Notes From.Florence

As the First Semester d raws toa close, we are'in a position toevaluate our* program. It hasbeen the most stimulatingartexperience of our lives. Justliving in Floren ce isa never-to-be-forgotten experience, but tohavethe opportunity to study under

instructors internationallyjknownfor the excellence of theirwork

gives the whole program anotherdimension. For instance, thedrawing, the painting, thesculpture teachers have hadlarge hard back, well illustratedbooks published extolling theirworks and listing theirexhibitions: London, Paris,Rome. Madrid, New York City,e t c . Saks £ Fifth Avenue hasengaged one of our ceramicteachers to work exclusively forthem! I i |^ The Second Semester courseswill be devoted mostly to crafts:metal, wood, weaving, etc. Thesecourses, also, are taught by well-known Florentine Mas ters |an dprogrammed especially for theMercyhurst junior AbroadGroup. £ji

Added to these stimulatingexperiences we have traveled toSiena, P isa, ^Luc ca, SanGimignano, Ravenna, Padua,Ferrara, Arezzo, and Venice tostudy the great churches,paintings, and sculpture of thosecities. Eas ter week w ill find u s inRome—the EternalCity—wherein our brief stay we shall try toassimilate as? much a s possiblethe grea t; civilizations thatflourished ther e: Pagan, EarlyChristian, and the HighRenaissance. We shall spend a

The Student Union is dyingwhether you realize it or not.•Those of you who have come tothe union in the past to relieveyourselves of the boredom oflifeat Mercyhurst by relaxing oversome music and a game of pool,may soon find? these servicescurtailed^ unless you becomeinvolvedn o w. I> Let's look at the facts. In order

for the Student-Union to be open,someone must be present to take

care ofth e equipment. Last term,there was someone present toprovide these services; enablingthe Union to be open from 8 a.m.to 2 a.m. every day, a total of 126hours per week. *

Twelve students were employed for this purpose. Thisterm, due to a"lack of funds,"the number of paid studentemployes has been reduced to 6.This would necessitate reducingthe number of hours to a total of62 hours per week (under

w o r k s t u d y l i m i t a t i o n s ) .However, I'm sure you*11 noticethat the union has been maintaining"business as usual** sincethis term began. Well, judgingfrom the above facts, I'm surethis burning question has embedded itself in your mind—"How the hell can it?** For yourealize a lot of the students ownunpaid time which was given tJassure the services of the unionnot b e curtailed.

Now, just who is this goodsamaritan? The answer unfortunately is me, Chuck Hayes.And I cant afford to do it muchlonger, either physically, mentally or emotionally. Now thatI've played themartyrrrlet's ge tdown to it.

I've been involved intimatelywith the union since September,and I think it ha s vet toget off theground. It 's been stagnantwallowing in the mire of incompetency. And this dearfriends, 'is what has caused thepresent fiasco..but, with a littlehelp from you. the peopletheunion serves ,w e can get theunionon its feet and off its ass.It youcare. If y ou want a place tog o forrecreation andentertainment* oncampus, make yourself known.

Come to a meeting on Monday,January 17 ,at 7 p.m. in the union.At that time alternatives to aninefficient faculty run- union willbe discussed. 'YOU CAN KEEPTHE UNION OPEN ! •*

ENRICHMENT PROGRAMThe Mercyhurst College

Enrichment Program is an undertaking of the College, Student,Faculty and Community who areinterested in an educationalchallenge. W hat they aredoing isworking toward educationalenrichment of area High Schoolstudents. It is their belief that anintegrated educational ex

perience is received only whenstudents and college take anactive position in this community's educational needs. Byencouraging both high school andcollege students to participate intheir own education, they couldturn the classroom into where it'sat—a "field of action" andbelieve it or not, they could studyeagerly and learn prodigiouslyfor the best ofall reasons.Who is involved |

The Enrichment Program isdirected f to students with thepotential for further education,who are* having specificacademic problems. Thesestudents are identified as they

enter the tenth grade, they arethen asked to participate in theprogram. The volunteers workwith these students individuallyuntil they graduate. Each participating student shows an interest, talents, and abilities incertain are as, such as Art, Music,Math, English and Science. Thevolunteer student* and facultymembers of the college help inevery way? possible to developthese interests. The students arealso involved in college, community and cultural events which-they might not otherwise participate in.

Objectivesand GoalsI. To motivate the students to

the highest level possible.Forexample, if a student: is* interested in music, maybe hecould learn to play an instrument

a. &or he would ' be interested in

learning a certain area of music.He could make a musical Instrument of his own out of woodor clay.

2. To create • an atmospherewhere the student!will enjoylearning, a situation In whicheach participant Is allowed toprogress at his own rate on a one-to-onebasis which Is Invaluable.

3. To establish a friendshipbetween volunteer and student.The volunteer lets the studentknow that he Is there to help andthat he cares.Outcome

By motivating students in theirareas of interest MCEP hope thatthey will come to appreciate howimp ortan t!' and worthwhileeducation*really is. The MCEPhope: to encourage to create,explore .and discover newavenues in their other academicstudies,*This is not like a tutorialprogram where the student whois uninterested in a subject isforced to learn it and afterlearning it, he forgets it.VolunteersThe MCEP volunteers farefaculty advisors, sophomores,juniors and seniors majoring inthe areas that* are taught in theprogram. They are actively involved in volunteering theirservices, opinions and ideas indealing withithese students.Their rewards are *thesatisfaction of knowing that theyare needed and that the studentsdepend on them. This is in itselfmore worthwhile than anythingelse. |

What we need arej more interested students: and faculty tovolunteer for participation in ourprograms. So if "you want thesatisfaction of doing somethingworthwhile* and you are interested in doing your part to turnlearning in to the "happening'1, a"field of action". Plea se contact:Ken Harris, Baldwin Hall.

WEIGERTNAMED ICHAIRMAN

William P. Garvey, Dean of theCollege, announces the appointment of Doctor BarbaraWeigertj as Chairman of theOlvislon of Education. Dr.W elgert joined the Mercyhurst

faculty In September, 1965 after a7-year affiliation as a classroomteacher with the Erie City School

ftftfift

DR. BARBARA WEIGERT

Dist rict In 1968, Miss W elgert,who holds a B.S.ffom Villa MariaCollegeand an M.E.D. from PennState, entered Ohio Universitywhere "she served as a teachingassistant while! pursuring doctoral studies in ElementaryEducation. W hile there, sheserved as reading consultant tothe Athens County PublicSchools, the Lancaster, OhioPublie Schools, and the State ofOhio Early Childhood EducationProject. Dr. W eigert iwasawarded a Ph. D.* in ElementaryEducation in June, 1971, andreturned to Mercyhurst for thefall 1971 term. ^\

Fed ? ContinueR eform Efforts

W hile the recent riot at AtticaState Prison and subsequentdeaths of 42 inmates and guardshas focused public? attention on"correctional institutions," thefederal government increased itsattack on the "prison reformproblem" back in 1969.

"The American system forcorrecting and rehabilitatingcriminals presents a convincingcase of failure."SPresident Nixonsaid on Nov.£|3, I960, when heordered Attorney General John

• Mitchell to implement a>new,13-point program to improve thecorrections system. "A nation a sresourceful as ours should nottolerate a record of such futility."I The most dramatic result of the

Nixon order was 'last* year'saddition to the 1968 Safe StreetsAct to provide more fundsto stateand local corrections systems.The Administration-proposedamendment was sponsored bySen. Roman Hruskaf (R-Nebr.).ranking minority member on theSenate Judiciary Committee.

Th e increase? ini moneyavailable for improving thephysical facilities and modernizing rehabilitation programsillustrates how fast the government has moved /' I \ 7Fiscal Year Corrections Budget

19 9 $ 3 million

1970 60million1971 ; 175 million1 9 7 2 ^ 1 * 250 million1973 f'"* 300 million

These funds now representmore than 35 percent of the totalspent by the Law EnforcementAssis tance Adminis t ra t ion(LEAA), the principal federalagency for funding state andlocal corrections; in 1969 thefigure was 4.8 percent. The restof LEAA's 1972 $698 millionbudget goes to such areas aspolice education, juvenile

- delinquen cy ^programs, andstreamlining court systems.

flfi- Unders the 1968 law thaiestablished LEAA, statesreceived funds through- blockgrants on a 50-50 basis . TheNixon Administration* addition tothis law, known as"Part E," setup discretionary '• grants- specifically for corrections, towhich sta tesmust contribute only25 percent of the cost/J f S

Part E funds in 1971 paid more* attention to community^programs than any other^priority; youth services, halfway

houses and group or foster hom esled the $34 million budget in thiscategory. ^ * f I 3| In terms of improving thephysical conditions of prisons,LEAA**Administrator JerrisLeonard reiterated after Mtticathe federal government's refusalto fund "more fortress prisonswhere prisoners are locked away

and forgotten.*'ji 'In . fact,I LEAA has turneddown several requests for moneyto build such outmoded in

stitutions," Leonard said.To help solve the problem

LEAA ini the last two yearsgranted the University of Illinoisand the University of Pennsylvania a total i of j.$250,000 todesign new models for prisons ofthe future. States received morethan $20 million in fiscal 1971 toremodel and build their jails—$5millionmore than in fiscal 1970.*

Finally, the Administration hasencouraged citizen support fornew efforts to upgrade corrections programs. £

•'None of our ^vocationaleducation programs, our work-release efforts, our ^halfwayhouses, or our probation sy stems

will succeed if the community isunwilling to extend a new opportunity," President Nixon saidin his 1969 order to Mitchell. "Ifwe turn our back on the s ex-convict, thenI we should not t besurprised if he again turns hisback on us." ,v

BullGrand Open!Party

And Youth K SWith the Republican convention

only eight months away GOPNational Committee* ChairmanBob Dole has no doubts that it willopen and will involve youth.

"Ever since our first convention in I8S6 we have beenreforming the Republican Partyto keep abreast of the expansionof the electorate,'* the KansasSenator said in an interview."Today we are moving towardregularizing youth participationin the party." Wt JBB

Dole pointed: out* that J theprimary source of new ideas toinvolve youth in the GOP (whathe likes to call the "Grand OpenParty") is the DO Committee—for Delegatesand Organizations, f i

"This 16-member panel —made up equally of national

committeemen, and commit teewomen — was authorizedby the 1968 convention to lookover the rules and procedures ofgoverning the party »at J alllevels.," Dole explained. "Inpassing, you might compare ourreform committee with theDemocrats', which had less thanone-third women members. TheDO Committee's recommendations will be acted upon atthe San Diego convention, starting August21,and those adoptedwill be fully in force for theconvention four years later." Hesaid that the convention can onlybe changed by another. "On theother hand the Democrats canchange theirs through theirnational committee, and thus be

influenced by one candidate'spreferences."

"What are tihe DOfJCommittee'srecofnmendatlons so far?

"The most far reaching ideaput forth by the DO Committee,**Dole said, "is that voters under 25should be represented on statedelegations 'in numerical equityto their voting stength*within the

states. That means l that f ifCalifornia has 15 per cent of itspopulation between IK and 25then IS per cent of California'sdelegationshould be under 25.• *

He noted that * the Democrats*'•guidelines*S only requirerepresentation by youth "inrelationship to their presence inthe population ofthe State.** I

"While |our I recommendationhas not been made binding on thestates, several have alreadymoved to get as many youth included in their delegations aspossible," Dole said."Minnesotaand Illinois are examples thatquickly cometo mind.'* 1

Dole went on to outline furtherexamples of how theGOP is goingto increase participation in theconventionby all segments of theparty.tHBF K K |I "For theI women the GOPmoved long ago to ensure thatthey were represented equally onconvention committees," he said."The DC) Committee wants to gofurther and require—as much aspossible—equal representation atthe convention byJ men andw o m e n . * ' * S B H j y g jB

He pointed out that the GOPhas never recognized the "unitrule" by which a delegation mustcast all its! votes for'one candidate, J regardless of individualpreferences by delegates. "Thisprohibition is so strenuously en-tor eed that one delegate can askfor a roll*call of his delegation,stopping the entire conventionproceedings. Note that theDemorcrats settle roll calls offthe convention floor, away.fromthe public eye." jL * j ^

1 'M believe we are movingtoward greater opportunity foryouth and others to participate inthe party generally and theconvention specifically," Dolesaid, "as we do this we must alsolet them know they are- bothwelcomeand needed. •

SEEKING SPOUSE?Seeking a spouse? W here in the

world to go? v

Surprisingly, and! desp itefrequent commentary to thecontrary, you might try*stayingat home. The marriage,rate inthe United States hasrisen 26 percent in the last decade, accordingto a recently released study, oninternational marriage trends byMetropolitan Life InsuranceCompany.'Last year, the UnitedStates recorded 10.6 marriagesper 1,000 population, compared toa record low of 8.4 in1961, andnow has the highest rate*in theworld.

N e v e r t h e l e s s , n o t eMetropolitan Life's statisticians,although the United Statesrankshigh, our neighbor to the north,Canada, might also be a good bet.In the past seven years alone,Canadian marriages increasedmore than 27 per cent, with theannual number of marriagesreaching new highs in each of thelast three years.

Indeed, all of the Englishspeaking, countries around theworld are reporting increases inmarriage. Another example isAustralia, which recorded a-riseof 524.3 per cent in the pastdecade .j

Puerto Rico's marriage rate isalso high j paralleling that of theUnited States and Canada—10.5per 1,000 population, or a15.4 per

cent increase.European *areas showeddiverse "marriage trends.According-to Metropolitan^ Life

the marriage rate for the periodbetween 1960-64 and 1969 (or 1970

where available), increased in 10countries, decreased in 11, andshowed little change in Denmarkand Yugoslavia. A journey to theNetherlands, where thenewly wed rate of increase is thehighest in all ofEurope—19.8 percent—might prove successful.Bulgaria, on the other hand,might be less promising, for itrecorded the lowest rate of increase in all Europe—4.8 percent£ i

iAnd trips to Romania aandSweden, where the rate ofmarriages decreased by 25.8 and25.i per cent respectively, shouldprobably be scratched from theitinerary entirely this year.Sweden reported the lowest rateof marriage in all of Europe lastyear—5.3 per I ,WMK populationcompared with an annualaverage of 7.1 in 1960-64. TheSovietUnion's current marriagerate of 9.7 per 1,000 population isthe highest of any Europeannation, but represents only aslight upswing following severalyears of a downward trend there,the statisticians note. 3

As for the Middle East andAsia, only Israel and Japan havereported complete marriagestatistics for the past 10 years.Israel's rate ?of increase—thehighest of ^ any j country

reviewed—is a startling 32.9 percent, while Japan is a relativelylow 3.1 per c en t,, concludedMetropolitan Life's study $

Undoubtedly the last ten yearshave done much to advance anddefine the professional status ofwomen. New doors have been setajar an d o ld doors set wider open.

This has been due, considerablyto the reaction from theprofessional hospital i t ies extended during the war; andwomen who worked shoulder toshoulder with men arediscovering that the masculineshoulder may be coldly turned Ina selfish, jealous manner.

Al though women have ad-vanced into professionalbeginners; and that the prospectof marriage! makes themf ashifting and undependable laborsupply. | |

Perhaps one of the greatestadvantages of women enteringthe? business world ispsycho logical. W omen confront

the difficulties of a situation witha freshness and disinterestednessthey are unhampered by oldprofessional , poli t ical , andbus iness en tanglements , bycatchwords and conventions thatclog thinking and impede action.

In 1910 the percentage

(Cont inued f rom Page5)t o o , I considered, that wh ile minewere black \ pumps, and just a

trifle more stylish, they were nodifferent from any others as faras the fitting w as concerned.

I paid the clerk and hastenedfrom the store, eager toge t home 'and put on the new shoes.

The first day I walked down.Main Street, painfully conscious.of the black, flashing leather,encasing my feet, thrill after;thrill of pride surged within me.iOut of the corners of my eyes Ifcould see that special crowd oftgirls who live on Park Avenuer

eyeing my feet as I daintily ckick-c la eked down the v cement. Theywere probably envying me and

thinking to themselves that for alltheir wealth, they hadt< not mytaste in selecting foot-wear. I w ascertain that they were vowing intheir hearts that; the next pair ofshoes to be put on their feetshould be black, patent-leatherpumps. -

After a week of constant wearand admiration, however, my

gpumps began to take on a jadedhlook. Imoticed that the right heel

was slightly run over and wouldha ve to? be attended to immediately.^ I . |

At the end of two weeks, I waswholly accustomed to them andn o longer eyeing them as I walkedto and from school, or across thestreet to Nancy's.

And J now, after^ two month's Iconstant usage,?I have come tohate those black pumps.It's sad,bultrue. They have begun to bagand flap dreadfully at the sides,and it takes all the energy withwhich I can double up my toes tokeep them from falling off. Theglossy finish is gone, and thathard section between the heel andthe sole has lost its stiffening,causing them to sag in the centerand give the impression that I amguilty of having flat feet. Flat feetol all things!

But worst of all. I'm beginningto think that the g|lrls are getting

groupings of women in thevarious occupations classifiedunder professional service,showed that eighty percent of theteachers and ninety two percent

of the nurses in the United Stateswere women; in the social service line women were likewise inthe majority. In art, music,dancing, * library work, andfounders of charitable and penalinstitutions the percentage was 3to 1 in favor of women . From 1910until the present day women h aveentered almost every kind ofprofession; there are womenlawyers, women bankers, etc., allhaving responsible positions andmeeting to full extent , thenumerous qualifications requiredby various positions. And howhave the mascul ine e lementaccepted this advancement? Themajority of them consider it anopen challengearid have resolvedto combine their efforts in formerprestige.

You SecondClass Citizen

The increasing mobility thatsociety has attained hasin recentyears led to the creation of a newtype of second-class citizen: the* *sta te non-resident.J'

This is aperson w ho livesin thestate but is denied some of theservicesthat th e state offers to itscitizens V An example of this isPennsylvania's policy of stateresident' s tuition subsidy.

The state always has its handsout when it comes to collectingtaxes and registration fees.However, when the time comesfor sharing of state services, suchas welfare, m edical care or stateuniversity tuition, suddenly wehear that these services areavailable only to "residents'*."Residency" is denied by the

State Legislature and a ridiculousdouble subsidy.For I the purpose of tax

collection o n ebecomes a residentas soon as he crosses the stateline. Upon entering a state youare now immediately subject tostate a n d property taxes. As soonas *you find employment, youmust pay the state tax, and after30 days,yo u must pay automobileregistration fees.

However, try to get welfare,me dical; assistance, unemployment compensation or foodstamps and you find you mustwait :iu days, 60 days, o r ayear, k

pumps. Just the other day, whencomingdown the corridor I heardone of them m ake a remark to afriend standing near, and thenpoint in my direction,>whether atmy feet or at all of me, I am notsure. W hereupon they bothlaughed, which ;leads me tobelieve that m y feet were the realobjects of ridicule; for reallythere is nothing about the rest ofme which would cause suchmirth, unless It might be theabsurd cow-lick I haveover?myright eye, which |was inheritedfrom my grandfather on mymother's side.

At any rate, the pumps arealmost worn out, but what hurtsme most is that they have been

I For example, a person enteringthis state must first work for ayear at a non-university jobbefore they receiveth e benefits ofa state tuition subsidy, failing tod o this they become non-residentsof every state in the union. Theymay vote, pay property taxes andautomobile registration fees, butthey continue to pay out-of-statetui tion r a tes. !8p « ^ . 3 P H B|g A veteran from out of staterece ives federal^ educationalbenefits of $175 per month butmust jpay tuition at th e J rate of$245 per month.}This includes aman who if is born, raised Sandeducated through high school inPennsylvania and after hismilitary discharge, lives out of

state for a short period of time.The sexist portions of the lawa re even more absurd. If marriedcouple enters Pennsylvania andhe goes to school' while sheworks, they must continue to payout-of-state tuition for as long ashe goes to school. If,on the otherhand, she goes to school and heworks they pay residents tuitionfor her after the first year. Thisstems from | the ancient notionthat a man's wife is his propertyand therefore her residency isbased on where sheworks only.

Further, a$ working women,who has graduated from iaPennsylvania high >school and ismarried to a m an who is an out-of-state sutdent must payout-of-state tuition if she decides tocontinue her education. Thus it ispossible to lose residency withoutsetting a foot outsideth e state! j *

This is true only for women. Ifan out-of-state woman marriesstate man, she gains not only ahusband but an in-state tuitionsubsidy. V

Educationally, these residencylaws lead jto an academicprovincialism which shortchanges students, faculties, andunive rsities. A*, universitybecomes dominated withmembers of a small*geographicregion, and other ideas land

Over fifty years ago the firstpeople to be ruled under acommunist state were subjectedto the dictates of less than tenpercent of their country'spopulation. The country" wasR ussia, and under the communistgovernment the people lost all thefreedom that they had gainedduring the ten previous years.(The Russian people gained morefreedom from the RussianGovernment in 1905 by arevolution against the Czar.)Ever since then the citizens of theSoviet Union have been forced todo whatever the government hasordered them to do. The Russianpeople werejnot the only unfortunate people to lose theirfreedom. The communist of theworld, with their orders comingfrom Moscow, have launched thegreatest atta ck on democracythat the world has lever seen.During the period1917 -1967, thecommunists gained control ofmany former democracticnations, among them $ were theEastern European countries,China, Cuba, North Korea andNorth Vietnam. But this is onlythe start of what the comm unistswant. The communists of todaywill not be totally satisfied untilthe • world isJ under communistcontrol. The communist of todaywould like nothing b etter than to

willing tosell-out the people andthe freedom of theentire? AsianContinent to the communists.BesidesUhe people of SoutheastAsia, the following factors mustalso be taken into consideration.?*

The loss of South Vietnam tothe communists would mea n thatthe balance of power would swayto the Communist bloc. It wouldprovidei:the J communistsI morebases to strike out from. It wouldendanger many otherI nations,notably Australia. It would give agreat thrust to the morale ofcommunists throughout*5theworld.^The United^States andmany other free countries wouldlose a valuable trading center.These facts, along with manyothers, are partially the. reasonwe should stay inVietnam.

The main reason the UnitedSt? t stay in Vietnam is topi * . £-freedom of the peopleof dat Asia. Many peopleask wi.j does it have to be theUnited States who must play thepart of"Big Brother'*? It is noteasy to simplify the answer butthe fact remains that^no othercountrycan afford to intervene in

THESTATE OF THEUNION^Vhen th e Mercyhurst cof

feehouse,called the WatermelonBallroom was opened in September of 1970, it was welcomedby jthe college community as awhole for its potential to developinto a place where first rateentertainment could; be had on

I campus. Last year it operatedcompletely under student control, and experienced]a year ofnps an d downs, both in entertainment, student enthusiasm,and student government support

and co-operation. Th e Ballroomhad to endure|a lot of growingpains.? as its inexperiencedstudent directors strived to tapthis potential, necessarily failingat times an d succeeding atothers. This year, they returnedto th e campus with a bit of experience an d professionalknowledge under their belts,along with an attitude ofrededicationjto provide the bestin diverse entertainment to thecollege community throughth evehicle of the W atermelonBallroom. -'

However, th e students soonfound themselves unemployed,for it was decided by the powers-

that-be that the Ballroom and thestudent union itself wouldJbeplaced under "professional"management, in the guise of onePhillip Herring, a new addition tothe Mercyhurst faculty, whowaspresented as a man with experience in the field of providingcolleg e entertainm ent. One of hisfirst changes Jwas to,deny j theformer student directors an yassociation^whatever with thedirection of the Ballroom, citingwhat Mr. Herring termed ttheir•Incompetency" of the past year,and a "bad attitude" towardshim. dismissing their personaldedication and hard-earnedknowledge of the Erie music

scene in terms ofC good localperformers * an d , | theiravailability.

B y 6.T. B a r r o n

In effect, Mr. Herring chose torun his own show. In the October29,1971edition of the Merciad,hewas characterized as a man withgreat plans for the W atermelonBallroom. So far this year, noneof those reported "plans'* havebeen translated Into reality, andin my opinion, judging fromMr.Herring's performance, hisprofessionalitystill remains to bedemonstrated.

•

Let's examine a few cases.

Exactly what has Phil Herringdone with the coffeehouse? Ha she provided a-diversity offperformers to the campuspopulation? As evidenced byhi sfixation first term with IssacAaron, in which they providedmusic at every function in theunion for a solid month, the answer is . no. The samephenomenon is now developingwith Eddy C and th e Bees. HasMr. Herring done his Ibest tolocate 4new sources of talent?And how about the quality oftalent? Also where was Mr.Herring first *term? Since hereceives a salary * for this post,shouldn't? h is presence be

required! at th e coffeehouse atleast occasionally during th eperformances? This behaviordoes not seem to reflect th e"enthusiasm" an d "pride" thatMr.| Herring is reported topossess. What abouta variety ofentertainment? If you don'tparticularly care for Beer Blasts,Halloween parties, or high school"hops" in the student union, Mr.Herring has very little to offery o u . Where are all the one-actexperimental plays he promisedto provide? Surely th e man'simagination is not that limited.^Also, what has he done to remedypoor attendance in the Union?W hy has outside advertising beenneglected? Certainly if theW atermelon Ballroom had areputation Iwhich equalled Jits

potential, getting peopleto comewouldbe no problem. $

- The coffeehouse's financesar ealsoa good topic for examination.

During the first term, performers were upset because theysometimes^had to wait a weekbefore | they receivedremuneration for their services.This is professional? What doesthe coffeehouse haveto show forthe thousands of dollars alreadyspent this year? W ell, it appears,approximate :t0 tapes, a hundred

dollar tape deck, and j anotheroffice for Mr. Herring (healready has one in the LittleTheater) are the only improvements visible. W hycouldn't the!arch by the snackbar have been closed and thestage, moved to the center of thecoffeehousewith these funds? ^

What about th e currentfinancial predicament of theUnion in general? It seems thatthe Union will now only be able toopen 7 hours a day, since a fewstudents first term were told thatthey had to work in the Unionfortheir financial assistance, when,in actuality, their form of aid didnot require it. *~ Understandably,these students aren't workingthere any more. jSo far this term,Mr. Herring has relied on ChuckHayes alone to fill the gapcreated by the missing studenthelp by spending 12 hours of hisown time to keep the Union open.Is this fair t o Chuck?

Student Government shouldalso be brought to task for theirhandling of the funds for theUnion. At a meeting Tuesdaynight, 30 minutes was spent indiscussion about buying a colortelevision for fthe Union. W honeeds a|color television when thepiano in the coffeehouse for theuse of performers is antiquatedand untuned? Chuck Hayes,who

was present, didn't even have thetime to tell them that that services of the Union will soonbecurtailed, A classic case of fid

dling while Rome burns, fig •&To give credit where credit is

due, I'd like to say that PhilHerring has brought some entertainment to the Unionfor the students. Unfortunately,the nature of *it has been athrowback to the days whenMr.Herring himself was incollege-aheavy emphasiso n beer drinkinglate 50'x-early 60's type dances inthe Union. Is this really what themature student of the 70's seeksin entertainment? If s o ,fine, but,

for the sake of the college ingeneral, and the coffeehouse inparticular, I hope not. It wouldseem that if' the quality of theentertainment is to be improved,control of the coffeehouse should"be returned totally to the studentswho know* musi c and the Eriemusic scene, and can make th eBallroom into the showcase it hasthe potential to b e .

This article was not meant tobe vindictive. It was only meantto praise questions-questionswhich should an d must be answered if the coffeehouse is evergoing to rise out of its presentstagnancy. Until these questionsar e answered,}l( you want to see

how a real coffeehouse is run, andhear quality entertainment at thesame time, why not go toGannon's Strawberry{ Fields^ coffeehouse? ^ For a change, youwon't be disappointed.I(Editor's Note: See letters to Ed."Student Raps U nion.")

E dHiggins a n d his wife,Mary Lou* w ho are both full timegmembers; in the department.They came to Mercyhurst fromMansfield* State College whereboth taught in the Art Department there. Prior t o their being atMansfield,they taught at ViterboCollege in W isconsin.New also tothe Division and the departmentis the Chairman of the Divisionand Director*of the Art Component, Joseph Pizza t I '&< _

Some changes that are" underdiscussion in the Art 5component

the studio lab fee on specificcourses. This will be inauguratedin th e winter term.

4 . Open Studio Policy: Basedupon past experience, it hasbecome necessary this year tocontrol the studio usage beyondclass time. This is being done bythe use of student monitors fromeach of the course offerings thisterm under the direction of eachinstructor. Along with thismonitor system, we have instituted the temporary andpermanent pass system for thosestudents who want to use thefacilities beyond Art Class time.The permanent pass Is for astudent who would like to use aspecific studio for the entireterm. This pass must be shown tothe Security Guard or our ownstudent monitors. The temporarypass is for a person who wouldlike to use a studio for a limitedtime for a given day only. Theseare to be given out by the individual instructors or theDepartmental Chairman.

5. The Arts Council: The ArtsCouncil is in the^ process ofplanning their program for thecoming year. Membership is opento all students in any area of the

C e r a m i c s I L a b- Z u r n H a l l

§ specifically areas follows:1. Curriculum Revision: The

IArt* staff selected and studentsare inthe process of revising andre-defining the?goals of the Artdepartment. It is* the staff'sdesire that the Art'departmentafford the student more art options in Art courses andstrengthen the Art educationsequence. We would also like toencourage dual majors with otherdisciplines. A Creative Artsmajor would be a n exciting one toexplore. ^ ^

2. Grading: The Art com ponentof the Division of Creative Artsha salready begn implementationon alimmted scare of the competency performance evaluationsystem for some courses. Thisisin place of the traditional lettergrades. At this time the recordingsystem for this performance-comptency method is the pass-fail. It ishoped that a new systemeliminating the pass-foil conceptwill be adopted by the Artcomponent with^permission andapproval of the Senate and theCurrriculum |Committee4 It haslong been the contention of manycreative art people-that tMtraditional grading system ofA BC is a hindrance to the creativePotential and^ the ^imaginationswhich are so important to the[development of the* fullestPotential of peoples. In'essence,the compe tency-eva lua t ionsystem eliminates the kind ofwise competition!and pressurefor grades, -t

3- Student I Lab Fees: It isnecessary for the Art departmentto consider charging lab fees forspecific studio courses inwhieh

its are furnished certa insupplies and use small tools andequipment to be replaced after agj i d f ti h

Arts, not just the Visual andPlastic arts. You are all encouraged to attend their nextmeeting. Mr. Daniel Burke is theFaculty adviser for I theorganization. Rich Ohman iris incharge. •'£

6. Student Art Major ActivityRecord:^We have devised areference sheet* for each artstudent to be kept in his or hersadvisor's folder.

It iswise that this record be kept upto date for your advisor who inturn can use the information towrite letters of recommendationfor you during your stay here at

Mercyhurst. Obtain them fromyour advisor. *|

7. Policy on Collecting StudentArt W ork: Many institutions ofhigher learning establish andmaintain a permanent collectionMercyhurst is discussing such apolicy.

8. Student Representation: Inall of these changes or proposedchanges, the Arts staff feel that itis important to have studentsinvolved in our discussions. Wehave all talked to our studentsinformally about things that aregoing on or have talked to individuals in our offices, but wefeel that it is important all artstudents know what is happening.For this reason, each class haselectedan A rt representative andan alternate representatives andInvited and encouraged to attendall the art Faculty meetings, atwhich time they can bringstudent ideas and comments tou s.

The Art ClubW ants You! 1

Most artists seem to enjoysharing the fruits of their laborwith others by:" placing {them ondisplay for others to viewancjA>rexperience. Recently, a new

organization > has appeared atMercyhurst whose- purpose is toshare th e products of their effortsin an 2 effort tot "further theaesthetic4* education off theMercyhurst j student". TheMercyhurstj Students' ArtsCouncil, which*was., formed lastyear by a few art m ajors, has thepotential of becoming a veryproductive and lastingorganization o n campus.v This year th e council has grownand/ upon the ratification of itsconstitution, in afew weeks it willbe an t official campusorganisation. According to thePresident of the Council. RichOhman. the members of theCouncil hope to promote the artsin both the city and at Mercyhurst. Although at the presenttime the only members %are artmajors, the membership is opento the faculty and students; Themedia dealt with will involveallart forms, not only the visualarts. This means that membersare needed to represent themusicw department, the dramadepartment and the otherdepartment on campus (thosewith a n interest in creative arts).

Said Rich Ohman: "One of the

reasons the MS AC was formedlast year a n d w h ystudents shouldjoin now is that asla collectiveunit we can acquire m aterials notavailable to the individual". Hewent on to say that with a largermembeship there would be morepeople thinking of things for therest of the community. At thepresent, .there are a limitedamount of ideas because of thesmall membership.

Some of tne activities meMSAC hopes to present are: atrip to a Major art* gallery inFebruary, a beer blast at sometime in the furture, and an ArteW eek. y

T he Arts Week would be a weekfilled withj-various art presentations. The hope is that, for anentire week, the membership ofthe council (which should includemusicians, actors, dancers,writers, and other artists) will bepresenting their specific artforms throughout th e campus.

Rich felt that in time theMSACcould arrange and control ail thecultural "activites on campus.However, un less the :rest of theschool takes an interest in thecouncil, the factivities it, canpresent willb e very limited.

Anyone interested r in thecouncil should contact RichOhman for * membership or forfurther information. 1

\

NOTE: To date, PBS (WQLN,Ch 54 in Erie) hat broadcast twosegments of "The Six W ives ofHenry VIII."* which appears on

Sunday * evenings at nine.Although CBS aired the BBCseries during the summer, eachshow! lost fourteen minutes tocommercials. This currentshowing gains from the historical

^background with which AlistairCooke introduces each segment

'"The Six Wives of Henry VIII"presents excellence in one of itsrare television' appearances. Allthe performers infuse realismand spirit into the characters ofHenry's court and the scriptsdramatize with authenticity bythe intrigue and politics whichinfluenced and were influencedby the monarch's relations withhis wives. "

In a highly impressive performance. Annette Crosbie

portrays Catherine of Aragon,the proud Spanish princess whomHenry marries on the wish ofhisfather. Henry* s request for adivorce, after many years of agood marriage, greatly affectsthe queen*s emotions and health.N e v e r t h e l e s s , C a t h e r i n eresponds rwith rem arkablestrength and courage byrefusing. under repeatedpressure, to sign the papersrelinquishing her title as queenand her daughter Mary's rightsas heir to the throne. *

Ann Boleyn, usually consideredas an \alluring and irreverentvillian,-emerges as a woman ofdepth and sensitivity throughDorothy Tutin's dynamic performance. As Henry exposes the

cruel aspect of his nature to hissecond queen, she begins to fearhim and erroneously blamesherself for Catherine's sufferingthrough the divorce.i A group within the court which

includes the ambitious ThomasCromwell and Anne's jealoussister-in-law. Lady Rochford,provide justification for Henry's

Germany. Energetically portrayed^ by Elvi Hale, Annechallenges the sovereign in. aprogram that emphasizes thecomedy of.this match of pride,ingenuity,and stubborness.

After the divorceIwith Anne,Henry, now 49, marries the.18-year-old Catherine of Howard.Angela Pleasence imaginativelypresents the beautiful, deceptive,bold woman who weds Henry togratify her vanity and to acquirethe wealth and servants of herposition. Disillusioned with theking, Catherine chooses a loverwhom she meets with the aid ofLady Rochford. The scheme isdiscovered and Henry reluctantlysends Catherine to the Tower forexecution.

A year later, |Catherine Parr,acting onn the persuasion of theambitious man fshe loves,Thomas Seymour, agrees? tobecome Henry's sixth1 wife.Rosalie Crutchly gives a fineperformance as the gentle,manipulated woman whobecomes * suspect of religiousheresy. Surviving Henry, theembittered Catherine againdecides to pla ce; the nation's*welfare before her own and somarries Thomas in hopes of instilling the people with confidencein the regents. 5

As the series progresses fromCatherine of Aragon to CatherineParr, Henry gradually changesfrom the devout, athletic,charming young kingto the gross,diseased, boastful despot. KeithMichell skillfully portrays Henrythrough this transformation, aperformance which earned himEngland's highest acting award.

In viewing the monarch'srelations with his wives, itbecomes evident that Henry

Rated XButjThe LittleWe Are

By Mark ZineThe Mercyhurst Drama

Department offered us^, abeautiful little Christmas presenton the night of December 15.W rapped, up in a package oftalent and a feeling of life, theaudience received a show of

original works. By first? askingsome honest questions, we feelsome simple but moving answerst hat the cast projected.

On a tangent of .love, individuality, and humanity, thecast shared the feelings of war,hatred, and the unknown; givingassurance to a positive outcome"if we only had Love." ("Thinkabout it"). ; I

A few of the most touchingscenes I have seenwere part ofthis production. "My boy" withChristi jWarnick, Laura Mon-tipetit and Dennis Andresprojected the emotions of afamily which lost their son, EricW atson in the war. MissWarnlckshowed a mother's pride; her sondied for us. But she realized that

all glory is lost with death. MissMontpetit offered her worship toher big brother—but what for—being killed. Dennis Andres, ashis father, believes in starting allover by taking a new familyprotrait. His inability to realizehis lossis extremely emotional.

In the party scene, CandyYanker does an outstanding jobas Jill, a girl realizing her owndeath. She was so believable, theaudience sat with handkerchiefsin hand feeling .the emotionalsituation.*^ «

"But the Little We Are" is in noway mundane. It was full of life."Rhythm," is a beautifully happyscene^caused the audience towant to getjup and dance. Thechurch scene vibrated with joy.

"Eighteen was a youthfulnumber done with the powerfulvoice of Kim Henderson.Although the choreography in"Eighteen** was too childlike,professionalism was definitethroughout the rest of the show.

Marie Oliveri, singing "MoonRiver/* also deserved mention.Once again, Mancini's soft*anddream-like melody wasdeliveredby a beautiful voice that itdeserves. J

With "Reach out and TouchSomebody's Hand" as its finale,the unity of man was portrayedon the stage. |f^Director Paul Iddings did atremendous job in such a short(less than three weeeks) period.It is obvious that the dedicatedcast gave their all to make "TheLittle We Are" a worthy cause.

The holiday season and subsequent joyous (?) return tocampus has brought about"Phase II" in Mercyhurst 'sbasketball season. * \

The '• Magic" that had gracedth eLakers for the second throughthe seventh g ames suddenlyended in a heart-breaking loss toOhio Northern. 91-90. The loss ofMike*Emick, hurt the team , butJeff Mc Conn el I proved onceagain how vastly underrated heis . 4 f

Emick, expected to be in a castfor half of January has alreadyhad it removed. It is hoped he willbe available shortly after theteam embarks on kits 17 game,1972 portion of the schedule.

To use that! old cliche, thissection of the ? schedule will" make or break* 9 th e Hurst. Thispart of the season includes12road games; with trips toMichigan. D.C., Virginia andDelaware. With the Lakers onlytaking on a few of their 71 opponents during th is tim e, it wouldbe foolish to ntake any sort ofprediction. But. one can say thatif the team ke eps up their level ofplay, an IK-7 record wouldn't betoo far-fetched. A record like thatmay possibly mean apost-seasonNAIA bid. And with a bid. theinteresting fact of a likelymeeting with our graciousdowntown neighbors couldbecome a pparen t '.

' SUPER BOWLThe holiday break has left a

lack of topics of school intere st toexplore, so this writer would liketo express some thoughts concerning the\ upcoming "SuperBowl" between Dallas andMiami.

Following their victory, many

fl experts were comparing theI Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay

teams of the W s . This observation appears to this quarterto be absolutely ridiculous.Dallas may have the'personnelneeded t o b ea great team,but notthe spirit or confidence. Dallasappears I to f be the mostunemotional team in the sportingworld. " ) fa

You can go so far on talent, butemotion and pride play a big rolein being great, qualities Dallasappears to lack.Vince Lombardiknew how to pick his teams andbuilt pride in them with theemotion and pride that heexhibitedhimself. |

Green Bay also had anotherquality Dallas definitely lacks,confidence in their quarterback.A sfar as this writer is concerned,any professional football teamthat has to have its coach call allthe plays is far from j being"gr eat ." One only has to go backto 1967when Green Bay defeatedDallas 21-jl7 infjthe -13 degreeweather to realize what Dallaslacks. | J*i On that |day, with less than 4minutes remaining, Bart Starrled his team80 yards and scoredthe winning touchdown with 17second left. Starr didn't need hisplays called from thebench, andhis team had the confidence thath e , not Lombardi, would leadthem to victory. || Dallas is obviously a very goodteam, but to call them great incomparison with the Packers ofthe W s is a ridiculous assumption M almost as bad as sayingMerchyhurst would finish 8-17!)It is the fact that Dallas is farfrom "great" that we feel Miamiwill win the • Super Bowl"20-17.

Convicted of desecration of theflag in violation of the statestatute, Mr. Nicola appealed onthe' ground that th e exh ibits in

evidence were not the flags oftheUnited States hut only peacesymbols.

The North Dakota SupremeCourt overturned the convictionand stated.

"The defendant strenuouslyasserts that he never has placedthe peace symbol on or attachedit to a flag of the United States oranything representing the flag ofthe United States."

"W e find that the flag of theUnited States was not desecratedby the defendant, nor was arepresentation of such flagdesecrated. The flags displayednever were Hags bi the UnitedStates nor did they purport to be.Therefore, we must reverse theconviction of thedefendant."

Kenneth NicolaMany of us are wondering how

the decision from North Dakotaaffects us in Erie. W ell,it simplymeans you can wear or displayanything that looks likea flag, aslong as it is not a flag of theUnited States.
