"I feel it's important thathe students see the MSG moneyput to good use on campus, and appreciate all the supporeveryone has offered towards thesuccess of this project," he addedThe total cost of the renovation, including the reception, i$10,000. The funds were providedby the MSG and the administration who each gave $5,000.Some of the remodeling hasbeen done by outside contractorsbut much of it has been accomplished by work-studystudents and Rich Lanzillo.Marjorie McDennott, directorof the Mercyhurst Student Union,said that she is delighted with thes tu d en ts ' exc i t emen t an deveryone** cooperation with thepainting and carpentry."It's a really nice area to*beproud of.

Mental Hea lth Coun selorOn Cam pus WinterTermlA mental health counselor hasbeen acquired through St. VincentHealth Center to work one-halfday each week at the college.M i r i a m M a s h a n k , a d -ministrative member of the col-lege senate and director offreshmen studies, said if the Cam -pus Life Committee approves ofthe arrangements, a counselor willbe available to students beginningwinter term. J*Judy Wieczorek, sociology in-s t ru ctor , L i n d a Loch n er

Williams, faculty member ofCampus Life, and Mashankrecently went to St. Vincnet's toobtain final details concerningcounseling services.A senior counselor at thehospital who has f dealt withvarious types of counseling for 15years has been assigned to aidMercyhurst students with theirpersonal problems."He appears to be a well-rounded, well-educated, and well-prepared counselor," statedMashank."We wanted to make certainthe counselor was a well-qualifiedperson who will render our

students," she added.Payments process was alsodiscussed while at St. Vincent's."The hospital has agreed thatservices will be of no cost to thestudents or the college providedthe student receives counseling o ncampus," stated Mashank.Mashank said each student's in-surance will cover counseling costbut if the student does not wanttheir parents to know they arereceiving counseling, then in-surance forms will not benecessary. nMashank also wanted to beassured "that all aspects of con-fidentiality will be preserved."'All records and files w ill not bekept on campus. Instead, thecounselor will keep j personarecords at St. Vincent's.According to the StudentsAssistance Programs published bythe St. Vincent Serenity Program,"the Student Assistance Programwill not interfere with internalschool po licies or disciplinary pro-cedures, will not provide names ofstudents using the services volun-tarily, and will not be involved ininsurance negotiations."

Counselor To Face rjStudent Stress EpidemicMercyhurst College has gone long enough without the ser-vices- of a mental health counselor and this problem hasrecently been resolved. The timeliness of the administration'sappointment of a part-time counselor and the recent release

of the College Press Service (appearing on page 6) saying thatthe student stress epidemic is spreading, both prove that it ishigh time Mercyhurst opens its gates to a counselor.It is no secret that more and more students are becomingdepressed over the bleak state of the economy, the depressedjo b market, and constant academic pressures. Students arebeginning to realize in the 1980's that a college diploma doesnot automatically guarantee a job in their chosen Held aftergraduation.All of these factors are working to augment the levels ofstudent stress at colleges and universities throughout thecountry. Mercyhurst College is no exception. In add ition, themere adjustment to college life, especially for freshmen, con-tributes to the high degree of stress and frustration.A mental health counselor should be available at every col-lege. The major and minor problems a counselor could attendto are endless. For example, suicidal tendencies, drug andalcohol problems, and peer or professor conflicts exist oncampus now and should be dealt with professionally.*As Susan-Bowling, president of the American Personneland Gu idance Association's college counseling division, says:"More students are talking about their frustrations an d pro-blems. We have a psychologically-aware generation of youngpeople coming into college,, and they aren't afraidsto seekassistance."If Bowling is correct, then the immediate employment of amental health counselor at Mercyhurst College is mandatory.Although it is not practical to hire a full-time counselorbecause of the size of the school and because of the cost, thecollege can't afford not to secure the services of a part-timecounselor. The student stress problem must be dealt withnow, and must be dealt with effectively.

LetterParty IRules fExplainedTo : Townhouse and MercyhurstApartment Residents ^Last weekend one of the Mer-cyhurst apartments had a "bash "which was advertised in the Mer-ciad. This attracted the attentionof two different groups from offthe^ campus. One consisted; ofseveral groups of high, schoolstudents. The other was the Li-quor Control Board. The Collegeis not interested in having eithergroup on campus when yousocialize.Let me remind you of the rulesand regulations again. In the Stu-dent Code the section on alcoholstated that "Students . . . mustabide by all the existing regula-tions concerning the use of suchbeverages as! defined by thestatutes of Pennsylvania." Thelaws of Pennsylvania state (Sec.6308), "A person commits a sum-mary offense if he, being less than21 years of age, attempts to pur-chase, purchases, consumes,possesses or transports anyalcohol, liquor or malt or brewedbeverages." There is another law

dealing with speakeasies. Thepenalties there 1 are much moresevere. If you are selling alcoholicbeverages and you are arrested,you then have a record. Besidesthe penalties you would incur youwould also have that haunt yourcareer.The College has tried to take amoderate and tolerant stance topromote socialization among ourstudents. Large parties advertisedby posters and newspaper ads thatpromote and suggest that alcoholwill be sold are illegal. The Col-lege cannot support tthat or theconduct that sometimes results invandal ism and . irrationalbehavior. The tone of these large*parties which supports a "bash'*mentality is contrary to the toneof an academic purpose of a col-lege community.I n k e e p i n g w i t h * t h i sphilosophy, Lam instructing theResident Assistants to "shutdown" any party at .whichalcoholic beverages are sold. Thatincludes all the "dodges" of sell-ing the cups, the food, etc., andnot the beverage. You may enter-tain your friends, you may notcharge them .Any further abuses of modera-tion in these matters will result Inplacing you in jeopardy of losingcampus housing.Sincerely,Phyllis Aiello Director of Housing and Safety

to state that on the ballots. Theelection committee consideredthat step, but opted against it.Their reasoning stemmed from afear of students voting for peoplethey did not know.

A Ronco Christmasby Maree-Lynn CiconChristmas and gift giving. Youm i g ?h t b e t h i n k -ing . . . A w . . . C ' m o n , . . .give me a break! It's only thebeginning of December! . . .Unfortunately, that is preciselythe point. Because of recenteconomic trends, it appears thatevery year in the sales industrymore emphasis is placed on thepopulation's holiday purchases.Most companies success or failurein a business year depends on thatChristmas sales performance. Soin these times of recession whenunemployment is high and moneyis tight, that battle for theChristmas dollar is fierce. It usedto be that companies waited untilafter Thanksgiving to 5push theChristmas sales. Now it seemsthat Halloween signals the beginn-ing of t gift-buying season, aslights and trees vie with ghoulishcostumes for store floor space.

Nevertheless, currently we arebeing reminded that the time to doour holiday shopping is NOW 1 Infact, as you sulk through the mall,see the advertisements in thenewspapers rOr watch the televi-sion commercials, you almost feelguilty for not buying long ago.The tools the sales industry useto induce the consumer to con-sume however, are various. Ob-v i o u s l y , d e c o r a t i o n s a r eeverywhere Hn stores Christmascarols can be heard crackling overloudspeakers, and one can onlyguess what archives they pulledsome of those records out of. Foronce I'd like to hear Kaufmann's splay Devo's rendition of "HaveY o urs e l f a M erry L i t t l e

Christmas." And then there arethose shrieking musical bells thatare electronically, programmed toplay 1001 original (not plagiariz-ed, I guess) Christmas selections. Iguess no house is reall a homewithout a set.However, the pinnacle of theconsumer sales blitz has to be thebarrage of holiday television com -mercials. Every holiday4 season,the biggest thrill I know is to guesswhat new Christmas product theRonco Co. has invented in orderto ease the pains of mankind. Iguess it's the; "Ronco PocketFisherman," because it hasrevolutionized the lives of so

Maree-Lynn Ciconmany. If you really think about it,could Julia Child chop, dice, peel,or slice potatoes three differentways without her set of "Ronco'sGinsu Knives?** I mean . . . whobuys kegs anymore when you canhave a boss party with a "RoncoBrewmaster?" But the epitome ofthe useful Ronco product line hasto b e! the infamous "Mr.Microphone." The fact that "Mr.Microphones" have been used ex-clusively by the Rolling Stones on

their recent world tour has pro-bably led to their' immensepopularity.It appears that the fond Holi-day memories of today's "youthwill be of "Merry Chtistmas,Happy New Year, and K-Telpre sen ts. ... " Pretty soon they'llbe trying to tell us that the new It-Tel album, "S lim Whitman SingsLed Zepplin's Greatest Hits" isthe party album of the year.But this year specifically,anything computer is the voguegift for that special person onyour list. Unfortunately, theaverage person can barely affordthe price of the video cartridge letalone the whole computer gamesystem. H owever, television videoloversi are in luck, as the E.T.Atari game is out in time forChristmas. That is commendable,since the overexposure of the E.T.character will no doubt encourageAtari fans? to vent out theirfrustrations and doom the Extra-Terrestrial to life on earth.No, I'm not:anti-Santa, anti-gift (yes, I do get a few every year)or anti-media. ItJ-does appear,though, : that I'm anti-Roncodoesn't it?

HotelRestaurant major, Mary Fatigati,is the first student from the Hurstto participate, spending fall termat Disney World.Only 400 students from acrossthe country are selected for theMagic Kingdom College Pro-grams held each semester.Mercyhurst Coordinator ofCooperative Education, James In-fantino explained our involve-ment with the Disney World pro-gram. The concept was suggestedby a student, Tim McFarland,who was a former worker atDisney World. McFarland in-troduced the idea | to Infantinowho asked him to follow up onthe information. A few letterslater, Infantino was contacted byDisney World coordinator,Georgann Perock. She informedhim of the program details and in-vited Mercyhurst to attend thenext interview session at SlipperyRock State College.It was during this interview thatFatigati became our first par-ticipator, and Infantino is pleasedwith the opportunities this pro-gram can provide."This program can be asbeneficial as a student wants it tobe . . . they've got to show in-itiative," explained Infantino.Both Gunther and Vona have

this initiative and an eagerness toprove and improve their abilities."It's as much an educational op-portunity as it is a job," Gunthercommented.S It is from this educational basisthat Infantino outlined the ex-perience from the standpoint ofearning academic credit.7Working the same as any co-op,the students are required to turnin a weekly log, the employer(Disney World)* will send a mid-

Gunther and Vona are planningto get a lot out of it. "I just feelthat it's an opportunity we justcouldn't pass up," commentedVona.Vona and Gunther traveled toSlippery Rock in Septembenforan interview. When they learnedhow few applicants are accepted,they decided their chances wereslim. Two weeks after the inter-views, they received acceptanceletters from Disney World.

Lisa Gunther and Mary Kay Vonaterm and final evaluation and afinal paper concerning an aspectof the experience will be turned in-to the sch ool. This final project isbased on the requirements of thefaculty coordinator through theco-op office."I tailonthe needs dependingon what the department wants,"Infantino explained, emp hasizing."They (the participating students)must get s something out of it orwe don't give academic credit."

From \ January 30th throughMay 7th they will be a part of theDisney "cas t," attending* twohour classes once a week andworking a minimum of 30 hoursper week. Classes cover areasr a n g i n g f r o m " D i s n e yMarketing," "Disney 'ResortM a na g ement / ' to "DisneyEntertainment,''It may sound like it's all in fun,but the rules are definite. Class

This look includes aninsistence on a natural hairstyleand subdued make-up, shoe anddress requirements, jand evenfingernails which are to be keptwithin one quarter inch above thefinger. Despite these rules, bothstudents are looking forward tothe experience.>They will be living in a trailerwith two other girls adjoining?akitchen and a second trailer, hous-ing eight all together. But this isall part of what they want."Exposure to people all overthe United States and world,"commented Vona, as being one ofthe most exciting aspects of theco-op.With all of this that DisneyWorld has to offer, would thegirls consider staying on with thepark? Jf f"Sure, if the opportunity isthere," they commented. Addingthat ninety-five; percent of thepromotions come from within.tThis confidence comes fromtheir respect for Mercyhurst.i "Ithink the background that wehave both received . . . hasprepared us well," commentedGunther. j,Vona also looks forward to theopportunity with confidence, "Ihope this experience opens thedoor for other Mercyhurststudents."Either Disney World or therecently opened EPCO T Center isgaining two valuable students intheir merchandising department.Erie Playhouse To Present

Proposal AcceptedGovernment RepresentativesTo Attend Department Meetings[By Karen Merkle ^ ^ ^ ^Opposition has diminished con-cerning, a recent stu dent govern-ment proposal to allow MSGrepresentatives to sit in on theirrespective departmental meetings.Earlier there were rumors offaculty resistance concerning thepolicy. ;"The vast majority of the facul-ty were supportive of the pro-posal," said M SG President RichLanzillo.,He added that the dissentionwhich was evident was merelyfrom faculty members who had

questions concerning the motiva-tion for the proposal.The proposal, conceived byLanzillo, was introduced to"provide an information link bet-ween representatives and depart-ments," and so that "represen-tatives can bring meaningful inputto the meetings."Though nothing too criticaltranspires in the meetings, Lan-zillo feels that it is important thatthe f representatives interact withdepartment heads.Lanzillo said that a few facultymembers were especially concern-

ed with the presence of represen-tatives at the meetings when sen-sitive issues were being discussed,such as other students in Stheprogram.A c c o r d i n g t o L a n z i l l o ,allowances would be made formeetings where these issues w ouldbe on the agenda.Lanzillo then spoke,to DeanDavid Palmer, who agreed to im-plement the policy.The representative should beginattending the meeting soon, andLanzillo expects reports at the up-coming MSG meeting.

By Mary Jo AllenThe majority of Mercyhurststudents will, at one time oranother, encounter a laboratoryscience course. These courses arebilled differently from otherclasses. ~Sally Fyke, of student accounts,explained how the student ischarged. "Look at the schedule, ifnrsays thffee and one (under*thecredit value) . . .the one is billedas a lab fee." There are two ex-ceptions to this. One, the fourcredit courses, are billed for fourcredits. The second is a studentoption.If a graduating senior finds heor she is a credit under the 120 re-quirement, they may obtain per-mission to use a lab credit. "Theywill have to pay, (for the credit)and receive the Academic Dean'sapprov al," Fyke explained.It was Academic Dean David

Palmer who clarified whichstudents are required to take a labb e f o r e g r a d u a t i n g ; fr o mMercyhurst/"I think the present seniors arethe last class to have the option tot a k e t w o m a t h c o u r s e s .Thereafter, students are required
