S u r v e y S h o w s S t u d e n t s Prefer Option EThe Merciad recently polled astratified sampling of the Mer-cyhurst student community tolearn the favorite choices of theproposed calendar options. A pro-portionate .number of males,f emales , commut ers , andresidents were questioned on theissue. The student preferencereflected the faculty opinion inthat both chose E as their mostdesired option. *Option E, which is most like thepresent calendar, was preferredbecause of this similarity. Thisproposal involves three terms, afive-day week, with four coursesone term and three the otherterms. Over half of the students

polled, 51 per cent, believe thatOntion E would be the most suc-cessful choice.'^> i * jffiStudents do not like the idea ofhaving Wednesdays off andwould rather keep the three termschedule rather than the propos-ed semester options. Mary Bird,a resident student, stated, "Hav-ing Wednesday off would disruptmy week." 5 SOther students agreed that Op-tion E is the most practical for in-ternships and laboratory courses,and would also allow the studentto concentrate on fewer classes atone time. J -*3Option D which gained an 18per cent preference proposes

terms, 50 minute classes, fourcourses one term and three theother terms, and no Wednesdayclasses. A four-day week and 50minute classes are the most ap-pealing aspects of this option ac-cording to students. Resident stu-dent Mike 2Even remarked,''Wednesday off would allow meto prepare for Thursday and Fri-day's classes." ?*2 #g *,-Option B, two semster s, a four-day week, 60 minute classes, andfour courses \ each semester,received 12 per cent of the stu-dent' opinion. An anonymousmale commuter stated that tak-ing eight classes per year ratherthan the present 10, ."would result

in paying less money for books."fi Options A and C each receivedseven per cent!? of studentpreference. Option A advocatesthree terms, a four-day week,and 70 minute classes, while Cproposes two semesters a five-day week, 65 minute classes, andfive courses each J semester. Afemale commuter preferred Op-tion A because she feels, "there isa lack of continuity when classesmeet only onI Tuesdays andThursdays". j ^ &J & 39 A male and a female commuteragreed on -j Option C as theirfavorite because it is most likethat of other colleges and would,consequently, be easier to cross

register. aOnly five per cent of students polled chose optionthe'.. present calendar, as ltfavorite. Freshmen Communitions major. Mary Jo Allen, comented that she cam e to Merhurst "for the sole purpose oftercession." Intercessioneliminated in calendar Optionthrouth E.Most of the students who chE for next year's calendar lthe present calendar but reathat Intercession is really viable. Option E would still alstudents to take ten courses aprovide the variety of a fiveweek.

The1981-82 academic year under thiscalendar will begin September 8and end on May 21.*l One: disadvantage mentioned

about option E was the two weekChristmas break occurring afterthe first three weeks of Winterterm.

C'mgPHBl jJSJj^ For a long time afterwards,some of the Sisters nervouslyreported that they kept hearingnoises and sighs in the FourthFloor of Old Main and especiallyin the Tower. Then one night, anolder Sister entered the Chapel tosay some prayers before retiring.As she walked in, she noticed thata Sister was sitting up front of theChapel because the Sister lookedstrange from the back, but as sheapproached, the person suddenlyseemed to disappear. .Only* aweird, strong odor remained.When the Sister told this story toth e other* Sisters, she a wasdismissed as being a bit senile.But few went; to the Chapelanymore late at night. j E I

A few y ears ago, a MercyhurstSenior, who was engaged becamefascinated with the story.Because her boyfriend was com-ing to visit her at M ercyhurst thenext day, she decided to take thering from the Infant and wear itherself to surprise the boy -^ff iBThe next/day, while she waswearing the ring, the phone rang,it was the boy's parents, who toldher that he had been killed in anunusual type of automobile acci-dent. The horrified girl blamedhis death on the ring and quicklytook it back to the Chapel. Soonafter, she left the college but thestory persisted, that the.ring wascursed and the Chapel and Towerwere haunted.:To stop the stories, the Ad-ministration removed the ring afew y ears ago and placed it in abox somewhere in the Queen'sChapel. "Although the ring wasgone, students continue to makestrange reports of weird lights inthe Queen's Chapel as if theSister was looking for the ring,and strange sounds, like groans,around the Tower late at n ightReal or notthe legend con-tinues to grow. While the Ad-ministration continues to dismissthe whole matter, there are fewpeople brave enough to visit theChapel area late at night;- in-cluding the Administration. $

OCTOBER 31,1980 THE MERCIAD PAGgends A t T h e 'History OfThe! VaultEditor's Note: The following information is also reprintedfrom MERCYHURST COLLEGE-THE FIRST DECADE.

In 1932, Mr. and M rs Jam es O'Neil had decided to finance thebuilding of a chapel at Mercyhurst. M r. O'Neil was motivated tofund the cha pel because he had two sisters who belonged to theMercy order, Sister M. Regis and Mother M Xavier. j 5 8Ground was broken in October of I932and as construction wascompleted in \1933, Mrs. O'Neil decided she would'like a"Queen's Chapel" to be built. This chapel was an exact replicaof a chapel that Mrs. O'Neil had seen in England which had im-pressed her greatly. Mrs. O'Neil wanted this chapel to be aburial vault for herself and h er family. She stated in her will thatif she died in the United States, she was to be buried at Mer-cyhurst in the "Que en's Chapel" and her husban d's body was tobe brought from France to rest beside hers. In addition, Mrs.O'Neil's two sisters-in-law, Sister Regis and Mother Xavier,were also to be buried in the Chapel. jmgThe four Chapel vaults have never been used. Since Mrs.O'Neil died in France, and not in the United States, she wasburied next to her husband in the church "Notre Dame desPins" at Cannes, France, where she and her husband still rest.Sister Regis and M other Xavier preferred to be buried with theother sisters in Saint Catherine's Cemetery in Titusville, andthat is where they nowirepose. Over the years, the beautifulQueen's Chapel has increasingly become the subject of ghoststories that tell of the restless souls of the O'Neil's still seekingto return to America and to Mercyhurst.

Th r^rmderarg WftldwWhy did Dr. Garvey change thedouble doors at the back of thePresident's office? Some saybecause the bugs were creepingin and Garv ey did not want his of-fice bugged; after all, a "Mer-cyga te" fiasco would not help thenew administration. Others sa ythat the back door system is thebest way of getting things done atthe top level. But, rumors havecrept into the Merciad office sug-gesting that the new Presidenthas more serious motives for therenovation of the doors.Many years ago, while Garvey

was a mer e twinkle in his father'seye, the Presid ent's office used tobe a viewing rooman areawhere last resp ects could be paidto the deceased. After funeralservices in the chapel, a funeralcar would ordinarily remove thebody through the back door andtake it away for burial or crema-tion. However, on one Januaryoccasion, the snowfall was sosevere that the funeral contrac-tors could not get to the 'Hurstand so the body of a young widowremained overnight, defying thegrief ridden schedule of a verydistraught rural family.%

T h e ! G r e e nIn the late 1960's, a female stu-dent learned of the story of thesupposedly cursed ring on thefingers of the "Infant of Prague"

statue. She didn't believe thecurse actually existed and par-ticipated in a dare with some ofher friends. -One 'n ight sheentered the Chapel and stole thering from the statue's finger. Shereturned to her room in BaldwinHall and placed the stolen ring onher dresser. S I f ?521 The nexUday the girl's roomb e c a m e filled with an oddgreenish fog. People who wereasked tofassess the situationblamed the w eird phenomenon onthe radiator. The heating systemwas checked out and found to bein perfect working order. As thenext day approached, the strangefog began rolling out under thedoor. The fog was similar to the

consistency of dry ice. Along withthe appearance of the unexplain-ed fog, all the wood furniture inthe dorm room began to warp.The spot on the girl's dresserwhere the ring was placed,warped firsti and all the otherwood in the room altered itsshape shortly after.

The girl who stole the ringremarked about a feeling ofpresence in her room while thering was there. She felt as if so-meone were looking love r hershoulder at all moments whileshe was in the room. After threedays of coping5 with this eeriesituatio n, the girl felt compelledto return the ring to the statue'sfinger. Once she placed the ringon the statue, the fog subsidedand the feeling of a presencediminished && * f KJ8? f

The night was bleak, wintery,and dark as further snow settled.When morning came, the SisterSuperior came to check on theroom. She found an empty coffin,blown over by the wind which hadopened the double doors. Throughthe snow, she observed shallowinsertions that could have beenthe ghostly footprints of theformer w i d o w ^ J,To this day, no one has solvedthe mystery of the ghost in thePresident's office. Many reportshave been issued of those double

doors flying open in the calmestof conditions, and J people haveclaimed sightings ~ of a fluffyskeleton-like figure scuttlingthrough the hallowed ground ofOld Main. But, Dr. Garvey wa ntsno more of the rum or. The doorshave been screened so that noescapes can be made and theroom has been debugged.^Nexttime that you pass by our Mr.President, spare a thought forhim while he is at his desk forthere could be an unwelcome!guest sitting next to him.
