Over one-hundred volunteers, a m ajority of them education majors, calledIrish-Americans throughout the country this past week to gather input for asurvey dealing with their ethnicbackground. Two thousand surveys were sent topeople of Irish descent living Fin theUnited States to find out if they wouldbe willing to assist in a project wh ichwould help the economic developmentof Ireland. The purpose of the survey,according to Mercyhurst College President D r. William P . Garvey, "is to ch eckthe level of support of the Irish-Americans living in this cou ntry."The whole project started, accordingto an article in the "Erie Daily Times"which appeared on February 17, whenPaddy Harte, a member* of the IrishParliament, stopped off in Erie in Mayof 1984 on a tour of the United States.Harte spoke at the "Good Morn n^ oiid"*breaKt ast sene* TaPMerey iorSHe was very Impressed with the college and also with the city of Erie.Back in Ireland, Harte prepared a bil lfor Parliament that included economicdeve lopmen t he lp f r om I r i s h -Americans. Harte decided to use Mercyhurst 1 College ' as the means todiscover how much of an interest theIrish-Americans had in names of ten thou |sand] Irish-Americans living in theUnited States from a marketing firmgTwo thousand of these names wererandomly s elected and letters explaining the survey (along with a copy of thesurvey Itself) were sent to thesepeople. D r . Garvey and Brian McHugh.direc-tor of the education department, spentSix days in Dublin, Ireland, returninghome to Erie dn February 4. In Dublin,they discussed plans to attempt to interest Irish-Americans in helping outthe needy people in Ireland.Why was the survey done over thephone? "That was the fastest a n d mostdirect way of contacting the greatestamount of people," Dr. Garvey said.There'would also have been less of aresponse if the survey had been donecompletely by mall. ^ *^McHugh said, the responses gotmore and more positive each night.Like the Phonathon . ail Information oh?VAcc ording to Dr.? Garvey, "Theresults will be forwarded to the Irishgovernment {for analy sis." The Irish(government will then determine whatrole, if any, the college w ill play in thefuture of the project. "We w ill probablybe a part of a national coalition of people 'interested In helping Ireland,"Garvey said. - ;Dr. Garvey commented, "Thestudents did an excellent job."

SongeriEDITOR'S NOTE: Thefollowing is the second andfinal installment of an interview conducted with Mer-cyhurst Student GovernmentPresident, Patrick Songer. IWhat was|the most controversial issue or issues ofthe year? |f That's tough Maybe .thealcohol policy, but that wasn'treally a proposal and that wasall scuttlebutt.put if you takethose three issues away (yearbook, Capital Campaign,calendar),you've taken away alot of the controversial subjects. That was about it, therereally hasn't' been anythingearthshaking. |There have been a few minorcomplaints. O ne that comes tomind is one that w e just handled, the pet proposal. And also,

the few complaints we I getperiodically from residentsand that dealing with washersand dryers, etc. Those werereally nuisance factors, notmajor controversial issues.^'^ | I'm not going to go out andconduct a survey to see if weshould have two washers andjdryer^n ever^ apftltofintaJf*you*take away those three, ifhas really been amediocreyear, controversial-wise. Thathas attributed to our low attendance, too.* There's not a lotgoing on besides those three.You've given a lot of MSGachievements, what aboutsome of the weaknesses thatyou've felt have come up thisyear?I'll {break t h is d o w n :weaknesses, in what; we'vedone, weaknesses: in -thegovernment, weaknesses inwhat we could have done. -Weaknesses in the government, I see, are really the lossof, you can call it the awe, therespect of; student government. Freshmen? electionsreally discouraged me.When I was a freshman, I'dsay somewhere between sixand seven people ran and itwas an intense campaign.They had campaign literature,they went door-to-door, andthey made something of it andthree freshmen were elected. Ithink it adds a lot to MSG tohave that many people interested In It.

year as MSG Pres ident{This year's freshmen elections - I didn't see one campaign poster or anything fromthese and four people ran,three were elected. They'regood representa tives! but Ithink the intensity was lost.That discourages me. Intenis-ty, not just in the freshmen,but in some of the representative posts too.It's coming down to a pointwhere I'm afraid that Mer-cyhurst Student Governmentis on its way down, possibly orwe just may be jn a lull. I'mhoping that we're in a lull hereand thatf in future governments the students take muchmore of an interested part in itbecause we do control |purfunds. I mean, Garvey doesn'tcome down and say, "Spendthis, spend this, spend this."

W e control tour j funds. Wedisemburse where we need it.W e choose activities. - |I don't know if the studentsrealize the fact that they reallyset proposals and they reallyset activities themselves. It'snot some edict from abovethat says, "Yes this will happen pfl sygft aiui suqfi ,a flfltgrrniThbplngHhat nt'^mlsifif6P"mation, but if it | is apathytowards ^student government,that's I what I'm probablydiscouraged about the most.As for the government itse lf,I've really been discouraged,not discouraged, perhaps-dismayed, at^ the fact thatthere really hasn't been a lot ofproposals broughten off thefloor. The three major proposals, were really] self-initiated by the officers and bya few other people. t |There have really not been alot of proposals off; the floor.Or in other words, reps bringing proposals down and say*ing, "We have this idea for...."The Video Room was a proposal off the floor. The recreation equipment and theAcademic Honesties wasbrought in off the floor. I reallyhaven't jfseen a lot j of rep-brought literature and that'sp r o b a b l y t h e m a i nweaknesses I've seen ingovernment this year. Maybeit's due to the fact that thereisn't a whole lot to do, maybeIt's not. i ' 2

It's been a slow year andthere hasn't been a lot of complaints. And also the government of the past year has accomplished a lot or it may justbe a disinterest by therepresentatives. I'm | hopingthat it's the first choice, ratherthan?the last. That's been aweakness,in< that f again thatmaybe in my mind only, in thatI'm seeing government as being run in the years I've been Init. I'm not necessarily sayingthat this is ineffective. Thegovernment's accomplished alot this iyear. But* that's* myperception of what a goodgovernment is. That's how Iperceive that weakness. Lowrepresentative accomplishment in that sense. \What are your wishes forthe future of student governm e n t ? ! ^ I f *I hope student governmentalways respects the amount ofauthority that it does I have.W ith this respect there is acertain amount of responsibili-tyr When you have this responsibility, you have responsibility of being a good ^governing yourmoney^carefully, pfo-perly, holding proper elections, whatever; that's standard democracy and also, seeing that your committees andexpenditures are not wastfuland are not exorbenant, andare really not to the pointwhere somebody says, nHey,you can't trust these people."Through the years studentgovernment has evolved from

basically anadministrative-rungovernment into,wheresit's astudent-run government.We're a viable!;entity byourselves. W e're 4 student jgovernment land we setbudgets and we'll set policiesin student government. W ewrite our own constitution andwe'll j adhere by it. Student |government at Mercyhurst has |a lot of power and a lot more *power than other governmentsat other universitites have andI think that's in part due to theadministration in letting ushave that power, but they'velet us have that powerbecause we don't;'abuse it.And also because we use itcorrectly.* I ijf-I mean if you come to a ;point j where we, start doingcrazy expenditures or wedevote $40,000 to a nuclearfreeze thing and have*no activities they're going to hosethat i faith in us. If I had amessage -for future govern-1ments it would a always be %know where your constituency 1is, fin that the I majority of 1students don't \ care * about Pdon't care about these radical topics. They are]more concerned about what are they going to do on the weekends orwhat services you can providefor them. You should go moretoward fulfilling that needthan the highly philosophicalor radical need in that somepeople say that studentgovernment hasn't^ takenl on *the important' issue... hasn't

taken ton the nucear freezissue, etc. I don't see that as t u d e n t {government 'objective. I S B J 2\W e're here to provide oppotunity ! for students to makdecisions on their own. We'rnot here to mold their decsion. In other wordsfjTm vercareful when I put the studeng o v e r n m e n t ! n am e Ioanything. Say I came out ifavor of banning all nucleaweapons and I could run around student governmenand try and force the studeninto doing something like thaBut I would rather be puttinmy energies into somethinthat is actually more beneficito the entire student body annot just philosophical. I'mmore practical minded thanam insightful. I deal more inpractical sense. i 3W hat are your goals for th

remainder of the year?G e t S p e c i a l [Projectthrough without loosing oushirts on it. That's the firsgoal that S comes to minbecause I'm working on it rignow.! g B m i f15 Goals for the rest of the yewould be to smoothly transfepoweMo the new officers, trun elections and hope that lot people go aftertthe officepositions.
