b y S u s a n W e i n e r"I feel very happy aboutreturning to Mercyhurs t . . . .

l i aft ** weterval since her resignation aspresident fin June 1972. 3Thesevisits lhave given hers an opport unity to o bserve the college'sprogress, including thedevelopment of projects whichbegan under her $ ten-yearpresidency*. A lew of theseprograms are* thei College^ ofOlder Americans, the WQLNradio station, and the festablish-ment of the special education andlaw enforcement majors. Sr.Carolyn expressed her pleasureon seeing the resu lts of her work:"It's always nice to see thefinished product even il you arearound when th e work starts."Sr. Carolyn spent last year inNew York City as director ^ofeducation with the Catholic NearEast Welfare Association. Theresponsibility of raising funds forvictims of war in eighteen underdeveloped countries of theNear and Middle East combinedwith I the experience of livingalone in a Manhattan apartment

to provide the educator with anew and exciting challenge."Sr.Carolyn had the "opportunity torub shoulders1with people of allwalks of life" on the subways ofNew York. She also lived the"personal J experience" oftraveling It o the WelfareAssociation offices in the MiddleEast to see th e victims oi war andpoverty for whom she w as reallyworking. These tw o aspects of herj o b , I Sr| jgCarolyn m feels,"broadened my perspectives"and "gave * me a greater sensitivity to people." Wj& 51Sr. Carolyn's housing situationin* N ew York allowed her moretime ^"to do a lot of thinking,reading* and reflecting on]boththe past and - the future formyself." T h e experience w a s alsoa stimulating change fromworking with the same people inth e same circums tances, in whichone can "tend to becomeprovincial -and parochial.

For Sr.Carolyn, this knowledge will be"helpful in myi relations withcollege students a n d others.''I Center and;* 1 nstitute On AgingAn awareness of;the needs ofothers is an integral part of Sr.Carolyn's responsibilit ies asdirector of research, resource,and development at& the iCenterand Institute on Aging.

Since our last article was gratefully submitted andunhappily receive d w e decided to continue with our series.If you haven 't already noticed there is a distinct group of the M .U.campus originating from a small hick town with a cracked bell.(That's not all that's cracked.) This group slid into Erie like Blue-Bonnet Marga rine ina rented Herts U-Haul. LT h e U-Haul w a s driven by "the leader o i the pack" with his faith*ful sidekick LPG riding "shotgun".

They have proven the cliche that there is safety in numbers.I Besides the points which we \ listed above other distinguishingcharacteristics that set them apart from the minority of thestudents is the distinct nasal quality of their voice accompanied byslang expressions derived from their limi ted farmer upbringing.(OINK) i ]Some examples of their m ost commonly used words ar e: a late r;farm out; out of state; water ice ?; sure, Dav e; oh, really!; swell;Bum me out. i l 1 . . . .From the ch aracteristics mentioned above we hope you will beable to identify this "rowing" band of gypsies and when you dothank them for bringing M .

Great Rip-Off EndsSfliA h Yes! I can remember the good old days when I could pu rchasea years supply of textbooks just outside the bookstore tor about$10.00. Of course the books were h o t , right off the shelves , but theyserved the purpose. The great rip off artists had it down to;ascience, in a n d o u t of th e bookstore daily, smiling when they left an dthen collecting there earnings, not much, but enough for beermoney. Well things have changed, at least for die time being, theschooli has hired an extra "set of eves" to watch out for uscriminals. This duly authorized law enforcement agent in the graysuit has a tough lob and realize that and respect him for it. But assoon as I walked into the bookstore the other day I felt like a suspectin a conspiracy case. I w a s ordered to leave my books outside and totake off my coat and leave that outside also. Now it seems a littleridiculous to leave m y n e w textbook outside (which I purchased theday before in the same store at retail price) unprotected andsecondly to take m y coat off which this man has no right to insist.There are certain ways to enforce rules and regulations and theeasiest and best way is with a little courtesy and respect. Yes,respect for the student body pays this person's salary.?* * jApparently the new system works great for the bookstore andprobably saves the school some money but a t the same! timejeopardizes the students personal ;property and also infringes onthe students rights. JLets g o back to the old system and let the student buy his books

from whom h e wants an d at very popular prices. TThank Y ou '%* * N *$Zuppo Q . PimpletuckerEditors Note; T h e Book Store Policy has been changed. Look foran article in next weeks Merciad. I f Y

PAGE 4 MERCYHUST COLLEGE SEPTEMBER 28 . 1973

On Saturday, September 22, the Mercyhurst Lakers baseballteam {[performed a feat they had never done before; they beatGannon College. They didn't Just beat them either, they hum iliatedthe Knights. For the first tim e this fall the 'hurst baseball team putit all together and poundedout a picture-perfect victory. ,:For openers, Danny Hill set a school record by striking out fifteenbatte rs. But mo re than that, he went nine full innings, striking outthe last batter with a fastball that carried as much velocity as thebatter he struck out in the first inning. In at least two innings Hillhad two runners on with one out, and pitched out of it. That experience is busting out all around. I 1 I *Dave Wieczorek was again the hero at the plate collecting twoR.B.I/s. Mr. autch drove in Kevin Cook in the third with a "Rope"to left center, and hit a shot over the right field fence in the fifth forhis second R.B .I. ': % |Chuck Jones hit a deep sacrifice fly to sco re Wiz, and singled inthe eigth to right center.Curt Brooks promptly singled in Heiming toround out the scoring.The defense was excellent, posting only two errors.As Rood as the Lakers looked Saturday, that's how bad theylooked Sunday against R.I.T . losing 2-1. A ot of excuses could bemade, the long trip, the weather, etc., but if Mercyhurst is to play500. ball this spring, they have got to become mor e consistent.Meismueller pitched good enough to win, giving up only five hitsin the seven inning contest. Again wieczorek c ame up with R .B.I. ona sacrifice fly. This one run loss brings back -memories oft lastspring. The Lakers are for real this year. However, they will haveto forget this oneand work for the next game w hich just happens tobe Gannon, at HOME. Th ere's no excuse for missing this one. C O A C H J O E - C O O K

The Mercyhurst College tennisteam proved not to be politeguests as they routed Akron.Niag ara, and host team E dinboroin the second annual EdinboroInvitational Tennis Tournamentthis past weekend. -On Friday the Hurst tennissquad faced Akron college ofOhio, putting them away in shortfashion, 9-0, in straight sets. TheLakers dittoed their performanceSaturday morning r;againstNiagara College. Saturday afternoon was a-shade rougheragainst Edinboro; we took them7-2. Our No. 3 doubles team ofJim Hay and Jack Daley lost in atie breaker, and the real shockerof the day was Bill Byron theHurst No. 1 man losing in straightsets. j ^ *The squad consists of Byron,No. 1; John Voikos, No. 2; JimHay, No. 3; Ricky K obleum, No.4; Rich Birmingham, No.*5; andeither 5 Jack Daley or a TomTompson, No. 6. |S*/ f J" . $The doubles teams are: No. 1Byron and Voikos; No. 2, jHayand Kobleun, and No. 3, Tompsonand Kuhn.

Now that ^Mercyhurst ha ssuffered all the growing pains of afast rising sports curriculum, thequestion arise s, What next?Well there doesn't necessarilyhave to be an encore to that act,but I predict within the next yearor two, the 'hurst will indeed addanother sport to its roster. This ismerely academic, the tricky partis predicting which sport thecollege will give the nod. * |Five | possible? spo rts immediately pop into mind;swimming, wrestling, crosscountry, hockey, and soccer. Allof which would be suitable for acollege this size. | >But there are more involvedreasons for picking a sport thanmerely the size of the school.Trie first thing you must consider are the facilities; DoesMercyhurst have the properfacilities to afield this" team? Towrestling u and swimming, theanswer is No. Strike those twofrom the list immediately. Thehassle of going to local highschools for meets and practices,would not be worth it. | iSecondly, there is not enoughlocal or semi-localcompetition inthat sport to maketan adequateschedule. ? | "/ | & | |The third consideration iscoaching. Will we have to hire anew one? Do we already Ihaveone? Is one available to us?And the final consideration,which no sport can survivewithout, is the participants. CanMercyhurst field a team ' without

living out vast scholarships toeep people playing. 1 >'' |

This is the criteria, by which anAtheletic Director chooses a newsport. H aving already eliminatedtwo sports from the list, we willmeasure up the final three. Cross* Country is a rough,grueling, testfof stamina whichrequires alot of dedication, hardwork, and long hours. Althoughthe campus is layed out perfectfor a cross country course, Idoubt if you'd find a dedicatedcoach, without pay, let alone a sixman team without scholarships.All hopes of a cross country teamat Mercyhurst left with our"Boston Marathon," Bob Curtis.Hockey at the 'hurst sounds likea natural. With all the studentswe have from*Philadelphia, andPittsburgh, we'd have no troublegetting the p articipants. Why halfof Gannon's team consists, ofMercyhurst students. Competition would be no problem. Wecould join with Gannon, inviting ateam for ^a weekend, Gannonplaying one night, us the next.Mercyhurst could also travel,with Gannon utilizing the samearrangements. Facilities wouldb e ? no problem with the Iconstruction of the new sportscomplex on Rt. 90. A coach couldbe a problem. Art Grady wouldbe a prime candidate, but it isdoubtful whether he would havetime for such a post.With all of-this going for itthough, I still give hockey two orthree years before the Hurstfields a team.Finance, and inconvenience arethe reasons *A hockey team couldrun into money, not only in

equipment, but also paying for icetime to practice^ on? Our sportscomplex in th e! future couldremedy this problem.Saving the most feasible forlast, obviously, soccer jjs myprime choice for the next sport atMercyhurst college. % *

|The*facilites are great. If notTullio field, then the field besideit could be landscaped, a grindmarked off, and presto, you havea soccer field. The competition isabundant,^including, Gannon.Behrend, and Edinboro. A coachwould be no problem if the crewteam* coula give up DaveShimpeno for a few hours a week.He is more than qualified, being astar soccer player himself once,and I'm sure he could pick upsome pointers from his brotherwho is head coach of Edinboro'ssoccer team . | Getting participants? No sweat^jWe evenhave a real;live soccer playerfrom Mexico attending Mercyhurst this year.The cosmic sport is without adoubt the sport of the future forAmerica, lit has invaded theprofessional ranks and the NorthAtlantic Soccer League has justfinished its second successfulseason. Why in Texas alone th er e|are 2000 soccer team s in secon -|dary schools!Now would be a good time tojump on the soccer band-wagonyand ride it right to the top. Whoknows, someday when we are allold alumni, Mercyhurst may beknown as the biggest |soccerschool in the East.
