Merciad Interview 1 *

Q: What b the 1 MercyhurstMystique? 3& sRxifcA: WelU've always referred to itas a feeling of specialty about thecollege that li t was somethingdifferent, that it had destiny tofulfill which it could become oneof the really strong, not greatcolleges in the country and thefeeling that it was not just thesmall liberal arts co llege. I guessthat is where the word specialtycomes from. Those of us thathave bought into it for a numberof years have always felt that thiswas more than another one of the2,000 colleges-but not justbecause we were here, because anumber of us could have been atany other college. We felt therewas a feeling of a particulardestiny to this institution and that

there were special elements thatmade it different.} i S E rQ: Many of the students werelearning toff, walk when youbegan your career here, t Whyhave*, you I remained at I thecollege so long?! j S | 9A: For one thing the college hasprovided me with a number ofexperiences for growth. I was thechairman of education for fiveyears. I wa s director of the socialscience division for three. I wasthe dean for six, andthen when Icame back after a year I wasdirector of the graduate programfor "two. So the \college hasprovided me with a wide varietyof experiences which werechallenging and creative, and Iliked it. I like the place. Maybe itis because of the mystique we

discussed. Also, I prefer a smallliberal arts college such as th is. Ihad other offers, but frankly I feltMercyhurst had more to offer. Ifyou want to teach, this is a goodschool to teach at. It is a prettyclimate, the students are verystimulating and it is just a goodplace to teach at. ja& $ 3Q: You had m entioned increasedfaculty morale as a major ob-jective. How do you see this hap-pening?? ^sW c TCA: Well, there definitely has be-en a faculty morale problem.But, that is not because this isnot a good place to teach at. It'salways been a good place toteach at. But for the last two orthree years the concerns overthe governance of the collegehave pushed teaching into '* the

background. | That's notnecessarily the faculty's fault,nor the t administration, it wassomething'that happened duringthe transition of the college. Ifyou talk to faculty it is the ad-ministration's fault and "if youtalk to administration4it's thefaculty's fault. From my point ofview it wast the transitionalsituation'the{institution.* Themorale question came from thefact that the faculty members feltless and less professional collegefaculty and mOre and more likehigh school teachers. We're not apublish or perish college,. Ourfaculty need to be much moreinvolved than high school faculty,but I think that in the past fewyears the faculty got derailed ongovernance? rather than

professional questions, and didn'tlike it, and their growth wasn'twhat it should have been. So Iintend to encourage the facultyand to assist them in anyway Ican to once again becomecreatively professional. Thisincludes more involvement ingrant publication and research.Q: How do you view theproposed program review?A; I have some grave concernsabout it. I think the burden ofproof for cutting programs restson the -shoulders of the ad-ministration and I think thatmessage has not been fullyconveyed. While I think the cutswere carried out according to amandate laid down by the BoardofTrustees to make such changesContinued on page 5

Doing an about-face in light ofthe academic upheaval caused bythe recent program review, Dr.Shane stated, in a memo read tothe Sen ate | that the ,* proposedprogram recommendations willnot be made to the Board ofTrustees. 4This message, read ' at thePeteruqry 11th Senate meet in g ,^ ^ ed what was supposed tobe a review cf-Fthe Senateresolution which rejected thepresident's proposals recom-mending the dropping of geology,political science and theatre artsas major programs in the collegecurriculum. nIn an interview with TheMerciad, Dr. Shane stated that hefelt it would be in the best interestof the institution if responsibilityfor the reallocation of collegeresources was placed in thehands of the president-elect, DrvWilliam P.* Garvey.Dr. Shane pointed out that Dr.Garvey concurred with him inthis matter, referring to a recentmeeting held with the president-elect. Garvey was not availableEqan Scholar Program>

for comment.The decision not to make therecommendations culminates aneventful two week period inwhich faculty and student bodiestook steps to delay and deter themaking of the program recom-mendations to the board. One

Dr. Marian Shane

student group initiated a petitionwhich threatened the loss of jstudents if the recommendationswere approved by the board.Faculty, acting through thecollege Senate, attempted todelay the presentation date untilthey had an opportunity to reactto it. Receiving a two-week graceperiod from the board, meetingswere neid and the resolutionrejecting Che cutting of the afore-mentioned programs was drawn.The resolution, however, hasbecome useless in light-of themoot topic. Shane emphasized that thedecision not to propose was not acompromise. He feels that suchchanges need to be made in thecurrent curriculum which offersover 30 majors, claiming that thecollege does not have a sufficientecomomic base to effectivelysupport all of them. kHe stated, however, that suchchanges could be handled by theincoming president who would b ebetter prepared to face theconsequences of self inplementedchange.

Hurst Profs ShedInternational Conflict Roots| j; by Walt GreenProffering the point of viewthat perhaps} the United - Statesmay be taking the wrong courseof action in its internationalcrises in Iran and Afghanistan,four Mercyhurst professorsdiscussed the American plight asthe r Egan Scholars presented,"America and Iran: Roots of theConflict" Monday night in thefaculty lounge.The panel, comprised of Dr.David Bethune and Dr. MichaelErisman .'from the PoliticalScience department, Dr. GeorgeGarrelts from the Theologydepartment, and Dr. MichaelMcQuillen, chairman of theSocial Sciences division and-amember of the History depart-ment, addressed the crowd of 60on topics ranging from Sovietimplications to theologicalmisconceptions of Islam.Opening the discussion withremarks concerning the effectthe crises have had on PresidentCarter's domestic policy, Dr.

Bethune stated that the Presidentlas "overreacted," especially tothe situation in Afghanistan.Noting that George Kennan,long-time analyst of Soviet af-fairs, has described the Russianinvasion of Afghanistan as adefensive reaction to an unstableborder situation, Bethune f feltthat it was difficult to justify thehard line the President has takenthus far."Carter* has responded tooquickly to the Russian invasion,"Bethune stated,"and the reactionon the homefront seem to in-dicate that the American peoplehave yet to fully learn the lessonof Vietnam. >/Bethune criticized Carter forretreating into the White Houseand avoiding debate when debateis essential not only for achievinga sensible $ policy I toward theSoviets, but also to help gain anunderstanding of the roots of theconflict, with Iran. Withoutdebate, Bethune felt that the"fallacy and criminality" of

American foreign policy in Irancould never be corrected.Bethune concluded his remarks>y stating that the President'sactions thus far have been in-fluenced by the "bellicosity" ofnational security advisorZbigniew Brzezinski. **Focusing on the Russianreaction to the Iranian crisis, Dr.McQuillen stated that contrary topopular opinion, the leadership inthe Kremlin and Politburo are"deeply disturbed" by the turn ofevents In IrangMcQuillen further held that theSoviets were much happier withthe position of Iran under theShah. Although he has been astrong ally of the west, the Shahnever permitted Americanmilitary bases in Iran, and hisstrong leadership maintainedstability along the Soviet'ssouthern border on Iran. 4\p:"The Soviets were caught bysurprise' in Iran," McQuillen

The originalproposal included two days ofperformances by Marlin andmime Tim Settimi. The projectedprice for both performers wasaproximately $2,300. { tInfluenced by high cost and thefamiliarity of Settimi on campus,the government decided to spon-sor Mike M arlin.In other action, repr iman dswere the order of the day as theofficers confronted the represen-tatives with what they felt was anapparent lack of involvement inevents affecting the college com-munity. {!

Change Is In The AirFor those of us that are comingback to Mercyhurst next fall,there may be a surprise waitingfor us tin the registrar's officewhen we decide to sign up forclasses. "&;For one, if one is not careful,she-he might find themselves atthe college a week before theyare due. While Mercyhurst hasalways been a late starter as faras classes\are concerned, nostudent has ever had to wait untilSeptember 22. At least not yet.Another factor that may not bethat detectable is that studentswill be registering for 12 Credits.Many students might retort,"What's so unusual about that?By taking four classes in the fallI can work during intersession."The third factor may relievestudents of that option. This mayhave been the last year that in-tersession existed. Next week thedean is presenting a proposal todo away with intersession and inits place institute a 12-week termt hat would let out the sa me timeas intersession does now forChristmas vacation. MStudents would take fourclasses during the extended fallterm. Four classes. Is anyonesatisfied with the amount of time(10 weeks) th at 'w e, presentlyhave to take a course in? Ifstudents presently are hurting fortime do they think that two moreweeks would facilitate threeclasses effectively, let alonefour?* i&dfc

jt Maybe they would, maybe theywouldn't. The variable in thiscase is the student. An importantvariable mind you.Jl J g |How is this going to affect thosestudents that rely on intersessionas a means for earning moneyduring the holiday season?Where a student would normallybe going to one class five days aweek!she-he might find them-selves studying for four finals ata time when holiday money;'isripe for the students' picking.With four finals, or even three,theremay not be tim e for holidayjobs. | I tWhat about athletics? Will thefall sports be able to begin theirseasons as early as they do now?With cross country and .soccerboth beginning their seasons inearly-middle fall, will such achange >be a benefit or adetriment?What are the advantages ofeliminating intersession? Whata ret the benefits? These arequestions each of us is going tohave J to answer for ourselvesbecause there may not be anymajority response. This is a timewhen students must voice theiropinions.The college student is not atennis, ball to be served andvolleyed. In this case intersessionmay have played a role in astudent's coming to MercyhurstIf this is the ca se, student input isimportant. And it always hasbeenv* JLHfrt *V#Vet Questions Weissman'si Ideals

To the Editor;Being a veteran of the armedforces, I felt compelled to givemy opinion on Beatrice A.Weiss man's letter to the editor.Although I am far from being aCarter supporter, I stronglyagree with some of his proposals.In 1973 when, Mr. Carter waspromising reduced militaryspending, detente was the orderof the day. The "big bear" was alltoo eager to talk of the SALTTREATY, grain deals, ourtechnology and dissidentpolicies. They even went so faras to host the Olympics of 1980."What kind of Russia was this?"we asked ourselves, as all fthehand shaking and cheek kissingtook place. Well, most of I theworld welcomed this softening ofthe usually hard line Soviets.But, poor world, duped again bythe glimmer of a peaceful co-existence of the super powers.Another country, defenseless innature as past countries, grippedby and loss of FREEDOM!History through the ages willagree that nothing more than astrong military defense will in-sure freedom for all peoples agedor young, rich or poor. Ask thepeople in Poland, Afghanistan or

Czechoslovakia. \9 People say they are scared andworried because revival of thedraft is the first step toward war.They should be scared more forloss of freedom. Ask the people ofRussia what a peaceful protestis fand I think they would be"afraid" to answer that.Because of freedom, won byour ancestors, we feel no fear ofreprisal \ ofi what we may saybecause we are free to say as wefeel. | f h *War is definitely not the answerbut p neither is lying idly bywaiting for talks to happen. Onecannot reason withunreasonables. I think after 95days of dealing with maniacs willprove that at the right time, forceor military presence m ay be theonly solution. I am scared and w orried, too,Ms. Weissman, but because I fearsomeday my children may losewhat we both cherish so deeply,FREEDOM. I respect youropinion and I hope you respectmine. 'That's what makes us a soliddiversity of free peoples. I guessI'll have to admit to being ahawk, and hope I'll be entitled tostay that way until IJohn M. Chrzanowski

Student Offers An Art ExperienceDear E ditor, $Even though I'm studying ArtEducation here at Mercyhurst,my interest lies far beyond justteaching. Hopefully, my futuregoal is to become a free-lanceartist. I would like to trace thehistoric culture of \ BlackAmericans and do some writingand paintings on the subject forpermanent display. I don't like torefer to myself as a ?"black"artist. I am a "people" artist. Itis also my ambition | to depict(through art) the American lifestyle from the radical sixties ondown through the years.One of my favorite artists wasNorman Rockwell. It may seemunfair Ho other more famous

artists for me to say th at Rock-well attempted * to express hislove for the simple life inAmerica by painting andillustrating people caught up inplain! everyday situations. Herealized, like myself, that mostevents we take for granted arelater thought of as the happiesttimes in our lives. II have an art show coming upFebruary 24 to March 8 in theL.R.C. on campus. Not only artwork will be on display but a lotabout who I am. There will bemusic and dance performed byour own dance department. Also,there will be poetry that waswritten by me and finally the art.work itself. ?This will include

recent drawings and paintings.I'm'really looking forward tosharing this Sunday afternoonreception with as many people asI can. *Art is a part of my philosophyof life. It adds to the excitementof discovering where you belongand trying to get there. For thisreason, most people are excitedby things that don't excite me a tall. I'm different. Sometimes it'sgood to be different because youfind yourself going in the oppositedirection of everybody else. Youdon't have to worry aboutcompetition and the constantstrain of trying to keep up or getahead of the person in front ofyou. i 4 uTim Ward

Seltzer Clears Thel Airby Laurie Jo Kelyma< nndRebecca L. Martin fIn an interview with TheMerciad, MSG president TimSelzter attempted to clarify w hathe felt were misunderstandingsarising from an article in theJan. 11, 1980 issue.- Seltzer feltthe article, which concerned thestudent petition for the candidacyof William P.JGarvey, did notaccurately convey his message.jr'I can't blame the paper in anyway/' said Seltzer. "It's just theway it came across.""It didn't bother me as much asit bothered other people," hecontinued. That's why I'm doingthis (the Interview), I've beentold by other people that I shouldcorrect the wrong that's beendone." j JSeltzer, who quoted as sayingthe Garvey petition "meansnothing," believed his quotes"weren't finished." "I commended the people whodid it,"(the petition) he explained"I know a lot of the signatureswere very valid and they hada lotof force behind them."

However, Seltzer stated furtherthat there were discrepanciesregarding some of the names onthe petition, which he felt neededclarification, j r^"All I got was a petition withnames on it," said Seltzer. "Whydidn't the names come to me? Iam a real person, I'm not a blotchof ink on a piece of paper."He pointed out that only a fewof the people who signed thepetition showed at any of thestudent meetings scheduled forthe specific purpose of studentinput. 33S?^F *P

Continuing, Seltzer state d thatstudents could have reached himpersonally if they were unable toattend the meetings, j"I wasavailable," he said. "I was tryingto make myself very available."Responding j to an editorial(entitled A Secret Society? in theJanuary 11,1980 tissue of TheMerciad, Seltzer attempted -,tojustify the se cretive nature of thepresidential search. :. &?"Right now I guess I'mdefending the presidential searchcommittee as a whole, butmainlyfrom the students perspective.>^ He explained that many of thecandidates requested j con-fidentiality so as not to jeopardizetheir currentfpositions. "Theydidn't {tell their present em-ployers that they were seekinganother job." i S *"I'm sure people can un-derstand that," continuedSeltzer. "If I was working in aplace and looking for a better job,I wouldn't want to jeopordize thejob I have now, If I haven't leastgot a good shot at the other one.That should be understandable."Seltzer also felt that any in-dependent questioning] of thecandidate's campuses couldhave closed doors for the searchcommittee, hindering Ithecommittee's investigation."Since we were the ones thatknew the candidates best andinterviewed them all the waythrough, the responsibility wasleft on our shoulders," he stated."That goes along with the thetoken representation it said TheMerciad, Jan. ^ 11, 1960 betweenfaculty and students."Seltzer stongly denied the idea

REVERBERATIONS By Philips. . And when the smokecleared, there stood Gallagherand the Senate.*^* lf^The preceding might serve as afitting conclusion to the past twoweeks. The chain r of eventstriggered by the president'sproposed program reviewprovided an interesting sideshowto what is supposed to be a"higher" education. '* $ gMany people were given achance to shine. In the samelight, many people were given thechance to bury their headsdeeper in the sand. The activistscame out of the closet and thepeople who fear action andchange threw their heels downand did their best mule imitation.An interesting question to

address all this is, "Where wasthe student body during thefireworks?" The answer un-fortunately is, "nowhere." Someattempts were made to organize,but they were either criticized as"blind action" or- met with ayawn.The funny thing about thecriticism was that it cam e from agroup of people called (for lack ofbetter terms) handsitters.Handsitters are those whowatch and might occasionallywrite a letter to The Merciadexpressing their handsittingview. Of course, after they:, get

through writing, their handsrevert to permanent positions onthe underside of their buttocks.You -should know that 'TheMerciad had a chance to getinto the thick of the programreview controversy. A Merciadstaff member, who had beeneffectively stonewalled by boththe J president and the deanconcerning the proposedprogram cuts, wanted to print aspecial sheet informing itheMercyhurst community of thepresident's intention to bypassthe Senate and go directly to theBoard of Trustees with theprogram cuts.The idea was enthusiasticallyreceived at a student meeting,but it was met with an editoriallysmug adjustment of eyeglassesfollowed by an upstaging "no."The * Merciad's chance tobecome a real "studentpublication" went out the win-dow. The paper will undoubtedlycontinue to wallow inj fen-cesitting. j . Don't blame the students forbeing "nowhere " for thepast twoweeks. With handsitters voicingopinions, leadership thatquestions valid expression ofstudent concern, and a studenteditor that fears anything but adreadfully bland celebration ofthe status quo, how can they beanything else?

of token representation. "In noway *was there j any j tokenrepresentation.'^ J, ' S"To be perfectly honest," hecontinued, "I'd: say that studentsand faculty had the biggest voiceon that committee, the loudestvoice for sure." $g ISeltzer, when asked how he feltabout The Merciad, commentedthat the coverage I of MSGmeetings had been sparse, jj: mJ* "It used to be on page one, nowit's on page three," he com-mented. "We're getting pushedback." M*. "I think MSG has one of the toppriorities, it should be on pageone," he added. LSeltzer feels the reporting ofthe student government meetingsis sparse. It doesn't go into thedetails that it should." '3 |We've had a little problembetween MSG and The Merciad:*,continued Seltzer, ^Either it's alack of. communications or alack of respect, I don't know forsure." *5Seltzer, stating that a numberof people in the MSG had beencomplaining about the meetingcoverage through-out*the year,added that > he hoped to beworking closer with The M erciadin the future."I'd like to have MSG and TheMerciad, since their both themajor; main studentorganizations on campus,working more closely together;instead of the seeming fight it'sbeen."He explained J further thatdifferent .people ("My room-mates in particular") hadremarked that it appeared to be astruggle for power between MSGand The Merciad. | [ S P f"I'm not struggling for power,"commented Seltzer. "I've stillgot another year here.""If it*, seems like there's astruggle for power," he con-cluded, "that's a mistake." mBlack HistoryMonth HereAt The 'Hurst

Such amovie is Kramer vs. Kramer theDustin Hoffman-Meryl Streepvehicle currently screening at theMillcreek Mall Cinema. JJKramer vs. Kramer is a post-feminist film about a male'sdiscovery of those things in thislife th at truly count. In short, TedKramer is a George Up-and-coming advertising executivewho has managed to totallyignore his wife and son to thepoint where the wife feels thatshe must flee to preserve ? hersanity and Ted must ask his sonwhat grade he is inTed havingforgotten.*At the wife's departure, [onebraces oneself for the anticipatedfeminist,polemic; however, themovie takes another turn andinstead follows the gradualdevelopment of a 1 truly lovingrelationship between father andson, For Ted Kramer is not someunfeeling cad, but rather a manwho had only temporarilymisplaced his sense of priorities.When confronted by the choice ofgiving up his son or raising himhimself he naturally chooses thelatter.It is the development of thisfather-son relationship which isthe movie's chief delight, andbasic to this delight is thebrilliance j of Dustin Hoffman'sfinely nuanced performance asthe harried and sensitive father.In fact, acting of a finely tunedsophistication is at the heart ofKramer vs. Kramer's excellence.Hoffman as the father MerylStreep as the mother, JaneAlexander as a solicitous neigh-bor and Justin Henry as the sonare all a revelation; even HowardDuff as an all too realisticallyaccurate reptilian lawyer issuperb.' If the film has a flaw, it is its

ambiguous, if not overtly fantasyinspired, ending -an ending whichmust rattle the teeth of bothfeminists and male ; partisansa likeand brings nothing to mindso much as any of many "StellaDallas1' style weepers of the late30s and-earlv 40s when BetteDavis and Barbara Stanwyck'shearts were, it seems, foreverbeing broken. (I would like to tellyou how it ends, but if have notyetseen it, I don't want to depriveyou of a good cry).All in all, Kramer vs Kramer isworth the price of admission, andiffyou catch it at a bargainmatinee, well, then, it's priceless.Unfortunately, the samecannot be said for AmericanGigolo, the Paul Schrader filmstarring Richard Gere andLauren Hutton about theemotional poverty of a BeverlyHills male prostitute who earnshis keep offering lonely, oldwomen services Welcome Wagonleft out.^The film begins on two tracks,both of* which appare ntly lednowhere, for about two-thirds ofthe way through Schrader takes athird spur into a sado-masochistic-murder-myster y-frame-up subplot not much moreinteresting than your gardenvariety "Barnaby Jones"episode.If the film has a strength, it isthe performance of Richard Gereas Julian Kay, the maleprostitute !

and were not responsiblefor the downfall J of the Shah'sregime." Jife^J *#&* \McQuillen concluded by statingthat die Iranian revolt invokesfear in the Soviets by virtue ofsetting a dangerous precedent inthe Soviet's backyard.Specifically, She felt that i theoverthrow |of the S hah'sauto cratic! government maybreed hope in the hearts ofRussians unhappy with the Sovietdictatorship. *^F IThe panel discussion, which upuntil that point had dealt with thepolitical aspects of the in-ternational crises, took on atheological bent as Dr. Garreltsintroduced g the Monday nightaudience to the Islamic religionand American attitudes towardit. J I i 'Garrelts stated that Carter'sinexperience with the j Moslemworld, and his failure to un-derstand it, have been dangerousoversights."The American people Jhavefailed to appreciate the depth ofMuslim spirituality,*' Garreltssaid, and this is reflected in thefact that American foreign policyis "theologically illiterate."Garrelts - concluded by statingthat the American people mustgain a respect for Islam beforethey can begin to gain an un-derstanding of it. J'' Stating that it is important toview the Iranian situation froman Iranian point of view, Dr.Erisman, the last of the four

panelists, stated that a degree of"residual ^anti-Americanism"had developed aa a result of theUnited State's role in placing andkeeping the Shah in power. ENoting that the Shah was not a"paragon of virtue," Erismanpointed out that it was not dif-ficult to see how anti-Shah sen-timents had evolved to anti-American sentiments.Erisman commented that thehostage situation had providedsuitable means for the militant'sdesire for a world forum citingthat similar action has takenplace in other parts of the world.He pointed out that the hostagesserved as insurance against U.S.intervention in the currentregime of Khomeini. \i i pvAs for U.S. response to;Iran,Erisman felt that concessionsshould be considered as apossible solution, as well asencouraging other Islamic sta testo put pressure on Iran.g Turning to Afghanistan, heconcurred with Bethune thatsecurity advisor Brzezinski'shard line on the Soviets has beena key factor in the President'spolicy-making decisions thus far.He stated that another equallyimportant ij factor in un-derstanding Carter's policy isremembering the fact that 1980 isa presidential election year.Erisman concluded by statingthat Carter will "hang tough."not necessarily because its goodforeign policy, but t ratherbecause "it's good presidentialpolitics."

I realize cutit, that's one thing. But all three'areas | (Political Science,Geology and Thea ter): arecarrying their weight. So ratherthan dismantling those, J weought to be looking for ways ofinducing some planned growthinto those areas, and, also lookfor means by which we canutilize the faculty in a moreeconomical w ay. 'h*Q: Should the college seek morestudents from the Erie area? >A: I see it notonly as feasible, butas absolutely necessary.WE have not had our fair share ofthe local market. Part of it is atuition problem, part of it is animage problem, part of it is due tofactors beyond our control. But Ithink we can increase our localMSG!

enrollment. I think we have to.We need to look for ways to reachin the city and out into the countyin which we take the college tothe people as well as take thepeople to the college. I agree thatwe do not need more dorms ortownhouses and that ourJ out ofown * enrollment has reachedsaturation, but we can even havesome planned' growth therebecause, we have the BaldwinGarden Apartments whichh wehave had for the last 25-30 years.So I am not convinced that wehave reached saturation with thenumber of | our out-of-townstudent needs. But it seems to methat the big thrust has to be inthe Erie County area . We have tolook' for ways to increase localenrollment by at least 25 per cent.Q: In what areas is the collegefailing to meet students needs?A: Well I don't feel the collegeever meets the needs of anycollege student, and I think thatyou would find the same com-plaint at any college in thecountry. SoI'm not surprised thatstudents who are In a high needsituation Would feel that*way.However, we can do a better jobthan, we're doing at this time. Ifrankly? don't feel we'rea ca dem ica l ly ^ dem a ndingenough even though I think we'rean academically sound college.So I think we can be fmorechallenging to a those studentscapable of being challenged. Ifeel that socially and culturallywe have never quite done whatwe wanted to do, and I think thatit is a legitimate area of concern.Fraternities and sororities,which people here didn'toriginally want, seem to be thechief purveyors of socialclimate. We do not have the kindof movies, the kind of talks inthe cultural climate of thecollege setting. Granted, most ofthe people are not interested inthis area, but if only five are,then it should happen, j feel mthis area we are not doing-wellenough. But part of

government. They have one ofthe students largest budgets inthe history of the college, and yetthey continually devote thereresources to, not elevating I theclimate, but to .the majorityculture. I think student govern-ment and the college should enterinto a partnership in making theclimate more stimulating.Spending thousands of dollars ona movie series that can be seen onMonday and Tuesday nighttelevision seems less stimulatingthan at least spending a portion ofthe money on movies that nevermake it to Erie. We've acceptedfor top long that the college en-vironment should be blandbecause that's how our studentswant it to be. The college andstudent government must sharethe responsibility of elevating thestudents culturally and in-tellectually. I know it soundsUtopian and idealistic, but that'show I feel. I think we can be in-dicted on the social and in-tellectual climate, but jit's asnared indictment. | | \ &Q: What is your major ob-jective?' J '', |A: To make the college fiscallysound, academically exciting,and personally . satisfying. Thestress here is academic -I comefrom the ranks of the professors,I think management is im-portant but 15 think academicsare more important.
