Cons t i tu t iona l Rev is ionP as se d By! R .U.S .

Throughout the year there hasbeen considerable criticism overthe disunity found in our studentgovernment. At last,Wednesdaynight's meeting, however, thebody acting as a whole passed the

constitutional revision by]a voteof 31-1 with 5 abstentions. Thismajor accomplishment whichcalls for a change in the selectionof student representatives wasconstructed by Alexis Walker,Secretary of R U.S. ^ ?

Initially, the constitutionalchange consists of the followingseven revisions: MM

P (1) the establishment of fivestudent wards on the basis ofpopulation from which sevenrepresentatives will be chosen foreach. These consist of Ward A -Law Enforcement and Sociology;WardB - Art, Drama, and M usic;Ward C| - Biology, Chemistry,General Science, ,HomeEconomics, and Math; W ard D -E l e m e n t a r y | Educat ion andEnglish; Ward E ;3 Business,French, His tory, Pol i t icalScience, Psychology and Spanish.

(2) the election of one freshmanrepresentative in the fall of eachyear from each of the five wardsS

(3) that R.U.S. officers be nonvoting members? of the* Collegesenate. ^5 £ Jfr

(4) that a standing committeestructure be designed with Ihesepossibilities: v t ;$&t.

b y A n n e M a s h i n i c

ft afCultural Committeeb . Social Committeec. Academic Comm itteed. Community-Centered| Committee

(5) nominations for officers willbe made at a m eeting of students,and nominees will be given 24hours to accept or reject thenomination. I

(6) that nominations forrepresentatives be held on acommon day, and nominees begiven 24 hours to accept or rejectthe nomination. ^ £

(7)1 that election! of representatives be held after election ofofficers. |

MissiWalker sees the overalleffect of these seven revisions inthree significant areas: "accountabil i ty ," "void betweenresident:and day students'*, and"academic affairs." |

"Accountability," states?'MissWalker, "is important because of

its influence o n performance." Byelect ing representat ives f roms mal l academic depar tment srather than respective classes, agreater responsibility will beestablished. In the past thestudent has had little criteria onwhich to select his? representative. |Now, however, the closeassociation between departmentmembers will allow the student tochoose 7 th e Imost capab lerepresentative.

A more equalized association ofresident* students* andgdaystudents within each departmentwill result in the selection of moreday students than in the{past.Miss Walker believes that "withthe growing percentage of day

•students at Mercyhurst it is vitalthat they be given a significantrole in functional organizations."#

Miss Walker states that "anyschool government must ?beaware that its scope cannot belimited to social activities.Cultural community $andacademic affairs .are equallyrelevant." Under this newrevision the R.U.S. representative, having been chosen fromthe small academic department,will be more sympathetic to thatp a r t i c u l a r depar tment ' scriticismsând suggestions. Notonly will there be a|closer exchange of ideas? between therepresentatives and those herepresents but also between thedepartm ent's faculty* and the

representative. 15 |By providing greater

responsibility, more equalizedrepresentation, and a wider rangeof interests, the I constitutionalrevision will undoubtedly have avery po sitive effect onour studentgovernment. Alexis Walker, theConstitutional Revision C o m !mittee, and the R.U.S* membersw h o supported this change shouldb e highly commended.

X.

There is a saying that goes "physician heal thyself."With all of the recent'publicity given to the Mercyhurst Law

Enforcement Program, one would think that* the new major is asuccess. The irony lies in the fact that the program is becoming afarce.

In a recent interview, Mr.fRobert A. Sturm, assistant head of thedepartment stated, "law enforcement has attracted a lot of low-academic students."

Mr. Sturm went on to say that screening as to sincere students isnecessary.4 Are they serious o r just looking for an easy degree?t •

One way to demonstrate their sincerity, stated Mr. Sturm, is thatthey must study.

The prgram began with two men who were m ore than qualified toinitiate a successful Law Enforcement Department.

Mr. Sturm had five years of experience coaching, teaching andcounciling prisone rs.

Mr. James Kinnane, the head of the Department, would serve asthe model and authority of the program.

After years of working for law enforcement, Mr. Kinnane neverdrew a gun on any arrest. |

m The two man team taught the courses, with Mr. Sturm lecturingfrom research and Mr. Kinnane acting as the authority to answerquestions. | i

The program began with the concept of educating students ' in terested not just in law enforcement, but in justice," said Mr.Sturm.

To do this Mr. Sturm explained, the "whole social context ofcrim e and enforcement should be explained.". ..... ,j . {

The first term of law enforcement did just that, but now it istaught from the policeman's viewpoint. The social concepts havebeen forgotten.| $

"The law enforcement^program is super-police oriented," saidMr. Sturm.! Also during the first term of law enforcement, if physical fitness

was not met, students were to be suspended from the program .The physical fitness requirement was dropped along with the

program 's other major points. "They just died," said Mr. Sturm.According to the original syllabus, all students in the program

were to follow these requ ireme nts: | i f1) proper conduct and behavior of the law, on or off c ampu s. This

applies to felonies."The least we can expect from law enforcement majors isthat they obey the law," said Mr. Sturm.

-2.) emotional balance. The program originally looked for students §who were able to control themselves in crisis situations. 3

"Guns and m ace," stated Mr. Sturm, "should not be the onlyway a policeman can defend himself.''

3) physical requirements. All law enforcement agencies shavephysical fitness requirements and "weight in relation to height"requirements.

A policeman in good physical shap e is less likely to shoot his gun-4'he uses minimum force,'' explained Mr. Sturm.f

Periodic screening of all law enforcement m ajors is a necessity. Achange in the law enforcement p rogram is an absolute necessity.

How can a program which so badly needs re-evaluation of its ownvalues, judge and enforce the laws they expect others to maintain?' Perhaps "physician heal|thyself," should really say "Future

policemen, look at thyself."

asked to choose", new studentofficers and re presentative s.

However, students are nevergiven any real criterion to judgecandidates.

Since voting records aren'tkept, the Merciad has decided topublish the attendance recordsFor College Senate and R.U.S.meetings to aid students in theirvoting selections. &

Listed below are the attendancerecords of this year'srepresentatives.

There were a total of 13 R.U.S.and Senate Meetings this year .

The R.U.S. constitution statesthat I "Any representative |whomisses three RepresentativeUnion of Students meetingswithout sending an alternate willbe dropped from the Union. Also,

only four alternates may be sentby any one representative duringthe course of the year." {

If one believes in a strictacon-stitutional interpretation. 17R.U.S. members should havebeen dropped for missing 3 ormore m eetings and 1 membeiffor-having too many alternates.

This would eliminate half of thepresent R.U.S. members.

This year 's president , JimMcAndrew, has labeled thecontest as "an interesting set ofelections" and is curious himselfof their outcom e.

In the Presidential office, threeRUS mem bers 'have beenselected: Marty Keeney, AlexisWalker, and Dario Cipriani. Allbut o n e candidate, Dario Cipriani,

Cipriani'sichief motive fordeclining his nomination was thathe could "serve better as a RUSmember working under certainsubcommittees, I do plan to runfor a position as a representative". I (•

Secondary reasons includeDario's other commitments tothe school. He plans next year tocontinue his work on the editorial

board of the Merciad as well ashis membership in Mercyhurst'sgolf team.

Also, he feels that AlexisWalker is the "most competent olal l those} nominated topresidency'^, and is "clea rlysupporting her" .

R U Smeetings and offices be moveddirectly into th e Student Union, hefeels that the present sense ofalienation between students andstudent government* might beremoved. Hopefully, this, alongwith intensified publicity attempts, will help to draw Mercyhurst's Day students closer tothe school. I * H I

Keeney feels that RUS has"bent to o| far with the administration" and sees the 1973-74

seasona s a|'time

for action". IPresently ?RUS4 held a 1 |3representation in the CollegeSenate, the other 2 3 segmentshared by administration andfaculty. When asked if he wouldsee a 50-50 ratio, Keeney seem edto t think it I was futile. "They(faculty and administration)don't listen to our l 3 representation Why should! they listen to

As part of his team concept,Keeney has chosen to run on aparty-type ticket includingcandidates for two other offices:Vice-president, Frank Barry; andTreasurer, Rose Scott. m

While there was initially somedoubt whether or no t| FrankBarry would be eligible to run, a jfinal decision, made by RUS

president, Jim McAndrew,favored h is nomination, fBecause of a conflict between

t h e | school 's and* RUS' constitution, it? was uncertainwhether Barry's accumulation ofcourses within the past yearsatisfied the requirements ofbotnJl m 111 I 5 m

Running without a formal"platform", Walker feels that bycontributing herself, as an individual, she can contribute mostfully tojRUS She has adopted aphase labeled "Communi ty-centeredness", inf which RUSwould encourage outside participation in such organizations asRed Cross and Erie's MOCAprogram. This, she feels, wouldbe valuable to the student who isseeking direction Ifor his futurecareer. J -§#g Walker also Jrecognizes theproblem of weaving|the school'sday students into campus affairs,

although she has no set formula

at this point. I | FWhen posed with the question ofwhether all 3 representation forRUSfwas sufficient, Walkeragreed. >"The Senate has neverreally turned down any proposalsanyway", s h e added.! I

Social H istory - Fir st Studen t U nion,jSchool Song, iMay Crowning

b y G a r y B u k o w s k i %O ne of the most important p arts

of Mercyhurst social history wasthe creation of the |Roost' in 1934as a campus social center. Under,the helpful guidance of DoctorDonatelli, an old ch icken house inthe back campus was transformed into} a l i t t le studentunion. It was a place wherestudents could; socialize—andeven smoke. It was the only placeoni campus where a girl wasallowed to$smoke, and Mercyhurst was one of the fewCatholic Women's Colleges thatpermitted smoking at all. Theinterior of?the!

young team will mak e in the e arlypart of the season and hopes thatby the end of th e season he canfield a strong small unit. T heteam will be captained by semi-veteran Steve Brandon.

Chuck Dailey and ..Bob Stu rmwill serve as co-coaches for theLaker tennis team. Under thissystem, the netters brought homethe first place trophy from th eEdinboro State Invi ta t ionalTournament last fall. With threeplayers returning from last yearssquad an d four other new faces,three of whom a r e junior collegetransfers. The Lakers have theirsights set on a high winningpercentage and a trip to the NAIAnational tournament.

The main stays of this yearssq u ad a r e juniors TommyThompson and Denny Kuhn. Bothar e tw o year letter winners an dhad the two best single records onlastf year s team . T h e otherre t u rn ee is sophomore DaveDudics. Th e transfers are J imHay, Rick Kobleui* an d BarisDeNissoff. The other newcomer
