Having Father Drinan speakat our commencement this yearcaused quite a fuss for a numberof individuals involved in special .interest groups. There was a half-hearted attempt at picketing-thisincluded draping three 'childrenwith signs./And a letter from aGannon professor, .which ques-tioned Mercî^t's'justificationin obtaining Drin^'as aspeaker^Jhit the Eri^j papers during -the ,^two-weeK yacafjpn before siim-,^merjschool ~,o^? *ly - Jwil arilThe annoying thing in the whole.-matter was the consistent over-looking of the^responsibility ofMercynurstras a > college.jThis is ,0the crux of the controversy; As an Vinstitution of f higher learningdedicated to free and open in-quiry, Mercyhurst is obligated toallow the expression^ of diverseviews, \ however tof fensivQ, thoseviews', may. be to some people. .^ffi0Providing campus speakers is gpart ofl the;, intellectual a$-,-fmosphere a college is compelledto create.* This does not

necessarily mean that the collegecondones or acknowledges theassum ptions! upon which aspeaker may predicate his or herdiscussion. Boycotting a speakeron the b asis of belief is a form ofcensorship to which-Mercyhurstdoes not ascribe.:Screening potential speakersimplies that the students are in-capable of discerning true doc-trine from false d octrine. This isboth paternalistic and presump-tous, as well as an insult to the in-tellectual stature of fa collegecommunityAî &. 1! ^liMercyhurst does not limit theboundar i es of knowledgeavailable to its students. This col-lege does not protect the campuscommunity from the multitude ofopinions and ideas present in to-day's society. Special interestgroups ;would do ^well toremember this. And other institu-tions may lea rn from it.

These changes arebrought about in an effort to getthe black students more involv-ed in our school activities and tohave a grea ter voice on the Cam-pus.

Mercyhurst PondTo Be Spruced-UpWhat began as a good inten-tioned effort on the p art of twoMercyhurst students willresult in a "renovated" ponda r e a for:! t h e ' H u r s tcommunity.During Spring, seniors ChrisMeyers and Becca M artin ap-

proached Sister Maura Smithwith the?idea of weeding outthe excess algae and weeds cl-inging to the pond banks andclearing the garbage from thearea. The removal of thealgae and w eeds proved to bemore than the couple expectedso they settled with removingthe garbage.Believing the idea a goodone, they approached RichLanzillo, president of the stu-dent government, early in thesummer; A summer-clean-upproject was organized but fellthrough when excessivelyhumidL'weather conditionsprevailed. Consequently, Lan-zillo has scheduled a Fallproject. ^"The project will help build

pride in the campus," saidLanzillo. "The clean-up willmake more people pay atten-tion Ho that area of thecollege. "I glfLanzillo is also consideringthe possibility of having ben-ches and garbage cans placedaround the pond.District Game Protector An-dy Martin, who also teachespart-time at* the college, hasoffered to .make vegetationnative to pond area s availablefor transplanting. Martinstated further that his officehas been receiving calls fromresidents near the.pond areacomplaining about abuse,such as stoning, of the duckl-ings.

Yearbook To UndergoSeveral AlterationsThe Student Government lisrevising its management re-quirements for the operation ofthe college Yearbook. Accordingto Rich Lanzillo, president of thestudent government, thef revi-sions are being made to ensure amore complete yearbook whichcovers all aspects of the college

community. | :Revisions include a $500scholarship for; the position ofyearbook editor and some form ofcompensation for a . businessmanager. "It's all part of our ef-fort to rebuild the organization,"commented Lanzillo. He addedthat the details-of compensationfor the business manager havenot been worked out as yet.Lanzillo explained tha t a selec-tion committee consisting of thefour student government officers,the director of student services,and the Yearbook advisor willdecide which applicants receivethe positions. He further statedthat the student government isnow accepting | applications j-forYearbook editor and business. manager.

"We're looking for someone in-novated," said Lanzillo. Ex-perience in layout and yearbookmanagement are helpful but nota necessary requirement, headded. J # The revisions in yearbookmanagement are* the result ofp o o r s a l e s a n d o v e r -expenditures, explained Lanzillo.In 1980 the yearbook overspentthe $4,000 budget by approx-imately $2,871 and the consistent-ly low sale of .yearbooks hasresulted in budget deficits overthe past few years. ,'%J&"I don't think spending thatamount of money on the year-book, with such a small return , isa good way to spend the students'activity fee," Lanzillo said.He indicated that the low salesmay result from a poor qualitybook. "I hate to, say that, but Ireally believe people will buy agood book." * \ &Be s ide s the r e v i s ion inm a n a g e m e n t , t h e s t u d e n tgovernment will] oversee thewhole operation to ensure a quali-ty product, added Lanzillo.
