But, was it a success ? What isthe real meaning behind Exposure '69? It certainly wasn' t meantto be just a "nice weekend." Theconfrontation of different kinds of

for the pro gram include
State and Local Government. Thestudent will be able to choose anyof the remaining ten coursestoward completion of her program from the courses offered a tMercyhurst or Gannon with theapproval of her advisor. Th ecourses offered at Mercyhurstother than American Governmentwill be The Presidency, Legislative Processes, American PoliticalThought, Comparative Governments, Political Geography, and
American Politics and Parties.Gannon College offers courses inRegional Studies (Asia, Africa,South America), Urban Government, and other American Political Science topics.
The cognate field is designed togive the student a useful tool ingrasping her own major areafrom the viewpoint of another Social Science, j The fields fromwhich the student may choose hercognate are history, sociology,geography, economics, and psychology. Special arrangementscan be made for students withdefinite goals in the area of Political Science regarding the cog
nate field upon the advisors suggestions. However, this will bethe exception rather than the rule.
It is projected that Mercyhurstwill participate in the Washington Semester program at theton, D. C. in the near future. Under this program, a studentspends a term in Washington,D. C. gaining first-hand knowledge off the operation of theNational Government. Her timewould be divided between two or
three major courses, special meetings , and seminars with publicofficials or other well-informed-people, and the writing of an extensive research paper. The research project may become thesenior thesis if it is of the proper quality.
It is expected that every per-

ferent for each student since theopportunities for experienceswere so varied.
The Exposure '69 Committeeplanned the weekend and experienced unity in purpose of faculty,administration and students. Weworked hard, with a spirit ofequality, to bring this weekendinto existence. The whole city ofErie exhibited its generosity andinterest. At the last moment weappealed for help and St. Mark'sSeminary, St. John's Kanty Prep,The Holiday Inn Downtown andSouth, The Niagara Motel, TheDowntowner, the T. K. E.

upcommg liraThe culturally busy month of
February fulfilled itself in the"Ingmar Bergman Film' Festival ."A film a week was shown forfour weeks, Febru ary 11, 18, 25,and March 4. Introduction landmoderated discussions were included by Father DeSante, Mr.McAndrew, j*Mr. Dolan and Mr.
Skrypzak respectively. The GaryBurton Jazz Quartet Concert wasalso held last month on February14 at Cathedral Prep Auditorium.
The remaining Cultural serieswill include the film, "L'AVentura" on March 25. This film ofItaly's lidle rich established Mi-chelangello Antonioni as one ofthe leading directors in the worldand is a provocative statementabout modern society. "The recurring themes of the impermanenceof love, the difficulty of commun ication, the lease of betra yal ofone's self or someone else preoccupy §Antonioni almost to thepoint of obsession."

and zany stunts; unencumberedby plot, it should prove to be agay, fun film. This romantic comedy, filmed in South Londonderry, Vermont, "resorts to slowmotion, fast motion, stop motion. . . li s a fresh experiment landexperience in the cinema of theabsurd." Tentatively, in conjunc
tion with the Social Committee,the film will be followed by amixer.
Jean Renoir 's "Rules of theGame" will be shown on April22 . This film frankly delineates
the erotic charades of the Frenchleisure class before World WarII . Fors aking ! the humanism ofhis earl ier films, Renoir mordant-ly satirizes the social and sexualmores of a decadent society nearcollapse. In this unfelling world,the game, l ike that oflthe hunt ,moves inevitably towards death.
On April 30, John Ciardi, co-sponsored with Gannon, twillspeak at Gannon Auditorium on"How Does AjjjPoem Me a n? " | Mr .
Ciardi, as poet , t ranslator, teacher, editor, and lecturer, has developed a rare working knowledgeof poetry. Readers of the "Saturday ! Review" know him for hi sforthright critical articles, for hispopular column "Man ner ofSpeaking", and!for his editorials.Students, fellow writers, and lecture audiences across!the nationhave found in him a fman wh o"can speak| plain 'sense ion th esubject of poetry, freeing it fromthe fogs of misunderstandingwhich too often surround it."John Ciardi completed three yearsas John fHolmes Visit ing Professor of Poetry at Tufts University,and is completing his translation
of Dante's "Divine Comedy".fHisfirst fling at free lancing was ashost of the CBS-TV Networkshow "A ccent," fr om | 1961 to1962. But, though Professor Ciardi has left regular collegeteaching, his books have not. His"How Does A Poem Mean?"—anintroduction to poety text, is usedin over two hundred colleges anduniversities. About his lectures,he is almost adamant in saying,
