VV. i'iVJf'VAi'CHRMA Fights Prices Volume *HVH* Vr\V*V \*7 AttitudesEd. Note: This is a first of a two-part series dealing with theMercyhurst snack bar. This weekwe look at the price structure ofthe snack bar and the reasonsbehind it.by Linda First .V:Ninety cents for an egg saladsandwich?!This as well as other seeminglyhigh-priced items have led peopleto question, and, In some cases,complain about the MercyhurstSnack Bar run by the HotelR e s t a u r a n t M a n a g e m e n tAssociation students.In light of this situation, TheMerciad decided to investigatejust what factors wereprecipitating an overall negativeresponse to the snack bar.Responding to the cries of highprices, we called upon areacolleges for price comparisons.Among the area colleges con-tacted were Behrend, Edinboroand Gannon. A fourth college,Villa Maria, was contacted only

to find that it is completelysupplied I through vendingmachines.Receiving the complete menusfrom each snack bar, ten com-mon items were taken and puttogether to form a list from whichprices could be compared.Among the items chosen were thefollowing: coffee, tea, donuts,pop, milkshakes, hamburgers,hotdogs, grilled cheese} sand-wiches, french fries, onion rings,and submarine sandwiches.Doing the "shopping basketapproach" (that is, adding theprices of the ten items), incomparing the prices of thecollege snack bars, some in-teresting facts came to light.It turned out that the bottom-line price of the /Mercyhurst"basket" was 12 to 41 percenthigher than those of the neigh-boring colleges. ^In one case, the price disparitywas limited by size of productoffered as Mercyhurst submarine

sandwiches, approximately sixinches in length, were between adime and a quarter less thant hose of the other colleges of-fering subs between 10-12 inchesin length. \ *However, in other cases thedifference in price was not theresult of size. For example, theprice for a 'Hurst hotdog at 70cents Is 15 to 30 cents higher thanhot dogs at the other college snackfacilities. ILooking for reasons for thehigh prices The Merciad spokewith Frank Pauze, hotel-restaurant management in-structor; William Kennedy.Director of Student Affairs; andKeith Crouse, manager of K.C.Food Service.Citing the inability to deal involume as a major factor in highprices, Pauze commented that"whereby the cafeteria servicecan buy a case of canned goods,we have to buy two for threecans.]1 I *Y"

Kennedy concurred with Pauzein stating JJimited facilities andlack of freezer space as beingcontributing factors to thevolume buying problem. He alsocited the fact that the other snackbars are run by the respectivecollege food services. *%However, in talking withCrouse under whose supervisionthe snack /bar previouslyoperated, it was learned that thesnack bar had never risen abovebreak-even status."In an attempt to improve theirfiscal status, the HRM usesvoluntary free labor from itsmembers to produce and sellsubs door-to-door at the dormsduring week nights, cThe original reason for thesnack bar take-over by the HRMdepartment and the studentassociation was to give thestudents a practical laboratoryand a Ireal life learning en-vironmen t. Any*; fundsregenerated are to be pumped

back into the program to buymore equipment and up theservice. *"We're unaking a little bit ofmoney, but not much," revealedPauze.Pauze claimed that during thefall term the snack bar mademoney and the organization w assolvent. . i tJ-However, during intersessionHRM ran into a snag by losingcommuters andean estimated$1,000 in' business. Pauze statedthat business is on an upsurge att he present tim e. He hopes priceswill stabilize for the time being.However, if business tapers offagain in the-spring like it didduring intersession, we may findourselves paying a dollar for thategg salad sandwich.

VOLUME 50 NO. 16 MERCYHURST COLLEGE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1980- vStudent Government To HelpMuscular Dystrophy Raise Funds

The student government spentconsiderable time discussing afund-raiser for MuscularDystrophy at the February 18meeting. >After the body decided to hold afund-raiser, they were faced withchoosing a money-makingavenue. The bod^^avored theidea of having fthe women andmen sports teams solicit votesfrom the Mercyhurst com munity.

Each vote would cost a pre-designated amount of money, andthe team with the most voteswould win the contest.The* MSG, after lengthydiscussion, decided to present theidea to the athletic department.Other fund-raising id eas includeda volleyball marathon, a talentshow, and choosing a MuscularDystrophjrKing and Queen .^T ?In other action. Seltzer an-

Dr. Carson Carr, pictured above, is shown here In the midst of his.evaluation of the PACE Program. Carr was impressed and hemade it known as he cited the Mercyhurst program as a ''model forthe state." fPACE Program LaudedCiting the Mercyhurst CollegePACE Program as a model forthe state of Pennsylvania, Dr.Carson Carr paid a two-day visitto the college for evaluation of thefederally funded program. professorarr} a | professor ofmathematics education atLeMoyne College in Syracuse,New York/ and director of theUpward Bound prop-am, felt thatthe college was doing a superiorJob in implementing the supportservices , program, ^whichoriginatedfromAct 101. Act 101 lalegislation dealing with highereducational equal opportunity.Basing his evaluation onstudent feedback, as well asorganizational criteria, Carrcommented that the PACE staff,consisting of students, teachersand administrators, was. well

received by the student body. Healso reported that there appearedto be a high degree of com-mitment on the part of thoseindividuals to the program.Citing the student staff as beingparticularly competent and welltrained, Carr felt that theexisting student staff was toosmall to effectively ac -commodate the number ofstudents in the program. He alsofelt that the laboratory facilitiesshould be enlarged, claiming therooms on the third floor of OldMain to be "too cramped."Carr entered the Mercyhurstevaluation process after havinghad the opportunity to evaluate 50other colleges in the state ofPennsylvania. He will now reporthis findings to the Department ofEducation in Harrisburg. \

nounced the Academic Policiesproposal of a calendar change tothe representatives. He ex-plained briefly that the calendarchange proposes the elminiationof Intersession, as well as addinga four course schedule and anextra two weeks to the Fall Term.Seltzer went on Jo say that theSenate Sub-Committee had thedetails, * and urged therepresentatives to .attend themeeting on February 21."Now you know that this ishappening in advance,0 saidSeltzer. So if you want to dosomething about it, now wis thetime.-" IBy Hew

In new business. Historyrepresentative Tim Kosarskysuggested that MSG compose aletter to the appropriatedepartment concerning what hefeels is a poor security system inthe library. jThe governmentresponse was enthusiastic.""!think it's something that reallyneeds to be done,'1 said TreasurerJim Bolger. \Dr. Garrelts presented theMSG with his idea of forming a'cultural committee.\ As abeginning, Garrelts would like toteam up with students and bringfilms of high quality to thecampus for discussion."We need students who know atwhat cultural level to begin,"explained Garrelts, "either in co-opera tion with a class or not."Interested students shouldcontact Therese Tololneo, who isthe chairperson of the com-

mit lee.A represen tative from' theMcAuley dorm council proposedthe initiation ofja change bankfor student use in the dorm. A$50.00 loan, on a credit basis wasasked for:The government thought itwould be beneficial to all thedormitories,-with the stipulationthat a specific contract be drawn."If we had one in each of thet hree jiorms," commented JimBolger. "I think we'd be in goodshape."H was announced that* all theproposals? for thetextrarMSGfunds should benefit the majorityof students on campus. Many ofthe proposals already submittedlo the government were directedtowards one major.

MSG will accept proposals untilthe end of Winter-Term.

Proportional Athletic Budgeting MandatedAs many college athletic of-ficials had predicted, U.S.Department of Health,Education, and Welfare (HEW)

Secretary Patricia Harris hasannounced that HEW willabandon its broadly-based policyfor ensuring equal athletic op-portunities for women. [HEW will instead require thatcolleges and universitiesproportionally spend as much onwomen's sports scholarships asthey do on men's, though it nolonger asks schools to exactlymatch spending on all sportsbenefits."If 70'percent of a school's

athletes are m ale," Harris told aDecember 4 press conference inWashington, "they are en titled to70 percent of the financial aiddollars" spent on snorts.She added tha t; if schoolswanted to have more scholar-ships to female athletes, theymay have to cut back the numberof scholarships they give to men.The announcement came aftera year of controversy overHEW's prior interpretation ofTitle IX of the Higher EducationAmendments of 1972, whichprohibits; discrimination on thebasis of gender in federally-supported institutions.

Former HEW

Millar Propose SwitchCalendar SystemIn his next meeting withthe Academic PoliciesCommittee, Dr. John Millarwill attempt to implementchange in proposing a newacademic calendar that willcreate a 12-week fall termand -eliminate intersession.The proposal, which wouldbe effective In September of1980, would call for a laterbeginning date for classes September 24 - than has beenpracticed at Mercyhurst inprevious years. The studentswould then attend classes fora 12-week period, finishingthe term the second week ofDecember. \'-Classes would also be

shortened in this processwith 20.minutes'being cutfrom the current class timetables. For instance, classescurrently running 80 and 110minutes will be cut to 60 and80 minutes respectively Osuch a change is approved.Additional changes thatwould accompany theproposal, if accepted , are theenrollment of full-timestudents for 9-12 credit hoursin the fall term as well as anadditional day for finalexams at the end of the fallterm.Millar feels that with theContinued on page 3

Proportioned Athletic continued from page 1Citing that the women'sathletic budget had doubled in histhree years as athletic director,Cusack felt that: building thewomen's program to the level ofthe men's was a better alter-native at this time. {This, he state d, would 'beachieved through the evendistribution of future grants-in-aid made available to the athleticdepartment. There is a widedisparity in the aid alloted to thesexes as men attract 26 of the 28grants available.HEW stalled enforcement ofthe requirement while the con-troversy raged, and then pledgedto come up with the final policyinterpretation" that Harrisultimately announced last week.The new - interpretation

exempts colleges from equalspending on many athletic"benefits" like recruiting andadministrative costs, whileconcentrating on proportionalequality in scholarships.Harris left room for disparityin scholarships, too, as long asthe disparities aren't caused bydiscrimination, t* fc"HEW isn't requiring thatbenefits such as locker facilitiesor coaching staffs be identical,"Harris said. But programs will beaccused of violating Title IX ifthey "provide new equipmenteach year for all their maleteams, and used equipment onlyfor their female teams."Members of the sportsestablishment greeted the policyinterpretation with a littlecaution, confusion, and evenirritation."ToU the extents they'veremoved a strict financialstandard as a measure of com-

pliance, it's a very positivedeve lopment , "s ays NCAAlawyer William Kramer. TheNCAA, he adds, is still opposed toeven proportional spending forathletic scholarships.How it will affect the schoolsthemselves is still open toquestion. "I'd love to tell you,"says Jim Jones, senior assistantathletic director at Ohio State,"but we haven't even seen thenew guidelines yet." Never-theless, he predicts that OhioState would probably alreadycomply with them.Other, smaller schools don'texpect the new policy will havemuch effect. Warren Emory ofthe California Institute ofTechnology explain "Our athleticprograms respond to the studentinterest. We fund whateverprograms the students ask for."

The problem is obviously morecomplex on most cam puses, andwomen's groups aren't sure thenew HEW policy will make iteasier."We won't be able to tell theeffects until it's enforced," saysJane Habiger of the Associationfor Intercollegiate Athletics forWomen;."Rightnow we just can'tpredict su ccess." *"Women's groups would haveliked us to go farther," saysLarry Velez of HEW's Office forCivil Rights, which will beresponsible for enforcing thepolicy. "But they're pretty happywith it now. We're optimistic.At her press conference, Harrisnoted that "if w e find it is com-pletely unworkable, it will bechanged. But it will take morethan resistance from a fewuniversities." .J i
