Sisters Announce Geriatric Housingby Julie Cherico

At a 1973 Chapter meeting,the Sisters of Mercy cametogether? and made a strongcommitment to help the elderly.In addition to establishing acenter for senior citizens anddedicating themselves to theFoster Grandparent program,the Sisters of Mercy have received the zoning approval to buildthe Mercy Terrace Apartments,a complex for the independentelderly. ,j>This apartment building wasone of their main goals becausethey realized that nothin g of thissort was available to seniorcitizens around the Erie com-munity. They also realized thatseveral senior citizens aren'tqualified for subsidized housing, may live alone, or even livein a larger accomodation. SisterGabrielle, a member of the Admissions Committee, stated,[We're reaching a group ofpeople who really need this."44

T h e g r o u n d b r e a k i n gceremony for the complex wasiheld on April 11, 1986. Locatednext to the Motherhouse andf a c i n g E a s t G r a n d v i e wBoulevard, the three storybuilding will provide living accomodations for approximately80 senior citizens age 65 andolder. The facility includes 52one-bedroom apartments, 12two-bedroom apartments, andfour apartments to" provide forthe physically handicapped.For recreation, the residents,who are selected by the Admissions Committee through application and interview, will beable to enjoy a spacious loungeon the first floor and a smallerlounge on each of the other two| floors. Each floor has a porchoverlooking the lake and also alaundry room. There will be abridge connecting the complexwith the Senior Citizens Centerand the Motherhouse to provideeasy access for the residents.The location of the apartments

will also give the elderly an opportunity to participate inL several programs with the college, prep school, MercyhurstCenter of the Arts, and St.Luke's School, j .In a couple of weeks, the con

struction workers from PiattCo . will be finished with the exterior and will begin the interior.By that time, the members ofthe Admissions Committee willhave carefully selected thefuture residents of the MercyTerrace Apar tments , whichwere, designe d by RichardWeibel. "We're practically don ei n t e r v i e w i n g , " s t a t e d S r .Gabrielle, "and we have a finegroup of people to choosefrom." i ISr. Gabrielle feels thatreligious groups have to formcertain programs and facilitiesof these types because of thefact that the government isn'tdoing too much to help out.This $3.2 million complex isunderwritten by the Sisters of

Mercy Terrace Apartments under construction by Piatt Co .v Photo: TMercy through the use of theirland and the help of the bank;the Sisters did not and will notset out to make a profit. Thiscomplex has been provideds tr ict ly f rom the Sis ters '

help.As far as the Sisters arcerned, they, are satisfy

need in which not only supporters, but the rest 'community agree.

SEPTEMBER 19,1986 3Jbe fflerciabCommunication; DepartmentGives Itself A Faeelif t By Matthew J. Clark

There's a new look in the Mer- jcyhurst Communications Department following an extensiverenovation by a very few, veryd e d i c a t e d communicationsstudents. ?Bobbie Gaydos, Carl Kovski,Chris Kovski , and DebbieD' ALessio made the improvementsto the facilities which house thecampus radio station,*WMCY,and the newspaper, The Merciad. *Gaydos, a senior communicationsmajor, cites morale as the reasonfor the renovation,w "Morale had sunk to an all-time low in Communicationsbecause of faculty changes andthe fact that our radio signalwasn't clear since most of thetransmitters weren t in workingorder. $

"We decided we needed achange and decided to go for it."she said. "We also wanted tochange the image that studentshad of WMCY and give thestudents who work down heresome motivation. We want the entire campus to have a better idea

of-what we are."Added Gaydos, "We're a one-of-a-kind station in Erie and wewant students to know about it".Gaydos estimated that she has putin" between 70 and 100 hourswithin the last four weeks on theproject and that she expects tohave about 15 more hours inbefore it is completed.Carl Kovski, also a senior communications major, has put in 25 to 30 hours in the renovation process himself. He agrees, that improving the morale of the department was important. "It's a newenvironment. It looks new andgives everyone an attitude thatthis is a new beginning. It looksmore like a workplace." he said.* 'We w a n t e d incomingfreshmen to think of our department as more of a communications department than a basement." he added.Richard Ragan, Assistant Professor of Communications, viewsthe renovations as "Great". "It 's ,great because the students in-'itiated the project themselves.. They thought of it, they got thematerials, and did the work." ex

claimed Ragan^ "These studentsspent many hours this past summer * preparing, cleaning, and-finally renovating. We'got somenew furniture down here and thestudents dressed the place up andgot it ready for the school year."he added.Ragan indicated that the moraleol the department has, indeed,been helped by the "new look"."There is a good, positive feelingwith the WMCY staff about theschool year and par t of that is seeing a nice, clean, remodeled facility here." he stated.Carl Kovski indicated that thework he put into the renovationhas brought him some personalfulfillment too. "It's much betterbringing tours around here nowand when people see the department for the first time since weimproved it, they almost immediately notice the difference.That makes me feel pretty good."he said. * ? ftMaintenance stated that theycould not speculate as to howmuch it would have cost, the college to have them do therenovations. 3New Faculty Strengthen'College

by Cayrn Bausch _^Due to a few teachers takingsabbaticals and others leaving totake teaching positions elsewhere,there were seven openings on theMercyhurst faculty. They hayebeen filled with new full-time p rofessors, three that are additionsand four that are replacements.'Dr. Thomas Donahue takesover the position held by Dr.Joesph Filonowicz in Philosophy.Filonowicz left Mercyhurst for ateaching assignment at LongIsland University.Donahue has been a part-timeteacher at two community taughtcourses at the Wyoming and Attica state prisons. Originally fromBrooklyn, N.Y., he has >been aresident of Buffalo until movingto Erie. | J f. For the fall term, he is teachingthree sections of "World ofPhilosophy" and a senior core,ethics class. He is impressed bythe scholarly atmosphere at Mercyhurst and "Will enjoy the full-time position on the f aculty." *A sixth additional-member to

His name is Gary Myersand he will be teaching Rhetoric,'Early British Literature, WorldMasterpieces and ContemporaryPoetry this fall, i _i .;,,A ft e r rece i v i n g a. .warmwelcome from the Mercyhurstcommunity, Myers stated, "Thisis a good environment for a studyand learning experience and theEnglish students are very seriousabout their work."He received his doctoral degreeat the University of Houston andstayed there to teach for sevenyears.Over in the Biology Department, Diane Dudzinski replacesLinda Williams, who took timeoff to work towards an advanceddegree in her field.Dudzinski hast taught inManhattan, N.Y., for five yearsand for eight years in Santa Fe,New Mexico.

44 Raisin Hell 99by Brian Sher idanJoseph Pulitizer once said "The job of the newspaper is toprint the truth and raise hell." Well, Joe, sometimes it 's easiersaid than done. I feel though that sometimes that is exactly wh ata new spape r, even a college weekly, must strive for to effectivelybe a "watchdog." So we have s tar ted to s t r ive. *First, we have'made some changes in the old, venerablenewspaper . Las t year 's edi tor , Naomi Romanchok, built thispaper into a solid body of reporting. This year, we hope to notonly contin ue the extensive news coverage bu t to cover news thatwill affect you that has happened in the ('outside world." Beingsuch a closed comm unity, thou gh, we will be able to describe theevents in personal terms showing how, for ins tance, a Graham-Ruddman-Hollings bill would restrict financial aid to fellowStudents. We will also be bringing you stories about subjects thatshould get you concerned, angry or outraged about the world inwhich we live. ^ feOn a more visual level though you probably have noticed thenew flag that adorns the top of the paper. We chose it basicallyfor no more reason than we liked how it looked. It 's a nodtoward the past days of newspapers. We also changed the typeface a bit to one that's a little fancier. I hope it will give the "newMerciad" a look of its own and not just another mimic of "USAToday." We are also proud to run, exclusively in Erie, the cartoon "The Far Side." Wri t ten and drawn by Gary Larson, i t ' sone of the hottest strips in the country right now . It's also one ofthe most bizzare, showing what happens when reality suddenlygoes awry. ;; 3?Other features to look for are "Music Note s" and "Pe rsonal i ty Profile." The irreverent "Nothing Sacred" will also be making an appearance now and then if we can get its lazy writer offof his duff.

The firstdifference I noticed w as in t he Admissions Office. Tom Dore helpedme through the process the Fridaybefore classes started. For a fewhours of my 'time, 1 received the"Mercyhurst Experience." 'AtCase, I went to get a copy of myschedule at the beginning of myfreshman year.

At Mercyhurst, though, I was assigned aadvisor from whom I have actually received advice. Dr. Pettroniotold me what guidelines I had tofollow for scheduling spring andclasses I might find interesting.Another difference is thestudents. At Case, there were approximately 5500 studen ts.

Dean Describ es Ch anges A n dChallenges F or Anniversary Yearby Dean David Palmerk Mercyhurst started its 60th Anniversary year the same way it hasstarted so many in the recent past--in an upbeat way, with newacademic features, and promisefor future success. nA freshman class of 360 enteredthe College and helped swell theoverall student ranks to m ore than1800. Seven new full-time facultymembers began teaching inseveral disciplines j hroughou t theCollegethree as additional faculty, four as replacements. The Coldlege inaugurated several thingswhich have already had an impacton the community. Some of them,!of course, carried over from theprevious year, generated from"Project 90." For example, theCollege now has a new academicstructure. Eight division chairpersons report to the Dean instead ofnineteen department directors.

nd eighteen department directors themselves report to the divis i o n ch a i rp e rso n s . A n ewacademic curriculum was also approved after months of consideration by many organizations at theCollege. It will go into effect nextfall. A new faculty developmentstrategy is also about to getunderway.The program for learningdisabled students, designed byfaculty in the Education division,'attracted ten new students to Mercyhurst in the fall. These students,with normal intelligence, simply

have learning problems which require some special attention bythe faculty.

r.The College has begun acooperative effort with Mercyhurst Prep in what is called anInternational Baccalaureate pro-

with capital campaign funds. Allin all, 8,200 new titles were addedto the collection since July 1,1985. This represents roughly7,000 titles bought with capitalcampaign funds and 1,200 acquired as gifts.

If the above-mentioned changesdon't seem sufficient, just waitawhile. Something else is boundto develop, especially at a place asdynamic as Mercyhurst.

I wish the best to all thstudents , facul ty andministrators and hope you'la challenging and rewardinahead.
