Page 2 PConvocation Lauds Excellencef At Honors Convocation, Mercy hurs t annu ally aw ards students having shown excellence in academic studies and leader*ship. It tributes girls who have fulfilled Mercyhurst's ultimategoaldevelopment of a full Christian life.Girls receiving honors have excelled in their field of study,in the club of their choosing, in their service to Mercyhurst.Their excellence is more than just competence in a particulararea; it is a striving toward andiachievement of!high standards in all areas. In achieving excellence, however, they haveoften been honored throughout the year. They may have received a research grant from the government, been electedpresident of their club, obtained a scholarship f rom the school.Why then a special assembly ? ?J

With its solemnity, the assembly crowns excellent work.By stressing the importance of working well toward a meaningful goal, it acts as an incentive for*non-awardees, especiallyunderclassmen, to increase their achievement! Finally, it affords the student body an opportunity to laud superior performance for ". . . the wealth of a nation consists more thanin anything else in the number of superior men that it harbors." (William James) f: f IffShould Students Choose Profs? SMaythe month of final exams, choosing rooms andregistering for fall classes is here. Once again we are registering without knowing which professor is teaching what course.Since a college education isfsuch an expensive venture for thestudents, shouldn't the studentlbe permitted to voice a "professor preference"? |$ % H iIt is obviously much more convenient for*the student todetermine what she is taking and then during the summermonths for the administration to arrange the schedules sothat all the subjects a re accommodated. But it would seem thata better academic atmosphere would prevail if everyone wentto classes taugh t by the person they felt they could best learnfrom. "Personality conflicts" are real; they do exist on theMercyhurst campus. A person very well may discover thateither she is not able to please her professor or that she cannot adjust to his method of teaching. Does it seem logical thatshe should have to continue taking courses from him whenthere are other professors teaching the subject involved?The posting of professors and their respective subjectswould also be beneficial to studen ts, w ho, while no choice is involved in their scheduling of classes, feel that they?need!toadjust their schedule to be able to meet the requirements oftheir major professors. 1 | |A possible solution to this problem is a later registrationafter all ofithe classes have been assigned professors. "Professor Preference is not an unheard of policy. Most schools allow it where it can be arranged. Will Mercyhurst?* |CONGRATULATIONS . . .
