Merciad Interview

Studen t Pres id en t Assesses Ca m pus G ov ernm en tRich Lanzillo, president of the

Mercyhurst Student Govern-ment, was recently interviewedby the Merciad. The following is atranscript of his views andassessments of student govern-ment this year."?- S& E*>

Q. What is your assessment ofstudent government this year?

A. Overall greatly improved inall areas. Internally in thegovernment, when I say internal-ly I mean the representatives,are the best we've ever had. Theyare also the most active. This

year rather than in years in thepast most of* the interactionwould take place by the officers.This year most of the work is be-ing done by the representatives.There is a lot more interaction inthe meetings and they're takingpart and participating in a lotmore programs. * -J^Activities are going adequate-ly. The officers are performingwell. f*Tn pleased with every onof the officers this year.They a reall doing a fine Job. This yearwe're probably the most visiblestudent government ever. I meanmore people know of us this yearor have seen us through a lot ofdifferent ways. With our new of-fice and our new office hours peo-ple see us that way. **£

Arid?also something that'shelped is a new philosophy w e've

picked up this year. It's kind ofgiving us a dual role. One, ofcourse, is a policy-making andrecommending body which issomething that's the most impor-tant thing of course. And second-ly we ar e also a service organiza-tion. And some of the things thatcan be seen are our check-cashing service, our shuttle ser-vice to the airport and bus sta-tion, our long-distance charteredbus service, and so on. {.

Of course, that's subordinate toour first role. And that's policymaking and recommending. Andso far this year we've reacted toevery major issue that's takenplace on campus. So far we'vechanged visitation hours inseveral of the dorms, we'vewitnessed the completion ofseveral of our projects: the com-pletion of the Egan lounge, thecompletion of the renovations ofthe Back Porch (Me, w e've hadspecial forums on the mast plan,we're^ completing a StudentGovernment point-of-view on the

master plan, and a lot of otherthings of course. » j»\ .„

But so far I'd say this year, thegovernment is th e best ever andI'm also looking for a lot moreimprovement in the*future. ButI'm very'happy with the way it'sgone so far. If I had to assess anyproblem with it so far, it is that ofimage and public relations. Un-fortunately, not everyone knowswhat we are doing, all the thingsStudent Government has been do-ing this yean Most people willnever get to see a student govern-

ment meeting. They won't seehow well a meeting is run, whatgoes on there,? how well theirrepresentatives are j performingfor them, and how well they arerepresenting them. £S|U ,:

Most people won't even noticesome of the services we do. Mostpeople walk * by : the studentgovernment office door andnever look in. We'd like to correctthat. Although that bothers me;it's not a major problem becausejust because people, don't knowwe're doing a good job, doesn't

negate the fact that we're reallydoing them a service, we're per-forming well. Although we'd likepeople to know what we are doingin here, if they don't, it won't killus.'We'll still be just as good astudent government.

Q. Were the student govern-ment elections successful? Howdo you view the newly electedSteps? *_ .M ^JufafA.OK,*as to whether they were

successful or not, they were themost successful elections we'veever held, especially in that area.In the past, student governmentelections for representativeswere "bushleague." They werenever held at regular pollingspots. They were never held asregular elections; uniform,legitimate elections. And thevoter turnout was so low it was

barely measurable. I mean that'show poorly they were run in the|past. They were run fantasticallyby Maree-Lynn Cicon and herelections committee. The newforma tiran better-than we ever

expected. We had a higher voterturnout for this election than weever did in the past for any otherelection, representative and, Ibelieve, officer also. I'd have tocheck the records on tha t. But itwas a fantastic election morepeople voted for it than ever. And

it gave the reps a lot more atten-tion than ever before.

That's another major changethat no one's really going tonotice. That if they can thinkback to the elections in the pastand compare them to the elec-tions that we just held, there is nocomparison.. ^.. -. As for the new reps, and I'mreally pleased with all of them,most of them, or the freshmenreps - Greg Yoko, Tony Shaley,and Dave Alexander - have beenin here so far, we've talked to

them,and they want to get towork, they want to do stuff andthe first thing I want to do withthem is appoint them to some

committee and really get theminto the work right away. I don'want them sitting around doingnothing because every representative should be doing somethingI've got a lot of plans for them.

Commuter Rep VoicesConcern At StudentGovernment Meeting*

The Mercyhurst studentgovernment meeting on Tuesday,December--1, began with Com-muter Representative Tim Ber-nikJ voicing vario us problemscommuters had concerning thecollege. The most pressing pro-blem presented was the $12 park-

ing ticket which commuters mustpurchase. ~»SB

According to Bernik, com-mute rs feel the price is unfair. Hepointed out thai the sticker is nottransferable to other cars whichcommuters may have to drive tothe college. *

Another.* comm uter problem,said Bernik, results from he lackof some type of shelter area forthose who nave to stand in badweather while* waiting for thebus;. In a different area Berniksuggested ̂ commuter access tothe lockers in the student union tostore books and other material/,U The shuttle bus service seemedto be a big success, according toPresident Rich Lanzillo. Approx-

imately 76 students needed theservice and were driven free ofcharge to either the aiport or thebus station. However, it wasrecognized that in the futurethere will be a $1.00 charge to the| airport and 50 cents charge to thebus station. *.

[. Next, it was recognized byVice-president Mary Baldaufthat if the buses were to go to thesame areas for Christmas vaca-tion they would need 25 more peo-p l e fo r P i t t s b u r g h ^ a n dPhiladelphia and 50 more peoplefor Buffalo.n Baldauf then gave the studentactivity committee report. Shereminded students of theChristmas party at Belle Valleywhich will: be held Saturday,December 5, from 8:00 p.m.Uo12:00 a.m. Buses will leave fromBaldwin Hall and the price is$3.00. Baldauf added that you donot need a date in order to attend.Also, it was^announced thatClaudia Englert was the new SACVice-chairperson.HHHs

By Fran Moavero •, The new security system in-stalled in the library to reducethe loss of stolen material hasbeen operating for two weeks, ac-cording to Joanne Cooper, LRCdirector, j *&* £ * «**fi

B o o k s , m a g a z i n e s , a n dreference material were sensitiz-ed during the summer with a thin

metallic device that cannot beseen if one is looking for it. JAs one walks through the

system upon exiting the library,all books, briefcases, purses andi clothing are detected for anymaterial that is being taken fromthe library. r gfc£ i*j When a student checks out abook, it is desensitized, meaningthe metal piece is removed fromthe material by a machine. Thisprevents the alarm from soun-ding when a student exits the'library.| The material is then resensitiz-ed with the metal detectivedevice when the student returnsthe material that was borrowedfrom the library. &' ? i'p The system has already provento be effective. Twenty four hoursafter the system was installed,

the security system detected astudent trying to walk out with[material from the library. 3

The student apparently thoughthe could beat the system bywalk-ing out with a page hehad rippedout from a magazine. The securi-ty system detected the page fromthe magazine that was j beingtaken from the library, and as ar̂esult the alarm sounded.

The alarm system has been ac-curate in detecting materials be-ing taken from the library. Thealarm may sound if books ar e notchecked out properly;' s^**| A student caught by the securi-ty system with materials ripped[out of books and magazines willbe-sent to Student Services fordisciplinary action.

"The loss of materials has beereduced to 85 per cent at othelibraries," said Joanne Coope"We have the same security aGannon and Edinboro. I woulexpect we would have the samresults."* J t j S £

In the past, much money waspent replacing stolen materialDuring the summer $3,000 wa

s p e n t r e p l a c i n g m i s s i nreference books.The new system will preven

materials from being taken out othe library withoutbeing checkeout properly. This will leavmore money in the budget fonew books. "The budget will gfor buying new materials insteaof replacing missing m aterialssaid Cooper. *

More material will also bavailable to students due to threduction of stolen books"Material will be more accessble to students because it wonbe going out the door so quicklyadded Cooper,•rffie security system has noreduced the number of studenwho work at the lib rary. Studenwho inspected books and briecases did not lose their jobs. Th

now work behind the desk ancheck out books that have to bd e s e n s i t i z e d . W o r k - s t u dstudents will also be doing an inventory of all the books in thlibrary. "̂Before material wadisappearing too quickly to do inventory," rem arked Cooper. L-

The students who work behinthe desk a re also responsible foasking students to come back ithe alarm systen does detecmaterial being taken from thlibrary. 'The students will onllose their jobs if the alarm gooff and they don't ask them tcome back," Cooper explained.

"Those who work at the librarare cooperative," she added"We'll be getting a lot of responsibility with the system.^ Jg)

RoundTable gRepS

The roundtable concept studentgovernment ̂ plans to instituteWinter term will make th egovernment a more-efficiently

functioning entity on campus. ^The concept calls fora subcom-mittee of representatives to meet'and discuss one specific subject.Members of the Mercy hurst com-munity interested in the area tobe discussed would also be en-couraged to attend these round-tables and provide additional in-put. After reaching a conclusion,the roundtable then reports to thegovernment where the entirebody takes voting action. | g g

This procedure i should effec-tively free the government fromthe sometimes tedious bog ofspecial interest groups at themeetings/Ideally, governemntmeetings should be actionorienteu *rather£ than forumoriented TheJ roundtable pro-vides the opportunity for a freeflow of ide as on a subject without?hampering the voting process afatthe government meetings. «ri 9fp

For roundtables to work sup-;,cessfully, however, they must be,.directed toward solutions a£!ali.times. Otherwise the roundtaplesrun the risk of wallowing in poolsof thoughtful indecision.

The implementation of theroundtable concept brings therepresentatives closer to thecommunity ̂ This in turn helps thegovernment

C u l t s and Sec t s :F a t h e r D i v i n e

Joseph Washington has givenus the basic insight we need inorder to understand why cultshave proliferated among blackpeople in the contemporaryworld. Black sects and cults arethe result of the effort by theblack community to unite beliefin God with action in the com-munity in a radical way. "Black

sects and cults are created,"Washington says in his bookBlack Sects and Cults p.57, "inthe failure of the larger society."

One Pentecostal minister fromChicago, Arthur Brazier, makes

rat quite clear what he thinks therole of the black sect and cult ismeant to be. He-writes: "Wewant racists jjand all theirbedfellows to know that we arenot going to run away from thisland.'which was made great bythe blood and sweat of ourforefathers, long before today'sracists came to this country.While seeking self-determinationwe are not called for a self-imposed segregation. This is theland of Jean Baptiste Dusableand we shall insist on the right tolive, work, go to school, and playanywhere we can afford." (op citP 7 1 ) % I i - I;' v

This minister intends to carveout a good life for himself and hispeople right where they live. Thefunction of religion, in hisestimate, is to do everythingpossible to improve life where itneeds improvement* to.fight in-justice wherever it appears, andto develop the power, throughreligion that is needed to resisttne fo?ces oT'evfTan^oppressionA sound self-image, a strongidentity at home and in themarket place, dignity, jobs, hous-ing, food, are the commoditieswhich the black sect and cult ismeant to produce in the opinion ofRev. Arthur Brazier. Preaching,music, speaking in tongues areall important aspects of churchlife but they mean nothing in thisview of religion if they are not

associated with housing, employ-ment, hygiene, and good health.That disposition is the {"cultbehind the cult." 1 •;

Thousands of small black cultshave sprung up in., the major!cities of the United States in thiscentury, They are symbolic of thedesperate condition in which

bla c k pe ople ha ve foundthemselves. Some of these cultsembody the philosphy of "th e cultbehind the cult," that is, genuineconcern for the improvement ofconditions among blacks. Not allof the black cults embodies thisauthentic "cult behind the cult"theology and procedure. Some ofthem are grossly commercial in

their intent and operation. TheRev. Clarence Cobb of the FirstChurch of Deliverance leads oneof those.

Cobb pulls all the stops, goodluck charms, healing, advice,electric guitars, pianos, a swing-ing choir, and uses them all forcommercial profit, for the mostpart his own. The same can besaid of Daddy Grace's House ofPrayer, of Prophet Jones and hisDominion of God, Incorporated.When Prophet Jones went to seeFather Divine he is said to haveworn an eight-hundred andtwelve diamond bracelet and afifty-one karat topaz, (op cit p117).'. Father Divine, however, is amuch different story. GeorgeBaker, otherwise known as MajorJ. Devine, or Father Divine, is

d i sm is se d by m a ny a s acharlatan because he was treatedas God by his followers. He is asound representative of the cultbehind the black cult, that forcewhich works to provide blackswith dignity, integrity, freedom,and power to 'become new winein new wineskins." There aremany flaws in the Divine PeaceMission of Father Divine and in

* tM1 founder Wnwelf!*'*'* f&fr^

When Major Devine moved toSayville, New Jersey, in 1919, hedeveloped a system of providingsome relief for his persecutedand oppressed.!bre hen, mostlyblack but also white, who werethe victims of the system* He fedthem, found jobs for them, pro-vided them with inexpensive andworthy housing, and gave mean-ing to their lives. As Joseph

Washington points out: "He setblacks up in small businesses.Food made available at the priceof fifteen cen ts a meal and sh elterat a nominal price. Blacks andwhites worshiped together, andslept together though separatedby sex. He conquered race pre-judice and d iscrimination among

his followers. He emphasizedmoral strength."

For Father Divine, as for theblack theologian James Cone,anyone who is in need, anyonewho is oppressed is black.Blackness is not a color, it is acondition of deprivation. It sym-bolizes a situation in which it isimpossible to live a good humanlife. The "cult behind the cult"seeks to change that situation, tobring sufficient power to all thosewho are black so that they candevelop an identity and a dignity

which will eliminate the causes ofdeprivation and oppression andbring justice and all facets of thehuman into their lives.

Black cults and sects are stillwith us because discriminationand ghettoization of blacks is stillvery much part of the Americanscene. The fire seems to havegone out of The Divine PeaceMission since the death of Fath erDivine, although that missionstill exists. The significance ofthe "cult behind the cult" whichFather Divine promoted is stillneeded in all forms of religion,b la c k a nd whi te , i f de -ghettoization is ever to beovercome.

Two final considerations im-pose themselves on anyone con-templating the significance of the"cult behind the cult". They are,

first, the realization that religionalone can generate such concernas is manifested in the cultbehind the cult. Secondly, there isthe realization that if we do notmake considerably more pro-gress in de-ghettoization than weare currently making, our situa-tion will become chronic and mayworsen so as to become • someform of planned genocide. It isironic but ̂ truef I think. tfcet«wehave much to learn from GeorgeBaker, Major Devine, FatherDivine, whom we may once haveregarded as a misguided clown, fjabout what we should do to in- yvigorate and orient pur religious /life. ?

In a society where the "All-American" is the visually attr ac-tive, physically fit individual,where charisma and articulationare more appealing than intellec-tual ability, artistic talent andeloquence, where the length ofthe resum e defines the qu ality ofthe individual's capacities, thecontemporary American studentis set to a strange and difficulttask.

For those people who intendcollege to be not only a period ofrich, exciting study but also atime of grooming and prepara-tion to enter society in any

capacity, the American culturehas established a set of criteriaequal to the Greek's Apollonianview of art. Perfection, in thesense of what is asked today, isfor the student to be bright butnot too bright, specialized ou t not*too specialized, amiable and ac-commodating - but 'not too so.This becomes frustrating whenone is taught, in a philosophy orcomputer class, * the A technical,logical, intellectual processeswhich are supposedly applicableto problem solving that is en-countered, in real life, but th e cryof the public is not to be "too in-tellectual," so that one can speakand be understood. £ $ P

Dr. Joseph Pizzat, professor ofart and ten-year faculty memberat Mercyhurst, has recently beennamed "Art Educator of theYear" by the Pennsylvania ArtEducation Association. ^

Admitting he was "surprised"by the honor bestowed upon him,

Pizzat stated, "Art educatorsdon't give that kind of prize readi-3y. We do our job, we have our

-^commitments, but we don't ex-5 pect added recognition." ?r ^jj Procedure for being voted onea of the eight art educators chosenA by the state-association begins ̂with a nomination from an out-

« side party to the selecting com-Sm fttee. Only those educators whoa are members of the association£ are eligible. i *£|£ %gL The comm ittee then sends a let-• ter explaining the program and^; its criteria, and the original!§ nominator must reply as to how

the candidate qualifies. i g j |>t Out of 34 nominees, 25 accepted

their nominations. Only eightmembers were chosen for the ti-tle and one educator, Dr. Ha IanHoffa of Pennsylvania SlateUniversity, was selected for na-tional recognition.

touch base with other profes-sional people in his field in thestate. Like his collegues, Pizzatconsiders the study of art "more*vi t a l t han ever " in th i stechnologically advancing socie-ty. "The more technology we

get," he stated, "th e less humanwe become; one thing said for thearts - we have to be human."

Although still an active artist,Pizzat thinks of himself primari-ly as a teacher. "I get my mostj o y f ro m t ea ch i n g , " he

proclaims. . -P'zzat has in his possession adocument which he calls "aphilosophy of why I teach." Com-menting on its importance, Piz-zat said, "It forced me to put itdown inblack and white, to take astand on my position, and that'swhat you do in art ." »;f g

A family man, father of twochildren, Pizzat has remained ac-tive in h is field. Besides his pro-fessional credits in education, hehas researched art programs forAmerican higher education, ear-ly childhood education jmajorsand creative arts therapy. His ar-ticles have been published in suchperiodicals as School Arts, To-day's A rt, and Art Education, a

Time Bandits is about a smallboy from London who is unwill-ingly and unexpectedly takenaway from his suburban home bya group of midgets that appeared

L a n z i l l o fmmp.ition for them. And there was avery high vote turnout for themtoo, which w as also n ice.

V? What I want to do right now,and I'll be talking about this atthe next government meeting, ishave a commuter forum th at willbe especially geared toward theproblems pf commuters who willbe able to come. You know wehave all these services, we wantto know if they are really servingthem; whether there's another

kind of service that we can im-pose just for- the commuters.Whether there-are certain issuesthat affects commuters thatthey'd like to deal with. And I'llconduct that along with Tim. Iwant him to do it also. I reallywant to establish him as the linkbetween the student governmentand the commuters and I thinkhe'll do a good job with it once hegets going. & * Sg gg£

And Theresa Leighton, the resi-dent rep , will be excellent I'msure. She's*outgoing and shewants to work, which issomething we really like to see.^

Rhonda B yerly, the rep for in-terior design - although I don'tknow Rhonda very well • she wasat our last government meetingand she seems ready to work soI'm really hopeful for all of them.

I think they'll all do very well/gjQ. You've said that the qualityof ..the? student governmentmeetings has greatly improvedsince last year. Why? 3A. I mink the office is runningbetter I think that for the studentgovernment to really functionwell, the bulk of the interactionhas got to 'come from therepresentatives. I mean there areonly foofuof us and we only haveso much time to give. In the pastwe've had a whole core of officersand a whole core of represen-tatives that have been overlook-ed. You know their energy, their

skills and so on have beenoverlooked. And it's been mostlya game run by the officers andthat's just not the way it's suppos-ed to be . So this year what we'redoing is switching the center ofinteraction and power to therepresentatives. >

The officers - not to takeanything away from the officersthough -1 think that we're work-ing harder than any of the of-ficers ever before. And I thinkthat shows in the meetings. Butwe have the reps actively par-ticipating in every area of thegovernment. We've got a wholenew set of committees th at givesthe power directly to the reps.We've got a whole new set of pro-grams that we've turned over tothe reps that they 're doing a finejob with and it's really showing,it's coming out at the meetings,the meetings aren't boring, theyare not getting dragged out,they're to the point, And that'sbasically because of the improve-ment in the representatives andtheir role in the government, w ^

Also, we're a lot more uniformthan last year. We're a lot moreprocedure-oriented.A lot of peo-ple don't like parliamentary pro-cedure and I don't use it to its ex-treme but you need a certaindegree of . . . .what's the wordI'm looking for?'

8 Q.Formality?J*. A. Yeah, exactly, formality, toge t som e thing done . Themeetings in the past, they weremostly a giant rap session thatdidn't accomplish anything. Thereason we use parliamentaryprocedure is it keeps us to thepoints and it causes us to solveproblems rather than just throwthem around. We isolate what weVawfyo*talk ab©crtW:he* probleminvolved, and then we worktoward solving it. I think one ofthe other problems of the govern-ment in the#past - the reasonwe're more successful than most

38th And Pine

"FredrickiMartin Band"9:30-1:30

Friday and Saturday

is that at our meetings, we'revery goal-oriented. The officersand the reps know what we'retrying to accomplish. Generally,we're trying to create the bestgovernment that Mercyhurstever had That suffices in itself.

Q. How do you view the con-stitution controversy created bythe Organizational ResourceManagement majors asking forfunds for their New York Citytrip?A. O.K., that's a tough subject.That's the one thing we did getgood press on. There was a con-troversy but it wasn't the pro-blem everyone thought it wassimply because a constitutionalviolation never really took place.During the meeting, in fact, assoon as the vote was taken Irecognized the possibility therecould be a problem somewhere;it just seemed th at giving moneyto a group that's that closelyassociated with a major could bea problem.

We had consulted the constitu-tion beforehand but we were kindof the victims of our own constitu-tion. The clause that governsover these kinds of issues was inthe wrong place. It was under"Club Support". It was und er anarea deahng with clubs and beingthat the ORM majors wern't aclub we didn't look under that, we

looked under certain other ar eas,we couldn't find anything dealingwith it. After the meeting I wentback and went through the wholeconstitution and when I found theproblem, I immediately told theeditor of the student newspaperthat there was a possible pro-blem. I told the reps that I saw itand the officers called a specialmeeting of the government to ad-dress the matter. At that meetingthat is , the ORM majorswithdrew their request whichwas very gracious of them at

least since they recognized theproblem and saved us a lot oftrouble. Had they not, though, itwould have been declared un-constitutional. There were a fewinaccuracies associated.

So, overall I view the constitu-tional controversy as somethingthat w as slightly blown out of pro-portion that would have beenheaded off before it became areal problem. In no way do I thinkthat it negates from the excellentperformance of the StudentGovernment so far this year. Imean it was just a little quirk inthe works that we could havesolved. ~ '•'.**'

Q. What are your goals for stu-dent government this year?

A. As I said overall I want it tobe the best student governmentthat's ever been here. But of

course, every student gment president is going tothat. That's kind of generaof all, I want to keep its viWe have a new visibilitynever had before, more see us, are awa re of us, arus, as an avenue for cresolution.

More people are using ovices, more people have atthe meetings. It's incredibyear at the meetings. Befhad a tough time getting hour representatives there,

past years. This year otendence has been almost dred percent per meetinplus at some meetings we'up to 90 people at a meetito come participate inissues.

I'd like to see us go aftemore concrete issues. Peous for issues dealing with them a lounge and so on. to get us more into direct palthough the Senate dealthese issues, the student gment can give a purely spoint-of- view which needrepresented. That's whatthere for to give the studeof view. I'd like to see us gmore of that area.

81/82 SeasonThe Mercyhurst Laker Basket-

ball team played its first homegame last evening againstAlliance College. It was the firsttime the Laker fans had a chanceto see their team in action. It wasalso the first time for Mercyhurstcommunity to see the talents ofthe team 's new head coach: BillKalbaugh.

Coach Kalbaugh, a native ofTroy, New York, was chosen thisspring to head the Laker hoopteam, with the hopes of turningaround a somewhat disappoin-t ing 80-81 sea son . CoachKalbaugh is not used to beingdisappointed. After graduationfrom High School, Bill was facedwit the decision of choosing a col-lege. This was no easy choicesince he had numerous scholar-ship offers. He carefully chose St.Bonaventure, and has neverregretted the decision. Whilethere, Kalbaugh played pointguard and averaged nine po intsper game. His playing abilityhelped the Bonaventure teamreach the NCAA Final Four.

After graduation he coached atthe University of Connecticut and

•at La Salle High School. It was at

this point that coach Kalbaughclaimed he. needed a change.Thai change came in the returnto his Alma Mater Sw Bonaven-ture where he served as,an assis-tant for eight years!. That was ofcourse .until he was given the nodto captain the Laker s,quad. a
