Academic Calendar
F e w C h a n g e sNo drastic changes are featured in the
proposedacademic calendar for the 1975-76 school year, nowunder
consideration by the Academic PoliciesCommittee of the College
Senate. . i lAlthough it was stressed that th e calendar
remainstentative until approved by the Academic PoliciesCom mittee,
th e following features of* the newcalendar were disclosed: 1) M
ercyhurst will remainon a 3-1-3-3 academic calendar system, with
three te nweek tri-mesters and a fifteen day Intersession. 2)
All
regular tri-mesters will run to normal length 39-40days. 3 )
Vacations will still b e placed between terms.Creation of a new
academic calendar which incorporated all of the desirab le asp ects
off the old
P r o p o s e d F o rcalendar andlstiU corresponded better to
the Villaand Gannon calendar w a s n o easy task. T h e goal
wasclear, however, that th e starting and ending times ofthe three
local\ Consortium colleges should be asnearly identical a s
possible.It was originally feared that bringing the Mercyhurst
calendar into line with those of the othercolleges would require a
Spring term of far less thanth e desired 40 class days . This
problem i s n o t evidentin the proposed calendar, although classes
will beheld on four Wednesdays in Spring term under theproposed
plan J 0 ;A s presently drawn u p , the 1975-76 school year
willbegin on September 2 and end on May 28,1976, with
breaks of eighteen, sixteen, and te n days between th
erespective term s, fr IAlso neartng completion is the Initial form
of theMercyhurst Master Calendar. The people compilingthe Master
Calendar are seeking an organizedschedule of dates and activities
involving the collegewhich is easily accessible and kept constantly
up-to-date. New and improved communications channelswill b e
created along with th e calendar, to facilitiatethe scheduling of
events, arrangem ents for facilities,and arrangements for necessary
services connectedwith the event. It has been stated that
guidelinesregarding these new channels will be issued in thenear
future. I -

p.m., Dr. CyrilWecht, Allegheny County Coroner * and a \
notedauthority on the assassination of President John F,Kennedy
will address a Mercyhurst audience o n thesubject of the Kennedy
assassination.A holder of doctoral degrees in both fields, Dr.Wecht
is-: both* a licensed doctor and a licensedlawyer, having been
educated at the University ofPittsburgh and the University of
Maryland. Since1970, he has served in th e position of coroner for
theCounty of Allegheny. Dr. Wecht makes his home inPittsburgh. .$ *
\ g %In h is work in the field of Forensic Pathology, Dr.Wecht* has
gathered information on the Kennedyassassination which leads him to
believe that theconclusions of the Warren Commission;are wrong.D r
. . Wecht particularly disputes /the Commissiorvsconclusion th at
only on e bullet w as fired a t PresidentKennedy and that same
bullet struck both Kennedyand G o v . JohnConnally/ I %'. | ;Dr. W
echt believes that the "single-bullet theory"is no longer credible.
Instead, he feels that PresidentKennedy was not only killed by two
bullets o r m ore,but that there w a s more than on e assassin
involved inthe shooting. Dr. Wecht's lecture will involve
*thepresentation of evidence in the form of pictures,reports,
and-slides to back his thesis that PresidentKennedy's assassination
w a s n o t t h e work o f o n e manon e bullet. \ JDr. Wecht's

MERCYHURST COLLEGETuition Question
MAY 2. 1975
L E T T E R F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T :Dear Students:As
you know from a story in a recent Me retad, wehad hoped to have
information to you by this timeconcerning the? tuition increase for
the 1975-76academic year. ^Unfortunately, we are unable topresent
the figure at this time, but expect to be abletodo so byMay 9.1 %
V* C &The delay us due to the fact that we are doingeverything
possible to achieve two basic goals: 1) tokeep the tuition increase
as low as is fiscally andhumanly possible, and 2) to present a
balancedbudget, which is a financial imperative. i ,i.This is being
written o n Tuesday, April 29 , so as tomeet the deadline for this
week's edition of theMerciad. Last Friday,*thei Budget and
'FinanceCommittee, \ including its 'stud ent and
facultyrepresentatives, m e t for three hours. T h e Committeewill
b e meeting again later this afternoon (Tuesday).Assuming|a
tentative budget is .approved at thattime, the suggested tuition
increase will then bemailed to each member of the Board of
Trustees.Once the Board is polled, we will announce theresults: **
p * j j ^You should know that the college budget for thisyear is
$3.5 million, which is a modest budget for aninstitution of this
size. If w e are able to limit the increase to five per cent for
this coming year, which issubstantially below the inflation rate,
it means wemust raise an additional $175,000. You should beaware
also that 87 per cent of the budget is in fixedand
non-discretionary costs such as faculty and staffsalaries and
fringe benefits, financial aid, utilities,debt service, e t c . t i
llAlso, you should know that the budget has beenscrubbed time a n d
time and time again over th e pastfew months i n a n effort to
eliminate every single centin jj expenditures that can be
eliminated withoutseriously jeopardizing th e quality of o u r
programs atthe C ollege. j * -The problem we are facing at this
moment in oureffort to balance the budget revolves around
thedramatic increases recently announced for utilities,increases
which will have a profound effect on the
D R . M . L . S H A N Ebudget. Also,{we have committed the
College to asubstantial'increase in student aid. This is an
increase which must be balanced off on the incomeside.;I You can be
assured that your president, eachmember o f h i s staff, each
member of th e Budget an dFinance Committee, and each member of the
Boardof Trustees is cognizant of the impact a tuition increase will
have on you as students. You can beassured also that each of us is
doing his-her best tokeep th e increase at the lowest possible
level.Sincerely,Marion L.ShanePresident I

Staff Editoria
C A M P U SP A R K I N Gb y D a l e M c i n t o s h
Recently this writer overheard a conversation oft w o d a y
students. They were voicing their opinions ofthe parking situation
here. I guess the biggest gripeeither of them had was the parking
in the new sidelot next to (he library. As everybody with a ca r
knowsthe hours of nine o'clock to 12 o'clock and maybe aslong as
one are the toughest to find a parking spot.The gripe this person w
as voicing was the sam e onethis writer voices today and is the
reason for thisarticle. Many times in the past tw o weeks there
hasbeen no parking available in this lot in the mornings.Many
students, myself included, have been parkingthere anyway, just
because there's no parking between the crooked yellow lines. Why do
they gettagged anyway? This question angered m e so muchthat Invent
to the Security D epartment to find someexplanations. |To begin
with, th e men responsible for this ar e WillSydow and Joe Cook Sr.
M r. Cook told m e that he hasabout fifteen work-study students
working here.About half of whom work outside in the morning,which
is quite a lot for so few parking lots. H e pointedout to me that
there are two smaller lots on thesoutheastern corner of the campus
that a re sparselyused during this time. Mr. Cook went even further
byinforming mefthatfthey do check! the parkingsituations reguarly .
I admitted being very ignorant tothis situation and after he
pointed out tha t every loton campus (with exception of behind
Preston,McAuley and vis itors in front of Main are ok to parkin, I
felt even more ignorant.I admit that when I started looking into
thissituation I did it with the intention of cutting up theparking
situatioa I h ave been proven wrong. It is afact that the
Mercyhurst parking is more thanadequate. It is also a fact that no
matter where youpark, a student h a s a much less distance to walk
thaninmost other schools.it think it's about time we las students'
quitscreaming about this and that when we have no information.
There is a time and place and most importantly a proper cause to
excerise our rights, but Iwould like to say that the Mercyhurst
parking an d thepeople w ho take care of it are exceptional.
! C L A R I F I C A T IO NIn circulating the faculty petition to
the Boardof Tru stees regarding tuition (published in lastweek's
Merciad), we w ere unable to contact allof the faculty members. It
should n o t be takenthat the absence of a faculty mem ber's name
onthe petition implies a refusal to sign it. |f IOf those faculty
members asked to sign thepetition, well over90 per cent did so . |

Due to a lack of letters to the editor and becausethis page must
be filled somehow, I'm forced to writeanother editorial column.
Now, I don't like thisanymore than you because personally, I'd
ratherprint your ideas than my o w n . After a l l , t h e ideas
andthoughts of 11,000 people are more interesting to readwhen th e
paper comes out than the ramblings of onemind. Sometimes, I'm
tempted to write letters tomyself but then again, writing letters
addressed"Dear Editor" would label m e , a
narcissisticschizophrenic which would cause m e, (not to mentionmy
mother.) to worry about myself and I would thenbe a neurotic- and
that'would drive,me crazy! Sowithout further ado, I will try to
make much adoabout nothing. (Thank y o u , BUI Shakespeare).
A s the school year draws to a close, many Mercyhurst students
look forward to a long, luxurioussumm er vacation; but for many
seniors, th e future isnot that sunshiny bright. As graduation
nears, seniorsare forced to decide "What they will be when theygrow
up ." For many, the prospects are cloudy. (Mybest friend just
landed a job as* a life-guard in a carwash a n d i s thrilled to
pieces.")It makes on e wonder if th is whole college scene isat al
l worth it . I think so . The education on e receivesin college is
not measurable by a n A or a B . A collegedegree, to my I mind,
measures not ability butstamina. If one can complete the rigors of
collegiateconformity- on e can handle the world!
Lately, in the College's political circles, the "in"words have
become ...to assume good faith."Everyone seems to be assuring
everyone that whilebargaining on anything from a new senate

Dear Editor,After eight months of reading the Merciad and
itsconstant article s on women's sports written by thosewho lack
clear insight into the matter, I find it difficult to refrain from
my comments about this anylonger. | J '% % - p \As far as I cans e
e . most of the opinions stated havebeen very stereotypical and I
see no place where theystand to judge. The last was pointed at the
women'screw (which is not a team, but a club because theschool
can't seem to find the money to support it).But please, if w e are
directing our comments to thosein particular, let us keep them in
that direction andnot extend it to all women's sp orts.

the time that I he was interviewed for his position
atMercyhurst, he jproduced adiploma, written in German,which he
asserted to be fromthe Vienna School ofPsychiatry. - He was
immediately hired. IIt w a s later learned that thediploma that Dr.
Osterliebhad shown to the interviewerw a s from th e Vienna School
ofPodiatry.Under Dr. Osterlieb, theMercyhurst PsychiatryDepartment
moved inrevolutionary new directions.The Mercyhurst
CollegeCatalogue for 1969 gave hintsto what was a - "foot" in
thepsychiatry department thatyear. A sampling of courseofferings:
Seminar onBarefoot Therapy, Plat Fee t:Their connection with
MentalIllness, Toe Counting: Key ToThe Real Self, Toesk v s .
theSuper-Ego. |The heightOsterlieb's notorietyjcame in1969 , when
he .presented hisremarkable paper: "TheRelationship
BetweenToenailGrowth I and MentalDevelopment'' to a conventionof
famous psychiatrists fromaround the world. So movedwas his audience
by hispresentation that they $allwalked out, presumably* toexamine
their toenails forhints of native intelligence.It was shortly
afterreaching the pinnacle of hissuccess that Dr. Osterlieb, in
of Dr.
an interview with the Mer-ciad, Iet|his true credentialsslip
out. In the wake of a th euproar caused by thedisclosure, Dr.
Osterliebmade a public confession inwhich he admitted that hehad
been a foot doctor allalong. H e insisted that neitherthis fact,
nor that of his fraud ,effected i the truth of histheories, which
he wouldstand b y t o the end.Because of the scandal, thecollege
had no choice but tolet D r. Osterlieb g o . In a finalmeeting with
the head of hisdivision on -the day of hisdeparture, Dr.
Osterliebexpressed his regret tohaving to i leave Mercyhurstan d
predicted that th e Mercyhurst name would be wellremembered in
connectionwith his theories. Dr.Xenophobe thanked Dr.Osterlieb, and
as a partinggesture asked him to analyzeh is corns. ^Nothing has
been heard ofDr. Osterlieb since hisdeparture, but one
jprevalentstory is that Dr. Xenophobeincreasingly pained by?
hiscorns, brought Dr. Osterliebsecretly to Mercyhurst,giving him a
new name andposition. This rumor has yetto be verified, but it is
knownthat one member !of thePsychology department hasbeen talking u

What does a successfulteam have that a poor teamdoesn't have?
Recently I'vehad many people comment onthis to me. I guess the
firstthing to look at would b e whatkind of talent does the
teamhave. Taking the Lakers'spring sports teams. I wouldsay pretty
good. But justhaving awesome talent isn'tenough; they must
havesomeonej to put this talenttogether. These two togetherpresent
an over-poweringteam. Next a team must havea good schedule. Playing
veryweak teams proves little, ifanything. I n m y judgement allour
teams have e:opponents. iThen the next questionwould be why don't
we haveall championship teams? Orat least more than the ones wehave
n o w . The reason is teamwork. Several times this yearI have
observed varioussporting events of our teams.without making a point
ofwhat team or teams I'veobserved I'm now stating that
this is no way to play. Howcan you possibly expect to winwhen
everybody's fightingamongst each other. I don'tmean a fist fight or
anythinglike that. Just everyday backstabbing^ a n d
complaining.The season Is half over andit's about time we
startedgetting it together and startwinning, I'm sure manypeople
will say tha t sports3uiIds good character a n d i t isnot whether
y o u * win or loseb u t h o w you played the game.There is a lot
of truth in thisbut let's face it, the goal ofthis college sports
program Isto win: If It isn't thansomebody tell this writer whyd o
