    ac u. Ml-y ,Have you heard of the "Jack-of-*all-trades, master of none ?" Such is the personwho vows many things for the season of Lentbut masters none of them. This type of person usually vows to give up candy, gum,desserts, and so on, but weakens until he failsin them all, never sticking to?one. He vowsto go to Mass everyday. Again failure is theresult. I 1 IM On the other hand, if the initial deter

    mination were centered upon one certainsacrifice and promise, the results would naturally be much better. It stands to reason thatto do anything thoroughly or successfully,one must concentrate upon it alone.Therefore, concentration upon one thingis the best theme ffor a good, profitableLenten season. This means concentration upon soul,, sanctity, and sacrifice. That is onesoul (our own), sanctity of one person (our-self), and one sacrifice. 1"S,oon %J3r ever.The ''Spoon-Feeding," of which American education is so often accused, is beginning to tell its tale on the products of thissystem. Like the \ pampered child who hasnever been given a chance to \ feed or dresshimself, today's student and graduate grows

    up unable or at least unwilling to feed anddress himself intellectually. So used tohaving learning fed motheringly to him, hecannot learn by himself and is growing upalmost emaciated as a result of intellectualmalnutrition. \I For him graduation day means the fendof having to ever put another thing into his(he think s) sufficiently-filled head. If Pla to,Shakespeare, Aquinas, even the Bible is notread at school, it is never so much as lookedat afterwardsince learning supposedlystopped on graduation day. |Since this is I Catholic Press Month(although we are but a minute voice in theCatholic Pr ess ), we would like to sh out loudlyto point out the opportunities being left tosHo by. These opportunities lie in the bestof literature which was' created to help mangrow to be whole. We can't urge the studentbody enough to take up a perpetual studentvocation by feeding themselves with a wholesome diet of good books and magazines.LETTER TO EDITOR:Dear Editor: | |; f In reply to the editorial entitled "In aNut Shell" in your last issue, I am wondering who, outside of Student Council, has beenburdened with the duties of the stude ntcouncil members? It has always been theright and! yes, the duty of the StudentCouncil President to delegate duties outsideof Council in order to stimulate interest inthe student body and to give as many aspossible the opportunity to exercise leadership. IThis year the members of Council sacrificed two days of vacation and came back toschool early in September to study studentproblems and set up a program for the year.Members of Council make themselves available every day in the Student Council Officein an effort to be of service to all. We wantyour interest and cooperation. The StudentCouncil is not something intangible . . . it Isa council of STUDENTS working to benefiteach and everyone at Mercyhurst. We arewhat you want us to be; no more, no less.Yes, we did miss the December meeting,and for a good reason. Our date was takenfor a guest lecturer and the calendar was socrowded th at no other date [could be substituted. Council members were asked if theyhad any urgent business that would requirean evening meeting and all agreed that therewas nothing that couldpiot wait until January. I ; IWe were very happy to see about halfthe student body present at the Januarymeeting. This reflects the fact that we havean interested group of students and\we hopethat this interest will continue.We do not think that Student Council is"in a rut" and its members sincerely hopethat they may live upfto the responsibilitiesyou have entrusted to them. * HMary Rachel ShineStudent Council Pre s.

    An Ounce O f Etcetera"Chemise or not chemise, that isthe question." This slight variation of Shakespeare's immortalphrase suggests a fashion boomfor the Spring season. Once againcloset contents must be sorted andreplaced. However, the complaintsare few, because the chemise ispopular. The "roaring 1920" styleof dress seems to bag and sag inthe right places; places that mightotherwise reveal figure faults.Whatever its advantages, it is recognized as an extreme change ofstyle; a change that will Jcostfathers a pretty penny; but, also achange that will lift femininespirits by labeling daughters"walking fashion plates". However, which is the more important,fathers, baggy-eyed from financial wories, or daughters, baggilydressed and momentarily contented?

    An Erie oddity was reported thmorning after a "slight" snowstorm. While clearing the 38thStreet sidewalk, a medium-sizedsnow 1 plow with heavily chain edtires skidded on a!slick piece ofice. This I observation proves thatno vehicle short of air vehicles canbe guaranteed "skid-rree".The quiet months of the schoolyear are upon us. With Christmasweek, semester exams, and winterCarnival becoming definite eventsof the pa st, we are assured of manypeaceful hours in which we j canperform student duties. Suchduties entail: bridge games, afternoon trips to Art's; manicures and

    hair-styling; ttwo hour gab fests;knitting sessions, and- an afterlights study hour. Good luck, students (?) .

    Careful Preparations GiveLaudab le Project Results

    Mad scientists at work???As oneewalks down studio hall past room 26, better known asSister Carolyn's research lab, she may find two?'budding scientists,Ruth Friel and Sylvia Haise, who are taking!a course in researchchemistry as part of their curriculum. They are busy at work withtheir latest experiment.R u t h and- Sylvia first of all star ted to look for inform ation aboutthe ex perimen t (they would perform in the stack s of chemical booksin the research lab.

    Why is it that;*the majority ofpeople fail to realize the impetusof good music on them, emotionally, mentally, and many t imesphysically^. . * .It doesn't take muchfto set thenormal person's foot tapping if shehears or suddenly remembers somehaunting l i t t le tune. She hums unknowingly a fragment of melodyunknown to | her bu t icertainlycatching to her ear.In the musical world a part icularstyle of music will become popular,remain for a period of time andthen lose its. place to anotherequally well-received type. Calypso , waltzs, mambos, rock and roll,all take their place in line decided by their reception by the listening public. Yet, this same publicwhose foot is tapping doesn'tknow the origin of that tune.Classic FavoritesA few hours listening to whatthe public usually avoids wouldanswer the question. Pra cticallyevery particularly catching orhaunting melody is found in aclassical or semi-classical musicalpiece by one of the mastersTchaikovsky, Beethoven, Dvorak,Brahms to name only a few.The theme from "Stranger inParadise" repeats over and *overagain Jiin Borodin's "PolovitsianDances" from Prince Igor, and thefinal part of Liszt's "Hungar ianDances" contains "Put AnotherNickel in, in the Nickel-o-deon".The theme from the ever-popular"Eddy Duchin Story" comes fromone of Chopin's "Nocturnes".Children and adults al ike thri l ledto Walt Disney's "Fantasia" whichwas a video presentation of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker S u i t e " .Mercyhurst students walk to El-gar's "Pomp and Circumstance" onMay Day and this year the Sophomores presented i their pageant toBerlioz's "Enfance } du Christ ."Good music can satisfy desiresfor something, much better tha nthe ordinary and yet a full musicaleducation is not necessary to obtain complete enjoyment.

    ally did find some information ithappened to be writ ten in GermanWhat next??? This actually wa*not too much of an obstacle because both have a reading knowledge of German. The translation .of the text was then fast idiously accomplishea.However, one final step wasnecessary before the student-scientists were ready to performtheir proposed experiment. Calibrating burettes and standardizing acids and bases became theorder of the day. For th e{layman,this translated means the determination of whether their buretteswere even in circumference in allplaces, and what the strengthswere of the acids and bases.

    Finally the Misses \ Sylvia andRuth were prepared to commencewith their experiment in researchchemistry. For results, a visit inroom 26 anytime they are at workshould satisfy any curiousity. Theywill be happy to answer any ofyour questions about their experiment. Scientists, yes, but definitelynot the mad type.

ISponsored by the MercyhurstSodali ty, the Senior and Juniorretreat was conducted by FatherFrancis J . Smith, S.J. Father is aprofessor of English at the University of Detroit. His conferencesubjects were varied and provokedmany comments. Christ's passion,

    sin, agnosticism and atheism, andthe power of prayer were "thoughtprovoking and inspiring," "deepbut practical topics," and "mostbeneficial for- mental prayer andself - reflection." "v

    Father J . C.,Schwarz, g. J., alsoof the University of Detroit, acted*as retreat master for the Sophomore-Freshmen retreat . He is professor of theology * and. chaplainin a student dormitory. The fresh-men and sophomores commentedenthusiastically with opinions re-fleeting Father's "gentle: yet pos-itive approach," "versatile subjectmatter," his "excellent treatmentof pride and humility,"''and rhis"concern for our general spiritualstate rather than one part icularstate in life."Both retreats were composed ofspiritual and voca 1 exercises designed to relieve mental and physicaltensions.

    As the new semester slowly gets under way and the novelty ofthe first week of a new schedule has worn off, every sophomore considers her |burde n light, no matter how many ho urs she may becarrying. Why? Because TP (term paper) is over!There is a song that goes "Little things mean a lot . . ." and for thesophomores the two little words term paper meant a lot of time, effortand energy. Hours of research, _ Iwriting, typing (along with literal ^f f^m | 4 " 1 % l i l V O Htears, sweat and blood I) were expended on th e: enforced masterpieces.Masterpieces ChosenChoosing subjects of interest tothem, the sophomores wrote oneverything from Indians to life onother planets J from narcotics tothe dialogue Mass.

    When asked why she chose sucha topic as the economic status ofthe American Indian, BarbaraSpinelli said she has always beeninterested in them and wantedto know how they have survivedthe innovations of the white man.Junior cadet Mary Kay Garveychose to write about life on otherplanets because the material onit at this time is so abundant shefelt it must be a worthwhile subject .Egyptian burial customs, wit

    nessed in a horror show, fascinated Mary Stark (not that theyusually don't!) because they werethe topic of her recent term paper .Topics UniqueSome other papers unique intopic were Carolyn Golanka's onrevisions of the calendar, MarilynSmith's on Roman? slavery, BettyLu Dorsogna's question of religious morals being taught Inpublic schools, and Joan McLaughlin's study of criticism onMichelangelo's painting "LastJudgement ." .

    For the first time in many a moon, Mr. IWeathermanfavored the Winter Carnival weekend with adequate seasonalconditions. Back campus became the haven of skaters andsnow sculptors, and the Alpine hills were transformed into atobogganing s ite. mNew StudentsA r r i ve He re

    With the onset of another semester, Mercyhurst welcomes newand some familiar faces to thecampus. These faces belong, forth e ,'most part , to freshmen butsome are those of junior cadetswho now find themselves on thestudent's side of the desk after asemester teaching.In the dormitory are three newfreshmen; Roseanne iGarofalo,from DuBois, Pa., who is a transfer student from Penn State, MaryAnn Muck, from Meadville, Pa.,and Martha Flaherty, from Buffalo, New York.From the city of Erie come fournew frosh day-hops, namely PatDwyer, Kathleen Dugan, CathrynCorboy, a transfer student fromBucknell University in Lewistown,Pa., and Barbara St .

    Several feet of snow favored P atMurphy with a \ luxurious whitebackdrop as she was informallycrowned queen of the Winter Carnival on Friday evening. Followingher celebration, she and her courtiers, Marilyn Chromey, MaureenClancy, and Janie Hageddsh, ledthe way to the Swiss Chalet tocomplete the evening with recordsand dancing.A blazing fire in Cabin Two onthe Peninsula, weiners, and snowball fights were the prelude to theformal dinner-dance held at theMasonic Temple t Ballroom Saturday evening. During intermissionat the Sophonade, the queen wasregaUy crowned and!'serenaded bythe sophomore class.
