    Mercyhurst:Take Advantage Of ItAt a;time when many would-be students must forsakehigher education for lack of financial assistance plus risingcollege costs, the present student body at this college shouldbe grateful to have either newly entered or remained here.Students at Mercyhurst must remember this and take fulladvantage of the humarrand plant resources at the college.Academic and recreational facilities are everywhere. Justlook.There are the instructors, the Learning Resource Center,the Campus Center, clubs t and organizations, the CampusMinistry, athletics, student government, films, trips, socialevents, speakers, and other stud ents, all different, all bringingwith them to the college separate knowledge and experiences.Of co urse, ail stude nts, especially the new ones, may not be.able to immediately adjust to the delicate balance betweencourses and extracurricular offerings, But this should notstop anyone from trying. *Students who are involved in campus activities or who ex-tend themselves further into .academics than!the normalcourse-load, will I find a greater appreciation of the collegeexperience.The time to begin is now, at the onset of the academic year.Attend the student government meetings, take a' sauna at theCampus Center go to a "Film for Discussion," or write forthe college newspaper. Just don't sit atihome or in a dormroom reading tomorrow's assignment, then watchingtelevision. vThe cost of a college education is high enough. Don't paythe additional high price of being uninvolved.

    Letter

    Sesler ResidentsAir GrievancesDear Editor, *We are writing this letter to sharewith the Mercyhurst Community ourexperiences this year living in Sesler.The day we moved into our apart-ment was hectic. The next day thingsgot even worse. * VOur refrigerator broke on Saturdaythe 4th and we lost all the food ourparents so graciously sent with us. Wecalled maintenance numerous timesand finally received service Wednes-day the 8th. The repairman started torepair our refrigerator that day, hutleft after one hour of work, leaving histools and refrigerator parts all overour. kitchen. He returned the nextday, only to tell us the refrigerator wasunrepairable. After contact ingmaintenance we were told we couldn'thave a replacement until Monday the13th. ^ ^ L .In the meantime, bugs moved in andour apartment was infested with flyingants and bugs in the mating season.The exterminator was to come onThursday the 8th, but never showeduntil Sunday the 12th.

    The poin t of this letter is: ;Weunderstand that these unexpected pro-blems do occur, f What we do notunderstand is how this major problemwent to these extremes. We contactedt h e r i g h t p e o p l e : o u r | R A ,maintenance, the Director of StudentServices and even the President of thecollege. Why didn't we get action im-mediately? Why did we have to go 10days without any means of refrigera-tion? Why did they wait until we hadso many bugs that we could no longersleep in our apartment? We hope thatin the future the school responds tostudent needs and does not ignore ma-jor items of repair. The students can-not- afford to pay for the sc hool'smistake twice, once initially during theproblem and twice in their rent.*We would like to especially thankour neighbors for being so kind andunderstanding and our RA for helpingus in every way possible.)

    What s A Good Student?jB y P . Barry McAndrew

    ^Mercyhurst is engaged in becominga college o f distinction J a collegewhere th e physical, moral, social, an dintellectual needs of i ts students ar edeve loped in a challeng ing at -mosphere. While acknowledging th eneed an d importance o f t h e others, Iwould like t o address th e intellectualaspect in this essay.fI approach thisessay by asking the question: What is agood student? I answer that questionby saying a good student has the abili-ty t o think deeply, speak articulately,and write clearly. *%Mi T h e ability t o think clearly meansthat th e student i s not satisfied withmerely "looking at" a text. He/shemust b e willing t o read beneath th esurface aspects o f words t o gain anunderstanding of the thought an dmeaning'which* is th e basis for the

    words. In the i attempt t o gain thisunders tanding , t h e student willbecome aware of the logical connec-tions among th e thoughts. Logic im -plies relationships, an d iu i s the ap-preciation o f relationships that makesa good student. ?j . Once th e relationships ar e graspedand appreciated, th e good student

    must be able t o communicate thatknowledge verbally in an articulatemanner. T o d o this properly requires avocabulary sufficiently flexible an dextensive t o convey one's thoughtswith precision, an ability whichhighlights a ; major contrast betwee nthe good student an d others.To speak well is an important at -tribute, but,!in th e final analysis, th egood student; must be able to writewell. T he wedding o f thinking an d

    speaking produces clear writing.Writing i s the culmination o f the pro-cess o f thinking, fo r writing solidifiesthat abstract process in sentences,which ca n then be judged as to theirclarity o f expression. Writing serves tocheck th e sometimes imprecise u se o fthe spoken word. It does this by allow-in g ou r thoughts to be "recollected intranquility" an d therefore t o conveymore accurately exactly what w emean, v * 5r jIn sum, the good student is one whorelishes the challenge o f new ideas, th evastness o f knowledge a n d wh o a t -tempts to add to these by deep think-ing, precise articulation, an d clearwriting.

    Former HostageSpeaks On CaptivityBy Cindy Hurstand Chris Stark ITry to imagine being held hostage,for 444 days, while only seeingdaylight 11 times, and fearing thateach breath may be your last.These were among some of the ex-periences of Colonel Charles W.Scott, a former Iranian hostage whospoke at Mercyhurst College onTuesday, September 14. ColonelScott expressed his opinions on thetakeover and told of his personalordeal while in Iran. |Following the takeover of the em-bassy in 1979, Colonel Scott foundhimself at the mercy of his captors.While on his way to be interrogated,he established four goals for himselfto avoid brainwashing and maintainhis sanity. In brief, they were: toavoid any form of writing that maybe used as a confession; not to say ordo anything that may be embarrass-ing l to the United States; to donothing to bring additional physicaldanger to fellow hostages; and toestablish his personal as well as pro-fessional stand with the situation.In accordance with these personalgoals, Scott eventually gained aminimal respect from his captors.After three-and-a-half weeks of be-ing held hostage, he was no longerphysically* abused, or intenselyinterrogated. ?lNonetheless, there was one in-stance when Colonel Scott was oneof 20 men placed before a firing

    Colonel Charles Scottsquad, and his goals were once againtested. To the ijmilitants' dismay,their tactic of breaking the menfailed. jThe Americans unilaterally set thesame four objectives, after havingno contact with I one another i fornearly four months.The Colonel stated, "January 27 ,1981, was a day the U.S. became tru-ly one nation under God." This, heexplained, was to do with the releaseof {the* remaining 52 Americanhostages.Receiving more than 9,000 lettersfrom the public after returninghome, Colonel Scott clearly believesthat there is now a spiritual unifica-tion of th e American people not seensince W.W.

    Freshman Enrollment Down Academic Enrichment GrantsAdmissions Standards Raised Awarded To 26 College Programs

    The Admission Office recently an-nounced that 340 students were^ac-cepted into the freshman class underincreased academic standards, :^According to Thomas Billingsley,former director of admissions, "Theaverage college board score jumped 50points and 28 students scored 600 orbetter on both verbal and math."The number of students rejectedfrom the freshman class totalled 127,according to the Profile of Fall 1982Admission Report.In the fall of 1981 the number ofstudents J rejected totaled 79 and in1980 rejections totalled 18.f 1Due to the more difficult admissionrequirements the number of freshmenaccepted did not exceed last year'sfreshman class. This year 340 studentsentered Mercyhurst College, while 356entered last year and 308 in 1980."In reviewing the applicants for thisschool year, Mercyhurst was concen-trating on a more balanced intellectualand cultural mix ," said Billingsley.This enables all qualified applicantsthe advantage of an education while

    Building Assessment FeeTo Be Levied Each TermA new student fee known as the"Building Assessment Fee" was leviedon the Fall term tuition statements forfull-time students. The $30 fee will becharged to students each term, statedMercyhurst College President, Dr.William P. Garvey.According to Garvey, the Board ofTrustees approved the creation of thefee "in order to ensure that the cam-pus and its buildings are in a high stateof maintenance." The fee I willgenerate approximately $100,000 peryear and will be used strictly forupkeep of the college plant and tofinance new buildings, said Garvey.

    'The Building Assessment Fee has sreplaced three-year-old "Student Fee"of $15 per term. Garvey explained thatthe money collected in Student Feeswas assimilated into the general fundof tuition dollars. Because of this,there was no guarantee that the moneywould be spent on campus upkeeponce the constant costs such as salariesand utility payments were met. ~.$iNow, the funds collected throughthe Building Assessment Fee will bekept in an account separate from thegeneral fund, said Garvey.| "No one can touch it for any otherpurpose," he commented.

    PhoneChangeoverNext WeekLynn Pope sThis fall, Mercyhurst is being in-troduced to a new phone system. Thesystem, Direct Inward Dialing (DID),

    makes it possible to dial various of-fices on campus directly. Thepreliminary work for the new systembegan over the summer With the in-stallation of the new phones. LPresidential Assistant John Nesbitsaid that the cut-over to the newsystem will be on Friday, September24, at noon. He said that the late star-ting time will give the college person-nel a chance to get in part of a day ofactual service, and if there are any dif-ficulties, they will have the weekendto correct them during times of lowusage. Nesbit stated, "Thereshouldn't be any problems, but younever know ." * r3j.There will be training sessions givenfor the staff the week of September20, and there will be a total of six ses-sions given - for the "faculty onSeptember 23 and 24. Nesbit said hehopes that all of the staff and facultyattend these sessions due to the highlyadvanced technology of the newsystem. Nesbit said that the trainingsessions will be short, probably only ahalf an hour each. iNesbit said he w ould like the collegecommunity to be able to take full ad-vantage of the new system's features.The DID system will save the college

    in manpower, time and money, saidNesbit. The operators,' who previouslyanswered all of the calls coming intothe college, will now handle approx-imately only 20 percent of all callswhen the new system goes into fullusage. This will free them to do otherjobs such as entering data into thecomputer system while they, aren'tmanning the switchboard. The foldswitchboard presently located on thefirst floor will be eliminated and thenew DID terminal will be located inthe basement adjacent to the computerterminal. y Since signing the new contract withGTE last February, Nesbit said Mer-cyhurst has saved 24 percent inoperating costs which made the newsystem well within the budget set asidefor phonejexpenditures. Nesbit saidthat the phones used in the old systemwould cost approximately $ 18 each attoday's prices, but with the newsystem each phone will cost the collegeapproximately $7. * t JjThe*-, most popular numbers in theschool will be published in the newGTE phonebook which will come outin mid-November. Only 33 of some200 numbers in the school will bepublished in the phonebook with thelast number being a general informa-tion number. tl. Nesbjt said that it will probably takeuntil the beginning of winter term toget the system into full usage.

    In Football Lakers Dodge Bul letsThe Mercyhurst football team pulled off the most surprising upset in their short history Saturday when they stun-ned, the Gettysburg Bullets, 21-20. The Laker first score was set up by a Jim Sturm 31-yard interception return andwas capped off with a 20-yard touchdown strike from starting freshman quarterback Ed Ricci to junior John Moorewhich gave the Hurst a 74) lead midway through the first quarter. - ! ,\,v> *The Laker defense stopped the Bullet offense the entire first half. The defense came up with the big play wheneverit was needed, especially the defensive backs who forced the Gettysburg signalcaller to misfire in ail five of hisattempts. 4 **The Laker "other" quarterback, freshman John Loshelder, rose to the challenge when Ricci Went out with an in-jury and illustrated the quarterback option and roll-out to the Bullet defense. Loshelder capped a 66-yard secondquarter drive with a nine-yard scamper around end to give the Hurst a 14-0 advantag e. J H kGettysburg head football coach, Barry Streeter, reloaded his offense for the second half. Bullet mentor Brett Gipemoved the team down the field from the kickoff to cut the Hurst lead in half. W.: -However, the Blue and Green refused to be intimidated and immediately drove 73 yards and put the margin backto 14 points when junior Jeff Jones ran 26 yards to the endzone. j vf?*From this point on, it was all Gettysburg. The Bullets put together another lengthy drive in the third session tonarrow the score, and their defense practically shut down the Hurst offense. The game was in the hands of Mer-cyhurst's defense, which held of f the 'Burg offense as long as they could. With 3:56 remaining in the ballgame,Bullet RB Ray Condren rushed for his second TD of the game to cut the margin to o ne. Coach Streeter then madehis fateful decision - to go for the win. * i #Streeter called on his leading rusher, Paul Rosengrant (113 yards), to carry the pigskin. The Gettysburg coach,however, had planned for someone to block defensive lineman Sean Maloney - no one did - and the 2-point bid fail-ed, thus giving the Lakers a 21-20 victory. *Outstanding efforts were turned in by QB Loshelder, who rushed for a game-high 14S yards, and linebackersDave Curtis and Tim Lattimer, who were in on 18 and 16 tackles, respectively, Also, not to be fo rgotten, are thefreshman kickers Dave Sawtelle and Pete Rauhe. Sawtelle was called on to punt seven times in the contest and didadmirably as he finished with a 38.86 per punt average, including a 59-yard boot. Rauhe booted three PAT's whichis more than the Hurst had last season. . s ' - %' The Lakers are back in action this Saturday, September 18, when they oppose John Carroll in Erie VeteransStadium at 1:30. ? m a&_
