Fraternities An Sororities! iExplained1B y 'Hurst! Student

Dear Students; '§By now some of you are aware

that there is an attempt beingmade at Mercyhurst College toestablish fraternities andsororities.a However, you mightnot I be aware of what theseorganizations are or what is re-quired to join them. h

Fraternities fare divided intothree types: academic, social,and service. Academic frater-nities are co-educationalorganizations formed to discussissues relevant to the major ofthe students in the fraternity.Students are appointed to thesefraternities based on their gradepoint average.;Service frater-nities are male organizations for-mulated to work together on ser-vice projects. Social fraternitiesare on campus. Although servicefraternities are mainly concern-ed with philanthropy they do holdsocial affairs on occasion. In ad-

dition, social fraternities par-ticipate in service projects.£ Service sororities are femaleorganizations concerned withcommunity activities. Socialsororities are'concerned withstimulating social relations.These sororities participate in anoccasional activity of the other,

type of sorority, f.Requirements for the frater-nities and sororities differ. Thefirst step to join a z Greekorganization is to pledge to thatorganization. A student writes aletter describing how he/she feelsthey meet the academic, leader-s h i p a n d p e r s o n a l i t ycharacteristics of the fraterni-ty/sorority. The students shouldalso include names of any friendsor relatives who are alumnimembers of the fraternity-sorority.y- i a T

The second step is rush week.This involves meeting with nre-

sent mem bers! of the fraterni-ty/sorority at parties. The pro-spective member is evaluated onhow well they relate to people.The alumni members then choosewho will become members of thefraternity/sorority. The numberof students chosen is based on theratio of present members in the

fratern ity/soro rity to tota l; stu-dent population. jjfr.If the system were installed at

Mercyhurst, a colony would ex-ist. A colony is the branch of thenational chapter. For example,Delta Chi is a national chapterbut Delta Chi at California StateUniversity is a colony. Thechapter buys or rents the frater-nity/sorority house. The chaptercollects payment for living inthese quarters which is the sameprice as dormitory living. Mealsare usually provided for in thehouse. These houses a re usuallysupervised by one or more house

Sects and Cults

Reverend Sun Myung MoonAnd The Moon MythBy Dr. George Garrelts ••>

The Rev. Sun Myung Moon, thedriving force behind the Unifica-tion Church - and its variousassociate corporations, was bornin northwest Korea in 1920. Hewas raised in a family that joineda Pentecostal-type Presbyterianchurch when he was ten. It isreported that at age sixteen hehad a vision of God that he, SunMyung Moon, should restore theKingdom of God on eart h. Moonkept this message to himself forten years but in 1946 he began topreach*it.* When the Japanesewere ousted from Korea in 1945,at the end of World War II, andthe demands of emperor worshipwhich had been imposed by theJapanese removed,-Koreansociety saw the rapid emergenceof a number of groups thatfeatured J charism atic founderswith messianic or ? propheticclaims and "blends of Confu-cian, folk, and Christian tradi-tions." (Bromley and Shupe,1979, p.37). It was in this Koreanclimate that Moon's preachingand his formation of the Unifica-tion Church developed. It wasagainst this background that theMoon mythology was formed. %:ujjjlt is said that Moon was im-prisoned several times by theCommunists around 1946 and 1948because of the agitation he caus-ed among the Korean people byhis preaching. It is also said thathe encountered considerable dif-

(marr iage), if someone commitssin, it's completely hopeless.Even Father has nothing to dowith salvation then." (Sudo, asquoted in Bromley and Shupe,*1979, p. 103)

In 1953-54 Moon left NorthKorea and went to Pusan w herehe formed the Holy SpiritAssociation for the Unification ofWorld Christianity with some ofhis followers. In 1959 he sent Ms.Young Kim and David S.C. Kimto the United S tates as .mis -sionaries. They met w ith limitedsuccess but in the process of theirmission they developed bettertranslations of the Unification bi-ble, ' , the Divine Princ iple(presumedly a transcription oforal U nification teaching ofMoon- no author's name appears on thebook), and learned more aboutwho ca n ; be attracted to theUnification Church. J j£

In the 1970s they switched theirefforts to campusesas a result ofthe realization that they werehaving most of their successamong the young. In 1971 Moonhimself came?to America andbegan to centralize and tightenup the movement. Moon, in themeantime, had married again in1960.> (His first recorded mar-riage was in 1940). The weddingdate in 1960 has become an im-portant feast in the Unification'Church, along with Moon's birth-day, the anniversary of hisrelease from Communis! prison—

(cleansing of the blood), a prac-tice which allegedly entitled himto cleanse each female convertby haying sexual relations withher.. (Moonies in America, by IBromley and Shupe, 1979, pp.48-49). T * *• f m

What is certain is that Moon isnow unalterably opposed to Com-munists, and that hisofficial posi-tion in this country concerningsex for his jjdi scipl esl ispuritanical^Thosewho engage insex outside of marriage have lit-tle chance for salvation. Bromleyand Shupe quote Sudo, an impor-tant workshop J leader3 of theUnification Movement, as sayingthat "If you commit fornicationafter joining* the UnificationChurch, it lis ••terrible. It is abetrayal against the Lord of theSecond Advent and against TrueParents ?! . .After the blessing

Moon's vision is of One WorldFamily with all of its membersunited to God and to each other.Toward that end the Unificationmyth authorizes Moon andUnification officials to choosemates forits members and)towitness or bless their m arriagesin large groups. This aspect,more than any otherf for me,

demonstratesk

the power of theUnification myth. Moon and Mrs.Moon as the True Parents areunderstood by youthful disciplesto have the power from God todetermine > all phases of theirmarital present and future. It isthis doctrine of the new and thetrue family which has led manyparents to hire deprogrammerslike Ted Patrick to attempt thereclamation of their £ childrenfrom their identification with theUnification Church.

This is the last of the series ofarticles on Cults and Sects. Ithink the Rev. Sun Myung Moonand the myth of the Divine Prin-ciple has brought us full circle. Ifone looks closely at that DivinePrinciple, one can find in itsomething of each of the groups Ihave discussed.

The vision of Moon reminds meof the vision of Ann Lee in whichshe was commissioned to be thenew Messiah and in which shediscovers, as Moon does, that

copulation in the Garden of Edenis the root of all evil. According tothe Divine Principle the sexualfaculty should only be exercisednow under the supervision of theTrue Father and in the TrueFamily. Strong emphasis is plac-ed on marriage and procreation,on the role of the prophet inchoosing mates for the elect, onmaking certain everyone is mar-ried, ala Brigham Young. JudgeRutherford singled ou t : theestablished churches as thesource of the demonic. For Moonthe demonic isJust as decisivelylocated in the Communist Par ty.Business ventures are integratedinto church structures*in theUnification system in ways thatremind one of the Black Muslimapproaches. The Moon myth isnot a myth for all seasons but it is

a strong and compelling story formany, one which will be morelikely to yield to a better storythan to the Equus-like negativityof deprogramming. £*L- l";

The College Perspective

Life After Fall TermA Startling Reality

By Bonnie Jam esComing back to school after the

fall term can be a startling ex-perience. Not only is the weatherdifferent, but many othe r innova-tions and rearrangements in thedorm itories and campusfacilities have taken place. Thisprocess of change is obviously adeliberate move in psychology onthe college's part to add to thes t u d e n t s ' o v e r a l l g r o w t hexperiences.

Take Jim, for instance. Jimcomes from a small suburbanhome on the Eastern seaboard.His r. financial statu s is : middleclass; he has two sisters and oneother brother and his hobbies areskiing and listening to pro-gressive rock. Jim walked intohis bare, cold dorm room (minusone roommate who had not yetreturned) to find that the wallshad apparently shrunken.

"Gee", he said, "I don'tremember it being this small."

Jim does not have hallucina-tions or perceptual disabilities.The fact of the matter is thatevery college collapses its dor-matory walls after each fall termto economize on space for incom-ing second-term freshmen andtransfers. It then expands therooms again in the summer inorder to clean before the newacademic year begins. Studentsshouldn't be so alarmed;Jhis is"StynTlaVd procedure^ m

Numbers have a habit of in-creasing, also. I'm speaking, par-ticulaly, of the numbers that aremarked upon the., referencematerials used for classes in theBookstore. There is more difficul-ty than m ere adjustment involv-ed in this change, however. Onemust supply the equal amount ofmonetary value as is marked innumbers on the

preferencematerials in order to own them.Ownership of these materialsfacilitates work and study duringthe term. f§ Frank, Jim's roommate, notic-ed the remarkable upsurgance ofbook prices. He became concern-ed, however, when the sum of thenumerical values marked on hischosen books exceeded the ac-cumulation of dollar bills in hispossession.

"Is it OK if I write you a checkfor these?" Frank asked thecashier. c-« -'••:••{ S

"Certainly.*%she replied, "ButI need two forms of I.D."t

"What! I. never had to showI.D. before. In fact, I don't ownmore than one." e i

"Sorry, new college policy. Weneed identification so that we can

document all checks accuratelyin the computer system they've

just installed.""Oh."Frank left without his requi

research materials and returnto his room bewildered.

When Jim walked in (he hbeen scouting out his classesmake sure noone had rearrangthe room numbers - Jim w as gting wise to the process) Frawas crouched on the floor withelbows on the bed and is headhis hands.

"I can't take it any moJim," he wailed

"What," said Jim, "the fthat they moved the washer adryer to the basement, or that troom shrunk?"

"All of it." said Frank. "Dyou know that now they requtwo forms of I.D. in the bookstobefore you can write a ch eck?

"Yeah," said Jim, "I heaabout it when I went to try outnew computer system they've stalled. I guess they're introding us to change."

' But I've just gotten used to place." .

"I'll bet that's the point thouFrank. You can't bank anything staying the s ame . Lowhat happened in Poland."^

"Sure, but at least they weretheir own homes. This is like ing in an institution." zL. Jr

Xou could always go hom

it; but then you'd have to masome decisions about what youlike to do in your life differfrom going to college.''

f'You mean I'd have to maanother change? Forget it:,Trather stay around here and hasomeone make the decisions me. That way I only have to acept them -•! don't have to mthem AND accept them."

* "Suit yourself," said Jim.still say it's just an exercise in justment. Hey, do you want toto dinner?'' i' $f^'But it'sjonly 3:30.|The caisn't open yet."

"Sure" it lis; the times waltered to accommodate the dner hour for the new restaurathey've bought." *£

"Well then, I guess so. Wshould probably try to get thebefore the crowd hits. Hey Jido you think that with all thechanges they might reverse tdirection of the prices on tin the library and decrease thebynext term? " { f g "I doubt it. Frank. The collehasn't ever done that before."

I'Yeah, well! I guess I can stheir reasoning. You do need

keep SOME stability arouhere."

aWarm And Praetical

ilrilWinter Weather 'By .Beth Gjebre, Vis i t ingColumnist ' <

During the cold winter monthsin Erie, one has a wide variety ofcasual apparel to choose from.The designer sweatsuit is a bigfad which has hit the area. Sweat-suits come in various colors andhave designer names such asSergio Valentie, Sassoon, andJordache. These suits are com-fortable and seem to fit almostany | occasion. With a few ac-cessories, they could be fancyenough for a night out on thetown. They also are nice for jogg-ing or any other physical activity,

Another type of winter casualdress is the crewneck, Shetlandwool sweater and pr intedturtleneck. Many of today'ssweaters are monogrammed invarious colors. The turtleneckscome in prints from ducks andstrawberries, to balloons. The

sweaters are worth the invest-ment and the turtlenecks arepractical and inexpensive. Somepeople are wearing scarves of dif-ferent t Tartan plaids. Thesescarves add dimension to thesweater-turtleneck set. They alsoare practical to wear under acoat. Most of the sweater-

turtleneck, scarf sets are coor-dinated with jeans or corduroys.r:.-:The feet have to be kept warmand yet comfortable in thisweather. Duck |shoes ar e finfashion and come in colors frombrown to lime green. These areflat, and water repellent, and arelined to add extra warmth. Theduck shoes are most effective incold and wet weather. As far astraction on the ice - be careful.The duck shoes can be worn withjeans or cords and even withdressier outfits. (Rememberanything goes.) s mHffrarr*

Title IX R e d e f i n e s

Student Loan Eligibilityby John Broderick

Many students at Mercyhurstand other colleges and univer-sities have a common grip whenthey make that dreaded visit tothe Financial Aid office in the fall- "What do you mean that's allyou can do for me J ", p£

Most students attending a col-lege for the purpose of receivingan undergradu ate- degree (ofsome kind) find that getting thefunds needed from the college orthe Government can be extreme-ly frustrating. Fortunately forstudents, a law was passed in 1965called Title IV or the EducationAct. Title IV has recently beenamended into a new law, Title*IX, which redefines the specificobjectives of Title IV regardingstudent eligibility for loans.|&5 In 1965, Mrs. Green of Oregonsubmitted to the committee onEducation and Labor a document(HR9567) iwhich stressed "thestrengthening of the educationalresources: of our colleges anduniversities and to provide finan-cial assistance for students inpost secondary andhigher educa-tion." The bill itself, Section 2.Section 428 (a) (2) of the HigherEducation Act of 1965 was passedby the 85th Congress JonNovember 8 to be a law. | 1 |

The law reads: 2A - Each stu-dent qualifying for an interestpayment-loan shall haver (I)Provided to the lender a statmentfrom the eligible institution, atwhich the student has been ac-

ted for enrollment or a t whichesujuennsinattendance and

making satisfactory progress (asdetermined by such an institu-tion), which, (1) | sets forthestimated cost of attendanceand,(11) sets forth ^estimatedfinancial assistance, and,^(ill)meets requirements of B. £

(B) A student shall qualify if

adjusted family income is (a)less than or equal to $25 thousandor (b) is greater than $25 thou-sand and the eligible institutionhas provided the lender a state-ment showing a determination ofneed andrecommending a loan inthe amount oof such a need

A student's estimated cost of

attendance means, for the periodin which the loan is sought, the in-stitution and fees applicable tosuch a student together with theinstitution's estimate of other ex-penses reasonably related to at-tendance at such an institution,including, but not limited to, thecost of room'and board ,reasonable transportation costsand costs for books and supplies,pursuant to regulations prescrib-ed by the Secretary. ";' ;;* Also, any student not perform-ing satisfactorily will have $15thousand struck out of his loan.

In 1981 Senator Robert T. Staf-ford introduced a bill to amendTitle IV of the Higher EducationAct of 1965. It was redefining Ti-tle IV to emphasize the elementof need in the now ? presentGuaranteed Student Loan pro-gram and the direct student loanprogram. :-" •''*

The bill, which is now a law,was passed May 5,1981 and em-phasizes the term need. The ma-jor change consisted of an in-crease in the adjusted family in-come and the striking out of loansjust because the student was per-forming poorly. £* vjSjl

s\ons; mriHerCHviinnearra lot inthe basic principles of studentloans. However, the overall pic-ture is slightly more bleak nowthat President Reagan h as allow-ed the individual states toallocate the Government funds,and this leads to more or less fun-ding for the individual colleges.

puses are marking the newyear on a -new, somewhatl ibidinous form of en-trepreneurial spirit: Pin-upstyle calendars featuring fullcolor photos of scantily-cladcampus beauties, available inboth male and f emaleversions.

Ambit ious s tudents atvarious campuses are m akinga nifty profit from the newcalendar craze, with salesrunning into the thousands ofdollars for several of thepublications. But not everyoneis rushing out to buy the time-ly novelties, and one collegehas even issued a resolutioncondemning the calendars as"sexist."

i Todd Headlee, a businessmajor at Arizona State, takescredit for starting the fadwhen he debuted his "1981Men of ASU" calendar lastJanuary. Headlee says he sold

over 3000 calendars the firstweek they were released. *-*> "For 21 years at ASU therewas a girls' calendar put outby one of the Fraternities,"Headlee recalls. "But it wasnever really marketed untillast -Christmas when theycame iout with jjthe sslogan'Gils;of*ASU make greatChristmas gifts^_That's when

-JLacame*up -with-xthe -ideaiofcoming out with a men'scalendar." « i , « £

Headlees's 1981 calendar us-ed p ictures of "really attrac-tive" male students at ASU,featuring a different model for

each month of the year. "Butthey were all fully clothed,"Headlee quickly adds notingthe photos were "donetastefully and professionally,in no way pornographic."

Since the ASU calendar hitthe bookstores, dozens of othercampuses have picked up theidea.

At Michigan State, studentscan choose ' The Men of MSUCalendar," which featuresbare-chested, "clean-cut"male students in a variety ofposes, or the newly released"Women of MSU," whichshows a "cross section" of at-tractive women clad in swim-suits and low-cut dresses.

Marty Karabees, a MSUsenior in industrial design,concocted the "Men of MSUCalendar" af ter seeingHeadlee's ASU calendar. "^ "The calendar is a productof the eighties," Karabeessays, "not something that

could have happened fiveyears ago." The 13 studentspictured are a "great group ofguys, not ju st goodlooking, butpeople too." i ^ >,

FromTheBeanstalk

By J. Be&aer

£ Before I attempt my first col-umn of the year I'd like to saythat no matter what the postseason football polls say, PermState had a great year and should

be number l. Not to take anythingawayi, from Clemson (becausethey had a great season anddeserve all the recognition theygot) but Perin State snowed us allwhat kind of team they were bydemolishing the University ofPittsburgh and then corralingMarcus Allen and the USC Tro-jans in the-Fiesta Bowl. PennState had a championship yearand they deserve a number oneranking. So here it comes,straight from the Beanstalk theofficial Beanstalk Top 5. \ "k

No.il. Penn State. As I saidbefore, they're great and thefolks at State College should beproud. They're much better thanany other Pennsylvania team .^ No. 2. Clemson. The Tigers hada good season and they normally

wouldbe

number one if it weren'tforP.S.U. 5 ! a &?No. 3. Texas. The Longhorns

showed us alot by beating BearBryant's boys and deserve all thecredit we can give them.jc'rfjffi£

No. 4. S.M.U. Nobody eve r sawthem play on T.V. and because ofthe fact they were on probationthey didn't get to go to a bowlgame. So what if they broke some

cules__were made to bebroken.

No. 5. Pittsburgh. Sorry Fitz,but Georgia should have beatenthem. They are a good team butthey don't have my respect.Besides any team that let's PennState score 48 points, after grabb-ing a 14-0 lead has someproblems. -

Lakers Finish TheOld Year At 4-5... The m en's basketball teamcontinued play through finalsweek and of this writing sports a4-5 record. Way back when theLak ers opened home playagainst Alliance College with a68-46 victory, the gam e was com-pletely dominated by the Lakersas they shut down the Eagles' big

man Harold Mong. Jon Berkleyled the Lakers with 13 points andTom Frank pulled down 8 boards.

Next the Lakers traveled toClarion to participate in theClarion Tournament. In the firstgame the Lakers took on hostClarion. The Lakers played wellin the first half. In the second halfthey had trouble attackingClarion's 1-3-1 zone and they feuapart, losing 83-70/ BobbyBlackwell led the Lakers with 18points and John Green con-tributed 15 first-half points.

In the consolation game theLakers came back to defeat Quin-napiac 74-68. John Green scored24 to lead: the 'Hurst, andBlackwell and Eric Peek con-tributed key free-throws to sealthe win. Assistant- coach NickUrzetta remarked that he felt it

was "the best game we've playedso far." Another bright point wasthe fact that John Green wasnamed to the all-tournament

team. ivi %^After the Clarion Tourney the

Lakers continued on the road asthey met Slippery Rock. TheLakers came out on the short endof the scoreboard 78-60. The first

half went well as the 'Hurst held athree-point advantage as the halfended. In the second half theRockets came out and shot 67 percent from the field and theLakers lost their poise and suf-fered a break-down due to inex-perience. John Green led the'Hurst with 16 markers.

The next game for the Lakerswas a good one as they regroupedto beat Coppin State 80-72. Urzet-ta commented that the teamplayed "very well." Sixth manRodney Coffield along with DaveMarshall played a big role inbuilding a six-point half ime lead.In the second half junior TomFrank played a big role as theLakers went on to a 12- point vic-tory. Senior Bobby Blackwell ledall 'Hurst scorers with 21 points.

Finally the Lakers took on rivalEdinboro. The first half went wellas the Lakers went to the lockerroom down by two. Again in thesecond half the Lakers shot poor-ly from the field and thanks toESC's Ed Wright, who scored acareer high 29 points, the 'Hurstwent down the d rain 70-62.

The Lakers have been practic-ing throughout the holidays andhope to get back on the winningtrack Saturday as they travel toPitt-Johnstown. The team is ingood health now and CoachKalbaugh stated, "We aredeveloping depth in the bench."This should come in handy nextweek as the men begin the newyear. ..^it^.^, ... 1 . ^
