    VTake The Challenge:Be A Campus Leader

    An opportunity to be a Mercyhurst Student Governmentcampus leader has arrived! ITh e 1984-85 MSG officer and the departmental represen-tative elections are fast approach ing. Letters of intent for of-ficer candidacy are due by Monday, March 5, with electionsbeing held on March 28 and 29. All Mercyhurst students arepermitted to vote in the election.To qualify for a department rep,'letters of intent must besubmitted by April 9. Elections will; take place o n April 17and 18. Students are only permitted to run for a positionwithin their major, and students only vote for a representativewithin their department.To become a government officer or representative, can-didates are elected by college peers as a whole and departmen-tal^, respectively. Those elected then help to manage the ac-tivities and concerns of the student body.In the March 23 issue of The Merciad, the officer can-didates letters and platforms will be presented to explain theirindividual views and opinions in relation to the office they arep* seeking.Leadership, organization, motivation, experience, dedica-tion, talent, and interpersonal communication skills are allqualities that ^officers and representatives as well shouldpossess.The officer co re elected will represent the Mercyhurst stu-dent body in many facets. Student government officers andrepresentatives in the past hav e made decisions concerning thevideo room, remodeling of the Student Union, constitutionalrevisions, and the decision; to discontinue the MercyhurstPraeterita yearbook. The list of MSG responsibilities anddecisions are numerous.Being a leader figure on any college campus provides;'avaluable and testing experience'for any student. A leader isdefined as, "a person who has commanding authority or in-fluence ". Does it sound intriguing? If so , run for office in theupcoming election.

    iCulture ShockBy Laura RubyWith all the tensions of a nineweek term building up, my room-mate and I decided we neededhamental health break. And whatbetter place to take a break thanMadison, Wisconsin? WhyMadison you ask? Well, neitherof us had been out West beforeand we had friends there whichmeant a place to stay.It was a long 12 hour stretch tothe Capitol of Wisconsin. We ex-perienced the smog in Cleveland,Ohio, the farmlands of Indiana,the skyline of Chicago, and anaimless drive through Milwaukeeafter taking a wrong exit. Afterpis, all went well as we enteredthe last 2 hour stretch. At approx-imately 1:00 a.m. (12:00 our time)we landed in the booming town ofMadison, Wisconsin. Headingtowards one of the largest capitolbuildings in the nation, we com-pleted our destination and parked

    the car at 420 Russell Walk. ACombination of over-exhaustionand a spooky neighborhood caus-ed us to skip the welcomingpranks we had planned to play onour friends.We obnoxiously entered thehome of 7 male University ofWisconsin students and wentthrough the introductions andusual chit-chat. Tired as we were,we fcit little guilt after kicking afew of them out of their beds,leaving one to sleep on the pooltable (that must have been a"racking" experience). Wealmost received adequate rest forthe next dayAour "BIG TOUR",which turned out to be CultureShock! ; * Compared to Mercyhurst Col-lege, the University of Wisconsinseemed comparable to New YorkCity. Overwhelmed by everythingfrom dress to campus size, wecontinued our tour. "Because wecouldn't decide which of the 45libraries we wanted to see, weskipped the idea completely. Wedropped in on a human sexuality

    class for five minutes and quicklydropped out when we realizedthere was standing room only inthe lecture hall. Then our tourguide, being the kind person he is,took us for a long walk aroung thecampus in frost-biting conditions.IWe by-passed a campus cow-pasture, a miniature 3-riversstadium, and a million peoplewho we referred to as "jean-jacket clones. *'Being a communications major,I was interested in seeing theircommunications department. Wefound and entered the nine storybuilding and were guided on atour by a friendly student. It wasin one word, astounding. I had anuncontrollable urge to makemyself at home when I saw themassive studios, the enormous3-gun cameras, the elaborate con-trol rooms, and the intricatedesign and editing rooms. I felt asthough I just re-entered the worldfrom my mother's womb.Our tour quickly ended whenwe realized our skin was numbfrom the cold and we had very lit-tle bodily functions left. We thenheaded towards oor home awayfrom home. I guess every place ofdwelling has its little* r ules thathave to be followed in order tosurvive. This house was no excep-tion. After fighting our waythrough little water pressure, ashower that shuts off periodically,and a house concerned with sav-ing money on the heating bills, weprepared ourselves for a night onthe town/first stop, The FIOIFraternity. ']This particular Frat had morethan enough room to house 70Fraternity Brothers without runn-ing into each other. We partied tothe sounds of "The Rebels" andthe only way to fit in was to "slamdance," so we did. Heat exhaus-tion drove us out of the;FIOIhoose and after experiencing acouple more parties of the samesort, we headed home.The next night of entertainment

    proved to be very interesting. Weunderwent whatj was called a"CO -OP." To explain it from mypoint of view, this particular Co-Op seemed like a commune whosemembers had a cause of somesort. The cause I'm not quite sureof, but the inhabitants weredefinitely on another level of com-munication than I was. They werevery down to earth natural peoplewho seemed to live only for thenext day. They were very friendlyand accepting people, yet at thesame time very different fromanyone I have ever come in con-tact. My conversation'with themconsisted of inquiring where thebathroom was located.

    Experiencing another lifestylelike this was very enjoyable andeducational. When you live in*acertain area long enough, goingthrough the same routine (dayafter day, you forget that suchdiversity exists. Being the in-decisive females that my room-mate and I are, we overpacked forthis trip. However, after experien-cing M adison Wisconsin, iwerealized that \ there were a fewthings we forgot. The next timewe head out west, we'll know tobring f our jean jackets, lots ofchange for the never-ending tollbooths, an electric blanket, and alot of objectivity.< And so our hedonistic weekendcame to an end. A s we drove intoErie on 90 East, we heard the oldfamiliar sounds of K104/the firstand only time it was "music toour ears. ti

    Sugar Ray: IWorth Losing An Eye?by Antoinne ThompsonThere are manys people whobelieve that boxing championSugar Ray Leonard should re-

    enter the boxing worlds Theirreasons for such a move includesuch ideas as he was once one ofthe greatest fighters to box pro fes-sionally, and he is still relativelyyoung, (us youth enables him tofight, without having to spendlong periods of time getting backinto shape.In addition, the televisionmedia has suffered greatly fromLeonard's retirement, and withhim entering the ring once again,he brings back to television notonly a large, audience, but alsohigh ratings.Though there are people whobelieve that Leonard should .re-enter the ring, there are also thosewho believe he should stay inretirement. I am one of thosebelievers and have many reasonsto justify m y position.The strongest-reason why heshould not re-enter the boxingworld is due to the condition ofthe retina in his eye, During oneof his previous fights, Leonard'sretina detached from his eye andhad to be be surgically repaired. Ifhe began boxing again, thechances of Leonard's injuring--itare very high, the result beingblindness.Another reason why he should

    stay retired is due to his public image. When Leonard retired, hwas world champion in h is weighdivision with three belt titles. If hfights again and loses, his publiimage would be one of disappointment , ,rather t h achampionship.* In addition, his image would bshattered due to the fact that he

    .

    Antoinne Thompsongoing back on his word. Leonarsaid he would never return to thboxing world again. If he doreturn, many fans will view him being a liar.Overall, there are many reasonfor both arguments, but it is mpersonal opinion that the reasontor him to stay retired outweigthose for him to return.The big $question: Is it worlosing an eye?

    Seen Political And Academic worlds JBy Fran MoaveroThe academic institution andthe political scene are twoj dif-ferent scopes understood by oneman. j

    The life of a politician does en-tail ma king fa better life for hisconstituents. Gary Bukowskistrives to please his people as a ci-ty councilman for the second andfifth wards of Erie.As the Director of AlumniRelations and-Annual Giving atthe College, he strives to keep thealumni aware of the happenings attheir alma mater. tBukowski is a mobile in-dividual. He assumes his respon-sibility as an administrator as wellas meets the needs of his people asa councilman. '* ? IStudents at the college may notknow Bukowski the councilman,but many students have come toknow him through the *annualPhonathon conducted every yearin February.Bukowski believes reaching outto the alumni through a phone calladds a personal dimension to thefund raising project.Throughout the four yearsBukowski has conducted thePhonathon.he continues to pro-ject enthusiasm and new ideas to

    <

    make the current year more suc-cessful than the last."Money does help an institu-tion grow,*' Bukowski said.Without money, we would nothave chairs, books or newfacilities, but there are otherreasons why I conduct thePhonathon. I have a real devotionto see Mercyhurst move forwardand I'd like to do everythingpossible." *The dual position as an ad-ministrator and city councilmanhas not strained or threatenedeither of his responsibilities.wHis job as Director of Alumniand Annual giving requires 40hours a week but his politicalduties are on a part time basis andtherefore'does not conflict withhis daily schedule.!"However, he did stress a timeperiod which demands a littlemore of himself to his part timejob. As a member of the councils'finance committee, Bukowski

    Woversees the fiscal budget duringthe months of September thruDecember.While his job at the college re-quires more time, he said, "w ork-mgat the 'Hurst is easier than thepolitical arena. In the politicalarena you're dealing with a lot of

    College AlcoholPolicy RevisedBy Debbie HisonOn the agenda at a Senate meetingwasithe revision of the alcoholpolicy at Mercyhurst College. T hebill which was approved and pass-ed by the Campus Life Commit-tee, Senate, and the Dean, is ex-pected to be approved by thePresident.*Accordjng to Fr. ChuckSchmitt, a member of the CampusLife Committee this policy is in-tended* to clarify the state rulesmore clearly about the use ofalcohol on campus.Mercy hurst College recognizesthat the use of alcohol is part ofthe maturation process of a stu-dent.. Therefore, the college en-courages an environment in whicha student of legal age can consumeor abstain from drinking.Since the .campus includesstudents of legal age and thosenot, they are in a very difficultposition to enforce Pennsylvaniastate law s. |There fore, clarifica-tion of the policy and revisionswere proposed. IThese recommended changesreflect the college's postion ondrinking. 1) For any functionsponsored by Mercyhurst C ollege,the group sponsoring the eventwill insure that alternativebeverages (such as juice, softdrinks, etc.) are made equally

    available for those that attend. 2)For any function sponored by thecollege, or a recognized organiza-tion of the college, at which thetarget group would be primarilythose under the legal drinking age,the sponsoring group will ensurethat* no alcoholic beverages areavailable. 3) For any functionssponsored by the college or 5arecognized*1 organization of thecollege, at which individuals- oflegal age and not of legal age mayattend, the sponsoring group willensure that alternative beveragesare available. 4) Should studentbartenders be used they will be atleast 19 years of age or asophomore. While tending bar nobartender, regardless of age, willbe permitted to consume alcoholicbeverages.The affect of this policy onsocial functions at the 'Hurst willmake them more pleasant,because there's more to partyingthan getting drunk, said Fr.Chuck. Another way is just'-bymeeting new people, he added.In the end, "I think it3will behelpful, said Fr. Chuck. Othermembers of the committee in-clude, Robert Pagni, Janet Price,Edward G allagher, Tom Bonello,Michele Flasher, Maria San-tangelo, and Kathy O'Conner.

    Spring RegistrationSet For Next WeekRegistering on time , and payingthe tuition bill immediately are thetwo steps which are being enforc-ed for students during SpringTerm registration, which beginsMonday, February 27.The newly developed registra-tion policy has been strengthenedto make the system more organiz-ed and effective, according* toAcademic Dean, Dr. David D.Palmer.fr ** >Getting students properlycleared through the business of-

    fice is the goal of spring registra-tion. Students who neglect to paytheir spring bills will be issued acertified letter on March 21 in-sisting all accounts be paid.Students who fail to follow thisbilling procedure will be droppedfrom the class roster and dismiss-ed from the residence halls.Students foreseeing any com-plications! with, this procedureshould contact the Dean's officeimmediately.

    Irish And Chinese Students MayMake Mercyhurst A Melting PotBy Karen Merkle"In an effort to Increase the

    number of foreign students/' col-lege President Dr. WilliamJP.Oarvey announced the plans fortwo programs that could bringyoung people from Ireland andChina to study at Mercyhurst. fA unique ^ project tentativelytitled "The John F, KennedyScholarship Fund" is in the earlystages of formation. According toDr. Garvey, this! programr willestablish a scholarship fund frommoney generated by IrishAmericans, to cover the tuition of"able but needy" Irish studentswho want to study in America.Dr. Garvey continued!' thatrecommendations for the scholar-ships will be made by the Sistersof Mercy in Ireland, and "if wecan get it underway," Dr. Garveyhopes that four or five Irishstudents will begin at Mercyhurstnext fall. &He added that in any peak year,possibly up to 15 or 20 Irishstudents may be studying here.Dr. Garvey explained thatabout $100,000 will be needed in-itially to get the program off theground, most of this coming fromoutside sources. He stressed thatthis project will not be takingmoney away from the generalstudents' scholarship fund, as"money for our own students willbe generated by the CapitalCampaign. ' $ The money in the Irish fund willbe used primarily for tuitions. TheIrish students will take part in-awork-study program to earnmoney for ro om, board, transpor-tation, and personal expenses.

    Since the Master Plan calls formore foreign students to attendMercyhurst within the next?-fewyears, Dr. Garvey and the Boardof Trustees decided this would bea perfect opportunity to bring in aprogram that could be funded,with students whose culture andlanguage are similar enough toours that there will be little"culture shock."In addition, because the Irishplayed an important part in Mer-cyhurst's founding, "this pro-gram ysj a natural," Dr, Garveysaid, ^"We see this as a move that'sclearly in line with the school'sheritage and traditions," hecontinued,Jn order to establish the pro-gram, Dr. Garvey said the collegewill invite Ireland's Ambassadorto the United States to the campuslater this year, "tHe also explained that a possi-ble second level to the projectcould be an exchange betweenMercyhurst and an Irish school,where 'Hurst students would go toIreland to study. TThis project could be seen as analternative to Notre Dame, Dr,Garvey said, which has been themain recipient of'Irish-Americanfunding and support.On the other side of the world,the Chinese city of Zibo, Erie'ssister city of about 250,000 peo-ple, is interested in sending someof its English speaking students tos t u d y H o t e l R e s t a u r a n tManagement.During a recent visit to Erie bya delagation of Zibo's citizens,Dr., Garvey met w ith them and

    discussedA the possibility of Chinese sending some studentsMercyhurst, with their govement paying for the studenexpenses.i._ 'We're looking for ways develop our international popution," Dr. Garvey said. "good for the college."

    Although noW these two pgrams are keeping administratbusy, Dr. Garvey said that infuture, the college may lotowards Japan for students.\Meanwhile, the college comunity wilhhave to be satisfknowing that, courtesy of DGarvey and the delegates froZibo, there are six MercyhuCollege T-shirts somewhere China,? reminding us-andjthethat ties between our countrmay be stronger than ever.
