Calendar Proposal Rejected;No Alternat ives! In Sight IDr. John J. Millar, dean of thecollege, has decided to drop anyplans to change the currentcalendar to a 4-3-3. This decisioncame in response to the AcademicPolicies Committee unanimousrejection of the proposal at ameeting held last Thursday in thefaculty lounge. |K * gThe proposal, which called forthe elimination of intersessionand the implementation of a four-course, 13-week fall term, wasviewed as a short-term cure withno long-term benefits for thecollege. *fc: Jg fey"To try to change the calendarto meet new programs at thispoint is too rushed," said ThomasTeeters, chairman of the businessdivision. Citing the need for someeffective long-range planning,Teeters went on to say that "Thecollege has to start developingalternatives, not for this comingfall but -the next."*

Dr. Igor Stalsky, head of thetheatre department, concurredwith Teeters in his evaluation ofthe calendar proposal, Com-menting on the current 3-1-3-3academic calendar, Stalsky saidthat it had "outlived" "outlivedthe usefulness it had during the

Blueprint I era". Particularlyineffective, he felt| was in-tersession which he stated was"not working." 1The student evaluation, con-ducted by the MSG, showed th at agreater than two to one | ratiopreferred the calendar currentlyin operation. Sixty-seven percen tof the 640 students surveyedpreferred the 3-1-3-3 calendar asopposed to 27.1 percent of thestudents who felt a change wasneeded. Five percent of thosestudents polled had no opinion.S While the; seven* committeemembers were unanimous intheir evaluation of the proposal,there was no consensus con-cerning the need for change.Questioning the* need to ch angethe current academic calendar,Thomas Billingsley, Director ofInstitutional Planning andResearch said "I' m not convincedthat intersession is going to fallthrough. I believe we have to sitdown and assess the need tochange." t ,% |The committee shortlythereafter decided unanimouslyto recommend that furtherresearch be done on the variouscalendar options available to thecollege. j g fProxmire Tabbed As!

Party Of Four, PleaseIn a little less than three weeksst udents will be swimming amidstcampaign posters, slogans andspeeches as the MercyhurstStudent' Government holds itsannual election of student of-ficers. At this time approximately12 candidates will attempt to sellthemselves to the students fa srepresentatives of student needs.While this is an excellent op-portunity for students to serve thecollege, there is a flaw to theprocess \ that makes it highlyinefficient. The flaw is the in-dividual campaigning of can-didates. As a student presidententers office, she-he does so witht hree other officers that may notshare any of the executive of-ficer's, or each others', ob-jectives, j fRarely has an officer refused toserve because the other officersdo not fit his-her particular sty le.It may also be justified - thatadapting to others can be a greatLetter IFormer Student Defends TheDear Editor:In response to a recent articleabout Way International whichappeared in the Merciad, Ibelieve I can add more in-formation and clarify some of thefacts mentioned. Last year I.was a student at this college,*and in my heart I y earned as all*men do, for the truth. I wantedto know God, to know the Bible,and" to be able to^appry God's*-word in my life? I have foundmy answers, by God's grace,and with the help of the Way)Ministry. :^\The way International is aBiblical research and teachingMinistry. It is neither a "Cult"nor a church. I truly believe, as doall those associated with thisministry, that the Bible is the onlyacceptable standard of truth. Thetraditions and | creeds of "or-thodox"'religons are fine, butthey mean nothing if they do notline up with what the Word of Godsays. Man with his feeble mindhas managed to come up withwhat hundreds upon hundreds ofreligions, who all claim to be thet r u t h . D e n o m i n a t i o n a lChristianity has succeded insplitting up the church of God,which is supposed to be onebodyd Cor. 12:12,13) into dozensand dozens of bodies. Is it possiblethat "Orthodox" Christianityscrewed up?J- The basic "Creed" of the Way isthat "The Word of God is the willof God." The King James Ver-sion, Revised Standard Version,and countless others are alltranslations and versions of theoriginal "God Breathed" word,and so we must research if weexpect to get past- the humanerror of the translators. Men and

growing experience. However, inattempting to serve the students'needs, some additional factorsmust be looked at.Adapting takestime.Whether itbe two days or two months, thereis the issue of transition thatmakes individual campaigning aburden. Student officers h ave l essthan a year to serve their con-stituents. It only makes sense,therefore, that time be takenbefore the election to establishsome shared objectives so that amaxim um can be achieved in thecourse of the following academicyear. y. iOpinion here has it thatpotential student politiciansshould consider running in partiesof four for two reason s. First, theparties could form collectiveplatforms before entering office(hat would save the time offiguring out objectives afterelection. Second, the team effortseems more collegial anddemocratic. It's food for thought.

Way' *women of*thejWay have beenresearching ancient texts of theGreek, Aramaic, and Hebrewlanguages for over 37 years, andthe research continues today. Wedon't claim to know all the an-swe rs! nor do we expect to learnthem all, but we deal with theWord iv honestly, with outpreconcieved ^ notions ortraditions. T'? :j: "As Tor" the sin cer ity of thefollowers of the Way, I feel I canspeak for all. We have a genuinedesire to help people, and we arebold to go out and speak what webelieve is the truth, even iforganized Christianity gets of-fended by what we say. When wasthe last time you got excitedenough about Jesus Christ to goout and tell a perfect strangerabout what he did for you? Welllet me tell you, I've seen peoplehealed, and I've seen miracles,and I've seen my whole lifechange. I am currently servingone year as an Ambassador forthe Lord Jesus Christ, and I havesomething to teach people thatcan change their lives. It is theWord of God. ( *I don't expect the churches towelcome us with open arms, nordo I expect the press to give usfront page headlines for all thedeliverance people have recievedin their lives. But I do expect tolive my life without un-dueharassment because I don'tbelieve what you believe. This is afree country, and each man isentitled to freely choose what tobelieve.

Speaking on topicsranging from 50 cent gas taxationto gun control, Anderson let thepublic know where he stood onsome very volatile issues.Compare this with Republicanopposition such as Reagan, thelast post-pilgrim to quote JohnWinthrop, Bush, a strong ad-vocate of sweet nothings, and thealso-rans who are still rehearsingtheir script,: and one findsAnderson's no-nonsense frontal tobe a refreshing change of pace.Anderson has found a niche inpresidential politics that wasformerly inhabited by placerssuch as Adlai Stevenson andGeorge Mc,Govern JBA is thecollegians' -, choice. DenouncingCarter's draft registration plan,calling for gun control andfavoring public funding ofabortion, Anderson has steppedinto the role of the 'Pepsi''dential ca ndidate of the 8Q's.On jthe elder * front, Andersonhas been turning some heads aswell, f His cries & for tax cuts,federal budgets cuts and billspreventing oil oligopolies haveplaced him in good stead with the

grass roots.The biggest problem that .thisliberal maverick faces is his ownparty. Consensus has it that hiselephant hide is,fitting limplyover what appears to be a donkeysilhouette. He is not a con-

ventional company man andbecause he isn't, chances are slimt hat he will enter Detroit with the998 delegates necessary to get theRepublican nod.Anderson is undaunted,however, as he maintains hisviability as the Republican GOPcandidate. With Reagan alreadyhaving a third of the delegatesnecessary to get the Republicannomination, Anderson might bewise to read the writing on thewall. The writing does not saythat he should forsake any hopesof ascending to the presidency,but rather that there are a largenumber of frustrated Democrats,independents and colleg e studentsthat may be substantial enough topush a third candidate to the topof the heap.

Shecontinued, "I see myself as aprofessional teacher. I have tostay on top of what I'm teachingfor there is always new researchin Behavioral Science." Commenting on Mercyhurst asa learning institution Lavinstated, "A definite pro for Mer-cyhurst is that it has proven it isresilient, it's hung on.
