Merciad Responsibility Shifts To Departments

Disparity Found In Method Of Selection ProcesAs of the 1982-83 academic

school year, the MERCIAD, Mer-cyhurst'sstudent newspaper, willbecome "th e responsibility of thecommunications department"and a learning tool therein, ac-cording to Dr. David Palmer,Academic Dean of -MercyhurstCollege. i f

Mr. Richard J. Garcia, currentdirector of the communicationsdepartment, will assume 5 theposition of Advisor to the Merciadonce it is housed in its newcapacity. Garcia will replace Mr.Steve Curcio, the present A dvisorto the Merciad and co-faculty ofthe communications department.

Garcia claimed to be unawareof the Merciad's change from theDepartment of Student Servicesto the Communications Depart-ment. "To,my knowledge noplans are being mad e," he stated.

However, when speaking to hisnew appointment as advisor tothe press, Garcia likened theMERCIAD to Mercyhurst's radiostation, WMCY. & 2?

"The radio station is a lab forthe communications depart-ment,"'* he^stated, "and thenewspaper is a student paper..

Advisement is exactly that, and Iintend to work cohesively withthe staff - not in the dictatorialsense - but I intend to be quiteactive."? * * T

When asked why the switchwas made, E. William Kennedy,director of student services ex-

plained, "It seemed like the thingto do, it seemed like a logicalplace to 'house' the Merciad. Idoubt if only.communicationsmajors will work on the paper,but we would hope all journalismmajors would. In previous yearsthis has not been the case, andtha t's* what we'd hope toremedy." - }- \ ..

•*• Garcia concurred with Ken-nedy's contention that Merciadstaff positions would not berestricted to communicationsmajors' only. "I don't see it as amajors only thing," he confirm-ed, "although majors will have acompetitive edge. -^ v'•". Some disparity of comment hasarisen as to exactly what kind of"competitive edge" individualsmay possess. Although the selec-tion process for next year's Mer-ciad editor and assistant editorhas not technically begun, cer-tain steps have apparently beentaken to solidify both of thesepositions. ^ k I £•

Three students attest to thetruth of an incident which occur-red in Garcia's News writing IIclass. All three sources describedan incident where Garcia began

discussing the future of thedepartment and the MERCIADunder his direction. S w " 'jggHe claimed that he knew whonext year's editor would be, andhe proceeded to write the initialsD.P. on the blackboard, in-dicating that those were the in-

itials of the succeeding editor.The sources unanimously at-

tributed the identity to DonnaPeterson, currently the assistanteditor of the MERCIAD. Peter-son proclaims she was notunaware of the incident.

"I'm very flattered that he hasso much confidence in me,"quoted Peterson when she was

asked to give her reaction to theoccurrence, "but I don't want hispersonal selection to in any wayhinder the legitimate selectionprocess. If I am chosen editor, Iwant to feel that I have justlyearned it.". When Garcia w as questioned asto whether or not the incident ac-tually occurred, he stated "Idon't recall it, but it may be so."

Peterson admits to having beenapproached by Garcia outside ofthe classroom1 as next year'seditor. Garcia confirms that he'has spoken with Peterson on thetopic also, except that he claimshe approached her as next year'spotential editor. ^ 1- f

"We talked in generalities,"Garcia claimed, "saying if shewere editor, what kinds of thingswould she like to do." g&'&

rj£""I was the one who tried togeneralize,", quoted( Peterson,"telling * him I

: haven't beenchosen ye t But he would say, Oh,there's no question; there's nodoubt.'*

Peterson also explained that

Campus; Thefts Still Unso lvedThe thefts which have plagued

the campus within the last monthare still unsolved. No leads con-cerning the goods stolen fromvarious departments of the col-lege have been discovered. ,

Jan Gatti, director of the Stu-dent Union, stated that shebelieves nobody from the Mer-cyhurst community was involvedin ' the v theft of the beveragesystem which was stolen after the"December Belleh Valley get-together. •?&

"I don't think it was anybody atour campus,"- said Gatti. Gattihas established an unusual BelleValley? get-together to raisemoney i to^ compensate -for thebeverage system that was stolen.'

A slave day raffle will be heldat Belle Valley on February 27.Students will be able to buy a 25cents chance to win a slave, for adayt The money raised will be put

into the student activity commit-tee fund because $385 had to betaken out to pay for the beveragesystem. T" *J J

Other, stolen goods include atape recorder stolen from the

biology department valued at1250 and two devices .used tomeasure blood pressure whichwere valued at $70 each, accor-ding to Linda Lockner Williamsof the biology, department. ^

Williams reported that no leadshave been found, f -•

The lamps stolen from the col-lege foyer are also still missing."There is no news or informationconcerning the lamps," saidPhyllis Aiello, director ofhousingand safety. * \jJSr. Matthew has also reportedno leads to the break-ins of twocabinets outside the observatoryin Zurn. The padlock 3o thecabinets was broken, but nothing

was stolen, she said. | ./,Cameras were .stored in the

cabinets previous to the break-ins, but were moved when Sr.Matthew.heard of the numerousbreak-ins occurring on campus.

Fingerprints were taken by Eriepolice out have not provided alead. \l ?T

With the numerous thefts thathave occurred on campus, Aiellohas recommended to studentsthat they become more aware oftheir valuables^

"Since the end of the term iscoming u p r other students areparasites and will feed off thingslying around or in their lockedroom." •Jg §f

Students who are preparing togo home for spring term and arebeing sent money, from homeshould not spread the feet theirparents are sending them money,added A iello. «A i

G a r c i a h a d mentionedsophomore communications ma-jor, Carla Anderson, to her as apossibility for next year's assis-tant editor. Paraphrasing Gar-cia, Peterson said, "He asked mewho I had in mind for next y ear'seditor. Then he told me he hadCarla Anderson in mind." WhenAnderson was asked to speak to

Peterson's statement, she declin-ed comment.Formally, the selection process

is not scheduled to begin untilspring term. Legitimate pro-cedure for application for MER-CIAD editor involves subm ittinga letter of intent, a transcript,and three letters of recommenda-tion to the current advisor andeditor-in-chief, Steve Curcio andRebecca Martin. Interview times

will then be established by Kennedy as the Director of StudenServices.

Those serving on the selectioncommittee include the presenAdvisor to the MERCIAD, the icumbent editor, the Director ofthe communications departmentthe Director of Student Servicesand possibly the Dean, as he ha

served the committee in pasyears as the director of the Divsion of Humanities.

The selection process andmembers to the selection committee were defined by the Campus Life Committee in 1977-1978academic school year. In pasyears, applicants have also beenrequired to submit samples oftheir work and to take a grammar test. *$ - 'Y/SjA-/"

f College students keep longhours, arduous schedules, an drarely take good physical care ofthemselves. The Wholistic HealthProgram should be reconsideredto ensure that students a re menjrtally and physically fit.

If cost is a factor in adopting. the Wholistic Program, it can be

easily eliminated. Many collegesand universities charge health

College Reps UnveilNew College Budget

WASHINGTON D.C, (CPS) - Inwhat one of them' termed a"historic" gathering, represen-tatives of the largest and mostimportant college groups in theland last week met to previewwith alarm - and to politicallyap-

prise - President Ronald Reaganand the 1983 education budget hewants Congress to pass.

Representat ives of s tateschool, private universities, com-munity an d junior colleges,students;and faculty membersbitterly predicted that as manyas two million college students-will be hurt by the cuts.Thousands of them may bedriven from campus altogether.; "Deep cuts have already beenmade in appropriations for stu-dent financial aid," summarizedEd Hanley, lobbyist for the U.S.Student Association ;(USSA)."Further cuts are going to keepthousands of students from retur-ning to college this fall, andothers will never get to attend

college at all."!!? W, WThe spokespeople, solemnly

facing an audience of reportersand association staffers in aHouse committee hearing room,said th e Reagan educationbudget would effect al l federalstudent aid programs: 1?*?'S^

International StudentsSit Down With President

: f The foreign students of Mer-cyhurst (College met with Presi-

* dent William P . Garvey on Tues-day, February 16,1982. The pur-

pose of the meeting was forGarvey to pursue concerns andsuggestions of the foreignstudents, according to PierreDonyegro.

"The meet ing was very- positive," :said Donyegro, from

jHfthe Ivory Coast. "Dr. Garvey isK really concerned about foreignIt students at the school."PL At the late afternoon meeting inl~the Heritage room, HyacintneI Coulibali, also of the Ivory Coast,K acted as spokesman, . •I The! first suggestion of theI foreign students was to requestI English courses specifically forI foreign s tuden ts in theirI freshman yea r "in order to easei their integration at Mercyhurst."5 - In adMon tofthe English•* courses, the students said they1 were interested in a language

§ laboratory. The lab would be aI place to practice listening and1 speaking skills. !?J2| The language lab could also be% used by foreign business ex-i ecutives in the Erie area, propos-v ed the students. The students sug-

gested the construction of the labcould be done in conjunction withlocal businesses.

Another suggestion formulatedby the students concerned a

I foreign student adv isor. Present-ly, Sr. Elisabeth Linsten is ad-

- viaor to s o m e o f tho foreignstudents. The students proposethat Sr. Elisabeth advise allforeign students fduring; their

freshman year. v

"Sr. Elisabeth has been helpingus very much in choosing ourfreshman courses, and we find itnecessary for a good start at Mer-cyhu rst," explained Donyegro.

The foreign students also sug-gest that they be allowed to workon campus. Presently, they arenot able to work at Mercyhurstbecause of financial aid regula-tions. The students propose thatthey work on campus in order tooffset their tuition.

A change in the present vaca-tion schedule was also discussed.The students explained that theywould rather have a longerChristmas vacation and a shorterThanskgiving. This would enablethe students to more easily visittheir families at home.

The students would like to havea yearly outing using a schoolvan. This would enable the w holegroup of foreign students to visita specific p lace or city.* Another idea generated by thestudents would be the start of abig brother- big sister program.In that ? program Americanstudents would invite foreignstudents to their homes for a

Organized For Recreation of theMind, (FORM) is now recognizedon the Mercyhurst campus. ?

"The workshop was begun forpeople who enjoy doing brainteasers and thinking of problem

[solving strategies, said Dr.f Ludlow Brown, one of the 5 in-

itiators of FORM. ^ 3FORM is just a group of people

who, are . interested in certaintopics. These people are facultyas "Well as students, who gettogether for? workshops anddiscuss their opinions and ideasabout a variety of topics, explain-ed Brown. |

This year FORM has offeredthree workshops. The nextworkshop, I"Earth and Evolu-tion" begins on Tuesday, March30, at 3 p.m. in 201 Zum. Theworkshop lasts for six weeks andis free of chargeA "Earth andEvolution" features Mercyhurstfaculty members Joy Kolo, Dr|jLewis Lutton and David Thomas.

"There "are marvelous oppor-tunities for students to .get tomeet others with the same in-terests," commented Brown,

J "the faculty love it too!J* sg& I FORM will soon be in the pro-

cess of'planning and expandingthe workshops for 'next year.Anyone who wants to join FORM,or has suggestions' for newworkshops, should contact Dr.

% Brown in 233 Preston, w

short time in an effort to learnmore about the Americanculture.

"It will be a mutual exchangefor a stronger friendship and con-tact between foreign students andAmerican s tudents ," theycommented.

The final issue proposed by theforeign students was to begin anInternational House. This year,ST. Elisabeth helped to begin atownhouse for men. The studentsstated they would like an addi-tional townhouse for women.These townhouses would beavailable to American studentsas well as foreign students.

"This contact and exchangewould be a two-way communica-tion which would enrich bothA m e r i c a n s t u d e n t s a n dforeigners," said the group of'students.

Along with the students and Dr.Garvey, a numberôf ad -ministrators were also there:Steve Frisina, foreign studentcounselor; Sr. Elisabeth Linsten,foreign student advsior; Fr.Chuck Schmidt, and Hope Holbenof the Campus M inistry. '
