Shane; Reflects Feelings Upon Heaving The HurstQ: Could you tell
m e some ofyour feelings as you prepare toleave th e 'Hurst? * :A:
I leave with the basi c feelingthat this has been an extremelyrich
experience. I t ' s been ^ aproductive time in my life. It wa sa
challenge to take this, m y firstp r es idency and ' I think i t '
sworked out extremel y well for m epersonally and
professionally,and be en good for tne college. So Ileave with
sadness because both
Dorothy and I have made a lot offriends here, no t only from th
ecollege itself but in th e Eriecommunityv as well. So
there'ssadness in leaving, bu t at?thesame time there is a time fo
rcoming and a time for going. Thetime fo r going has come. \Q: In
your past eight yearshere, what have been some of themost notable
changes?A: I would say that the collegehas built on the program
that ithad in the past: it's built on whatthe heritage that th e
Sisters ofMercy endowed, that w e haves trenghtened th e c a r e e
rprograms. We have taken manyof the things we were doing and,
Ithink, have given them a strongerbase of support and have
in-tegrated and tied together a lot ofthings. F or example, build
new
ca ree r p rog rams for ourstudents. We worked to take th ewhole
area of athletics, physicaleducation!and attempted to pullit
together. We continued tostrengthen adult education, builtthe law
enforcement programand continued to strengthen it .We developed th
e division ofbus iness . W e continued o u rcooperation work within
the Erie
Dr. Shane
Consortium of Colleges so that wenow have the mas ters pro gram
inelementary education. IThere is another aspect to it . Ifelt when
I came here that therewa s a dimension in the educationthat needed
to be structured andformalized..You could call thatroughly ' the?
area of personaldevelopment. So I see the adventin educational
development asbeing something that n as giventhe student an
opportunity no tonly to pick up then* liberal artsand career
programs, but also inworking t e r m s of personaldevelopment fl
think the summe rorientation is a supporting aspectof this a n d JI
think ;skilllaborator ies help because i tstruck m e that a lot of
th eproblems s, students have whencoming to college is making
atransition. I think we've!donemuch to help them with tran-sition
so that they can do well notonly in the classroom, bu t theycan
develop through th e coun-seling an d mentoring services.Q: Do you
think th e studentshave changed? !A: Yes they have. They've
gonethrough tw o or three facets ofs tages of development
sincethey've been here. I think therewas a great deal of attacking
the
system, a n attempt to complainand criticize \ without
offeringanything in the way of solutions.Now I see a readiness on
the partof students to criticize if theyfeel 'som ethi ng's wrong.
Butthey're also ready to come upwith suggestions and create
anincreased willingness to workwithin th e system. They don'twant
to tear anything down and.just attack. There is" a muchmore
constructive attitude. Ithink in the early 70s it w as acarry over
from th e '60s. ig One of th e things I hoped to dowas to try to
get the various of-fices on campus more orientedtoward servicejiin
other words,we used to get very heavycomplaints-from this office
orthat office and a lot of our timewas spent just dealing withcom
pla int Si-'What w e tried to dowas to get the support an ddevelop
th e personnel to handlethe business office. Tha t's wh ythey
call;it academic services,business services, student ser-vices-so
it would be serviceoriented to the students. I thinkthis has Worked
out. 8 1 &m Q: The academic quality of thecollege h a s been
questioned onnumerous occasions. Why do youthink this has happened?
*
A: I think it's partly a result ofthe inflow of federal money
thatha s hit all colleges. When th eCongress decided that
therewould be equal access and equalopportunity with financial a
idtied to it, th e doors of all in-s t i tu t ions , including
Harvard,opened. So instead of bringingpeople in from just one
economicand social * level, i t ' s bringingthem in from all levels
at variousstages of preparation. As a resultof that, we have ha d a
higherpercentage of students attendingcollege whose parents did
notattend collegej themselves . 'Hence, in most ca ses the
studentshave no t been oriented towardt he skills of reading,
writing an dmath. So it's been a tremendoustask and this is the
main backupof educational development, th ePace program, and
working withstudents. It isn't that these;students don't have th e
ability,but rather that they ha ve not hadthe preparation and
culturalbackground. |So yes , legitimate questionshave been raised
about academicquality, but right under our nosea tiny revolution is
taking placean d a lot of people are finding it( nitlilllM'd mi

Com-mittee, explained the proposalasking for $218 dollars.
Thecommittee wanted to show a filmduring one weekday evening
andinvite interested people to stayfor discussion. "Cousin
Cousine", a Frenchfilm with subtitles, was decidedupon as a ^result
of a studentsurvey/done earlier this year.Tolemeo added that the
filmdeals with a number of socialconflicts including
man-woman,man-family, and man-man. Thefinal ~vote count-' for* the
filmcommittees proposal was eight infavor, two opposed and 7
ab-stentions.* In a show of support, * therepresentatives upheld
theexecutive board decision to allotan extra $300 to the Activity
Day'80 budget, f jThe executive board made thedecision following fl
therepresentatives vote last week toallow the board final say on
theActivity Day Committee's April3rd proposal for an extra $750.The
government had decidedlast week in a contingency-votethat the
allottment of extra fundsfor Activity Day be subject to theboard's
approval. $Alda? walker, business rep,voiced her agreement of
theboard's decision saying, "I don'twant to see every penny go
intoActivity Day, as much as I love itand support it 100 per cent."
AIn another item of business,Vice-president elect RichLan-zillo
announced the resu lts of hisdoor-to-door survey on studentresponse
to having a D.J. per-form during the band breaks atthe Spring
Formal. f-Of the 233 people surveyed, 204were in favor of
sponsoring a D. J .and 8 were opposed to the idea.[J1 The majority
of peoplerequested a variety in the type ofmusic played. In
specific areas,slow music ranked number one.The remaining votes
weredisbursed evenly between rock,disco, and country-rock. fp!The
reps suggested that th eD.J music be played at a slightlylower
volume than th e Bandmusic, to permit conversation.Following this,
President TimSeltzer proposed that t h e
government donate $100 to helpdefray the costs of
Housekeepingstaff member Betty Wilson.Wilson, who has no
insurance,was hospitalized late in Marchafter she suffered a
stroke. *-^Merclad editor Steve Frisinasuggested that th e
governmentadd a percentage of the ActivityDay '80 proceeds* to th e
$100donation. ^ -I The represe ntat iv es agreedwith Frisina 's
suggestion. Seltzercommented that Wilson w a s"part of the
students, not just thedorms,.but th e community." **|? This week's
meeting began onan entertaining note with theappearance of

MSG President Reviews Past YearIn a recent Merciad in-terview
Mercyhurst StudentGovernment President electTim Seltzer commented
onhis '80 term of his office. *iSeltzer explained that hefulfilled
his only campaignpromise, that of tine radiostation. "I've
accomplishedthat," he said. "Next year Iintend to use it."
Continuing,he explained that his goalsfor the 79-80
governmentweren't established until thesummer after his
campaign.During {that summerSeltzer felt a need to changethe
representative systemby making it more diverseand to* tighten the
con-stitution of th e ^ studentgovernment. Jp|k JaBoth of these
goals havebeen accomplished with thenew constitution structuringin
Seltzer's opinion.Inexperience is cited bythe incumbent as his
majorobstacle .during his term ofoffice. *Seltzer, who had
neverbeen involved in studentgovernment before the 79-80elections,
stated,"It was afreak election that put me inoffice." i | jHe went
on to say thatgetting used to the criticism
which accompanied theoffice of MSG president wasanotherj
obstacle in thebeginning, - ;,>,'As the year went on,Seltzer
discovered thatcriticism "can be helpful iftaken as
constructive.With that in mind he felt hewas able to maintain
aproblem-free relationshipwith the administration andf a c u l t y
^ In ^ S e l t z e r ' s 'estimation he got as much in-^formation
as he could fromthe students as well, and thishelped smooth working
com-munications between;all in-^volved parties. t .Further into the
interviewSeltzer said,B "The highestpoint in my term was
gettingre-elected.'***! *l i t was* a n impor tan tmoment for him
because hefelt it showed he had enoughstudent support for his
pastyear in office, g .."I know I made < manymis takes ," he
said, " I surewon't make them again."| Asked what he felt was th
elowest point during the ye ar,Seltzer replied, N o trulylow point,
except maybe inthe beginning when I hadtrouble handling criticism.;
t
i*\"Now,*' h e (continued,"I'm thankful for it."^fSeltzer's
overalr?view ofthe 79-80 government is agood one. " I ' m

The FarewellAfter 24 issues and 200 pages,the time has come to
close theterm of the current editorship.$ While there is relief in
knowingthat one more night of sleep perweek' will shortly follow
thiscolumn, there is also a degree of| melancholy that makes
letting goa little painful. *For those associated with theMerciad,
this has been a year ofgreat pride. We put in long hoursand much
effort to make surethat the students had an eight-page weekly.
Thanks to theconstancy, and quality of thecontributions, not only
was thismade possible with continuingsigns of improvement.The siaff
of the Merciad is notblind *o the fact that there weresome
criticisms aimed in ourdirection. However, it should benoted that
we were not blind tothe fact that rarely,!if ever,were these?
criticisms ac-companied with constructivealternatives. Hence,?
thecriticisms were weighed asheavily as their
accompanyingcontribution. -if To thank everyone ? that
didcontribute to this year's edition ofthe Merciad is impossible
simplybecause so many people did somuch. Whilefthe "chimes"
ofapathy were ringing around thecampus, we oftentimes
\haddifficulty accomodating thevolunteers who gathered in
ourcramped office. Let it be knownthat Mercy hurst students havet
he^ same capacity * to give of
themselves as those at any othercollege. We are thankful to
have
had these students in our midst.The second group to be
thankedfor their contributions to thisyear's I newspaper ^y arethe
faculty of the college. Bytaking us into their confidence,we were,
in many cases, giventhe inside track to stories thatwould have
taken much longer touncover if left to our ownresources. It was a
goodrelationship, and the hope here isthat it will continue in the
future.The final group that merits ourappreciation is the
ad-ministration and staff of thecollege. We found the
ad-ministration to be congenial andmost vwilling to help us in
mostinstances. Because of them thenewspaper was autonomous fromany
sort of censorship. The staff,including the
secretaries,housekeepers, receptionists, andsecurity officers all
played asignificant role in facilitating ourgrowth. The opening of
doors,placing of long distance calls, useof the copier and cleaning
of theoffice meant a great deal to us.>3 In 1979 the college
community,represented by the six committeemembers, placed a great
deal offaith in Rebecca and myself tocome through with a
newspaperthat they felt would best serve theneeds of the Mercyhurst
com-munity. One year later, theresponsibility is now passed on
toEditor Rebecca Martin. TheMercyhurst community wasfortunate to
have our services.However, we are just as for-tunate to have had
the .op-portunity to serve you. Thankyou, Mercyhurst.

thisquestion to you: Why didn. 't youspeak to m e before w riting

you would have seen the matterfrom, a f different
perspective.'Perhaps not. Anyway, I wouldShave appreciated the
op-portunity to give you the historyof this t-shirt dilemma. But
sin-ce you never bothered to ask, ItLwould like to now tell you
and(t he rest of the Mercyhurst Com-gmunity why the Activity Day
'80*t-shirts are beingIsupplied byChampion Prod ucts.! V During the
first meeting of the^Activity Day *80 committee, the idea of
selling t-shirts came up.*-The committee decided it wantedP to
supply the shirts as remem-brances of the day. One com-mittee
member volunteered tolook into the matter, and reportback to the
staff concerningprices, quality, etc. After threeweeks of asking
this person aboutthe progress he-she made andseeing there was none,
I took theresponsibility of investigating.After calling all over
Erie andfinding high prices, I contactedDan O'Connor, Director
ofIntramurals, and inquired as towhere he purchased the in-tramural
championship shirts.He, in turn, contacted the arearepresentative
of ChampionProducts. I was informed by thisperson that their shirts
were $2.70a piece, lower than any otherprice previously given me.
Theman told me he'd come up from
Pittsburgh to meet with me.The following Sunday I metwith the
staff and gave them thedetails. Everyone seemed ex-cited. One staff
member who isan art major, said he-she wouldlike to see an art
student designthe t-shirt. Everyone was in favorand I asked him-her
to get som edesigns right.; away as therepresentative was coming
toErie that week, j but he hadn'tcalled me yet to let me know
whatday. I $That Tuesday the represen-tative arrived from
Pittsburgh,but the art students didn't havethe designs yet. I asked
him toplease come back the followingweek and explained why.During
the following week ourcommittee met again. I told theart student
the representativehad been on campus and wasreturning the next
week. The artstudent then told me he-shethought it would be nice to
havesome art students do the shirts.The committee talked about
thesituation. k g ^It was clear that:1) It was not the art
depart-ment who volunteered to do theshirts. It was this person who
saidhe-she could get;some otherstudents to do it him-her.2) He-she
was not sura the.students could even make the 3001we wanted (It was
decided shirtswere to be mailed to the Board ofTrustees and given
to the staff,the rest would be sold).
3) The art student informed thecommittee that it probably
wouldnot be possible to get a machineto do the shirts, so they
would bedone by band. ? iYes, the committee wantedquality
shirtsthis was theirreasoning-we wanted to providethe community
with somethingworth the price and that wouldlast. ? * r?-

was a scramble for admissionsduring the 70's. I can rememberback

Restricts CollegeThermostats Through 1981
Faculty, staff and studenthopes that campus buildingsmight be a
little cooler thissummer than they were lastsummer were dashed in
Mid-April when \ President Carterextended his mandatory heatingand
cooling restrictions throughJanuary 16, 1981. -1Carter ordered
thermostatrestrictions last year infan at-tempt to force
institutions toconserve energy. The restrictionsset an upper limit
of 65 degreesfor cooling during4 the warmmonths. *[ | The
restrictions wereoriginally sceduled to lapse onApril 16. */,' f|
Many colleges and universitiesha d difficulty meeting
therestrictions in all campusbuildings. Some students.protested
when plant managers
did meet! the restrictions.Washington University inj St.Louis,
for example, protestedthat the 65 degree limit wasunfair to and
unhealthy for themodels who posed nude in theUniversity's art
classes. WmThe 'Department of Energyeventually . rejected S t
heuniversity's request f o r i a nexemption to the
thermostatrestrictions. J 1*2PSEdi tors Note:fMaintenanceexplained
that M ercyhurst has noair conditioned buildings oncampus and
therefore noproblem with the summerthermostat restrictions. LEnergy
officials also an-nounced that they will proposethe limits become a
permanentfeature of the nation's energyplan. They will send the
bill toCapitol Hill in^'A few weeks."
