CIADMERCYHURST COLLEGE SEPTEMBER 15. 1972DR SHANE JBEGINS TENUREAS PRESIDENT

by Gary Dudenhoe f e r ,News Ed i t o r

The beginning of the! currentSchool year also marks thebeginning of the tenure of Dr.Marion L. Shane as President ofMercyhurst College? Dr. Shanedescribes himself as af**productof the Midwest" and brings withhim a wealth of experience as acollege administrator andeducator. |Dr. Shane cited the "dimensionbeyond the intellectual" present-at Mercyhurst^as the factorwhich contributed most to hisdecision to accept the position aspresident. "By a 'dimensionbeyond th e intellectual'?I mean adeparture from! the]*Medievalbelief that all one must do toeducate a. student is to developthe intellect." fp "We are in a new age; oldanswers do notfsatisfy today'squestions. We can no longer dobusiness in the traditional way.While recognizing fthat th eprimary function of education isthe intellectual development ofthe student, we seek to temperthe intellect with humanitarianconcern. I believe that the world'smost dangerous persons are thosewith highly developed intellectswho make decisions withoutregard for , th e human! con- D R . MARION L. SHANE

sequences of their actio ns." SH;VBearingthese J thoughts inmind, I was very impressed withMercyhurst when I first visitedthe campus early this year. HereI found a faculty and student bodywho were not only concerned w ithdevelopment of the mind but alsothe total resources of the student.Man has become subject to non-rational stimuli; a .collegeeducation must'.be humanizingenough to allow the ^student todeal with his or her emotional aridpsychic responses." \2g I f"Two other factors contributedto my decision to come|to Mercyhurs t . First, il founds awillingness to change as need andcommon sense dictate. Secondly,the Sisters 5of Mercy have endowed this campus with a uniquecharacter. They have given us alegacy of love and a commitntentto service which permeates theatmosphere here. I feel that I canbegin to implement my ideas foreducation under these p articularcircumstances." fSvgg gt"Finally , jl would-; like tomention that my office is open atall times.*; If I am not asleep orinvolved in a conference, I wouldbe glad to talk to any student whowishes to see me.

O l y m p i c G a m e s E D I T O R I A L P O L I C YIn Retrospectb y A l M e s si n aThe games of the TwentiethOlypiad are over. The violence,Hie contentious mood, the absurdity have all been narratedwith an almost obnoxiousredundance. Aside from | th e. reprehensible acts ot terrorism,no issue seems to.be in need offurther explanation. There ishowever, one exception:J theV i n c e n t M a t t h e w s - W a y n eCollette contro versy. Thereason? That s | quite simple.Nobody took the time tovigorously defend or explain the irpoint of view. Nobody. fThe initial ceremony was noindication of what was to come.Amidst all the activity, the ABCnews commentators expressedtheir approval of the serene andplacid atmosphere generated bythe opening of the ga mes. It wasto be symbolic of the change, thegrowth of the German people inhuman terms. All concernedwanted the austerity of the 30's tobeforgotteni f iBut when Collette and Matthews engaged in^a bit of symbolic action of their own, chattingcomplacently on the victorystand, a very different impressionwas created in the minds of theABC analysts. Their passion forsymbolism fwas no longer inevidence. Presumably having thesupport of the American people,,the commentators, Cosell inparticular, contended that theactions of the U.S. track.starsamounted to intolerable acts ofirreverence. That reaction, it

appears, was for the most partvisceral , impetuous . Becausewhether Collette and IMatthewsactually, did anything wrong isdependent upon a? number ofthings. For instance, is the flag asymbol of all-pervasive goodness? Probably not. Implicit in itsconcept are * certain failings andcertain virtue s. The virtues w eremeant to be praised, the failingsto* be challenged. Collette andMatthews opted for the lattercourse of action. iMoreover, the ritual of salutingthe flag demands that one beobedient. T here is no choice in thematter: obey and you're a loyalAmerican, disobey and yourpatr iot ism |i s impugned. Thedanger is that it can reach a pointwhere all one has to do is raise theflag, say it's hi the name of dutyand honor, and anything goes-even Vie tnam. | Once theassociation between the causeand the symbol ( the! flag) isestablished, questions of conscience are effectively undermined. IIt is unfortunate that Collette

and Matthews were put in such aprecarious defensive position.Either they never 4. really weregiven an opportunity to confronttheir detractors or never took theinitiative to do so, thereby notforcing a defense of the traditionthey 1 viola ted. But beyondjjthat,there was no real attempt tounderstand the justification fortheir actions, especially Collette,whose answer seemed plausible.He said that what he cud on thevictory stand was a reflection ofthe attitude of whites towardsblacks - casual indifference.{This |raises \ yetf anotherquestion. If a protest was in orderwouldn't it have J been better toexpress it in a more concreteway? Why mislead the public byengaging in an ambiguous act ofsymbolic radicalism. They couldhave presented a formal protestin writing to the I.O.C. Or if thematter was relevant only toAmerica, la Jletterf, to aCongressman, for example,would have been in order. Thisapproach would certainly havebeen more rational and perhapseven more effective. At least itwouldn't have invited I such? ahostile reaction. ButUhen againwhat about-patriotism? Shouldthat be expressed symbolically?Or should the flag saluting ritualbe abandoned in favor of concreteand I constructivemanifestationsof patriotism .Still another argument remainsto be examined. It reads: Matthews and Co llette were given thechoice of participating or notpar ticip atin g/ If they foundOlympic and American traditiondisagreeable they could haveexercised their right to stay homeand protest the m atter. But goingto the games was the equivalentof accepting the validity of thesetraditions simply? because therewas an other option open to them:non-participation. The argumentis obviously specious because, ineffect, itssays that the right toprotest is only a ma tter of choicebefore the decision to participatein an institutional activity ismade. Once the decision is madeto par t icipate, the argumentfollows, the individual abdicatesthe right tor protest. That's absurd. Not only should 1 an institution be open to criticism fromoutside but also from within theframew ork. Matthews* andCollette were within theframework as the aboveargument was defined. The onlyproblem is that their m ethod wasambiguous, rather than concrete.The Olympic Game s, in the lastanalysis, was dedicated to the

SEPTEMBER 1 5 , i l 972 MERCYHURST C O L L E G E P A G E 3Enrollm ent Reaches New Peak$ byfTom FrankWith the beginning of Mer-cyhurst College's .forty-sixthacademic school year, a record-breaking enrollment of over 1,000students will be attending theschool.Included in this enrollment willbe 358 freshmen, 170 males and

Tom Frank188 females. Thre will also be 149local freshmen and 200 residentstudents in dormitories, town-houses , and | apar tm entssurrounding, the Mercyhurs tcampus* '-, tr*In comparing the increasedenrollment over the last twoyears, the Merciad found these

statistics.1) This yea r's total freshmanenrollment has increased by57 students.2) On the national level, theadmission's office had a 23per cent increase in applications during J the pastyear running in direct contrastto the national trend oidecreasing applications atprivate schools. %Some of the reasons given forthe increased student populationsat M ercyhurst are :

1) A choice of li beralcurr iculum s tudies ? an delectives. Thus, along withrequired c ourses ! and majorcourse studies, a student nowmay take "special ^interestcourses", or electives.*Theseelectives offered at Mercyhurst^ consis^ of; a widerange I of courses such asCriminology, A Sociology ofO c c u p a t i o n s , F a b r i c s ,Dramatics and s o o n .2) An increase of grants, loans,and scholarships, thanks tothe pains-taking efforts ofSister Barbara, the financial-aid director. This yearMercyhurst has an unprecedented number ofstudents attending the collegethat in previous years wouldnot have been financially ableto attend any college oruniversitv. 1 ^3) The third reasons for theincreased student body at the'Hurst, particularly the males

at the school, is the intercollegiate sports programsand the law-enforcementcurriculum.The school's recent participation in inter-collegiatesports program which includes: tennis, golf, crew,basketball and starting thisspring, baseball, is a majorfactor. WBesides a varied* intercollegiate sports program,the school also oifers intramural sports program, theschool also offers intram uralsports competition with flagfootball, which begins shortly,Although the fairly young LawEnforcement Department entering its second year at Mercyhurst, the curriculum it offersattracted the g reatest number ofstudents with 78 freshmenenrollees. VMost of the admissions for the1972-73 school year come fromPennsylvania, drawing 352students from surroundingcommunities. In | addition,Mercyhurst also boasts foreignstudents* coming from suchcountries as Nigeria, Korea andGuam.In conclusion, with a school likeMercyhurst* growing in studentenrollment, curriculum, andsports, if the 'Hurst isn't as yet, itwill most probably be one of thebest small, private schools in tenMid-Eastern and Eastern UnitedwStatesrl M

WelcomeAndReview

by Dar io Cipr ianiSports Editor

As-Mercyhurst tumbles into its third full year of being a coeducational institution and also its third*year of inter-collegiateathletic, i find myself delighted to be the new sports' editor of theMerciad. i am replacing probably the finest;scholar-athleteMercyhurst will ever graduate, Bill Dopieralla. * Bill is nowstudying law at Duquesne University. fTo initiate my column, I would personally like to welcome Dr.Marion Shane as the new president of Mercyhurst. -Sjlt is my understanding that Dr. Shane can hold his own with almost anyone ona tennis court. I*hope that with Dr.fShane's guidance the Mercyhurst athletic program will continue to expand, i jre |In a recent interview with Athletic Director Richard Fox, thiswriter learned that Mr. Fox was quite pleased with the results of hisfirst year tenure as Mercyhurst's AD. Mr.-jFox cited excellent cooperation from everyone involved with the athletic program andespecially with the coach es of the various spor ts. Fox also notedthat the program at the 'Hurst is well ahead of many other youngathletic programs even though we are without an athletic facility oncampus. I M I 1 M | *A new member of the athletic program will be Dave Shempeno.Mr. Shempeno will replace Barry McAndrew as the crew coach.Dave is from Bentleyville, Pa., and is a grad uate of Pitt U niversity.He will also be the intramu ral directo r. The new crew mentor willhave to get his oarsmen into condition quickly because of two upcoming home rac es and the po ssibility of an intrasquad regatta.Another addition to the athletic department will be Mr. JosephCook. Mr. Cook will be the varsity baseball coach. Workouts willbegin in the fall and two practice d ouble-headers a re on tap. Thespring will see a full 15-20 gam e schedule. The entire athle ticdepartment is relying on the male spirit of Mercyhurst to get thebaseball prog ram off the ground. No special recruiting ha s beendone for ba seball, consequently, Mr. COOK will have to field the bestplayers available. f | j) f S*f mMister Robert Sturm is replacing Art Grady as head tennis coach.With the addition of Rick Kobler, a junior college tran sfer fromNorth Carolina, it is hoped that the tennis team will regain its firstyear brilliance. On schedule for the netters this fall is a tournamentin Edinboro on September 29th and 30th. * 1 | |A pleasant surprise to the athletic department wasI the performance of last year's golf team . Their 14 and 7 record was amarked improvement after their horrendous |first year performance. With five returning lettermen and the addition of TomHixenbaugh, a fine swinger from McDowell High School, bigger andbetter things are expected of the linksters. Once again the golferswill be under the direction of Paul Olczak.By far, the biggest novelty of our young athletic program is thebasketball team . Under the direction of Mr. Fox, the ball play ersmade a very respectab le showing in their first year of competition.Gracing the Mercyhurst community? these days |is a 6 9" AllAmerican from Stockbridge, Michigan, Jesse Cam pbell. Alongwith Curtis Hixon, Paducka. Kentucky, Jeff Davern, Meadville,Pa., cBobRepko, Erie ,Pa. , !&. Bryant Jacobis, Philadelphia, Pa.,John Chojnacki, trie, Pa., and the likes of returning let ermen,J.C.Carter, Smoker* Jones, Steve Albert, Mike Emick and JeffMcConnell, the basketball team is expected to create havoc amongOther area colleges. s |Mister Fox and this writer feel that the future for all sports atMercyhurst looks very bright. With the talent availab le and the finecoaching provided, it appears that Mercyhurst is ready to assertthem selves as a powerful figure in area sports circles.

JOE C OOK N A MEDBA SEBA LL COACH I

Mercyhurst is already expanding its young intercollegiatesports program and,*, will befielding a baseball team nextspring. MJoe Cook, an Erie native with along s baseball background hasbeen named coach for the newLaker nine. ^Cook played his high school ballat Academy in the early 1950'sand after graduation had twotryouts in organized baseba ll, oneof those being with the OaklandOaks of the Pac ific Coast League.Then, after playing semi-proball for many years in Californiaand Pennsylvania, Joe turned tothe coaching profession. In thepast 11 years he has guided youthbaseball team sun both Oil Cityand Erie. % | JThis summer the Nebco Post 11team in the American Legion
