Comment4 In this period of admin istrative transition it is comforting to notethat the college is in the hands of people who know it well. The ap-pointment of David Palm er as academic dean is an example.As an internal candidate for the position, Palmer w a s able tograsp immediately many of the college's sor e spots. In fact, he wasthe only candidate with definite ideas of what he wanted done.! * Granting that hi s familiarity gave him an edge, h e nonethelesshad an impressive compilation of "things to do."Palmer addressed some crucial issues while preparing for theposition of dean. Among them th e slipping college image, th ew eaknesses} in the tenure policy, and the Liberal StudiesCurriculum.The pointing out of these troubled spots was not the sole purposeof Palmer's preparation. He also made a rough outline of ap-proache s which could be used to strenghten weak spots.His outline stressed such ideas a s emphasizing quality inprograms, faculty an d students, as well a s encouraging ties withthe Sisters of Mercy, Mercyhurst Preparatory School, an d SaintLuke's.A general theme runs throughout Palmer's concepts, that of ac-companying necessary negative actions with positive actionswhenever possible. It is this kind of attitude which will serve tosecur e the college in difficult time s of low enrollm ent.Pa lmer h a s spent many fruitful years at Mercyhurst helping toinstitute an d develop a variety of different programs (See storypage one) . Using hi s past accomplishments a s a measure of com-petency, it would appear that Mercyhurst is in for a very good year.Editorial Photo

Dean's ListThe 1979-80 Dean's List was released July 7,1980. To qualify for Dean's List, students must main-tain at least a 3.5 averag e and must have completed a minimum of 24 credits for the academic year%Dean Millar said of those designated to the list^'It is an honor for any student to be named to theDean's List. To perform this kind of work consistently for a full academic year is admirable."I believe that most of the faculty at Mercyhurst do expect high standards and being a ssigned tothe Dean's List reflects the students* desire to achieve those standards,'' he noted. ^The following is a compilation of the 170 Mercyhurst students who have been named to the list.The Merciad is proud to add that the 7 students whose names are in bold print have contributed tothe newspaper during the 79-80 school year.

Findlay's performanceat the I national competitionshould help make the Mercyhurstteam a National contender onceagain. There is one potential pitfall forfuture seasons.

Without recruitingability there will be no scholar-ship for newcomers until presentscholarship players graduate.m Although he ha s enjoyed muchpersonal success on the court,Findlay is eager to credit the en-tire team's efforts.
