e t t ers t oTo the Editor, l m p * . ;J2?.Several weeks ago while having dinner wjtivsomefriends, I was ta ctless enough to refer to the, Merciadhi verv negative terms. W hen it was b rought to myattention that one of those present was your ne wseditor. I of course stopped my verbal attach of thepaper and tried to get my foot out of m y mouth an dback under the table. | & t l i . j ^Since that night, ijhave been more opep-mindedabout the paper as I read it eac h week. Now I m ustadmit - especially to you, Olivia - that the {root pag eof theM erciad has b een greatly improved this year, .Th e articles a re, on the whole, better written and onm ore varying and interesting subjects thajn; in.pastyears. In my opinion you and your staff hav^done anexcellent job this year . M s* rf *\i In past weeks, the editorial page has also im proved, with the M erciad editor taxing a icbupleofI irm stands. iOmtfUnfortunately thereps still the back page to dealwith. This page can also be identified as thebasketball-baseball page. I Y es, M ercyhurst haspurchased a fine basketball team and the papershould report their gam es and I'm sure thefbaseballteam is very ex cited and about their playoif chances .But didn't I hear som ething about a golf team and asoccer club, and what's all th is talk ab out some of ourmen and women rowing in long boats? I a lsorem em ber a ch am pionship team at the 'Hurst, onethat was fifth last year. I see no evidence of.any ofthese team s existing on your sports. |* - IThere is lust one m ore little thing; one-naif of thetotal athletic department (adm ittedly not one-half ofthe bud get): wom en's sports. I wa s present seve ralm onths ag o when the M erciad sports editor boastedthat he did everything he could to keep women sportsarticles off "his" pag e. T his kind of prejudice shouldnot be tolerated on the staff of a college newspaperthat c laim s to be the "V oice of th e 'Hurst.1" I stronglyurge a change in attitude on the sports^page duringthe upcoming 76-'77 year. J t ^w.Than ks to this yea r's excellent editor, news editorand their staff, the M erciad now speak s Intelligen tlyfor all other|aspects of the, college comm unity.Please, when you plan next year's Merciad Jmakesure it also speaks justly. Intelligently, and equallyfor all our athletes. %p f vThank you.Connie McMilHn !To the Editor, jI would like to take tim e to thank a ll those studen tswho supported m e for President* S pecial thanks g o tothose who helped me with my signs and to PaulYoung who was my unofficial campaign manager.Without you people I would have never made it.I'm looking forward to next ye ar with gre at an*ticipatioruYou hav e chosen some v ery f ine off icersan a with them I think we're in for a good y ear. We al lhave a lot of good ideas but nothing can get doneunless we work together on them. I hope to see m orepeople at Student Governm ent m eeting s, bothme mbe rs and non-mem bers.

T h e E d i t o rf O A * 4 (i .UA*+vb**4*Last week the studen ts of M ercy hurst College wentto the polls to elect candidates for student government. I ' I*: Be cause of the elec tion the interior of M ercyhurstha d taken on a new appearance. T he week precedingelections, signs stating the usual slogan "Vote ForM e" had b een g laring in the e ye s of passe, s-bypossibly swaying their voting decisions.

I d l e E d i t o r\De a r Ms. McMlllin,To say the least I was not pleased to rece ive yoilrletter concerning the sports page . First of all , I'venever boasted about keeping women off the R|K)HSpage. I do, however, h ave priorities. W hen it com esto va rsity sports, I naturally g ive preference to men'ssports. Why? Because the sports I've covered tlvi fjfyear are scholarship sports, sports in which yolr*lmoney is being invested. As far as I know, women s ( isports* do not function on a scholarship basis, Wha\Lwe've reported are as many of the sports as possible. K\Second, I'd like to tell you wh y I've not covered the tother sports such as tennis, crew, and golf, M sM cM lll in, m eet m y sports staff: Terry K e ll y and me ,Yes. there are just two of us, two people who you fqelshould cov er five varsity sports, women's sports, 6H*and yes, intramurals. I've been working on Th$M ercia d every week since the*paper began in Sep*tember. Te l l ! m e, how m any a rtic les havejyouwritten? If you think the sports page is not up to p r,then I hav e an idea Here s your chance to get a by-.line,; te | - fFor the rest of the y ear, why don't you try to coyerfive sports? If you should som ehow succeed , theny^umay nave my job for next year. | ^Be side being sports editor I am a student, May Ialso say that I do note get paid for fth is Job. lido itbecause I enjoy working for the paper. |; 'Students are great-when it com es to putting TheMerciad down, mitthow many of those students areinvolved in anything? I feel that If a person is ab le'toput this paper down he m ust really b elieve t hat he' fo rshe can do a b etter job.

To the Ed itor: ! | I ? j*I would like to announce to anyone who m ay hav ebeen interested that!the Course Evaluation booklethas been can cel led for this year. In many c lasses weonly received a 10 per cent response, a percentagethat would have been unfair to base any sort ofdefinitive conclusions on^ I still believe that thisproject: would b e a trem end ous serv ice to bothstudents and faculty; unfortunately, not too manypeople ag reed with m e, (or worse), had no opinionone way or another,I I It is* now up to the new Mercyhurst StudentGovernment as to whether|the|proJect will be attempted again or mot. Mercyhurst needs such abooklet, and sinc e we now know what our m istakesare, I think next years attempt would be very successful. '?*1 would like to (hank the students who worked v eryhard on trying to publish this evaluation booklet. Iwould also like to thank the instructors and studen tswho did cooperate with the staff. M ost of all I wouldlike to thank Jeff Sternlieb for^being the facultyadvisor on the project and who actually began thewhole organization.Sincerely,Rosem ary 0 . Durkln

the signs: the force of determ ination of every candidate. You were depriving not only the cand idatesbut consequently our student government. Mercy*hurst needs student involvement and competitiverace s such a s those for student governm ent positionspromote ac tivity. Can you hindcf the progress of ourstudent governm ent and feel justified in your actions? If so, your sense of judgment is completelywarped.
