A Part ic ipat ive PlusTaking a democratic

grassroots approach f towardresponding to student needs, theMercyhurst Student Governmentwill be taking their act*to thestudents as they conduct a surveyon student response to theproposed 4-3-3 calendar change.

The survey marks a refreshingchange to normal MSG procedurewhich in the past depended uponsporadic representation and a"come-to-us" approach I indealing with students not in-volved in the student^ govern-ment. By going to the studentsinstead of waiting for them. tomake | the first move, thegovernment is taking positivesteps j? toward restoring

collegiality in the student body.The true test the MSG faces, or

will face, is whether or not theywill continue mis practice once

the survey has been completed.'In the recent past documented'student feedback has been calledupon in only three instances - the1979 student government elec-tion, the presidential evaluation,and the student petitions to thepresidential selection, andprogram review. J J

Presidential selections andprogram reviews a re not annual;college faculty and ad-ministrators are gratefullyaware of this. Th erefore, the onlyrecorded soliciting of feedback isusually the student governmentelectio ns.. During the week ofcampaigning candidates forvarious offices, the fulfilling ofstudent needs is a major issue.

This week the student govern-ment will be making a strongattempt to at least identify themwith their survey on intersession.

Responsibility Abandonedr Mark Maddamma, editor of the: Edinboro State t;College| newspaper, The Spectator, said it

was the hardest decision that heever had to make. W ^ S * *

What he was referring to wasfcthe printing of a one-page special! edition of the newspaper in which: it was alleged that three varsity• basketball players? wereI ineligible suggesting a possible' cover-up. T ;5? ifc. An investigation ofL these

j ,P.*]f!g3*jos£ -by tbe, rifofrw i s" officials - followed " shortlythereafter, and these officialscould not find any violations. Thebasketball team received a cleanbill of health and when the smokecleared, The Spectator founditself guilty of the cardinal sin ofjournalism.^ ..- iF.~r ^ '

They misrepresented the facts.Given data by an unidentified

source, they did not approach thedean, the athletic director, northe president. Whether they weredistrusting of those parties is notan issue. The fact of the matter is

that they did not check out theirfacts, f

In 1947, the Commission onFreedom of the Press was quotedas saying, "The: press can beinflammatory, sensational andirresponsible." In arcase such asthis it can be effectively arguedthat the Edinboro press was allthree. . :'.i. .^'tsts ;~: •

While a campus newspaper canbe a truly effective voice of thestudent body, it can also bea very

destructive one if not handledresponsibly. A complete andthorough representation of thefacts is the most importantresponsibility of any newspaper,whether it be the Boston Globe orThe M ercaid.

For those who might be con-sidering ^applying for theeditorship of this paper nextyear, the Edinboro incident maybe a useful item to file away intheir list of newspaper do's anddon't's. It was a mistake thatneed not be repeated. i

(Still) Looking For Mr. GoodpenAs can be seen on page three,

The Merciad is accepting ap-plications^ for the position of

editor for the 1980-81 academicyear. After three weeks of ad-vertising the availability of theposition, however, no one hasapplied.

It should be noted and em-phasized that one need not be acommunications or journalismmajor to apply for the position.Case in point is the fact that thecurrent staff is "headed by aBusiness Management major andan English major. While ex-perien ce "with journa lism isbeneficial, it is not essential. Itcan be taught. *

It also should be noted that forthose students who hope toacquire some .useful career

traits, The Merciad is an idealplace. One quickly learnsresponsibility, leadership andcommunication skills, as well asan ability to meet deadlines.Potential employers recognizethis as do graduate schools.

In no way are we pleading thatsomeone apply for the position ofeditor. Individual requirementshave been increased, so ifanything, the paper has becomemore elitist. What we want arequality people who are willing tocommit themselves to makingThe Merciad an ex cellent paper.

Letter

Parent Supports 'The Merciad', Garvey

Dear Editor: L*I want to take this opportunity

to commend you and your stafffor producing what I, as a parentof a Mercyhurst student, feels is afine campus organ. I particularlylike your aggressive spirit indealing with campus issues andfeel certain that students andfaculty share my compliments.

I think you did an excellent jobin dealing with the selection of anew president at Mercyhurst.The coverage of the story and thebackgrounds of the candidatesput your readers in touch withsome very --important tissuesrevolving around who would leadthe fHurst into the '80s.

Indeed, the coverage was a big.plus for The Merciad because itwas a no-nonsense approach toimportant issues for the studentsand faculty.»Your information

was not public relations puffpieces which many campuspublications have a tendency to

lean toward. It's important thatsuch issues as the election of acollege president be a serious andforthright undertak ing, by thecampus (and other) media.

The Merciad handled th e storywell. I was interested for obviousreasons, as I'm; sure otherparents of children at the 'Hurstwere interested, in the selectionof a new president.

While reading the strong andweak points of each of the can-didates I got the feeling that theboard made a wise choice inmaking Dr. Garvey president ofMercyhurst. I don't know Dr.Garvey, but as I read TheMerciad's review of hiscredentials there was one pointthat made him a standout. Hewas quoted as saying something

to the effect that the job ofschools of higher learning is tomake students think. That

philosophy is extraordinary, Ithink, in a day filled withe d u c a t i o n a l t r i v i a .Dr. Garvey is certain to producefine results as president of the'Hurst, for his promise to makehis students think is somewhat ofa unique proposal.

I was also happy to see that theboard at Mercyhurst did notselect a president whose majorachievement was raising funds, amajor boast of some of the othercandidates. Of course, that'simportant, but it is not the keyelement in providing a solideducation. I'll take my chanceswith people like Dr. Garvev.

REVERBERATIONS By Philips

Intersession: A ChallengeOffered the Adult Mind. &*

This title appeared in a Mer-ciad article in November of 1967.The article went on to explain the"avant garde" experiment thatMercyhurst was embarking onwith the -institu tion of in-tersession and the 3-1-3-3calendar.

Mercyhurst students wereencouraged to participate in a 25-day in depth study of specificareas of interest. Freshmen andseniors pursued a topic within theliberal studies curriculum whilesophomores and juniors studied

in their major field of con-centration. | i .4 ';A total of 42 courses were of-

fered in that first intersessionwith topics ranging from a studyof contemporary Americanhomes to a practical experiencecourse dealing with brain-washing techniques called "TheRape of the Mind." % fj

The classes included manyunique experiences such as fieldtrips t to New York 5 City, at-tendance at concerts and studen-ts assistant work in laboratoriesand local industries. 3

Sounds * pretty interesting,doesn't it?

The next question that logicallyfollows is, "What happened? Whyhas intersession mutated into (inmany cases) 10-week classes in

condensed three-week sessions ?"Why are faculty members nolonger encouraged to come upwith course offerings that willstim ulate student involvementand interest?- Personally, I have spent'thelast two intercessions trying toget som e extra Christmas moneytogether because there wasn'treally anything that caught myimagination. Many students havedone likewise "in the last fewyears.

At the next Academic PoliciesCommittee meeting, Dr. Millarwill propose a calendar changethat will eliminate intersessionand put the college, on a 4-3-3cal en da r" wffli"* ra- |r*—»-~

lengthened to 12 weeks. Dr.Millar, feels that with the sim-ple mentation of the "GeneralEducation" requirement in 1980,intersession will no longer meetthe needs of first term students.£ Unfortunately, I perceive the" G e n e r a l E d u c a t i o n "requirements, the elimination ofintersession and the change to the4-3-3 calendar as a move direc-ting Mercyhurst down the path ofbecoming Erie CommunityCollege.

Dr. Millar's proposals are notaddressing themselves to theheart of the problem. Mercyhurst

should not compromise its goalsand ideals simply because of the

direction the school has taken inthe past few years. At one time,Mercyhurst was faithfullycommitted to the pursuit of ex-cellence. £ F

I would suggest to Dr. Millarthat instead of \ compromisingMercyhurst, eliminating thethings that make us unique andeliminating an original conceptbecause it has wandered off thepath of what it was intended tobe, he should commit the schoolto putting its energies and talents(which are considerable) to aregeneration of the spirit ofMercyhurst and a recommitment

to outstanding achievement andexcellence. *%

Dear Editor,

I don't know how the rest of youpeople in the college communityfeel, but I'm infuriated with whatI feel is the blasphemizing of areligion. y

What I'm referring to is the13th Winter Olympiad held inLake Placid, New York. Thisevent, which symbolizes thecoming together of nations infriendly competition, introducedme to an event which I founddisgusting to my senses.

Controversy Sparked At Pitt, JHM^reaBBS^:^ v%^^£:. ^ § ^

Is Overnight Dorm Visitation Safe?Display On| Black

«After a review of campussecurity precautions in the wakeof a brutal murder in a dormlaundry room last year, theUniversity I of Pittsburgh hasofficially reinstated dormvisiting hours regulations. Underthe new rules, most overnightvisitations will be prohibited.

Pitt had abandoned hours

regulations nearly a decade ago,but a January, 1979 murder of aPitt coed "clearly piqued ourconcern for safety," said MaryAnn Aug, director of Pitt's newsdepartment. * i 3,* When Pitt*, adm inist rato rsannounced in early Februarythat they proposed to prohibitnon-resident visitation after 2:00a.m., some students protested theuniversity was attempting toexercise too much control overstudents' personal lives. Studentswent so far as to hire their ownlawyer to represent them duringsubsequent admin is t ra t iondiscussions about the proposal.

At Mercyhurst the.' visitationhours are from 1:00 p.m. to 1:00a.m. on weekdays and from 1:00

p.m. to 2:00 a.m. on weekends.

s Aug says that students havegreeted th e

:final regulations,

adopted February 12, and due tobecome ^operational springquarter, much more calmly. I

The regulations d allow over-night visitations on weekends,after the visitor registers withdorm advisers. Relatives cansleep over during theweek, when

all other non-residents visitorsmust leave by the 2:00 a.m.curfew. Even during weekends,residents must get roommatesapproval before entertainingovernight guests. ' "We justwanted to give • over-visitedroommates an opportunity tosay n o." Aug explained/ B

The university wants to makeno moral judgments," she adds."But we do need a program thatallows us to sweep the dorms, andallows the students to know thatwhoever is there belongs there."

Dorm security became a hotcampus issue after the 1979murder. Aug reports that studentconcern intensified after At wasdiscovered f*that the 'murderersuspect, implicated in at leastfour other Pennsylvania mur-ders, had been a dorm resident's

College Presidency : |A!Job Nobody Wants

Lot Angeles, CA (CPS)— WhenUniversity of Southern CaliforniaPresi den t John.* R. Hubbardannounced in November, 1978 hisintention to resign, a number ofpeople associated ?with USCfrankly saw it as an opportunity.The announcement capped a yearof internal and sometimes em-

barrassingly-public turmoil ofproposed Aran funding for USC'sCenter of Middle EasternStudies. Changing presidents, itseemed, would be a chance, towipe the publicity slate clean andpurge USC's t academicreputation of all hints of|com-promise. jjf g

Now, a little more than a yearlater, that dream of redemptionhas turned -into another ad-ministrative and publicitynightmare.

For USC, after Aformallyreviewing hundreds of names andcandidate, can't: find anyonewilling to take the job of leadingit.

Though it courts the spotlightand has consequently created themost widely-known failure to filla vacancy in higher education,USC's )frustrations are -hardlyunique. Filling the top job at alluniversities has become ex-tremely difficult The Universityof. Houston had * to look eightmonths for a new chancellor. Ittook the University of Coloradosix months to find its newpresident. Observers nowestimate six' months is theminimum needed*to find anappropriate willing candidateand to navigate the candidacythrough internal political wate rs.

"The days of people beggingfor a chance for the prestige ofleading a university £ are longgone,"a search,"j committee

member told the University ofHouston Cougar. "We had con-didates laugh and say, "Whatwould I need that headache for? "

Dr. Joseph Kauffman of theUniv. of Wisconsin's Dept. ofEducational Administration saysthe job's so hard that there's a 14-15 percent turnovers among

college presidents every year."The environment is so volatileand so difficult Jthat j(chiefexecutives),. simply expendthemselves in a couple of years,"explains Kauffman, whose bookabout college leadership, At ThePleasure of the Board, will bereleased this spring. "Today'sproblems f of decreasingresources means there are someawfully tough decisions to bemade on what's to be reduced oreliminated." They are notpleasant decisions to make,moreover. 5 §

Thus it's no mystery toKauffman why it's getting harderto fill chief executive vacancies."Convincing someone j who isalready highly successful inanother field to take what couldbe a temporary job is difficult"

South em «Ca 1 ifornia foundT itimpossible. f 2», %'f After screening 200names, thesearch committee charged withrecommending a candidate to theBoard of Trustees whittled thelist to three names:J ThorntonBradshaw, president of AtlanticRichfield, David Gardiner,president of the University * ofUtah, and National ScienceFoundation President J RichardAtkinson. g j

The selection process had beensecret until then. But Board ofTrustees Chairmanj, J. RobertFluor insisted on a "represen-tative" search that included a

Those two-day campus visits,however, were to be crammedwith meeting with a total of 60student, staff, faculty and lad-ministration representatives, aschedule suggesting any furthersecrecy would be shortlived.

Atkinson came to campus next,but at the same time the LosAngeles-Times ran a two-partseries on the behind-the-scenespresidential politicking.

The seri es portrayed Bradshawas the hardheaded choice, atough manager who could guidethe university through the

financially-troubled j eighties.Atkinson, :according to thenewspaper, was seen by facultymembers of the search com-mittee as a man who would stressacademics.

had decided be didn't want, thejob. In early December, hedropped out of the race, citing"personal reasons." W

In mid-December,." the boardmet to announce its appointment.Instead, it formally eliminatedAtkinson from consideration, re-opened the search, and ponderedputting the newly-controversialKaprielian on a year's leave of

absence. "#} »%Suddenly; Utah's Gardiner hadbecome the favorite compromisecandidate among search com-mittee members. According tosources close to the committee,his visit, to the USC campus inearly January was a formality.The committee had alreadydecided to hire him. Not least ofits reasons, according to thesource close to the committee,was that Jit didn't want theuniversity to face the publichumiliation of losing all three ofits final presidential candidates.

So the committee offeredGardiner a car, a home, and asix-figure salary that, in thewords of a former grad schooldean at Utah, "no one could turndown." §

But Gardiner could and finally

did during the j) last week ofJanuary. He announced he wouldstay on at Utah. \

In the stunned aftermath,USC's search committee hasimposed a stricter code of silenceon its members, who arereportedly now combing the listof candida tes they had previouslyrejected.

USC's problem, according toKauffman (who stresses hehasn't been privy to its internalworkings), doesn't have much todo with USC itself. V £ W§&

He say s the real* problem isthat, over the decades, highereducation has come to be viewed"as an industry that can be tooledup when you need production andtooled down when you don't needp r o d u c t i o n . " ^ , . S R S ;

In the process, the emphasishas switched \ from notions ofservice and the advancement ofknowledge to p "complying withgovernment requests for in-formation for contract research,and publicizing the economic jobpayoffs of certain fields ofstudy." *j _ t * j g

Those views have lead searchcommittees into new fields forcandidates, competing "formanagement with the top  cor-porations" even ^ thougheducation problems are differentfrom corporate problems. * M

Consequently, high salarieshave become standard lures topotential candidates. Yet money,Kauffman contends, is no longerenough to attract J most * can-didates. Moreover, "money,while iUdoesn't do any harm,

doesn't automatically result ingood leadership." g

Colleges, he says, will neversolve their chief executive per-sonnel problems until I "w erestore the concept of service andlearning and advancement of:study that was the originalmotivating Scorer of highereducation."

FEBRUARY 29, 1980 THE M ERCIAD PAGE 7

§ P © Rfl ySporty is a mythical freshmanwriting home in the Spring of1980. 4 *Dear Mom and Dad: 2

Well any day now we shouldhave the ground breaking for thenew 'Old Main' and the new 'ZurnHall' I must say that the Erie'community, and for that matter

the nation, really responded toour calamity back in February.To this day, though, I question ifevents had to go the way they did.

As I recall, it was Januarywhen the school got all thethermosats fixed and started itspolicy/ requiring an ambienttemperature of 65 degrees. Sinceyou never went to a high classcollege like Mercyhurst, Momand Dad, I'll explain that anambient temperature of 65 meansthat the average temperature inan entire room should be 65. Wellhere at Mercyhurst our heatingsystem is so old it was createdbefore the discovery of fire. So,some large rooms with an am-bient temperature of 65 mightalso have small sections wherethe temperature hit 55 and otherswhere it was 70. In some class

rooms half the class wasdisrobing and giving their clothesto others who were entering earlyhypothermia 1£

Needless to say, but I'll do soanyway, the Mercyhurst com-munity fought back. Students inrooms put ice cubes on ther-mostats, others tore the in-struments off the wall. But thegreat calamity of February 29came about because of thefaculty. 7? .

Our faculty will protest at thedrop of a white paper. As theyfroze out they decided it was anadministrative plot to get them towork harder to stay warm. Sothey struck back. On February28, they bought up every spaceheater in town, on the 29th theystaged faculty heat-in day. They

Three days after this 11thvictory of the year, Mercyhurstreturned to Pittsburgh to com-plete its* 29 game schedule,against powerful Point Park.

Opposing 6'3"Sonny Lewis,6'6'T Melvin Paul,, and 8*7'*Websler y Means in their lastappearances ^in Point Parkuniforms, and remembering theCampus Center struggle onJanuary 13 (the ^Lakers losing101-73), {Mercyhurst faced anawesome task. £

Spreading to£a four corneroffense early in the game (atactic that enabled the 'Hurst tobeat Point Park 55-52 last year),the Lakers made sure that theiropponents did not get off to a goodstart. In fact, a low scoring firsthalf kept the sco re at 27-18 to thePioneers. * 3

About 100 supporters, in acrowd of nearly 1,000, urged Blueand Green seniors, Bennard andMcElrath, toward a 12 point highmark. Link's 12 points and

Borowlcz's 10 helped bringMercyhurst to within nine points(75-68) of Jerry Conboy's Greenand Gold with only one minute ofplay remaining. But Al Lewis andMel Paul scored four more pointsfor the Pioneers, to secure the 79-66 scoreline and end Point Park'sregular season at an impressive23-4 total. i£ &

Paul was the Pioneers' highscorer with 18 points and Meanshad 16. Paul also grabbed 15rebounds. Link snared ten looseballs down from th e boards forthe 'Hurst, -jp 1 K

"It's been a frustratingseason," remarked team' cap-tain, Ji m McElrath after thegame.* "Sometimes I feelresponsible for it being a losingone. Perhaps there w as more Icould have done. * >

"As a team we were probablyat our best in the second half ofthe LaRoche game. We stayedwith five or six men and got somecontinuity in the play," the 8'5"Jamestown, N.Y., senior con-tinued. 1V "At times this season we haveused wholesale substitution. Next

year the Lakers will have to startfrom scratch,Jand I hope thatthe J learning experience th eyounger players have gained this

year can be put to good use,"concluded the lanky forward.O'Connor has a lot of recruiting

work behind him and even morein front of him. He has looked atyoungsters Ifrom th e Chicago,Florida, Maryland and New YorkCity areas, but does not yet haveany commitment from theplayers he is in contact with. K

"It's too early for any of theyoungsters to make a com-mitment to Mercyhurst, but withthe caliber of young men at whichI am looking, if I can get just twoofn them, I will be very hap-py, "remarked the Laker mentor.Laker not es : 3 i jj

Mercyhurst women's basketballteam kept their winning streakalive as the!Lakers defeatedWestminster and Allegheny forKeystone Conference victories.

Trie first contest almost nevercame to be as the Titans ofWestmister waited for the Lakersto arrive, and the Lakers waitedfor Westminster to arrive at theCampus Center. It turned out thatboth teams scheduled th e contestas a home game. Trekking downto New Wilmington, th e Lakerswere ready to play. $

Starting out of the blocksquickly, Mercyhurst used a solidblend of offense and defense tostake themselves a 33-17 lead athalf time. T he second half provedt o , be a different ballgame,however, as the Titans outscoredthe Lakers by a 37-24 count in thesecond 20 minutes. It turned outto be too little too late as the Blueand Green held on for a 57-54conference victory. "
