H a r r i n g t o n L e a v e s 'H u r s t t o F o c u s o n W r i t iBy Bill MelvilleFeature Editor* For many college professors,publishing works is something tobe done in spare time.^For SuHarrington, instructor of English,the desire' to write has1 taken uptime to a point w here either wri-ting or teaching must take prece-dence over the other, so this termwill be'.V Harrington's last atMercyhurst. &*

f"Last August, I began work on amasters offinearts degree n ere-ative non-fiction through corre-spondence with Goucher Collegein Baltimore. However, in the lastyear, I've discovered that I haven'thad the time to grow as a writer.The program>*demands largeblocks of uninterrupted time, andbecause of that I was putting inbetween 60 and seventy hours aweek during the fall and winterterms," H arrington said.Despite taking up so much time,Harrington said she has an essayunder consideration for publica-tion by her field's m ost respectedjournal, Creative Nonfiction. Be-cause of that, she has decided toleave Mercyhurst and focus on fin-ishing her de gree and on writing."I realized that if I improved that

much under those conditions, then1 could get that much better if I hadthe time to doit,1" Harrington said.L# We 'r e sorry torsee'her go butwe're also happy for her. She'spursuing herd ream, and 1 have alot oE^respect fof anyone whoreaches a point in life where theywant to break outof the mold," Dr.Heidi Hosey, director of the En-glishdepartmentandassociatepro-fessor of English, said.?441 think her leaving is a great lossto the English department. She's avery fiery and gutsy lady, and I'IImiss her," Dr. Kenneth Schiff,associ ate profes sorofEn gl ish, said.For herfinal1project of the de-gree, Harrington will wri te a mem-oir, which will focus on the eightyears she spent with a fundamen-talist cult. She said she hopes herexperience with the cult mightprove insightful to others.Harrington graduated from Mer-cyhurst in 1989 with a bachelor'sdegree in English and a creativewriting minor. Although she wasoffered a teacher'sassistantship inthe Ph.D. program at BowlingGreen University, she chose toearn a master's degree in Englishfrom Gannon University in 1991.For the last 7 years,'Harringtonhas been a full time faculty mem -

ber, teaching writing courses andWestern, British, and AmericanClassics. *f *

The-fMercyhurst Laker golfteam is gearing up for an excit-ing spring season. Unfortu-nately, the weather has not per-mitted ample practice time forthe nine-man squad. Coach JoePodolsky said, "I'm going tohave to rely on the guys to gettheir game in short order.1'The Lakers had a successfulfall season with two first andtwo second placefinishes.Th eopener Was at the EdinboroUniversity Shootout Finishingnine out of fourteen with a score

of 326, the team knew warming upwould be an issue for the 1997 Golfteam. \ Brandon Stevenson earnedthe rank of number four that tour-nament with the team low of 74.After placing first in the nine-teamtournament at Pitt-Bradford, theLakers were back on track, takingtwo second place wins in a row afterthe defining match Curry Huskeswas the man up front for all threematches, scoring the lowest for theLakers.Podolsky said, "One of the high-lights of this season was having ourown tournament at Lawrence ParkGolf Cou rse." The Lakers tookthird place in front of a large home

crowd.ThePitt-Greensburg match camenext with an exceptional firstplace finish, which defined thepinnacle of the season. Althoughthis coursewas particularly tough

one, the Lakers were again able topull through as champions.The final matches of the seasoncame as a disappointment to theteam's expectations. They fin-ished eight out of 11 at theSaginaw Valley State Golf tour-nament and 12 out of 18 at theAllegheny College Invitational.Although the golfers' matchschedule looks more likea "thingsto do on the weekend" list, the

Lakers have grown accustomedto giving up entire weekends dur-ing the season. Golf is normallythought of as an individualisticsport, however the tight scheduleseems to give the team a sense of.spirit in overcoming adversity. Italso keeps the golf clubs warm.Huskes said, "It's easy to get in agood groove and play that waywhen you're playing a couple oftournaments in a row."

Misfortune seems to be plagu-ing the team for the up-comingspring season, with the loss offreshman John Gatos. HoweverJunior Nate Adams is returningand will prove to be a valuable

asset to the squad. SoTom McKinnon said, "Wdecent fall season witdrawback s, but as the sson approaches we are vmistic in our capabilitieviduals, but more impora team." Coach Podols"We have high hopes. Hsome of the new guys wchance. We play mortournaments next fall. Iested in developing sofor the team because weing a lot."

who* also pitched the game. TheLakers went into the ninth inningwith a five-run lead and SlipperyRock put on a late come back. Butthanks to some fine defense, theLakers were able to defend theirlead.'The weather was very bad andthis made it difficult for both pitch-ers; We started off w ell and took anearly lead.
