeLinnie McAllister.Freshman Day Student Representative^Georgina Cantoni.Dorm Council PresidentBarb

Committee ChairmanMaryann Daly.Policy J Committee ChairmanMary Ann^Kelly.Orientation Committee ChairmanCarole Stoiber.Cultural Committee ChairmanMary Fiedler.Each of the second group ofrepresentatives has voice onS.G.A. SAn investigation is now beingconducted to discover if thisstructure is the most effective formeaningful representation anddecision.A student government, by itsnature, cannot avoid being concerned with students; a student,by his situation, should not avoidbeing concerned with StudentGovernment.Dorm Council, an organizationworking under SGA, this yeareffected a change in a social ruleof the college. New drinking regulations were proposed by a committee of four, Barb Brairton,Mary Fisher, Maggie Harrisonan d Kathie Mahaney, at the beginning of second semester, andpassed by the deans of residenceand administration. These regulations, another vital step towardthe development of self-government and personal responsibility,make it possible for Seniors whoa r e ! twenty-one years of age todrink alcoholic beverages at social gatherings, provided! tha ttheyjare not college functions.

And the work of S.G.A.'sPolicy Committee is almost assteady during the Spring monthsas April showers.One of the duties of PolicyCommittee is the scheduling ofall contests that are not sponsored by on-cam pus organizations. In addition, it publicizes

and handles these elections. Italso determines and lists qualifications for ofices in conjunctionwith clubs.

It definitely attemptedito shake peoples' consciencestohave them see that there is a so-|Jcial problem needing a solution.More practically, it attempted topressure the Alabama governmentto provide le gislati on! protectingthe right to register and vote,"observed Michael Cashore, Mer-eyhurst theology instructor, recently returned from Montgomery.Under the sponsorship of S.G.A.,Mr. Cashore and John Lincourt,Mercyhurst philosophy instructor,joined an Erie delegation of 26traveling to Montgomery to participate in the Montgomery CivilRights march and |demonstra t ion.

JourneyLeaving Erie, Tuesday, March2 3 , and stopping only to refuel thebus and to eat, the delegation arrived in St. Jude City, a Catholicmission center, thre e miles outside Iof Montgomery, Wednesday evening. At the center, the group wasmet by three St. Jude neighborhood ladies who took the entireErie delegation into their homes,providing them with food andshelter for the night. j

Having been established inhomes, the group then attendedth e pre-march rally at which manydistinguished performers entertained. "The rally certainly raisedou r spirits,"!smiled! Mr. Cashore,^besides 5 providing us with thenecessary briefing for the march."MarchThursday morning, after anhour and a half formation period,th e three-mile marchjinto Montgomery began. It was climaxed onthe steps of the capitol buildingwhere a prayer service | led byMartin Luther King was held.Immediately after the service theErie delegation began their return tr ip, arriving in Erie Fridayevening. f"Many of the Southerners wereobviously surprised that so manywould come fromf so far away toprotest a seemingly small incident" commented Mr. Lincourt.As I marched, I did wonder justwhat were peoples' reasons forcoming. One woman I asked wasa sixty-year-old grandmother fromRhode Island, Bonnie Day. Mis .Day marched one-half of the distance between Selma and Mont

gomery before her feet gave out,she then hopped a plane to Montgomery to be there at the end ofthe march. Mrs. Day rgUed tomy question, "Nine grandchildren^I want them to Wo w up in aworld in which all men are equal.

"I want my children to knowthe true story of the Selma situation. That's|why I'm here," statedanother marcher, Amadeo Adeo-dama, father of five, researchscientist at Albert Einstein Medical Center and visiting professorat Manhattanville College of the

After the vigil con -ducted by John Malinowski, Gannon theology instructor, Mr.Cashore and Mr. lincourt, |justreturned from the > Montgomerymarch, discussed it with | thos epresent.acred Heart."Perhaps then the most immediate effect of the march was that kA A * I A Qit brought to the world an aware- I V I V * L- r ^ ness that a problem in one placeaffects people everywhere," sug- A A o Y l f * 3 1 1gested Mr. Lincourt. | I Y W A I W O I ITh at the enthusiasm of the Erie!marchers will not die, Mr. Lincourt has been named chairmanof the Freedom Committee, whichwill promote inter-racial understand ing Mn the Erie area.

"Mercyhurst is on the move!"With this idea, Miss Arabella Fry,Director of Developm ent, views jmany "firsts.""Firsts""The new Science and Artsbuilding, a $1,700,00 structure,will be completed by September1966 and will provide facilities foralmost double our present enrollment."Another "first"!is the Michael J.Relihan Lecture Series which willbring to the campus each year||outstanding scholars J n the fieldof education. Another, the CollegeDevelopment Fund, will be usedto bridge the gap between tuitionI fees and operation costs by| supplementing such budget items asfaculty salaries, laboratory facilities and library additions.

I Enrollment IncreaseWhat a far cry from the Mercyhurst of 1926! "Some of the mostinteresting facts concerning theexpansion of Mercyhurst from thetime of its founding in 1926," speculated Miss Fry, "are these statistics: the first class graduatedhere consisted of four girls in1 9 2 9 . In 1930, the first c harte rclass graduated 15fgirls. ThroughTraining Stresse

Mercyhurst's newest group of lay apostles, the Mercyhurst College Latin AmericanProgram, (MCLAP) is meeting.The seven seniors and juniors |meet with Sister M. de Montfort|and Lupita Duarte, a sophomorestudent from Yucatan, for spiritua l and cultural preparation inorder to teach in Merida, Mexico.Next December, after fourmonths of language training, twoseniors, Julie O'Mahoney an dFran Herman, will arrive in Merida. Julie, a cadet from Grove City,Pa., and Fran, an English majorfrom Youngstown, Ohio, will teachEnglish at Rogers Hall, a Mary-knoll school for 1200 girls.The juniors in the program areKathy Fitzgerald, program chairman; Bonnie Brennan, MarianneKing, Kathy Kaufmann, an dMarina Antonucci.The program began a year agowhen Pat Delaney, a Gannon graduate who spent two years teaching in Merida, spoke at Mercy

hurst. Following his talk, threegirls asked Sister M. de Montforthow they could work in LatinAmerica. After meeting with Patand Rev. James Peterson, themoderator of the St. Thomas MoreClub's Yucatan program, Sister M.de Montfort initiated a trainingsession for the 1964-65 schoolyear. Pat Delaney established theconnection with Rogers Hall.Backing and financial supportis provided in part by the Sundaymission collections at Mercyhurst.Training sessions were held at theThomas More's Mariapouse firstsemester and at Mercyhurst thissemester. 1 Mexican life and customs, as well as the lay apostolate.are the main discussion topics.Participation in the program hasled to other activities. The Mercyhurst students participated in theInternational Weekends held bythe More Club. They took part inthe recent CICOP weeka weekpromoting interest in Latin Americawhich was planned by a Mercyhurst-Gannon committee. In addition six students attended aconference on L atm | America a tNotre Dame University, April 3 -4.

th e 30's an d 40's, the largest classto graduate was the class off1949which contained 57 girls."Miss Fry pointed out that ofthe 1400 graduates here, bettertha n half of these girls have grad uated since 1955. The present en-rollment is about 484 and triple!the 160 students in 1940. sSmall College Problems ,The rapidly rising costs of today underline the biggest problems facing all small liberal artscolleges. Miss IFry expressed that"many authorities say that a college has to have an enrollment ofone thousand students, or more, to *meet operating budgets. We don'twant M ercyhurst to get ?tha tlarge!"Miss Fry attributes the two-foldproblem facing Mercyhurst to thesize of enrollment. "We want tokeep Mercyhurst small enough togive the type of personalized.Christian education for which wewere founded," stated Miss Fry."But also, the college must^growlarge enough so that it . can befinancially iself-supporting. It isnot easy to reconcile these twoequally important objectives/*^ J Raison d'EtreMiss Fry emphatically stressedthe "personal touch" as being oneof the most important reasons forMercyhurst's existence. She-! alsoplaced much emphasis on the college's "built-in" endowmentthecontributed services of the Sisters;"This is one advantage that wehave over many private liberalarts colleges," explained Miss Pry."but it is not enough. It helps tobridge the gap between tuition andthe actual per capita cost of educating the student body, but moreis needed."| if*The recently-received grants plusthe first Annual Alumnae FundDrive inaugurated the "new andexciting expansion!of "MercyhurstCollege." Thus , it was with a ceistain confidence tha t Miss Fry a nnounced: ^"Mercyhurst is on themove!"

. . . Happiness lis a sp orts c arHappiness Is...

By Judy Pitney To Charles Schultz's Peanuts characters, happiness is "a warmpuppy," "three friends in a sandbox with no fighting," "some blackorange, yellow, white, and pink jelly beans, but not green ones," and"the hiccups . . . after they're gone away."To collegians, happiness in the Springtime is also many things:from shedding Winter coats to window shopping to finding a date for"harbor lights" weekend.Happiness Is where the camera was and in many more places:unwinding on the tennis court, sloshing through the mud-slush, dodgingrain drops and 1 ast-of-the-season snow balls, or scooting along a countr y roadon a bike or in a convertible.Hap pines is a check in the morning mail, the?blue slingbacks inRichard's window, or the hot fudge sundae at the Dungeon. jjHappiness is a "Garvey Test" well done, a Health Poster finishedon time, or a lab experiment|that actually works. |Happiness can be found in a friendly smile, in the quiet peace ofthe chapel, or in the knowledge that you mean a great deal to otherpeople. *Happiness comes withfthe phone call from "him", with the firstbuttercups of the season, with the first hint of a sun tan.Happiness belongs to the child, to the carefree teen-ager, to theyoung parent, to the content grandfather.Happiness is everywhere for everyone for all timesHappiness isliving.
