    B i l l D o p i e r l aMercyhurst is on s the move!On e just has to look at the Lakerbasketball team as the- perfect;:example of tha t statement After?a rather dismal start, the Laker"hoopers'1 have shown a greatdeal of improvement. Indeed, theopener against Lock Haven was"dismal" in that we lost.|However, the team showed signsof brilliance that, unfortunately,Iwere offset by many errors. Alack of height and experienceJiplagued the Lakers in that firstcontestSlippery Rock disproved a few|of these "bad omens.'' The boysgfrom the 'Hurst came back manyptimes in that contest, and{.produced the "coo l" to hold ontothe one-point victory .T he victory over Allegheny put|i t alKtogetherdefense, speed,shooting. In a week,>the Lakers^appear to have come a long way.from th e opening loss. .ysd All is not "roses" though. Thatfamous line of poetry "...and Ihave miles to g o before I sleep.-."gmust be running through DICKFox's mind at this point.Even with* their amount oiimprovement, mistakes stillhaunt the Lakers. I Lack of experience is ; ; the biggest"bugaboo." Turnovers and unnecessary fouls are the specifics.Mistakes of this nature alwayshurt a young, hustling ball club.The Lakers shave a lot ofbasketball awaiting them (18games as of this printing), andinvariably, there will be nig hts ofconsternation around cam pus .

    On the other hand,: a lot ofbasketball spells a lot of improvement* The Lakers haveshown that as a first year team ,they are "cannon fodder" for nor,one. They came back in both theirfirst two | games^f blowingAllegheny right off th e co urt. Theseason may be long and at timesfrustrating, but the basketballteam has disappointed no one,surprised some, except theirfans, to whom they are "thegreatest."* f I fT H E PLAYERSIf there is^ air team leader, itwould have to be J.Ci Carter.There are few words to describehis play in the first three ga mes.He was outstanding in fa losing

    cause against Lock Haven, and itwas his steal and subsequentbasket that put the Hurst on topfor good at Slippery Rock.Against Alegheny was the best

    points, 10 rebounds, 12'assistsand he was pulled out with tenminutes left in the game. J.C.deserved eve ry bit of the standingovation he received when he leftthe game. J M I |flSpace restricts this writer fromdoing an adequ ate job describingthe rest of the team . This will bedone at other times and by otherpeople. But the overall effect onthis writer is one u of ^ greatpleasurepleasure in watchingth e Lakers develop, from g ame to

    game, as 3a "team that. :willdefinitely be making a name foritself. It is? just that fact of"team" play, that has broughtth e two victories and will continueto bring the many victories that ahopeful future holds.I | SCHOOL SPIRIT m #The tremendous amount ofspirit shown by the team has alsobeen exhibited by the studentbody, J faculty, and administration.

    Well, our Laker basketballseason is in fulls swing now. Theteam record stands atvsix winsand on e loss. W e have proven thatw e canhold our o w n i n a league ofseasoned teams* IIn our first game* w e lost toLock Haven; fwe cracked underthe pressure of a close game andlost However, there was somecommendable play in this game*especially by J. C. Carter andtf'Str etc h" McConnel. J.; C. hadon e of h is usual games pouring ineighteen points and pulling downtwenty rebounds. The happysurprise, however, was bigStretch McConnel who came offthe bench to put in nineteen pointsand grab twelve rebounds. Buteven with these fine efforts,:theteam couldn't keep it together atthe en d when w e needed it.S o w e pulled into Slippery Rocka losing team to play against astronger team than Lock Haven. Imust admit I had my doubts; Ifigured if we couldn't keep ittogether against Lock Haven, wewould never get*-it togetheragainst Slippery Rock. But, whenw e took the cou rt, nobody seemeda to look nervous except me . Wei|took the court and weren't to, begbeaten. The lead changed fifteentimes, but: the last time we werein the lead and we d idn't crackwew o n ! j?S Z\ . |gWednesday, we were at homeplaying Allegheny with a onegame winning strea k going for us.

    This time no one was nervous, a tleast no o n e f admitted' it; thegeneral consensus was that wewere going to shellac Allegheny.We took the court for the firsttime with confidence. The Lakerswent crazy shooting 52 per centfrom the floor in a 100 to 76whomp. We had six players indouble figures. J. C. Carter with20 points, Rick Fes sler and DanBukowski with 18 each, SteveAlbert and Mike Emick with 13each, and Smoker Jones with 10a prime example of a balancedattack.!The team players who thus fa rhave stood out consistently are J.C. Carter with IS plus points pergame and 13 plus rebounds, andMike E mick with03 plus pointsper game and 10 plus rebounds.Steve Albert thus far would haveto be the defensive star with hissuperb blocks of the opponent'sshots. T he restof the team is fine,t o o , especially Dan |Bukowskiwho is progressing at "*!asuperhuman pace into a greatball player, Rick Fessle r who hasfound his-H devastating shootinge y e , a n d Carl Jones who is turninginto^one of the finest dribblersaround. *?

    The Lakers are on the go now.There will be no stopping them ifthey stay together. So it looks like^Mercyhurst is going to be*wellknown even in our time. JGoLakers, Go!

    In Novel\ Of Adolescence

    The adolescent! groping form a n h o o d a J p e r e n n i a lprotagonist in l i terature-emerges again in the characterHermie in^ Herman Raucher's"Summer of J42." For an effective representation^ of thethemethcu'pains, dreams,-andconfusion of this adolescent,Raucher presents the people andevents of that important summeras they filter through th e mind ofthe fifteen-year-old b o y . jThe basic appeal of the novellies in the irony and humorinherent in the! misconceptionsabout the opposite sex, theeagerness to learn about sex, andthe forced attempts to appearmature that Hermie and hisfriend Oscy| share with absoluteseriousness. Raucher \ describeswith special vividness an incidentin the last of these sources of|comedy. Taking coffee with an"older woman" of twenty-two(Dorothy) whom* he adm ires,Hermie nonchalantly swallowsthesteam ing| brew as if it wereLcold milk and stoically suffers theInconsequences.Through this humor, whichtriggers memories of similarexperiences in the livesfeof thereaders,*the audience is able toidentify with Hermie ancHOscy.Besides^this empathy A th enatural, realistic dialogue anddaydreams land the contrastswithin the characte rs makeHermie and the people aroundhim understandable and some ofthem even likable. $ p |A particularly effective scenewhich reveals the characters'feeling and sets the tone picture s *the boys5 drooling over the"eugenics book." T h e sequence ofevents comprising the climaxexhibits special quality in capturing the blend of unselfishnessand selfishness, *of insight| andignorance, of man and boy thatHermie reveals in his interactionwith Dorothy.These are the strong points butthe novel also contains flaws thateffect annoyance and stifle thechance for an overall favorableeffect.^^^ IDespite th e fact that the readersees Dorothy through the eyes ofthe boy who loves her, she doesn ot induce in the.reader th e strongemotion! tha t the? boys feel butunfortunately remains ratherneutral as a lovely, considerate,

    bu t unperceptivel woman.(Hermie's image of her). Also,credible motivation for D orothy'sseduction of Hermie, the crucialmoment;in the narrative, is notprovided. Since Hermie isbasically a reactor,! Dorothy'smotivation here, is|relevant \andthe boy's interpretation althoughnecessary, falls short of th e t ruth!Hermie's fantasies andthoughts at times exhaust an itemof< foeus$ beyond the point of effectiveness. Conversely, theflashback abruptly terminatesafter the climax without allowing

    the reader, w h o has accompaniedthe boy through his dreams andemotions, the privilege of Hermie's reflections o n the event andh is reactions t o i t . 1The somewhat stilted wordchoice for the,, beginning andconclusion of the novel, the partsseen through the eyes of the adult"Herm ie", also lacks the fluiditythat the reader expects! of anindividual who projects sensitivity in his youth andadulthood.

    YOUTH ADVICE SHAPESNA TIONAL iDRAFT POLICY

    ij" The agent for progress andimprovement is participation.The Selective Service System hadundergone many; significantchanges in the. past two year s.Many of the changes are directlyattributable to the young men andwomen who participatedresponsibly during this difficultperiod of change.Our chieff mechanism for thisyouth involvement has been theSelective Service Youth AdvisoryCommittees. Established inevery state across the country,the groups have discussed theIdeas, suggestions and criticismsof youth on a wide variety of drafttopics. I -,The new draft law andregulations reflect nearly twodozen significant changes in thesystem. Of the thirty-sixsuggestions put forward by over600 youth advisers, eighteen havebeen implemented by law orregulation. Six are being studiedfurther for possible future implementation.; Ten were beyondthe jurisdictional control of theSelective Tservice System andwerefreferred to the ExecutiveBranch or Congress for consideration. Only f two weredisapproved. * One of the more importantchanges brough t about concernedthe age of local draft boardmem bers. The youth com mitteessuggested lower ag es andf acurtailment of the length ofservice ton local boards*Regulations previously statedthat citizens could not be appointed to local i boards unlessthey were at least 30 years old.They could not serve beyond their7 5th birthday or for more than 25years. The new'regulations anclaw limit service on local draftboards to 20 years andf set faminimum age of 65 years. Aminimum age of 18 has been setfor appointment to local boards.

    Among our advisers wereconscientious objectors whobelieved that they I should *be

    provided an opportunity to workin jobs that better serve thenational health? interest andwelfare. Under the old lawconscientious^ objectors performing alte rnate civilian servicewere under (the control of localdraft boards. Under the new lawthe National Director of SelectiveService has Ihe res pons iblity foradministering the conscientiousobjector work program. Theguidelines have been broadenedfor acceptable work and statedirectors have been delegated theresponsibility of assigning andreviewing'work ^assignments forthese men. iOur involvement with youth is acontinuing activity J An informalsurvey, for example, shows thatwe will need tof replace approximately'one quarter of ourlocal board membership becauseof the new f maximum agerequirements; of the|law. Whilethe draft system will suffer fromthe loss of these dedicated menand women, we are eag er to takeadvantage of this opportunity toreplace them with young men andwomen reflecting the ethnic,educational I and socialbackgrounds off regis trantsacross the nation.Appointed by the Presidentupon the recommendation of thestate governor, the local boardmember holds, perhaps, the mostimportant position in the Selective Service System shouldcontact the office of his or hergovernor.Many young people are askingthemselves^ these days with agreat degree of seriousness thanwas displayed by previousgenerations where their valueslay,? what!activities make theirlives meaningful J and *how theycan better contribute to society. Ihope that many young men andwomen will recognize these newopportunit ies} to serve theSelective Service as a worthwhilemeans of social involvement andpublic service. We fneed theirhelp.v - | 1 Z I

    In accord \with our youth advisers' recommendations, thenew law abolished studentdeferments for all college studentwho were not enrolled during the1970-1971 academic year. In otherwords, from now on, no morecollege deferments will begranted. But the law alsoprovides that both undergraduateand graduate students whoreceive induction orders will havetheir inductions postponed untilthe end of their current academicterm, quarter, or semester. Astudent in his last academic yearcan h ave his induction postponeduntil the end of the school year,allowing himto graduate.]The advisers were concernedthat draft" calls varied fromcommunity to community, andthey sought a more uniformapproach to selecting men forservice, f . iIn the pasta system based upontotal registration was used toapportion the national draft callto the state headquarters, who inturn apportioned the call to individual local draft boards. Thenew regulations removed therequirement to use this systemand instead established a uniformnational call. Now all young menin the nation with the same lotterynumbers'who are available willreceive induction notices atnearly th e same time.I t was recommended thatyoung men be afforded a judicialreview of appeals to local andstate boards in classificationmatters. The new law provides arealistic movein this direction,permitting a young m an la p-pealing his classification to bringwitnesses and present his appealto a quorum of the board.. Theyoung man also is allowed now tomake am personal appearancebefore .1 the Senate f andPresident ia l appeal ? boards .Further, a registrant can requirea kboard to give him a writtenexplanation of |its|denial of hisclaim.
