Due To Severe D amages

Multi Purpose FieldTo Undergo Repairs

/

> " * •

By Fran MoaveroMERCIAD News Editor

The multi-purpose field whichis used for football, soccer and in-tramurals, will be undergoingreconstruction due to the damageswhich resulted from studentsutilizing the field too early in theyear. "The fieldv will not beavailable for recreational* ac -tivities for six months , accordingto E. William Kennedy, directorof student services. }

Students participating in a foot-ball game on Sunday, February 27destroyed the?roots of the grasswhich was planted in November,explained Kennedy.

Bi l l Ducz, d irector o fmaintenance, said DalkemperLandscaping estimated repair costat $1,200. This fee includes th eseed, fertilizer and rental equip-ment, commented Ducz. ^

Manual labor expenses wouldbe to o costly if the college con-tracted the landscaping firm tocomplete the job. DalkemperLandscaping has advised Duczconcerning the procedure forrepairing the field.

Another alternative would be to

replace the field with new sod, butaccording to Dave Cherico, direc-tor of intramurals, the cost wouldbe phenomenal. Planting new sodwould still restrict students fromutilizing the field for two months,which also limits the use of thefield during spring term, headded.

Re-seeding the field and closingit down through the summer mon-ths cuts down on expenses, statedCherico.

Reconstruction is expected tobegin as soon as the weather per-mits, said Ducz.

Prior to the incident, the fieldwas being readied for spring in -tramurals, said Cherico. The in-

AtMSG

tramural softball program will notbe eliminated due to this situa-tion, he stated. "There definitelywill be intramurals. Softball is abig sport o n campus," com-mented Cherico.

Intramural softball games willbe played on the outfield o f thebaseball diamond, said Cherico.However, they will be scheduledaround th e games o f the varsitybaseball team.

During reconstruction o f ] themulti-purpose field, a specificplace may be designated fo rcasual recreational use, statedKennedy. Possibly in front o f theLearning Resource Center, headded.

This incident'may, have beenprevented if communication tothe' Mercy hurst community ha dbeen more effective. According toCherico, signs were posted aroundthe field during fall term pro-hibiting students from using th efield. .; r

At the time damage occurred,there were n o signs restrictinganyone from utilizing th e field.Apparently they were torn down,said Kennedy.

In th e upcoming .fall term, anew procedure will be im-plemented to gain more controlover, the use of the field, saidCherico. •£

Students will have to obtain afield permit t o use the field j forrecreational purposes. This pro-cedure enables the Held to be con-trolled while being utilized byMercyhurst students.

This procedure also preventsoutsiders who live near the collegefrom using the field, said Cherico.If a security guard approachesstudents on the field and they d onot have a field permit, they wilbe dismissed from th e premises,he added.

St. Mark's Seminary

TheCollege GrowsSt. Mark's Seminary LeasedFor HRM, Music UseBy Karen Merkle

MERCIAD Staff Reporter |An agreement between Mer-

cyhurst College and the CatholicDiocese of Erie has resulted in theacquis i t ion o f S t . Mark'sSeminary as an extension buildingof the Mercyhurst campus.

The college will lease two floorsof the St. Mark's facility on EastGrand view Blvd. to Chouse th eD'Angelo School o f Music an dthe Hote l a n d RestaurantManagement department.

According to Mercyhurst Presi-dent Dr. William P. Garvey, therewill also be some adult educationand special interest classes held atthe new location.

But, he added, "The majority

of the students will not be affectedby the move."The five-year lease, which was

finalized late last week, gives thecollege control of the groundfloor and the first floor of thebuilding, totaling 50,000 squarefeet o f space. >\

Garvey would not reveal any ofthe financial details of the lease.

The move, which is scheduledto take place late this summer,was approved by the faculties o fthe departments involv ed] whenthe project was still in the plann-ing stages. -J

"The faculties of those tw oprograms were strongly suppor-tive," Garvey said, mainly

because of the space that isavailable in the new building.

The H R M department willmake use of an excellent kitchenfacility and a large dining hall,capable o f seating 250 people.

Director of the School of MusicDr. Louis Mennini said, "Thefaculty and students (in the musicdepartment) are most happy withthe move to St. Mark's."

Garvey reported that there willbe some allocation o f the spacevacated by those departments hereon campus, but any plans won'tbe definite until May.

The project originated last fall,when a site selection committeewas formed to look. into th epossibility o f expanding the space

available to the Mercyhurstcommunity.Space ha s been an increasing

problem, as the campus built for1,000 students now houses over1,500.- p • i"\

The committee looked at theKanty Prep building, but afterdeciding that the former schoolwas too far from campus, theydecided to build an addition ontoZurn Hall.

When S t. Mark's becomeavailable early this year, the com-mittee and instructors from bothdepartments decided that thebuilding would be adequate forMercyhurst's needs.

An offer was then submitted to

the diocese, who accepted the proposal this month.

i One of the features of the program will be the limited involvement o f t h e S t . Mark'sSeminarians in the Mercyhurscommunity.

Garvey said the Seminarianwill receive student I.D.'s so theycan participate in campus ac-tivities that are "conducive to theseminary experience," such as access to the library and gymnasium, and admission to movieslectures, and other campus events

St. Mark's is currentlyacademically affiliated with Gannon University, andr Garvey explained that there are no plans forthis < arrangement % to cha

because of the 'Hurst's involvement with the Seminary.Garvey also denied rumors tha

the St . Mark's project is aresponse to the possibility of anHRM program beginning aGannon.

He stressed that the Gannonstory is "only a rumor," and that

MSG CANDIDA TELETTERS INS WE



MSG Election...

Take The Voting AdvantageMercyhurst; Student Government elections will be taking

place next Wednesday, March 30 and Thursday, March 31.For the first time in over four years the 1983-84 student

government officer core will be all new students holding each

office.Under this condition, it is critical that 'Hurst students are

aware of the candidates for office, as well as their platforms.Richard L anzillo, current president of MSG stated in an inter-view once that, 'There shouldn't be any problems in studentgovernment next year. In fact, at this point some new bloodmay be good." This statement is so true, as change is in-evitable. If students complain about the candidates for office,they can only blame themselves. Everyone had the freedom o fchoice to run in the election.

The five officer positions for the election are president, vicepresident, treasurer, secretary and Student Activities Com-mittee (SAC) chairperson. A total of 13 students are runningin the election next week. T he candidate's letters of intent ex-plaining their views and opinions are expressed in this week'sMERCIAD. , t r i£ i

The five students elected to office will represent the Mer-

cyhurst student body in many facets. Student government of-ficers and representatives in the past have made decisions con-cerning the yearly paid student activity fee, lengthening ofvisitation hours in dormitories, remodeling of the StudentUnion, to the decision of keeping the Mercyhurst Praeteritayearbook. The list of MSG responsibilities; decisions, andhard effort that has been put forth for Mercyhurst Collegeand the students is endless.

Voters and individuals should'be aware of the right tochoose and elect the candidates of your choice. The studentgovernment election "is not a popularity contest.-It is of ut-most importance to keep in mind leadership skills, motivationlevels, experience, talent and dedication when making officerselections.

An open forum and debate among candidates took placeon Wednesday, March 23 at 3:00 p.m. in 114 Zurn. Thisforum allowed Mercyhurst students, government represen-

tatives, faculty, and even administration if they wished, toask questions to the candidates who are seeking office. Theforum and debate allowed students to better understand thebeliefs, opinions and views of the contenders for office. Can-didates also gave campaign speeches on Wednesday, March23 and Thursday, March 24 at 5:00 p.m. in the cafeteria forthe benefit of students.

It is imperative that people vo te and select their candidatescarefully, for these officers who are elected will be makingdecisions that affect students and Mercyhurst College.

Recognize and take advantage of the voting opportunity.Make the decision as to the best officer core in MSG for1983*84 to work towards making improvements for you, thestudents at Mercyhurst C ollege. 1 ]

Late PaymentaSlap The Face J

Dear Editor, II'm not usually one to com-

plain, but what I experiencedwhile trying to pay my tuition billfor spring term was just not whatI expected.

First of all, I know that I'm notthe only one who feels like thisbecause I'm not the only personwho has been slapped with a $25late fee on payment of my springbill. It's ridiculous to get chargedfor giving money. When you handover $1,250 and then are informedthat you owe $25 more because

you're two days late with paymentseems as rude as a slap in the face.College is expensive enoughwithout these little fees.

Now let me explain, I unders-tand that a date has to be set forbills to be paid or they wouldnever get paid, but the businessoffice wouldn't even give anyonethe chance to explain.

I Some bills arrived laple's houses,: some stuchose to bring their chereturn for spring termtheless, the late chaenforced.

In my case, as many otion has been paid in fu

time for the last three ythe penalty received forjust didn't seem fair.

Tuition bills are a toject for everyone whether you're the onpayment or receiving ittry to be a little more cowe're all trying to work

The views expressed in all the* followingletters are the opinion of,the individualcandidates.

Bryan Doherty

To the Mercyhurst Community,My name is Bryan Doherty and

I am running for the office J ofMSG president.U am presently asophomore majoring in CriminalJustice and History. I ifeel that Iam qualified for the post on ofpresident due to mypast efforts instudent government as a represen-

tative. The most important ofthese being my Judicial I BoardProposal. I authored and lobbiedthrough student government thecreation of a student dominatedboard that would hear the appealsof alleged disciplinary violations.The most important feature ofthis board is providing fairness indiscipline proceedings through theidea of a "jury of one's peers."

Another^proposal that I spon-sored this year was the book lendproposal. I was jnot the firstrepresentative in student govern-ment to recognize the problem ofhigh book costs. However, Iwasone of the first to try $and dosomething about it. And, ifelected, I will try as many alter-nate solutions as possible to lowerthe Ibook cost burden for usstudents.

So much for the past and thepresent. During the 1983-84school year, student governmentwill be faced with some momen-tous issues that will affect th e col-lege as a whole. The most impor-tant of these, to the student, willbe the question of whether the col-lege will Iremain tri-semester orchange to t the two semestersystem. I believe that this issue istoo big for the student govern-ment to handle alone. After all,whatever student government

decides will be seen as the opinionof all the students. For this ques-tion I believe we should follow th eidea of direct representation. Stu-dent government should appoint acommittee that would expose thepros and the cons of both systemsand publish its findings for thestudents. Then, after the studentshad ̂ an opportunity to examinethe issue, student government

would!hold a .referendum wherestudents can choose the systemthey want. Finally,|based ion theoutcome of the referendum, I, aspresident, would strive to have thesystem chosen by the studentsadopted by the college, -t ?

Also, in the area of activities, Iintend to bring the first big namebandfto perform at the college.The choice of the band will bebased upon a student question-naire and the ability to draw theoutside community. Finally I feelthat an effective student govern-ment is essential to the whole Mer-cyhurst Community; If elected, Iwill try to make next year'sgovernment* the most effectiveever. it

Thank You.

David RobinsonTO the Mercyhurst Students,

My name is David Robinson,and 1 am requesting your supportin the upcoming MSG presidentialelection. I am sincere in my desireto commit myself to the faithfulexecution of this office, and Ibelieve that my record of activeinvolvement in the MercyhurstCommunity for the last two yearswell qualifies me for this position.

In the time I have been at Mer-

cyhurst I have been actively in-volved in many areas - studentgovernment, the Campus LifeComm., Campus Ministry, theFree Film Series, the Annual FoodI Drive, various clubs and organiza-tions, and many social activities.In all of these functions I havetried to play a constructive role inthe numerous organizational and

exceptional aspects.Specifically in my role

political science representative toMSG, I have served on theGovernment Relations Committeeand recently represented Mer-

cyhurst at the American StudentsAssociation Conference inWashington, D.C. At the conven-tion I began work to establishMercyhurst College as a leaderamong small private colleges. I in-tend to pursue this next year withthe goal of building a coalition ofarea colleges to fight against Con-gressional cuts in educational aid. |

In the Senate, I am currentlyStudent-at-Large on the CampusLife Committee. Since the com-mittee's scope extends over allareas of non-academic life, I haveestablished a broad understandingOf what needs to be done, andmore importantly, how to do it.At the same time I have at alltimes been primarily concernedwith student rights and inputregarding the decisions and ac-tions of the administration.

MSO is a very efficient and ac-tive organization. One need onlylook around to see the many cam-pus improvements initiated byMSG In recent years. Such d edica-tion and commitment on the partof the representatives and

If you do so, I can assure youthat I will recognize, listen to, andhelp all groups at Mercyhurst inevery way that is and is not at mydisposal.

Thank you,Brent Scarpo.

If elected, I, Patrick Callahan,will share the stereotype that mostpeople have of what a secretarydoes. Taking notes, typingminutes and recording the roll atmeetings are all1" very importantduties in the job of beingsecretary. But, I believe they areonly a small part of what thesecretary should do.

If elected, I will do more thanthat. Planning new* activities forthe Mercyhurst Community, br-inging more of the students ideasinto government, are all only afew of the many things I believe Ican do as secretary.

I believe that there is no limit towhat a person can do, if the willand the desire are there. I sincere-ly mean it when I say that theMercyhurst Community cancount on me to give full effort inmy duties a s secretary.

I recognize that my full effortwill be needed in order to continue

Soccer Team PreparesFor Indoor Season

k £ By Corky Prem.jThe Mercy hurst Soccer Team ,

led by the coaching oflCeesSchmidt and Burley Grimes is ex-pected to begin their;- indoorseason at "the end of this month.They have entered into the Penn-Briar League and expect to play afull twenty game schedule.

Most of the team is*keepingbusy with winter workouts. All ofthe members work ou t at theGlen wood Y , but not as on e unit.

I talked with several of theplayers and most of them * thinkthat the general attitude of the

team is good. They all expect aterrific season in the fall and areanxiously awaiting the indoorseason.

I also had the chance to talk toone of the three seniors on theteam, Eddie Marsharka. He saidthat the previous season was atremendous success, and that the

indoor season will also go as well.He believes that the indoor train-ing will help some of the freshmenwith their basic controlling skills.

Marsharka, a native of Erie,says he plans to keep an eye on theprogress of the team and feels thatthere is a great potential for nextyear.

As far as recruiting goes, therehas been some rumor of a possibleforeign student or two playing forthe 'Hurst next year, but nothinghas been confirmed as yet. '*

Both coaches look forward witha positive attitude for the upcom-

ing season, and urge fans to comeout and root on the '83 indoorteam.
