Four Students Attend Washington Conference; r* *Learn About
Federal Financial Aid Cutbacks
Brace Miller w.Four Mercyhurst studentsrecently attended a
Coalition ofIndependent College and Univer-sity Students* (COPUS)
con-ference in Washington D.C.toadopt strategies for
mobilizingagainst federal cutbacks in stu-dent aid. iAccording to
Student Govern-ment President Rich Lanzillo, he ,Bob Breslin, Tony
Paradiso, andBruce Miller took part in the
three-day conference, February3-5. %S|j ;- "Thepurpose of the
conferencewas to provide information for uson how to organize on
the campuslevel and on the state level toprepare a defense against
theproposed cuts in higher educa-tion," stated Lanzillo. The
slatedcuts for-the 1983 fiscal year in-volve eliminating 50 per
cent ofthe Basic Education OpportunityGrant (BEOG) or PELL
grants.These gran ts w ill limit eligibili-ty for students whose
family in-comes are above $14 thousand,explained Lanzillo. This
shouldaffect one million students, headded. TZ-~< The
Supplemental EducationOpportunity Grant (SEOG) maybe eliminated
under the newbudget, said Lanzillo. This is afederal grant
dispersed tostudents at the determination ofthe college^ i jjifc\
Severe cutbacks are intendedfor College Work Study and
theGuaranteed Student Loan pro-grams. Lanzillo stated thatstudents
who seek GSL's mayhave to meet strict criteria inorder to receive
the loans. A
Break-InIAt Zurn fErie police -are still in-vestigating a
break-in that occur-red Saturday morning between6:30 and 8:30 a.m.
at Zurn Hall,here a t Mercyhurst College. >Police said there
were at leasttwo burglars responsible. Theburglars entered the
basement ofZurn Hall using bolt cutters to cutthe padlocks on the
doors.Using bolt cutters once again,the burglars cut the locks off
ofapproximately ten lockers andbroke into the jewelry
andphotography classrooms. Several cabinets inside^ the classroomJ
were forced open. T here ' wassome ransacking, police said,but
damage was not expected tobe high.; %r * ?: Police- theorized that
theburglars were looking either formoney | or precious
metals,neither of which they found. ,7Will Sydow, director of
Mer-cyhurst security said, "We haveabsolutely no idea who couldhave
done it." Sydow went on tosay that; "they too are still
in-vestigating the incident."
needs test will be administeredand a much higher interest
rateand user fee may be imposed onthe loans. - ' , ^ \>The
National^Direct:StudentLoans (NDSL) may j|also beeliminated under
the new budget,said Lanzillo. 4&^S*jjgFederal education
awardstotalling $1.3 million may. beabolished with the proposed
1983plan. ' Lanzillo has formulated a"three-pronged attack," in
orderfor Mercyhurst to combat themassive student aid cutbacks.The
lirst strategy calls for anextensive, on-campus letter-writing
campaign. This studenteffort will be launched sometimein February
according to Lan-zillo. The student-written letterswill be
addressed to members ofCongress and the Senate re-questing the
defense of federalstudent aid programs. K^ ' J The second tactic
planned byLanzillo will be>a conference,based at Mercyhurst,
which willattempt to involve eight collegesand universities' in i

Commuter Forum Held;Parking Problem
Mercyhurst commuters held ameeting Monday to express
theirdispleasure of a num ber of thingsconcerning their parking,
snowremoval and the price of parkingpermits at the college, p^
Tim-Bernik, the studentgovernment commuter represen-tative, held
the third meeting ofthe commuter forum, whichmeets every two weeks
to discusscommuter problems. At" theFebruary 8 meeting,
studentscomplained that nobody couldfind a place to park. Parking
is aproblem? everyone faces, butmore so with the commuters,says
Bernik^l j ^JCollege President Dr. Garvey
has a new idea for the parkingproblem: color* coding. Thiswould
put all the parking lots on aspecific color. Students a s well
asfaculty would be required to parkin their color lots.
Differentstickers will be required andanyone caught in a wrong
coloredlot will be ticketed. , i t sP; Commuters also fejt that
snowremoval was another big pro-blem. Bernik explained that
thecollege has p ut the maintenanceworkers on call In order to
handlethe snowfall. g -*?& ^sS Commuters are encouraged
toattend the next commuter forummeeting scheduled on February22, in
203 Main. F * * F & * .
! "If you think education is ex- -pensive, try ignorance." ^This
may be the theme of Mer-cyhurst's own campaign againstproposed
federal budget cuts af-;fecting education. In a summaryof his
recent trip to Washington todiscuss these outs, represen-tative
Bruce Miller said simply,'Things look very bad."The trip was an
effort to joinwith other college governmentsin protesting
Congress's propos-ed measures. As a result, theMercyhurst student
governmentis looking for ways to pressurerepresenta t ives "ana
otherlegislators into veoting the cut-backs. March 1 has been
namedthe official "Student LobbyingDay" but MSG president
RichLanzillo feels that action can betaken immediately. 'Talk to
peo-ple;. . . if you don't doanythingabout it, we 11 a ll find out
ina cou-ple of years what it is like not tobe able to go to achooL"
f K'\ Lanzillo urges students to writepersonal letters to their
represen-tatives asking that the measuresnot be*adopted.*Parents of
stu-dent can also help in the effortwith their correspondence.
Hj
jb As the student governmendiscussed cute nationwide, Commuter
representative Tim Berniproposed another reduction. Hsubmitted a
motion asking thathe price of commuter parkinpermits he reduced
from the prsent* $10. Bernik stated thabecause commuters don't use
thlots asfrequentlyas residents, - is unfair to charge both the
sam- price. However, he feels the feetoo high fo r bom groups, in
vieof the larg e amounts a lrea dy bing collected for parking
violations. Themotion, which camea result of the recent

Merciad:
An Open Selection ProcessNow is the time for all
potentialstudent leaders to considerwhether they would lik e o try
fora position in the Mercy hurst com-munity. Places will be opening
inleadership areas such as studentgovernment} the senate, a
varie-ty of clubs and organizations, andof course, The Merciad.
\P-. fThe selection process fornewspaper editor, however, dif-fers
slightly from other leader-ship positions because the stu-dent is
not elected to the post.Neither ca n the' student be ar-bitrarily
appointed by any oneperson. Instead, a selection com-mittee
interviews applicants onthe basis of merit and a majorityvote
decides who will be the nexteditor.^ B -* | 3*9?ivfThe individuals
on the commit-tee, (i.e. academic dean, directorof student affairs,
studentgovernment president, as well asthe editor-in-chief and
newspaperadvisor from the just completedyear) represent a diverse
checkand balance system. The studentgovernment president
representsthe student body while toe deanand student affairs*)
directorrepresent the administration. Asfor the past
editor-in-chief and'advisor, who knows better which
Letter
students have demonstratedcompetent and consistent abilityduring
the year? The decisionmaking process of these five peo-ple maint
ains the concept of openselection on a free student press.And The
Merciad is a studentpress. This student newspaper isnot under the
auspices of any col-lege department. And while th ecollege provides
a basic budgetfor the paper, it belongs to thepaper and is not part
of thegeneral fund (as is the case ofother area college papers).
Thesetwo factors go a long way inestablishing a responsible
stu-dent paper free from fear of cen-sorship. They also create a
de-mand for a reliable student,leader. Hence, th e selectioncom
mittee, j g B*Hvj> : fjlAt this time, no appointmentshave been
made. Indeed, no deci-sion could have been legitim atelyconsidered
according to the pro-cedures employed to keep thenewspaper at
Mercyhurst a freestudent press, j p i |t The opportunity to apply
for theposition is w ide open. Anyone oncampus is eligible to seek
aleadership role in the Mercyhurststudent publication, ancP

%-?a FEBRUARY 12,1982 PAGThe Shroud Of Turin
'. By George Garrelts. -. Philosophy & Religious Studies
One of the relics of the Chris-tian past which continues to
cap-ture our religious imagination isthe picture of Jesus imprinted
onwhat is called the Shroud of Turinor The Holy Shroud. v v>
People are attracted to thes strength of the face visible onthat
cloth and interested by suchlitems of information as the
in-dication that the*nails weredriven through holes in the w ristsf
rather than in the middle of thehand, and {similar details. It* -
would seem from the continuing3 interest in the Shroud that
peopleJ! prefer to think of Jesus as manly,^rugged, and the Shroud
image8 fits that concept many peoplep have or would like to
have.Recently there have been newsitems (January 28..January29 . .
. Erie Times) featuring thework of special interest groupswho have
devoted themselves topromoting the historicity of theShroud. They
have been trying toshow that since the Shroud con-tains an image
which | is sodesirable that it therefore must
have been , the cloth in JwhichJesus was actually wrappedwhen he
was buried and the im-age on it was produced by sometype of
vaporization. ?1HEThese supporters of thehistoricity of the Shroud
havebeen busy recently showing thatthe gap between. 1358 (when
theShroud first aflpearsr in Troyes. France) and 30 Ajj. (the date
ofbe bridged. Even though mere isno historical record of the
Shroudbetween 30 A.D. and 1358 A.D.these supporters^ are

The best account I can find ofthe Shroud and its history is
con-tained in the 1st edition of theCatholic Encyclopedia, 1912
edi-tion. Its author is HerbertThurston, well known Jesuithistorian
of religious phenomena.I recommend this account to youas a superb
and balanced piece ofwriting about religion., In that article,
Fathe r Thurstontells us, by way of describing theShroud, thatThis
relic though blackened byage bears the faint but distinctimpress of
a human form bothback and front. The cloth is about13M> feet
long and 4V4 feet wide.(Catholic En cyclopedia, 1912 edi-tion, p.
726). This is the cloth th atis now at Turin. When it came on-to
the historical scene at Troyes,France, there were other clothsor
shrouds "similarly impressedwith the figure of Jesus," accor-ding
to Father* Thurs ton,"notably those of Besancon, Cau-doin,-
Champeigne, ] Xabregas,etc., which also claimed to be theauthentic
linen sindon providedby Joseph of Arimathea in theGospel account of
? the* deathburial of Jesus, (op cit p 726).These relics are no
longer men-tioned by the public press or bythe special interest
groups pro-moting the Shroud. I think itwould be interesting and
impor-tant to discover, so far as this ispossible, the fate of
these clothsand their present condition. fH ^fc T,he JShrond Sof
Turing wasphotographed in 1898 anda sensa-tion was caused by the
discoverythat the '.'image upon the linenwas*apparently*?a
negative-inother works the photographicnegative taken from this
offereda more recognizable picture of ahuman face than the cloth
itselfor any positive print," accordingto Father Thurston. This
condi-tion of photographic negative isoften mentioned but it is not
clearto me or to Father Thurston justwhat all this means, A
.&The claim has also been madeby a French physician that
theShroud contains an image, a"vaporigraph" fcaused by
theradiations of ammonia from thesurface of the bodv of Jesus
afterhis death. It is also not clear what?such a claim means, since
thereis some evidence that the Shroudwas regarded to be a
picturewhen it was in the possession of
the Bishop of Troyes.At that time, according toFather Thurston
and accordingto reliable historical evidence,Pope Clement VII and
the Bishopof Troyes required that the priestdisplaying the garment
shoulddeclare in a loud voice that it wasnot the real shroud of
Jesus, butonly a picture made to representit, (ibid p 763).
Fifteenth and six-teenth century views, FatherThurston also points
out, spoke ofthe Shroud and and its colorationas so vivid "that the
blood seem-ed freshly shed." Thurston for-mulates the situation
with theShroud then to be as follows:On the supposition that this
is --an authentic relic dating from theyear A.D. 30, why should it
haveretained its brillance through ..countless centuries, and then
infour cen turies more have become*almost invisible? On the
otherhand if it be a fabrication of thefourteenth of fifteenth
century Incarnation and the Passion andDeath of Jesus. To be
over-concerned about their liberaliza-tion or historicization is
not in thebest interests of spiritual maturi-ty and growth, in my
estimation. --Their importance lies in their 4power to remind usof
the g!mysteries of Faith, jju jjtThe, cu rrent press notices
aboutthe attempts to bridge the gapbetween" the discovery of the
MShroud in 1359 and-the- death-ofJesus by making
comparisons.between t he Shroud andcoins/icons of the 5th and 6th
Cen-turies seem odd if not bizarre.How can such resemblances,
realor imagined, add any credence tothe]historicity of the shroud
asthe actual cloth which was placedover Jesus at the time of
Hisdeath and burial?U Why; risk discredition of thewhole enterprise
and the reputa-tion of the Shroud itself as aplausible and
satisfying image ofJesus for the sake of such flimsyevidence? The
current passion of'facts' seems to outstrip our con-temporary
interest in mysteryand meaning, a ^situationr e l i g i o n i s t s

by Patricia Mc Cormack, ' *UPI Education Editor'^Move over,
preppies. Herecome the ' \ruggies. ;. *.The words come from
FrankPersico, dean of students atC a t h o l i c U n i v e r s i t
y i nWashington, D.C., to describe anew type student emerging
oncollege campus.,Persico and hisassociate dean, James Brooks,claim
to have identified the newspecies. , ^ -;4Ruggies |wear their
collarsdown, hate shirts bearing statusanimal symbols, prefer
rimlessor wire-rim glasses, wear non-designer jeans or* cords, w
earathletic shoes with' socks, stash amodest wallet in backpack,
favoran open smile, don't considerovershirt or jacket a mustv
forcampus wear. ?. m . 3Persico and Brooks claim"niggles" can be
identified otherways, i *lj ^* jfth The new-breed, they say,
ischaracterized by mental rug-gedness, on one hand, and a
non-extremism, on the other Theyare both career-oriented and
con-cerned about upholding socialjustice, F ^ j* t 1"In essence,
today's collegestudents have been able to benefitfrom the successes
and failuresof their counterparts of the lasttwo decades, and have
adoptedwhat (hey view as being the bestof both, he said. They are,
inother words, a synthesis of hippieand preppie. X 3f *5 ?A little
history about campustype s ! - ^ j ^The late 60's spawned
hippies,many of whom fought for socialand political causes.
*_*%The-late 70's bred preppies,known for their concern for im-age,
self and caree r success.Perisco and Brooks claim theruggie's
non-extremism?comesout in attitudes in'a number of
areas outside of academics.Examples:Ruggies realize material
lux-uries are not the be-all and end-all. "Today's students are
sayingthere are other things, too. Theyare beginning to ask again
howthey can better society."Students still feel the need toescape
but they're not choosinghard drugs.'.' Persico says rug-gies are
more informed about thedangers of drugs and are payingheed to that
information. Theysteer clear of hard drugs due tothe danger of
damage to careersuccess. r * ' Lr'.-%Ruggies borrow some aspects.of
sexual attitudes of students ofthe last two "decades and
rejectothers in favor of a syntheses oftheir own. "The onus of not
beingmarried seems not to exist inpremarital sexual relation-ships
," saysr Persico. "Butnonetheless students want to feelsome kind of
long-term emotionalcommitment to each other. Thecasual one-night
stand is not com-mon among today's students."Ruggies, unlike
preppies, donot narrow in on someone to"marry right." Ruggies go
for in-formal dating. Groups of ruggiecouples go out together.
Socialmixing in groups is big. KRuggies enjoy dressing formal-ly a
few times a y ear. Homecom-ing. Once -or twice a y ear for
bigdances. ^3S lp5 -US?^Ruggies f a r e very fa warepolitically, a
part of their mentalruggedness. They try to makesure they have an
objective viewof things, "Persico said. The rug-gie would neither
advocatedestroying the system , nordeclare it infallible. Ruggies
optfor working within the systemand changing things when thereis a
need. ?iRRuggies are students in transi-tion. Brooks said.
"Students areconcerned about getting good
grades so they can get a good jobbut their attitudes are not
totallyconfined to a me-first approach.It is likely they will
volunteersome of the tim e.'' ^SfeSji-? Persico said ruggies want
the
status of being successful incareers but, if heading for such
acareer makes them hate whatthey are doing, they'll opt for achange
to a profession wherethey can find more happiness. -^

After last week's big buildup onthe Gannon gam e, I feel
obligatedto express my opinions on theperformances, not- only in
theGannon game, but in the Edin-boro gam e as well, \< -In the
Gannon game there isn'treally much for" anyone tocriticize. The
Lakers playedwithas much intensity as I've everseen. I honestly
thought we wouldget blown out but much to my sur-prise, Coach
Kalbaugh hadmotivated his team to play one oftheir-best games this
season. Iknow that For many games I'vesaid that the 'Hurst played
one oftheir best games ever but anyonewho saw the game must
agreewith the fact that both of therivals turned out
memorableperformances.The problem that I have is withthe Edinboro
game. The teamstill appeared to be riding high inthe wake of their
Gannon perfor-mance and came out and playedwell for the first 39
minutes. Theproblem fell in the last minute, aswith only a point
separating theteams, the Lakers fell victim tofreshmen mistakes.
While JohnGreen has exhibited spectacularplay, so far tins season,
his' discipline has been questionable.An example of this is his
last shotagainst Edinboro. With 30seconds there was plenty of
time,and, there was no rush to shoot.ed to force a shot and the
resultwas the loss of possession.Likewise freshman Coffield
alsothrew up a bomb seconds later.'While I m ight not be the
greatestauthority on strategy in the gameI think we could have
taken bet-ter shots, i v |In conclusion in my opinion o urteam has
obvious talent. The onlyproblem, inmy opinion is the lackof
patience and discipline on thepart of some players. Cure
theseproblems and the 'Hurst will onceagain be winners. .',{-;

winning streakto Buffalo last Thursday as theyprepared to tangle
with the LadyBengals of Buffalo State. In atrue display of teamwork
theLakers put three players in dou-ble figures. The team

Sandy Tate had a greatgame also as she added 18 pointsand recorded
16 rebounds. TriciaMahoney tossed in 14 points forthe 'Hurst. Candy
Hoover led theLakers in assists with seven,while Bea Tomczak
distributedfive assists and produced fivesteals. * *f fLast
Saturday against rivalGannon, in front of their biggestaudience of
the year, theWomen's team disappointed thejcrowd, as well as
themselves, byplaying their poorestgame of theyear. The Lady Lakers
couldn'tfind the hoop! and the score il-lustrated it. Mercyhurst
shot anunbelievably low 19 per cent fromthe field and .31 per cent
(5/16)from the charity stripe in the firsthalf; as theyfell behind
19-34.Things got worse as the gameprogressed. The Blue and
Greensimply;fell apart, losing 75-51.Bea Tomczak was the lone
brightspot for the Lakers, she finishedwith 17 points. G? " The
women's team redeemedthemselves Monday evening asthey were the host
to BehrehdCollege. T hey won this high scor-
ing affair, 86-78. In a completeturnaround jjfrom the J
Gannon'fiasco, ^the ,'Hurst opened thegame by shooting an
astounding65 per cent. (They finished thehalf'with a 56 per cent
field goalshooting percetage and 77.7 per!cent from the foul line.)
The LadyLakers had 5* team members;finish the game scoring in
double'figures. Kolaja led^the scoringwith 21 points and she also
had 13rebounds. The supporting cast ofSandy Tate,
Mary-Fatigati,Tricia* Mahoney, and', Joan*Podolinski turned in
superiorscoring efforts as they produced14, 13 , 12jand 10

L a k e r s Fal l ToLocal Rivals- * *
The Mercyhurst Lakers ex-perienced two heartbreakinglosses last
week dropping deci-sions to local rivals Gannon andEdinboro.Against
Gannon, the Knightsavenged last ye ar's one point lossby turning
back a determinedLaker team 86-84. The game wasan action packed
thriller as bothteams battled non-stop for the en-tire 40 minutes.
Ex-Mercyhurstmentor Dick Fox relied onfreshman sensat ion
ButchWarner as he poured in 18 firsthalf points to give Gannon
thehalftime lead. Determined not tofold under W arner's
hotshooting,Mercyhurst's Rodney Coffieldcountered with some
fineshooting of his own to pump in 13first half points.The second
half got even hotterthan the first as both teams wereassessed
technical fouls and thegame pace became torrid.Warner continued on
his tear forGannon while freshman JohnGreen caught fire and dumped
in19 second half points for the'Hurst. The game ended with
theLakers battling back, trying tocut Gannon's small lead in
thefinal seconds. The attempt fellshort as the Lakers ran out
oftime and Gannon stole the two-point victory. 'Everyone who saw
the gamehad to have been touched by theintensity of the rivalry
