Cost Study Reveals ]"Mercyhurst lis A Value 9By Chris Ch mielewski 3 f lNMERDIAD Staff Reporter 9

Facts recently released inJ acomparative study | of IWesternPennsylvania and Ohio public andprivate institutions concl uded thatfor a private institution Mer-cyhurst College i is reasonablypriced, i *\ I J B WlMercyhurst is the fourth leastexpensive private institution of 13private schools in the WesternPennsylvania. and Ohio area, asdetermined by comparing thet o t a l c o s t ( t u i t i o n a n droom/board). ---JfeThe institutions which-are lessexpensive than Mercyhurst areGrove City College, John CarrollUniversity, and Gannon Universi-ty. Other private schools such asT h i e l , A l l e g h e n y , ^ , a n dWestminster, are on the average,24 percent more expensive thanMercyhurst. ^ wWhen comparing the public andprivate institutions one also has totake into consideration that thebasic operating costs are the same,according to Andy Roth, directorof admissions. .However,: publicinstitutions are government fund-ed and so they can offer tuition ata lower cost. J ^^ "Price is not equal to quality(in education). . . . Price andquality determine value, and com-paring the quality of education tothe price, Mercyhurst is a v alue,"

said Roth.kc4 |nHKSBBBHHe said that for a small collegethere'are many | culturalfieventsprovided, suchj as j lecturers,movies, and plays. H^HBge&iS3"Even with the tuition increase(of 8 percent) for next yearSMer-cyhurst will still be a value," saidRoth- * U S IS I I IBHjHe also said that there is atrade-off involved in attending apublic institution as opposed to aprivate institution. | At a publicschool, a student may be exposedto more cultural events or newerequipment, but in return the stu-dent is treated as a number andnot an individual, he commented.Bi n a private institution, the pro-grams may not be as expansive orthe equipment asystate*of-t he-art,but a more personal environmentis stressed. In a small private col-lege the student has an/identitywith" oiher!~ suidertls Jandywitirfaculty."O n a* large campus you maynever directly talk to your pro-fessor, but here there is a closerstudent/faculty ratio,'' said Roth .Overall, when students decideon a public or private institutionthey must choose between a per-sonal environment and less expen-sive ed ucational costs.*L~ "Mercyhurst has that personalenvironment, while" it is still lessexpensive t han several.- otherprivate institutions," said R oth.

The U ltimate | | ' ' 1Marketing Strategy:Selling Yourself f r fNot only will finals face seniors next week, but so will thestart of spring break: the time either devoted to vacationing,possibly in the sand-box down South; relaxing at home or

with friends; or spent arduously and practically searching forjobs. J ^ 4If sen iors haven't begun their career-pursuit, they ought toat this point . G rads here must remember that the majority ofcolleges and universities hold commencement earlier thanMercyhurst. Yes, it's more than just a little scary leaving thecomfort and security which lies within the gates and facingunpaid loans and new responsibilities.The job-search must be mature, professional, and finely-tuned in 1983. The scarcity of jobs demands this. Applicantsmust hunt with a well-defined career aim sharply in focus.They must be confident and prepared. They must have'in-dividuals behind them who will be solid, supportivereferences and mentors.This editorial is not commu nicating as a to ol of the CareerServices Office. It's message originates from students and isdesigned to be heard by students. Each week, press releases,magazines, national college press newsletters, and other stu-dent newspapers arrive at The Merciad. The economy, jobs,"hot" majors, "cold" majors, and tips for the '83 graduate.These themes are expounded, expanded, and exploded. Theymake it impossible for seniors to not k now the miserable stateof affairs. 1.But the mad search for jobs need not be in vain if doneright. Everyone has heard the advice: dress properly, preparea.good9resume, gear.your^cover letter specifically for thee m p l o y e r / h a v e l e t t e rs o f ^ r e c o m m e n d a ti o n , m a k e c o n t a c t s ,attend interviews on campus, don't ask questions during in-terviews, do ask questions during interviews, the list goes onand on and on. rDon 't go into the career-hunt alone. Ask friends, relatives,advisors, instructors, and administrators for help. Let othersknow of your goals - who you know and what they hear mayprove invaluable as graduation nears. - J

Jobs^are there, somewhere. Starting now and looking theright way will help to open the door and get students insideandrface to face with the future. * - " - * - PS

From Sesame StreetTo(By Joy Kolb Because the intellectual contentof many children's television pro-grams parallels (and, in somecases,|exceeds) the mindless papthat passes for adult .programm-ing, I assumed that the transitionfrom Sesame Street to more adultfare would be a relatively^simplestep for- my daughter. Never-theless, I was somewhat takenaback when, at the age of four-and-a-half, Grover, Oscar, Maria,and Cookie Monster were sudden-ly replaced in her affections byHawkeye, B. J., M argaret, and Kl-inger. Somehow I- thought therewould be an intermediate step.Now, having watched the finalepisode of MASH on Monday, Irealize that the switch wasn't real-ly abrupt.For a seasoned 3 veteran ofSesame Street, the characters ofM*A*S*H| should have beenvaguely! familiar. For example,take Mr. Hooper. He's the grand-fatherly storekeeper who passesout egg creams and I advice toLamulti-racial and multi-ethnicgroups of assorted humans andMuppets who have been known todrive him fto the outer limits ofself control. Who would unders-tand better than Col. Potter, who,after a day of dealing with Kl-Jjag rjy Qja,r.les. J* ia n k o rTvlargaret, often found relief talk-ing to a horse? /^The County c o n s t a n t l ydemonstrating his ability by coun-ting everything in sight, has arecognizable parallel in Charles,the pom pous^ aging prep pie.Respite the fact that their one-track minds are exasperating, one

is left with the mildly5unsettlingrealization that someday theirspecial skillsmight.beneeded, atwhich time their personalitieswould become irrelevant. Klingeris Oscar the Grouch, both super-

Joy Kolbficially against the no rms of socie-ty but in reality very much logical,even expected, products of thatsociety. Hawkeye and B.J. (orTrapper) have as their counter-parts Bert i and Ernie, the closefriends who manage to stay thatway through countless adven-tures. Radar and ?Big Bird alsohave a lot in common.*Both arechild-like innocents who makemistakes but never stop J tryingdespite moments of self-doubt.They Jind solace^in their: privateplaces, Big Bird in? his'-nest andRadar with his teddy bear.Margaret H oulihan's evolutionfrom Hot Lips surely reflects theoutspoken * feminism of AlanAlda. As Margaret (as opposed toHot Lips), her parallel is Linda,the young deaf woman. Both facevery special problems-as a woman

in a man's army and as a deaf per-son in a world of hearing people. Ipersonally would have liked "tohave seen more feminist women inM*A*S*H but I think the pointmight have been lost if Margarethad to come to grips with a femaleadversary. In the same vein, ?1regret the dropping of Spear-chucker, the black surgeon, afterthe first season.iWhat is my daughter learningfrom M*A*S*H? Thefhardestthing to explain was the reason forthe hospital unit - war. My at-tempts only evoked; an in-credulous stare which developedinto the face which usually greetsa particularly "yukky" medicine.After two years of watchingM*A*S*H, her understanding ofwarfare is vaguely equivalent tothat which I reached in the fall of1967. She has learned that menand women who are very in-telligent do very dumb things, tha tbeing in [ au tho r i t y ! is notsynonymous with being right, thatheroism and despair can be validresponses to seemingly unreal cir-cumstances, that* the only cons-tant enemy in war fare6 is death,and that one should never judge aman by the color of his dress! Infact my most disquieting momentoccurred in the middle of dinnerone night when she asked, "Mom-my, 3is Klinger a trans vest ite?" Ihade hoped to postpone thatdiscussion for several years, ggcijg2So I Hawkeye has returned toCrabapple Cove, : Charles is atBoston Mercy Hospital, and B.J.has been^reunited with Peg, andErin in San Francisco. InWashington, Reagan wants tosend more advisers to ElSalvador. Ed Meese is probablyout looking for Frank Burns andCol. Flagg. Have adults learnedanything from M*A*S*H?

M*A*S*H Concludes mWL'>*S''Goodbye, j .Farewell, And Amen"

By Chuck Straub |8 'MERCIAD Staff ReporterThe war has finally come, to anend. The battlefields are silent,and the former campsites ?lie inmute testimony to what has hap-pened there. Yes, after over tenyears, the ongoing war on Mon-day nighti" television has ceased.M*A*S*H ran it's final episodeon Monday, February 28 , 1983.So far this year, our entertain-ment has suffered two majorlosses, with Gary Trudeau takinghis sabbatical from writing;the"Doonesbury" comic strip, andnow |M * A * S * H* has come to ahalt. "Doonesbury" will even-tually return, 4but what aboutM*A*S*H? Itfis rumored thatthere is a sequel in the works, tofollow the exploits of ColonelPotter and Max Klinger after theyreturn home from the war, but asI stated, it is only a rumor.The people in the television in-

dustry have already noted tha t thefinal two and a half hour episodwas the highest rated show in thehistory of American TV, but thisis no consolation to the fact thatM*A*S*H is gone. Sure, we canwatch reruns, but.it still isn't thesame. Most of the people of ourgeneration have grown up wat-ching the weekly antics of the4007th, and it seems that we havelost an old and dear friend. It ispossible that some time fin thefuture there may be another showto replace it, but will it give us thesame emotion, the same feelingt h a t twe ..developed w i t hM*A*S*H? ; I jPerhaps there is some comfortto be found in re-reading my wellworn copy of .the original novelthat started it all, or watching there-runs, but it still won't seem thesame t o The, because the feeling isgone. as

EaglesClawLakers In 01by Greg YokoMERCIAD Sports Co-EditorWhen Mercyhurst traveled toClarion 'State last Wednesday,

they knew they were in for a dosegame, but one they could win.Well, they were correct on bothassumptions. It was a close game,and, they should have won. 4The two ballclubs exchangedbaskets the entire first; half.Neither team took more than afour point lead. The half endedwith the Lakers in front, 36-35.The Golden Eagles held the"Shooting Machine," JohnGreen, to only six first halfpoints. Clarion State also lead therebounding statistic, 23-22.The second stanza was playedin much the same fashion. TheHurst was able to take a fivemarker1 advantage -twice, at [the12:45 and 5:21 marks, only tohave the Eagles battle back.-Clarion State even managed toget back* into the lead. With theclock showing 2:39, the Eaglestook a 68-66 lead. JIn the next 2:00, both teams connected on two hoops to keepthe Clarion advantage to 2 points,

Green tied the contest at 72gwhen he hit two shots from the sinline. "Only :14 was left on the**clock. ^ j *Ater Clarion called two con-jgsecutive time-ou"fsvthe6ok uiefloor and waited for the clock towind down so they could take thefinal shot.The Eagles gave the ball to their4th all-time leading scorer, senior

Chris Roosevelt,J.who put up ajumper which hit the nets with :02on the clock. Mercyhurstdesperately signaled for a time-out.* ^ULaker mentor Bill Kalbaughwent to the drawing board andtold the team to run the playwhich won the game at Pitt-Johnstown. The clock at UP J hadshown the same, but the Hursthad been down by one. The playhad worked and Mercyhurst hadwon. * * Ai The Hurst took their familiarplaces on the floor; Coffieldunder the hoop at one end, Green,Morgan, and Berkeley at mid-court, and Jones standing, at thefoul line by the Laker bucket.Coffield then unleashed a fullcourt pass to Jon es. As the clockgave its final ticks, Jones caughtthe pass and shuffled the ball to adriving Morgan who pulled up atthe buzzer with a 5-foot jumperwhich 'rolled around the rimbefore falling through the hoop.The dramatic play gave the H urstanother chance as it sent the con-test into overtime.

The two teams again exchangedbuckets, with Clarion taking anearly 80-76 advantage. The Lakersbattled back on foul shots byMorgan and .Berkeley and ajumper by Green, to give Mer-cyhurst a 84-82 lead with :28remaining. ?The 'Hurst again fell apartunder pressure, a sign of a youngclub. * at Clarion State junior^ RalphNaples, turned a Laker pass intoan Eagle lay-up to make the scoreeven aHW with seven ticks on theclock.

Hurst Wins Finale, Ends 14-14by Greg YokoMERCIAD Co-Sports EditorThe Mercyhurst Men's Col-lege Basketball team endedtheir 1982-83* campaign on avictorious note by defeatingthe St. John Fisher Cardinals,83-82. * |
