Associate Degree proposal passed byAcademicPolicies Committee
MSGBy Naomi RomanchokAt its April 10 meeting, theAcademic Policies
Com mitteepassed a proposal that wouldestablish an Associate
Degreein Liberal Arts (an A.A.) here atMercyhurst. %By a vote of
6-0 (with twoabstentions) the proposal willnow go to the College
Senate.The Associate Degree wasco-submitted by AdmissionDirector
Andrew PTRoth andCatherine Anderson, assistantdirector of the I
MercyhurstCareer Institute.The General "Objectives ofthe proposal
gave six basicreasons fo r proposing anAssociate Degree in
LiberalArt$ TBasically, the ^AssociateDegree will focus on
thosefreshmen and sophomorestudents who declare theirmajor as
undecided, r-The degree would e n -courage aoademic choices inth e
literal arts area through in-ternal recruitment within the
departments.It willf also keep adultstudents on their way to
somesort of a degree. As the pro-posal states, a completed two-year
degree is better than afour-year degree-that isperpetually
unfinishe d. jIt will also help the collegein reestablishing -Jhe
jimpor-lancf 6tTWb^Tbertfl' dtffflfeapriculum in higher
education.As Roth explains, ''It's a'shrinking market'; there
arefewer 18 year olds. The marketshould bottom out in the
mid1990's."He continues, "One way tostabilize enrollment is to try
toget 18 year olds to go to col-lege." He points to
variousstatistics that illustrate hispoint. Nationally 50 percent
ofall high school students! go onto some k ind ofs p o s t
-secondary education. As Rothquips, "That can be anythingfrom
Harvard to J.H. Thomp-s o n B e a u t y A c a d e m y .
"Specifically though, 40 per-cent go on to college. 5R o t h a l s

s .Academic t Dean, Dr. v:DavidPalmer comments jthati thereare six
designated4 subjectelectives and eight free elec-tives. The
proposal suggestselectives for students to take,| f "The advantage
of free elec-tives," days Dr. Palmer, "i s toparlay the two-year
degree int oa four-year program." iRoth explains that theAssoc ia
te Degree ! a l lowsstudents to go on to a four-year degree. "I t
allows for in-
ternal recruitment of the manystudents that come in
as'undecided', especially intothose liberal arts areas suchas
English, history ^and thesocial sciences." ;He concludes that the
A.A.degree shows an intermediatelevel of success. " I t is ;
notdesigned* for a 1specific job,but; shows that fa student ismore
motivated and has morediscipline." |Dean Palmer agrees withthis
position. "More and morepeople are concerned of theirability to go
to a four-year in-stitut ion; at least there will besome level of
satisfaction. It isn o t , " he c o n t i n u e s , " avaluable
tool for getting a job,but it does give one a degree;some sort of
end product fortheir work." | |The Academic Dean feels
that if , for j example, twelvestudents applied for and earn-ed
an A.A. degree from Mer-cyhurst , "I t 's twelve thatwould have le
f t wi thoutany th ing . N o w ; they havesomething." fIf passed,
th e AssociateDegree program would berather unique to the area.
OnlyBehrend and the Penn Statesystem also f have simi lardegree
programs.?The Dean leaves open5 theposs ib i l i t y o f
upperclassstudents who intend on ac-quiring a Bachelor's Degree
toapply for an Associate Degree.A student "could apply for anA.A.
if they have fulfilled allthe requirements." The Deansees no
advantage for a tradi-tional four-year student tohave such a
degree, however.
But the main emphasis ofthe proposal was to "focus ont h e s t u
d e n t s w h o s e ethemselves as u ndecided," ac-cording to Dr.
Palmer.| 7Roth is working with RobertPagni and th e FreshmenStudies
Office to put togetherwhat they call "The Mer-c y h u r s t F r e s
h m e n E x -perience". As Roth explains," I t wi l l deal wi th
thoseu n d e c i d e d ^ s t u d e n t s b yacademic advising,

Currently,120* credits are *Sneeded t o * graduate from

thatwhen the college changed thegraduation requirements fromcourses
to t credits, the 40courses were arbitrarily con-
verted into 120 credits. Therewas the assumption that allcourses
were worth threecredits. rJHe continues that changingthe required
credits will "havevery little effect on almost allmajors here at
Mercyhurst Col-lege. There are only one or twoprograms that are up
to theirlimits." Dietetics is one ofthese majors. *Mos t s c ience
ma jo r sgraduate with well over the re-quired number of credits,
eventhough' lab credits do notcount toward graduation.E If the
current requirementsare changed, considerationwould have to be
given to thep r e s en t , 4 -3 -3 academicc a l e n d e r . The p
r e s e n t !calender " t ranslates intooverloads" and would have
tobe "dumped" according to Drz>Palmer. w f&& *3t
"Overall, there would haveto be adjustments in the waycourses are
taken," he said.I The concern^ for i thereevaluation of graduation
re-quirements came about whenthe College Senate voted toadd
"Research and Analysis inLiterature" to the FoundationCore. I :
& * f\jfDean Palmer capsulizes thequestion facing the
AcademicPolicies Com mittee,! "Wh en!
you add a Core course, do youreplace it for another or add iton
to the requirements?"The Committee decided topostpone the
discussion onthe graduation credit and corerequirements^^ . .
^^^^mIf A s fC h a I r m a n *o ffft h eAcademic Policies
CommitteeStephen J. Curcio says,"Because Research andAnalysis in
Literature won'tbecome a Foundation Core re-quirement un til Fall
I986, it hasno effect on theB incomingfreshmen, so -there was
noneed for a rush."
Director of Financial Aid,Cahtherine Crawford says* thetime to

AID CUTS *There are some . seriousfinancial aid cuts being
pro-posed in the FY 86 budget Aso f A p r i l 5 , w h e n t h
eastereassover recess began,the White t House * and keySenate
Republicans agreed toa compromise that would Im-pose a $370 million
cut in stu-dent aid. M t f3^ The implications o f th eseproposed
cuts are dangerousand discriminatory in nature.The concept of and
commit-ment to student * aid hashistorically been to insureequal
educational oppor-tunities for all, iby removingfinancial barriers.
The currentproposals,, according to theNASFAA (National
Associa-tion of Student Financial AidAdministrators) hotline
inWashington will severelyhinder a lower or moderate in-
come student; from attendinga school of their choice. &j
Many-Mercyhurst studentsare currently receiving federal-ly ''funded
student aid. Eighthundred -forty-five studentsare borrowing through
theGuaranteed Student Loan Pro-gram, 325 students areemployed
through the CollegeWork Study- Program, 77stud ents a re'
borrowingthrough the' National DirectStudent% Loan Program. 20
7students are recipients of Sup-plemental Educational Oppor-tunity
Grants and 423 Mer-cyhurst students ar e reci-
pients of the PELL Grant. Wemust make certain that th
edetrimental results whichwould occur from the EX pro-posed aid
cuts never happen.The real tragedy, so far. Isthe lack of a
strongly voicedopposition to any of the pastand current proposals
fromstudents, their families an dpost secondary institutions.You

to maintain that delay."Miller detailed the activit iesof COCOM ,
the abbreviat ion ofthe Coordinating Committee.COCOM is a secret

Japan.COCOM controls and ap-proves the amounts and kindsof goods
and technology go-ing to certain Eastern coun-tries. Miller named
those'na-t ions as being: the SovietUnion, the Warsaw Pact na-t

in Asia. COCOMalso cont ro ls in ternat ionaltrade relat ions with
