"Coppelia" was originally done in1870, at the end of the Rom antic Era ofballet. The ballets of this era dealt withthe subject of tragic love^and "Cop-pelia" offers a clever commentary onthe dangers of infatuatio n. June Hines,assistant dance director and facultymember states the change in locationto Tech Memorial Auditorium was,"because the stage base is much big-ger than Zurn Recital Hall."

Highl ight ing ?the Vietnam Sym-posium last Thursday was a speechgiven by Leslie i H J Gelb, New fYorkTimes national security correspon-dent Reflect ing on the Vietnam WarjGelb refered to it as "the single mostpublic tragic event of my life."Gelb directed the Pentagon PapersProject during the war and although atth e time Gelb believed the war wasjust if ied, he has since changed hismind. "The Vietnam War was a warwhich was backed by the vast majorityof Americans until It looked as thoughit would go on forever and that wecouldn't w in," said Gelb.% Gelb definitely believes that theVietnam War had a great impact on thecitizens of the United States just asany war in the past has affected u s. Heexplained that the Civil War showedhow powerful the United States wasbecause it showed us that we couldfight an internal war and still remain inpeace afterwards. 1 5World War 1 left Americans in aperiod of transition, it left us withanguish and uncertainty, wonderingwhat kind of society we would end upbeing.Modern wars have launched new

trends or have reinforced alreadyestablished trends. M I | $km Before the Vietnam War, "W e were anation of innocence, not a culture thatliked to face realism. Known Ifor ourgenerosity^ we regarded|ourselves|assomething terribly important," hestated. After the war, "i t was start l ingto think how different weiwere. Therewas a greaterfconcern for civil rightsequality, women's l iberat ion, and therole of the church. We were profoundlydifferent," 'stated Gelb. Ouri trust? ingovernment, especially in foreign af-fairs, was not as strong as it had beenin the past. || Gelb continued by saying that thewar had created a fault-line which ranthrough the coun try; one that showedat the surface and one which was dif-f icult to bridge. Thefwound was a per-manent feature of our society."

So while the Vietnam War has longbeen ended, its affects still have an Im-pact on many people today. Mer-cyhurst students were allowed to takepart of this "reconsideration" of theVietnam War along with professorsand people who were directly involved,like Gelb himself. "I am proud to be apart of this rethinking process," Gelbconcluded.

Vietnam considered -Vietnam rememberedLast Thursday the college sponsored the symposium con-

templating U.S. involvement In the Vietnam War. Both theafternoon lectures and the evening speech drew Impressiveattendance by students and faculty. Much to the delight ofthe History and P olitical Science De partments, the event wasattended by many community people; there was an in-teresting mix of Vietnam veterans and high school students,who were curious about America's part icipation in the con-f l ict In Southeast Asia.As one of his campaign promises, MSG President DavidArmstrong vowed to bring more lectures to campus. And thatthe student government has done. This year MSG has virtually travelled the globe to enlighten the campus pop ulat ion.Fall term they took us over to South Africa for a look at thedivestment issue in that racially torn country, winter termthey took us to the Soviet Union to watch tv and this termthey took us back in time to an international event that isseemingly far removed and vague to most of the under-25population of the campus -- the Vietnam war.For maybe the first time in some studen ts' life, the VietnamWar seemed real. No longer was that part of history tosse d in-to a review of the 1960s, but the event stood on its own , to bediscussed, remembered and evaluated. Listening to some ofthe participants, including many college personnel, talkabout their experiences "over there", the whole idea of warbecame more vivid.Jokingly, many students claim they never get past WorldWar II In their high school history classes. So, Vietnam is tooold to talk about in current issues class and too recent formake most of the history books they had to read. But seeingand talking to the people who have Vietnam as a part of th eirlives' experience helped put it in some sort of historical con*tex t . It was strange to see the people who have taught you,helped In administrative areas or are known in the communitytalking about their personal "wart ime" memories.Response from the event was overa ll positive. One very in-terested veteran remarked that this Is the kind of activity that

should be held over a weekend to have more participa tion andmore time for the ind ividual session s. That may be somethingfor those involved to consider for next year's event.Thanks to last Thursday's symposium, Vietnam may havefinally found a resting place in many student minds.

Administration addressesrecent housing complainDear Editor,There are some misconcep-

t ions about housing and theprocess by which studentsselect next yea r's site. The ad-ministrat ion would l ike to ad-dress those problems.3 First, some plain facts. Mer-cyhurst has never in the past15 years turned away afreshman or transfer becausethere was no room on campus.Accomodations were alwaysmade for them. Those whowere on campus always hadthe "f irst choice." I f theyfollowed the t ime l ines theyhad a roof over their heads forthe next academic year. EvenIn "boom" years the collegescrambled to expand thecapacity by leasing the apart-ments we now own.*Even now we do not fill allthe beds that are available.This spring there are 779 bedsavailable. There are only 705beds f i l led. That translates in-to a 91 percent occupancy. Inthe fal l when things were"t ight" we had a 94 percentrate of occupancy. It would befoolish of the college to ex-pand the number of bedsavailable. At the present timethere are 115 beds filled In the

residence halls. That leavesro o m f o r 281 f r e s hm e nresidents.That brings up the crux ofthe matter. What the collegehas done has expanded thechoices for the residents. Indoing this we have once againproved that "No good deedgoes unpunished." Most col-leges and universities offero ne t y pe o f ho u s i ng - -residence halls. T hose' whochoose to live in apartmentsmust fendffor themselves offcampus. Because we have twoapartment complexes as wellas townhouses, the residentshave mult iple choices andmult iple opportunit ies to signup . Some residents havetranslated the words "mu lt ipleopportunit ies" into the words

"inalienable rights." On page10 of the college catalog is akey sentence. "Mercyhurstviews campus housing as aprivi lege."That brings the secondpoint, the process, into focus.The privilege of campus hous-ing was determined this yearby rewarding good behaviorand assigning negative pointsfor po or behavior. The very stu-dent code that some residentsquote also quotes at length

the rules for alcohol At no t ime are abeyance. To claimrules have changed The Director of Halways interested iconversations conc"be t te r , way to mousetrap" or howi m p l e m e n t a s yawards.

An athletic directorBy Lon Cyterski

What do you foal you'veaccomplished?What I tried to do Is to InstillInto the department a genuinespirit Ot real teamwork. Thararo two words In the dlotlonurythat roally stand out to me.Ons has a very positive con-notation: that Is rsamwork;ths other has a vory negativeImpact: ths opposlto of loamwork, Solflshness. (Thorn Istoo much sslflshnsss In theworld already.) jAll people hive strengthssnd weaknesses. Whon youhave a true team effort, thsstrsngths of your teammatesare emphasized and utilized tobalanos ths weakness ofothsra. So that In a largedepartment, suoh as Athletics,

the many strengths will sur-face and become dominantwhon you have sincere team-|work; the weaknesses, Insteadof being emphasized, will bsovershadowed.Consequently, when youhave true teamwork the entiredepartment takes pride In thsachievements of our variousteam8 and Individuals. For ox*ample, we are all proud andhonored when the footballteam goes 16-3 over the pasttwo seasons, when coachKalbaugh wins the Big FiveChampionship! has a 21 Inseason or is voted Coach ofthe Year. when coach Congerwins 20 games In baseball,when the football and basket-ball teams are nationally rank*ed, when ooaoh Bums turnsthe soocor program aroundacademically as well asathletically and goes 13-5,when coach Flndley's racquetmen continue to gain natlonap r o m i n e n c e , w h e n thevolleyballers of E lain Rug-giero and the women's soft-ball and basketball teamsbecome competitive, when a'Hurst swimmer places In a na-tional tournament, when'Hurst student*uthlotes gainAll-Amerloan status, when Mr.Shrevs's media guide winsspecial recognition, when Mar*cla Jensen molds a cohesiveunit of .cheerleaders, whenBrad and Steve care for ourathletes with professionalismand sincerity, when the Dlreo*tor of*Athletics-MaintenanceIs always there when a crisisarrives. At times Mke these, wecan bo proud end honoredbecause we are part of th"Team", ^ , ]However, when selfishnessexists, those achievementscreate envy rather than pride. Ilust hope that It I contributedanything In the past two andone-halt years, it Is gettingacross the concept of team-!

final philosophical ramblingwork, teamwork, teamwork, In-stead of s e l f i s h n e s s ,selfishness, self ishness.Outstanding results can beachlovod through harmonyand teamwork. However, woStill have a ways to go. IW h a t w a r e y o u rweaknesses?Too many to mention.Besides, the strengths of myteam-mates have overshadow*ed my weaknesses. \closing StatementI thank God and the Sistersof Mercy for the opportunity ofbeing associated with Mer-cyhurat College for the pastfourteen years.

Athletic Director, Leo CyicrskiA final philosophical rambl-ing to all our classy Mer-cyhurst athletes and coachesTrying to win should bsparamount to everything else.Winning Is a peak. Losing Is avalley peaks and valleys -Isn't that what life Is about?Leam to adjust and to acceptboth. Never be ashamed oflosing. We all are human. It'sthe, effort, that counts. Beashamed only of poor effort.I will close those ramblingsby quoting our favoritestatements of "class" that wesee exhibited by many of our'Hufot athletes and coaches:"Class never runs scared. ItIs surefooted and confident Inthe knowledge that you canmeet life head-on and handlewhatever comes along."Jacob had it. Esau didn't.Symbolically we can look toJacob's wrestling match withthe angel. Those who haveclass have wrestled with theirown personal 'angel' and wona victory that marks themthereafter, *Class never makes excuses.It takes Its lumps and learnsfrom past mistakes. Class Isconsiderate ^of others. Itknows that good manners isnothing more than a series ofpetty sacr i f ices. C lassbespeaks ran aristocracy thathas nothing to do withancestors or money. The mostaffluent blueblood can betotally without class, while thedescendant to a Welsh minermay ooze class from everypore. Class never tries to builditself up by tearing othersdown. Class is already up andneed not strive to look better

by making others look worse.Class can walk with kings andkeep Its virtus and talk withcrowds and keep the commontouch,' Everyone Is comfor-table with the person who hasclass, bocauso they are com-

fortable with themselves.If you have class, you don'tneed much of anything else. Iyou. don't have it,* no matterwhat else you have, it doesn'tmake much difference.Lon Cyterski has been In-

volved with Mercy hurstlege for the past 14 yeahas served as the AtDirector for the last years. Cyterski Is stedow n to pursue oInterests.
