It was designed by M artin Miglioretti, asenior art major, for the purpose of giving T H EMERCIAD an appropriate form for the college's50th year anniversary celebration.

b y D a v i d B l a n c h t i e l d a n d P a u l J u r k o w i t zFirsts the fifteen most important goals can be groupedin several larger, thoughoverlapping, categories . Theyseem to deal! with* reasoningand comm unication skills, thepersonal development ofstudents,* and * values thattranscend the individual'sself-interest* Secondly, thereis? a remarkable lack ofconcern that Mercyhurst passon certain bodies ?ofknowledge. In the Top Fifteenthere are no direct statementsin this area^Indeed, of all 44sta tements|abouti developingstudents, only four| ijnaysuggest a direct interest.instudents acquiring:a*body Ofknowledge: "To produce a'liberally' educated gra duateregardless of career orien

tation" (2.24); "To produce agraduate who isknowledgeable about a widerange of human activities''(2.40); "To teach students a.vocation" (3.15); and "Torequire that students be ableto communicate in at leastone other language" (4.06).There was no mention of goalssuch as "helping studentsgrasp ^the xrudiments ofWestern Civilization"; "introducing students, to theJudaeo-Christian tradition";or "helping students i acquiresufficient' experience *.withmathematics to appreciateits value as the language ofscience \ for describing thebehavior of nature." -J i ]iThe faculty who respondedin 1973-74 thought that these

. ^

fifteen goals were at the heartof | their educationalphilosophy. Is there evidencethat their philosophy actuallyinfluenced the7academic lifeat Mercyhurst? Secondly,since the faculty policiesopinionaire >was circulated,there has been a good deal ofturnover Hn the faculty. It isalso J. possible; : that some f ofthose stil l present havechanged their opinions aboutwhat Mercy hurst should tr yto offer its students.

P A C E 6 MERCYHURST COLLEGE JANUARY 16 , 1976Campus Ministry New RUS CommitteeChristianity is wide enoughin its beliefs and practices tohold divergent trends withinitself. Two such trends are theChristian sense of the importance of" the celebrationand at the same time therecognition of the need tosacrifice for others. Thismonth the Campus* Ministryoffice is sponsoring two verydifferent kinds of eventsdesigned* to put us in touchwith the spirit of bothcelebration a n d sacrifice.% On Tuesday January 29th at8 p.m. fn die recital hall, th eCampus Ministry is sponsoring a talent show. The ideais to show th e college community that w e have th eability to lighten each other'slives. We have asked on e

guest from th e Erie community an d several collegehumorists and entertainers toshare their gifts with us. Fr.William Biebel, assistantHead* Master^ a t CathedralPrep, has consented to come

b y D a v e B l a n c h f i e l dplay a classical piece and hisfamous * 'Variations on aTheme from Mickey Mouse11.A s for home grown talent, BillKennedy will act as M aster ofCeremonies. If he can'tmakeit he has promised to send hiskangaroo as a substitute. Billwill introduce such acts a spart of the cast from the play1 ffs doing a scene! called"The Egg". I n addition DonnaWalker will sing some folksongs a n d the Mercyhurst folkgroup will do some numbersfrom Godspell There f willalso be a surprise comedyroutine. iTurning to the serious side oflife, it is all too easy for us toforget our responsibilities tothe disadvantaged and needy.S o far this academic year our

office has not devoted enoughtime or energy? to the worldhunger problem. We want totry and correct that oversightby initiating a n activitydesigned to raise peoplescons ciousnes s to J the hunger

iss ue. Starting f ThursdayJanuary 22nd a n d everyThursday thereafter,* ou roffice will serve soup betweennoon and one o'clock. Therewill be n o charge for the soupb u t we ask you t o give up yourregular lunch ; that day tocornel eat with us and makeany contribution you want to afund that will go to either thelocal soup kitchen or to ahunger relief agency.Each week a differentfaculty member will make "apresentation on a topicrelated to the hunger issue orpossibly o n a topic of personalinterest. The presentation onThursday the 22nd*will beginat 12:15 p.m. and will be adiscussion of a theologicalnovel Exit 36 by? RobertCapon. The soup t hat first daywill he a vegetable soupprepared by Tina Shimpeno.A nyone ^who is interested inproviding soup or just incoming please' contact th eCampus Ministry Office.

In October of this past yearRUS attempted to organise aStudent Course and FacultyEvaluation Committee. Th ebooklet which would be theresult of their work would bedesigned to give studentsinformation they may need orwant about a particularl i e t o r . S u c hcourse orinformation would includegrading policy, whether th ecourse was directed towardsmajors or non majors, howthe exams were, an d otherquestions that a re usuallydiscussed when students are'trying to figurd out Inextterm's t schedule. T heevaluation would completelypreserve student anonymity,and would be similar to ft heSIR'S, but would he-for th estudents' benefit more thanfaculty o r administration.[During Intersession, a fewthings were accomplished. Aquestionnaire^ was drawn upand the organizational setupof an editorial board w a sdesigned. Th e decision w a smade to limit this first attempt to loo-levelI courses

The Mercy hurst Lakers managed to compile a 2-3 recordover the vacatioa Disappointed is the only word that canidescribe the Laker's feelings, as well as my own. Of the*!three Lake r losjes, two were by five points or less. g*We're beating ourselves", commented head basketballcoach Dave Markey, during a recent interview. "We'replaying very inconsistent?basketball, with the exception ofthe Geneva ga me" . i $The problems Coach Markey had [to deal with in recentwe?r r a n f r o m * ir y u r i e s to poor shooting. Nothing CoachMarkey said surprised me. What he said about the teamwas common knowledge. "The team should ha ve done this,and they didn't do that" and "if this happened* this mightnot have. ." If this sounds like an excuse or a runaround, it'snot. In fact, it's everything thathnakes up a basketballteam. The problems a re commortfl've seen the same fromhigh school to the pros. -| -\ uYet still students say! "Well if they'd do this, that would ?happen. Or if they didn't do that, this might have happened". Some times the students sound like the coach andhis players. $' * Though Markey adm its the team itself has played in-consistently, he did point out that if there was a consistentplayer on the team it would ha ve to be Paul Young. "Pa ulYoung is probably the most consistent player on the teambut even Paul admits he doesn't always give his forty**?minute best". i t 5With 5 wins and 6 losses, the coach, team and student bodyremain optimistic for the rest of the season or it can be saidthat both team; and student? body remain ^consistently inconsistent, i - .
