INTERSESSION1974

In an interview this week with Mr. Igor Stalsky ofthe College Senate Academic Policies Committee,the M erciad learned that only SO per cent of theevaluation forms which wereto have been handed outto studentson the final day of Intersession were everturnedin. W,

The evaluation forms were to have been used todetermine student opinions'of the Intersession

program and proposed changes in* the academ iccalendar. ^ 1 ^

When asked forsome reasonswhy 70 per cent of thestudent evaluations might be missing, Mr. Stalskyresponded that some teachers saw the evaluationforms as evaluations oftheir own teaching ability,and felt threatened by them. In the past, theevaluation forms hadibeen done in the short,ob-

FUND HITS 50 %The deadlinefor jfhe $1,000,000 Campus Center

Fund Drive has once again been extended, this timeindefinitely. ? ^ * M T

While declining to say that the fund-raising drivehad run into trouble, Mr. RobertPrattler, Vice-president In Charge of Development, stated that thedrive was running behind schedule due to a "numberof factor s''. i

Among the factors mentioned were the presentdepressed sta te ofthe local and national economy anda three week slow period inpledge solicitations due tothe Christmas holiday.

v

Currently the drive has resulted inpledges of$500,000 or 50 percent of the $1,000,000 goal.

Mr. Pirather noted that abig push was now beinglaunched to bring that total to $700,000 by the end ofJanuary. When asked when the starting date wouldbe for the Campus Center, he pointed out that thedecision would be uptoUhe Budget and FinanceCommittee of the College. After the Committeereviews all factors involved, they will suggest a datefor ground-breaking. J? g ^ &

Mr. Prathert stated'that he saw no reason whythe Committeewould : not give the go-ahead for aconstruction star tin the Spring of this year.

One of the brighter spots of thefund-raising drivecontinues to beIn the Faculty Staff donations, whichnow stand at $22,000, or $2,000 over the$20,000 goal

originallyset. That figurecontinues to grow.One of the fields in which the fund-raising drive is

now getting involved in is getting corporations andfoundationsto make "challenge gran ts".An examplewould be negotiations underway with the KresgeFoundation that would provide a $100,000 donation ifthat same amount could be gotten from othersources. Mr. P rath er also mentioned negotiations fora similar "matching-challenge" grant with the GulfOil Foundation. i

Interiorview of theproposed MercyhurstCampus Center

O ff And RunningSome 80 Mercyhurst College students on a ll class

levels will pilot a Counseling Services pro ject duringthe Winter and Spring terms. The programwilhbe

known as the PACE program (PennsylvaniaAcademic Enrichment Program) and is designed torespond to students' total educational needs andprovides the following services: tutoring, study skillsdevelopment, personal counseling, financial aidcounseling, writing-and mathematical skillsdevelopment, and career planning. The coreguidance program is available to students who wishto take full advantage of the College Counselingservicesand program participants may utilizeany orall ofthe above services. V .; > * %

Of special interest to seniors] are small groupsessions on How To Write a Resume, How to Participate In a Job Interview, How Tosell Oneself ToEmployers, How To Complete Job Applications.These sessions will be held by the placement office.

Sophomores and Juniors can participate inProblem Solving, Decision Making Lab Sessions,Career Planning Sessions, and make extensive useof materials in the newly* established Career

Resource Center. Freshmen will continue their fall

jective question style, but this year, the forms wereshortsubjective essays.

Mr. Stalsky also noted the fact that almost all ofthe evaluations that were turned in were veryfavorable to the program, and that any kind ofnegative sentiment was conspicuously lacking in theevaluations. As Mr. Stalsky putit, I suspect thatthose faculty members who may have gotten anegative response simply didn't turn* in theirevaluations."

When asked if the Intersession evaluation formswould be used as a representative sampling of thestudent body, Mr. Stalsky responded that he felt not44As it standsnow, the evaluation is invalid a30percent response is worthless.'' ^

Regarding the choices for an academic calendar,Mr. Stalsky noted that 70 per cent of those in thepartial sample favored the present3*1-3-8 academiccalendar,20per cent favored the4-3-3calendar thateliminated intersession and replaced it with afourteen week term in which students had fourcourses two days a week each, and5-6 per centfavored a 4-1-4, standard semester form, similar tothat in use by Gannon and VillaMaria Colleges.

Mr. Stalsky expressed the desire of the AcademicPolicy Comm ittee to get a representative straw votefrom studentson the Intersession and requested tha tthe newspaper sponsor sucha poll. In responseto Mr.Stalsky's request, a blank will be found on page 2,which can be filled out and left in the suggestion boxin the Student Union.

it O PE N FILE S"L AWRAISES QUESTIONSThe Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of

1974, better known as the BuckleyAmendment, hascaused much controversy. Some of the confusionshave been cleared up since President Ford signedmodifications to* the amendment on Tuesday,December 31. However, even though this bill hasbeensigned, it is still subjectto change. :l f

The Buckley Amendment guarantees parentsaccess to their sons' and daughters' records and theright to challenge anything that mightbe inaccurate.It also guarantees students the same rights. Anyrecordsopen to studentswould also be open to formerstudentswho mightwish to challenge them.

Controversy in Colleges arose over the Placem ent

Files. In these files are contained the Student Personal Data Formswhich are filled out by the studentsthemselves and are nothing morethan general information, and the Student Appraisal Rating Scales,better known as letters of recommendation, completed at the request of the student by teachers andnon-teachers. Beforethe^Buckley Amendment, therecommendations were held confidential. If thestudents have access to them, more than likely thepeople selected to write these letters will be morecautious and less candid. Mr. Kennedy, Director ofStudent Services, has commented, "I'm not surewhatthe fileswill mean when employers question thecandidness ofTthe recommendations." Gary

Bukowski, Mercyhurst Director of Placement, statedthat "When graduate schools or employers find outthat files a re open,they don'twant them."

For this reason, students may waive their right ofaccessto the recommendations.As of Janua ry 1, theopen files are optionalto students. However, anythingput in the files before January 1 will remain confidential. The reason for this is that these commentswere written with the guarantee that they wouldremain confidential.

Mr. Kennedy will be attending a seminar atFairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, N.J. onJanuary 23 to clarify specific points of the amendmentand its ramifications for Mercyhurst.

There see ms to be no more efficient way of bringingpeople to attention than by shouting, "We will nowsay grace before m eals."As a crowd-silencerthis farout-ranks even such grabbers as, "0 my God, he'shaving a coron ary," or"Fire." This curious forceofinvocationwas recently unleashedon the M ercyhurstcommunityf!by| Fr. Guy Patrick: with 3* fewpenetrating words before the Christmas banquet, heaccomplished what even the Triple Trio could not:for a few brief moments he held students and facultyalikein something resembling awe. | *

>Fr. Patrick's prayer, of course, was not theonlyreligious overtone to work its way into the otherwisetasteful dinner. President Shane and M r. Blanchfieldalso addressed the group with explicitly Christianwords. However, their success at achieving attentionwas less impressive than that of Fr. Patrick. In factmany personsmocked] the President's attempt atreligious seriousness, while others embossed Mr.Blanchfield's reading of the Christmas narrativewith remarks suggestive of Tiajuana or Port Said.Clearly immaturity is no monopoly of the youngermembers ofthe Mercyhurst family. f

But there is a further misfortune. Our college, itseems to me, is increasinglyembarrassed Iby itsreligion. Like America a t large , Mercyhurst is put tothe blush by the mention of its Christian underwear.We clutch at afterdinner Christmas carols as if togenitals we ar e unsure of. It is insufficient to sayMercyhurst isambivalent about its identity; we areestranged from our origins.M f

Oddly enoughi institutions less committed to

definite goals than Mercyhurst are more certain oftheir direction.

'Point/Counterpoint Part 1

What originally started out as a student evaluationof the1974 Intersession a tMercyhurst has developedinto a verbal powder keg, with members of theMercyhurst community massingon either side of theissue and preparing to wage their respective battlesof words. | *

Mr. Igor Stalsky, Associate Professor of Theatreand a member of the College Senate AcademicPolicies Comm ittee, fed s that intersession should bediscontinued at Mercyhurst for a number of veryimportant reasons. %'i '

The first major reason, accordingto Mr. Stalsky, ispurely economic. Intersessionis, and has been for thepast couple y ears , a money-losing project. Not onlydoes the school lose money by operating with only apartial studentbody,but many students never returnto Mercyhurst after the seven week period betweenThanksgiving and the beginning of Winter term . Thefinancial loss is largeIntersession* in 1973 lost$40,000 (figures are not yet available for Intersession1974) At atime*when the economic future of smallschools like Mercyhurst is endangered, Mercyhurstmust "cover its losses", by either raising its tuitionor cancellingthe Intersession Program.

Another major reason why Intersession at Mercyhurst shouldbe ^discontinued, according to Mr.Stalsky, is the fact that 'Intersession isacademically worthless. Although it may workpretty well for certain departments, it is in the longrun, a w aste of time." Mr. Stalsky pointed out that

E ditorthe smiling veneer of the Mercyhurst body therelurks, I suspect, a spirit which affirms neither theidea of the Christ nor the idea of a college based onsuch convictions as were His.^ |

Sincerely,;, J ^l*f IPhilip Krill

Mercyhurst Syndrofrieb y jj D a v e B l a n c h f i e l d

There is a definite pattern that builds up in manyMercy hurst students, but especiallyin residents. Thefollowing is meantto be a non-judgmental descriptionoftwo ofthese patterns.* f f * W-

jg For many, life becomes a dull routine interspacedwith efforts to break out of the routine. Classes areheld at the same time everyday and itoften seems tobe more like obstacles to be overcome than aneducational experiences. Time outside of classes isspent in the same ways, drinking, card playing,television, pool, alittle?studying here and there.Every day you comein contact with the same peoplewho have the sam e things to say.When parties comeup, people rush;to them as ways toescapeIthedeadening effect of daily life but all too often thepartiesbecome as routineas the week days. They tooare joyless and make the return to the daily routineeven more painful. , ^

Another pattern\ is the | student who is | selfmotivated. These people haveno difficulty in finding

experiences, and projects in which to involvethemselves. If anything,!their lives becomeHoofrantic. Such people have an awareness of the worldaround them, both its riches and its needs. As theygrow they rejoice in its riches (music, literature,people, art, celebrative gatherings, nature) andbecome more aware of their responsibilities to itsneeds (problems ofhunger, economy,aging.) As theygrow they become surer of who they are and moreaccepting of others. | % *

c Of course these two patterns are caricatures, bothgeneral and superficial but those of you who haveread this far may finds yourselves tending moretowards one or the other pattern.If so I may havesomethingto offer you. | *j

The first suggestion isopen ;' to anyone butespecially to those who find themselves in the firstpattern. Life becomes whole and meaningful only tothe extent that you give. That is a verysimple truthbut the most difficult to live out. You become whatyou give yourselfto. Nevergive yourself and you willnever gain a self identity.Accordingly a collegeshould provideits students with opportunitiesto give.Starting this semester campus ministry is going toset up a program so that as many of you as want tocan spend an hour a week or more w ith a person in anursing home. If you are interested in growing alittle, in becominga|bit more compassionate andunderstanding, see us in the campus ministry officeand break out ofthe routine. i I

The second suggestion is open to all but especiallythosewho fit into the second pattern.We are lookingfor volunteers in the college community1who areconcerned about the problem of world hunger. Weneed people who would be willing to goInto thedorms {talk to people and raise consciousness inothers about the food problem. It will not be easy, itmay even be painful but we will be aiming at worthwhile and concrete results. . I

student and faculty sentiments bear out this opinion.In his words, "students and faculty show theirdisapproval for Intersession with theirfeettheywalk outon the school during the Intersession periodand justgo home."

Can Intersession be improved? Mr. Stalsky feelsnot-the main limitation on Intersession being thenumber of people on the collegestaff. "There justaren 't enough people on the faculty who can offer aselection of really great three-week courses. Thereare*a tot of good teachers who just cannot gearthemselves to teaching an entire course in threeweeks time." When asked what future Intersessionswouldbe like, Mr. Stalsky responded th atthey wouldbe much like this past one, with many shoddycourses, and afew great ones/ |

Mr. Stalsky feds that the best alternative toIntersession would be the initiation of a semesterprogram in place of Fall term and Intersession.Students would take four courses, but would takeeach course only two days a week for eighty minuteseach*day. The semester would be fourteen weekslong, and free 4 Wednesdays would be retained. Anadded advantage would be that cross-registrationwith Gannon and V illa would be g reatly simplified.

"If the question of Intersession were put to a votetoday in the College Senate, I feel that it would bediscontinued, probably by, a close vote. Is Intersession worth the cost of a tuitionhike? "

Every Tuesdayevening, the Merciad staff converges on Third Floor Old Main to try to piecetogether various bits of Mercyhurst news and nonsense. At times, the newspaper production businessat Mercyhurst is exceedinglyblightedfby a barrenwastelandof seeming indifference and inactivity. .

the fiftieth year of Mercyhurst College's existence.Mercyhurstand its people have gone through a g reatdeal since a handful of nuns and a small group ofstudents first set up a liberal arts college in thebarely finished rooms of Old Main and Egan inSeptember of 1926. ;

In the weeks ahead, the M erciad is going to"jumpthe gun" a little on thecollege's golden anniversarycelebration bv means of a new regular feature.,"Window On The Past". The feature will continue aslong as we have interesting material to putinto it andit will consistof both writtencopy and photos.

It is our hope that"Window On the Past', will tellMercyhurst students and faculty a little somethingabout the people who went before them, along withphoto views of the campus in earlier days. With thisinsight,we hope that M ercyhurst peoplewill developa "senseof history" forthe school ofwhich they a re apart. 1

Around Th e Townby Pat Woschler

As promised a long, longtime ago, this closing editionof| "Around The Town" willdeal with thosetwo final waysfor getting from Mercyhurst

to somewhere else, the twoT'sTaxi and Thumb. ;As a result of arecent'rate

increase, tatting a Yellow Cab(the only cab company inErie) costs $1.40 for the firstmile, and $.60 for each additional mile. Thus, a roundtrip downtown will run between $4.00 ami $5.00! NelsonRockefeller, where are youwhen we need you! In short,

taking a cab in this town is aluxury that few*Mercyhurststudents can afford. i |

Which brings us to thesecond The Thumbbetter

known as hitch-hiking. Firstoff, the Erie Police Department's attitude toward"thumbing it" is thumbsdownwhether or not theyenforce the law is unpredictable. Second, even ifthe cops ignore you, chancesare that the drivers will dothe same.Erie is not a hitchhiker's townits drivers areextremely suspicious ofanyone standingby the side ofthe roadlooking for a ride.
