Senate submits

final approvalof calendarBy Chris KavskiMerciad Managing Editor

^ The College Senate unanimously ap-proved the new trimester calendar re-cently. \| This approval wasthe final step beforethe endorsement byPresident Dr. WilliamP. Garvey, which has been given, leavingthe college a new calendar. .

The calendar, which includes three 10-1/2 week sessions, was introduced to thefaculty recently. Students will be expected

to take three courses in each term, with one"floating" course. Since students will bebilled in the fall for this class, most w ill beexpected to take the extra course in the FallTerm. I K jll"

The trimester system has been kept toretain the "Mercyhurst advantage" foradult students. With three terms rather thantwo, adult students can overload and finishmuch faster than with a semester schedule.

Garvey is currently in his eighth year asPresident here at Mercyhurst and has beenaffiliated with the college for 25 years. Duringhis eight years here, the college has experi-enced a renewed commitment to academicdistinction, w hile enjoying a record enroll-ment of 1,900 students.û Garvey earned a B.A. degree from Gan-non University and M.S. and Ph.D. degreesfrom the University of Pittsburgh.!

He is currently chairman of Niagara PlaceInc. and serves as a board member of theEriePort Authority, the Erie Conference forCommunity Development, the Erie Chamberof Commerce, theErie County Mental HealthServices Inc., and the Edmund L. Thomas

Center.The honoree also serves on the boards of

the Foundation for Independent Colleges inPennsylvania, the Irish-American Partner-ship, and the Association of Mercy Colleges.He was recently chairman of the CentennialCelebration of the E rie Soldiers and SailorsHome. • f * m 3 mjk 'm* . w i n

In 1987, Garvey received the Liberty BellAward from the Erie County Bar A ssociation.In 1984, he received the Gannon UniversityOutstanding Alumnus Award, and in 1982,was selected by the greater PhiladelphiaChamber of Commerce as one of its Distin-guished Pennsylvanians.

The search committee is in the processof checking the references of the finalcandidate, Dr. Dennis Travis. If Travis isacceptable to the committee, it will recom-mend him to Dr. Garvey within the nexttwo weeks, McQuillen said. "Dr. Garveystill has the option to d sappro ve our rec-ommendation." I

If this happens the committee hasseveral options. "W e may look back atsome application sor sound out others whodidn't apply," McQuillen said, f "Or we

I Mercyhurst professors attendNPS conference weekend

By Brenda LoweMerciad staff reporter

The National Playwright Show-case (NPS) sponsored a conferenceweekend on February 12-14 inWashington, D.C.

The conference scheduled workshops and lectures discussing theprocess in finding, developing andthe production of new Americanplays.

The showcase was initiated in1913 because there was a need forAmerican plays. "Mostof theplayson Broadway are British such as

CATS and The Phantom of theOpera. I feel that there is a need forgood American plays," said IgorS talsky, associate professor of the-atre.

The conference w as intended bypeople who work behind the scenesin the theatre such as directors,producers and actors.

The NPS is headed by directorPaul Iddings, assistant professor oftheatre, who brings both a profes-sional and academic background tothe program. Iddings has directed,acted and taught in New York City,Washington, D.C. and Erie. He hasdirected over fifty productions.

IjFf Before coming to Mercyhurst,

Iddings owned the first dinner-the-atre in the nation in Williamsburg,Va. and it was there where he pro-duced/directed his first worldpremiere, After Dark.*

The competition is opened toeveryone and it is advertised at col-leges and trade magazines. A totalof 400 to 500 scripts are sent eachyear. The entries are read by twodifferent members of a committeeof 25 and if heplay receives twoyesvotes, Stalsky reads it; if the script

gets two no's, it is sent back to theauthor. After| Stalsky reads theentries given to him, if they aregood, he passes them to Iddingswho m akes the final decision.

jjApproximately 12 plays areconsidered finalists and from them,a minimum of two and an alternateare chosen for production.

The NPS is an exciting conceptin keeping^ with the liberal fartsatmosphere at Mercyhurst Thegoals of the program are to promoteand encourage good original the-atre, to increase tiie quality of the

plays received for considerationand to make the playwrights nation-ally known. '•

Deadline for entries is annuallyMa^ch 1st For more informationon the program, contact Paul Id-dings at the Mercyhurst Little The-atre.

Computerized voting discussed

By Margaret CoffeyMerciad MSG reporter

At last week's MSG meeting the idea of votinglTor offices bycomputer wasdicussed. A student's Social Security number would beentered and the candidates would appear on the screen. The studentwould then punch in the candidate of their choice.

MikeK elly.HJU .M. representative, suggested that MSG givesomemoney to the theatre productions. This money would allow studentswith Mercyhurst IJLVs to get in to the plays for free on Friday andSaturday nights. This idea was tabled until a representative from thetheatre production can come in and talk to MSG. -j

In other news, SAC will hold a "Family Feud" competition thisweekend and the movie' When a Stranger Calls' * will be shown at3and 7 on Sunday. 'Last week's Mr. Mercyhurst competition wascancelled.

"I think that one thing thatiimpressed the selection committeeIwas the fact that Chris was a localIperson," Dore said. "A lot ofI times, local people who don't liveon campus aren 't involved. ChrisCuzzola was one of these students

I that isn't a resident here, he's acommuting student but still findstime to get involved." Dore addedthathe believesCuzzola hasa genu-ine concern for Mercyhurst whichwas reflected in his service.

Cuzzola is a Big Brother in theVolunteers in Probation O rganiza-tion, a volunteer at the CampusMinistry, and helped in organizingthe hockey team. "I think what itreally came down to is we wereimpressed at his diversity," Doresaid, A

i g$* Basically, I guess, the grounds^ for awarding me the service awardis because of the time I dedicated,' *Cuzzola said. When a certain re-porter suggested Tom Dore's idea

£ that diversity and the fact that| Cuzzola is a commuter most influ-lenced the committee, Cuzzola re-| plied, ' When I first came here, I| wast a commuter in the strictest

sense. I kept my books in my car| and just wentto class. But everyone|a tCampus Ministry is a great person

and when I got involved with theh Campus Ministry the fall of myjunior year, things really startedfalling into place. I really felt like I

was part of this school and whenyou feel like you're part of some-thing, it's much easier to get in-volved."

It is surprising that Cuzzolareceived the award*which coversfour years of service since he trans-ferred to Mercyhurst afterattendingthree other colleges. "I was reallysurprised [that he won the award]especially when'I heard the otherpeople that were running. I knowmost of them and they're all reallygreat peop le," Cuzzola said*

'I would really like to thank Sr.Lisa Mary because she and thewhole English Department nomi-nated me, which was really nicesince it's my major," Cuzzoia said.Cuzzola also said the award wasgratifying because it was given for'service that was meant to be re-turned in any way.

Cuzzola said he'snotdefiniteonhis plans after graduation, butwould like to stay involved in theMercyhurstcommunity and serviceto others. Cuzzola sa id,' WhateverI do it's going to be some type ofservice. I just know that no matterwhat I donext year, it's going to besomething about helping peoplebecause people ate what's impor-tant in the world." %

Student feels decisions made

for administration's convenience

Dear Editor,

I just finished reading the latest edition of TheMerciad. My attention was drawn to twoparticular articles - first, the academic calendar and second, the speed bump article.

This calendar issue is getting to be a little boring and old hat We, the students, really havelittle control over what goes on at this school. The administration thinks for us.

Being a senior and graduating in the spring, I feel sorry for the underclassmen who mustsuffer under this change in the calendar AGAIN. if * :

Question:Why didn't they leave the calendar as itwas before the 1987-88 school year? Thatis basically what they are going back to anyway. My theory is that the puppet administratorsbuckled under pressure from upper management Good luck, underclassmen, and I hope thiscalendar works ou t i f $ f §§ 1

The other issue that caught my eye was the speed bump issue. Your article pointed out thatseveral people of qualified positions disagreed with the speed bumps. Why not ask the

administrators to investigateliability insurance and maybe they will eliminate the speed bumps,as they did the ridiculous bottle club idea for the student union.

Maybe we do have liability insurance, but that's not the point It has been one thing on topof another for four years, where administrators only do things convenient for themselves, notnecessarily the students. I like to refer to it as * Mercyworld.''

Thank vou for listening to me.

Sincerely,A frustrated senior

P.S. Tell them toput speed bumps throughout the whole college if they are concerned withspeeders. I* I

Dear frustrated: I agree that thecalendar issue is boring in the sense that is seems tonever end. But the "second" new calendar which will definitely be pu t into effect nextyear will bewith Mercy hurst for fiveyears, m inimurn.That should end the calendar issue.An issue which will live on, however, is one that is of great concern to me and that is theapparent lack of importance placed on the voice of the students here at Mercyhurst

College. This calendar may have been put to a vote, bu t no t a school-wide vote which Ifeel is necessary when a decision of this magnitude is being considered.

Crimewatch takes big stepin right direction

By Matthew J. ClarkMerciad Editor

Last week Mercyhurst officiallystarted a Campus Crimewatch pr o-gram as a means of deterring crime.Less than one week later, the pro-gram paid its irstofficial dividends.

A man who was accused ofopen lewdness" in the LRC read-

ing ioom at 1 the Hammermill Li-brary, pled guilty to those offenseslast week. As Mercyhurst's Direc-tor of Security, Merril Dever put it,this case is "a perfect example of

how the new Campus Crimewatchprogram can work if everyone getsinvblved."

The Crimewatch program is oneof the best ideas introduced at thiscollege since I began attendingherein September, 1985. Crime is some-thing that effects all of us here.Every time something i s vandalizedor stolen, it costs the college moneywhich, in turn, costs the studentsmoney via increased tuition cos ts.

A program like C rimewatch, ifcorrectly operated, should lessencrime and since crime has been amajor problemton this campus oflate, it's the best possible decisionthat could have been reached as ameans of controlling the it

Some recent crimes that come tomind are, of course, the big heist ofMSG in which nearly $3,000 wastaken. The m oney still hasn't beenfound and may never be recovered.Several uniforms were stolen thisyear from the Campus C enter. Eacharticle that gets stolen, howeversmall it may be, adds up. If enoughthings are stolen, the costs can bestaggering. \ *.

Ifone$3 0 jersey is stolen, that* snot a great financial blow to theAthletic DepL and MercyhursL Butimagine if 10 or 20 jerseys are sto-len. The cost for replacement be-comes considerable.

With the Crimewatch program,crimes and vandalism like these canbe prevented. That's right, pre-vented. By getting the students di-rectly involved in the crime preven-tion process, campus security isadding anarsenal o f eyes and ears

• Maybe they were available be-fore but they just were not encour-aged to offer their help to security.No w that has changed. TheCrime-watch program notonly encouragesstudents to be active with campussecurity, italso increases the knowl-

edge students have of their securitydepartment and that's probably thebiggest benefit of this program.

I applaud those who decided tostart this program here and I hopethat more ideas of this nature beginto surface. The college needs torealize that the key to a smoothrunning institution is the relation-ship between administration and itsstudents.

J March is{ National NutritionMonth and as you mayfhave no-

ticed, the Mercyhurst Student Die-tetic Association has been busymaking displays promoting goodnutrition. M

Nutrition has been a hot topicthese past few years, and with thewellness* era now in full swing,everyone wants to know more andmore about * eating right'' Unfor-tunately, there ia a lot of misinfor-mation out there that people^ arelistening to and following. Thisquackery ranges from the ultimateweight loss diet to prevention ofcancer with a single food. Althoughthese nutrition plans may soundgreat, and simple, they may beharmful ' i |

In the m idst of all this nutritionconfusion lies the eternal question—

"What should I eat to stayhealthy?" Believe it or not, theanswer to this question j is quitesimple. Follow the Dietary Guide-lines for Americans. The UnitedStates Department of Agriculture,along with the Department ofHealth and Human Services, has

developed seven daily guidelines.

1. EAT A VARIETY OFFOODS | ;-%m

2. MAINTAIN DESIRABLE

BODY WEIGHT ;fa. AVOID TOO MUCHFAT,

HOLIC BEVERAGES, DO SOIN MODERATION l

5. % AVOID TOO MUCHSUGAR! ! - Ii!*6. AVOID TOO MUCH SO-

much of anything is not healthy, soeat a variety of foods. Include thefourbasic food groups in your dailydiet; breads, dairy , meats, fruits andvegetables. The individual nutrientsfrom each of these groups all haveavital role and also work together to

enhance each other.Eating a variety of foods and

eating in moderation can help youmaintain your |body weight Be-coming overweight and being over-

weight is big concern with collegestudents. The last five guidelinescan help here. | |

First, avoid too much fat, satu-rated fat and cholesterol. Fat is notonly butter, but is hidden in Criedfoods, skins of poultry, whole milkand whole milk products. Fat con-tains nine calories per gram com-pared to four calories per gram incomplex carbohydrates.

This brings us to starch andfibe r. Starches and complex carbo-hydrates contain many nutrients,are lower in calories than fats andprovide a good source of energy.Fiber not only works as a laxative,but also may aid in prevention of

some cancers.When choosing carbohydrates

one . must remember to choosecomplex carbohydrates\andVnotsimple sugars. Too much sugar justadds calories and unnecessaryweight gain. Also, the burst of en-ergy they provide only lasts for ashort time. So, before the big raceyou're better off eating pasta than

eating a candy bar.Too much sodium or salt|in-

creases blood pressure and can alsoincrease weight by causing waterretention in the blood. There is a lotof naturally occurring sodium infoods, so taste before you shake —you may like i t

Finally, drink alcohol in mod-eration. We have all seen the infa-mous "beer-belly." If you drink,try light beers and wines and do soin moderation. Also, if you drink,donot substitute alcohol for food tocompensate! for calories. Alcoholdoes not provide the nutrients yourbody needs. j;

during his radio

By Chris KovskiMerciad Managing Editor

•With a flip of a switch, jBillHogan comes to life.

* 'All right, he weather for theErie areaand vicinity. Snow flurriestonightwithan accumulation o f 1 to5 inches by morning. Clear skies onFriday and a good weekend comingup,'' Hogan informs his listeners onWMCY, the campus AM radio sta-tion, * *

He turns off his microphone andsays, "Actually, the forecast onlycalls for 1 to 2 inches, but I always

add a little bit I haven't been wrongy e t" I *p Hogan's on-air playfulness isonly one aspect of what he consid-ers to be his strongest asset - hissense of humor. "I get along wellwith people because I'm outgo-ing," he says. "I've been com-pared to Sam Kinneson (a contem-porary stand-up comed ian)."

Editorial

Campus could offer

ideaLDean candidateBy Ann Johnson/Merciad News Editor

The*Dean Search Committeerecently narrowed the fie ld of 110applicants to three, but the finalistshave done even more narrowing ontheir own. * |

Two of the three dropped fromthe race. Did they see something atMercyhurst that the teachers hereknew? 4 -*j

Teachers at Mercyhurst mustknow something about the job's

requirements, because none o f the110 applicants was from the com-munity. •**

Why didn't anyone from Mer-cyhurst apply to be the next Aca-demic Dean? \

iMaybe they were discouragedfrom applying, either directly orindirectly.

Hiring from outside has itsmerits. If the candidate is not fromMercyhurst, he or she may bringnew ideas, may hold no alliances orallegiances to any group and mayshow no biases.

But hiring from without is notthe only solution, nor is it necessar-ily the best one. Someone already

on campus also may bring newideas,hold no alliances and show nobiases.*

According to the The SearchCommittee Handbook: A Guideto Recruiting Administrators, acollege shouldn * t he afraid to pro-mote someone on campus. "Therule [at well-run corporations] is,hire carefully' at the entry level,nurture the people you have, moni-

tor performance and alter thejob ifnecessary, then promote fromwithini A pattern of con tin ualexter-nal searches may be a sign of short-horizon management," the hand-book says.

IfMercyhurst hires ro m within,the candidate starts already know-ing the immediate and importantissues, and understanding the sys -tem of governance.

/Maybe other reasons kept an y-one from the Mercyhurst campusfrom applying for the Dean's job.

' Maybe nobody at Mercyhurst isqualified, or at least no one thinkshe/she is.

Or imaybe it's the pay that'ssending the candidates elsewhere.If Mercyhurst cannot offer enoughtolure applicants, it may end up withsomeone who's less than qualified.

• Maybe the job is unattractivebecause of the workload and stressinvolved, j Mercyhurst gets biggerevery year, and yet it still has onlyone Academic Dean. Maybe theproblems Mercyhurst! faces liketeacher evaluations, enrollment andupgrading standards require morethan one person to solve them.

Being a member of the DeanSearch Committee

mustbe discour-

aging. For most jobs the applicantstry tosellthemselves to the potentialemployer. But at Mercyhurst itseems that the committee is trying tosell the school to potential em ploy-ees. I £

And still they're having littlehick. Even after the socials andtours to welcome the candidates,Mercyhurst is down to one candi-date who is willing to take the job.

ffiMCYDJ

Hogan flips 'Hurst with humorLike Kinneson, Hogan is soft-

spoken. "Most people don't knowthat I'm fairly intelligent," Hogansays. I

But as soon as the "On Air"light flashes, the funny man takes

over. J 'Okay, this is Bill Hogan withyou on WMCY. I'mgetting kind oflonely here, so call me. If you havea request, give me a call and I'llplayit," he pleads. f f g

Switching off the microphoneagain, he says, "I've been doingthis stuff for seven years now, eversince my junior year in highschool."

For Hogan, 22 , working as a DJat Mercyhurst is a change.' 'I was a

communications major at the Uni-versity of Dayton for a while, buttheir communications departmentwasn't what I wanted," Hoganadmits. i & m

He's a history major now andsays he's happy. "I ended up atMercyhurst because I wanted to getout of Dayton. My parents flivethere, and I iust wanted to set awav

from home. Besides, Mercyhursthas one of the best history depart-ments around,'' Hogan says.

With a history degree, he couldgo into teaching, "but I'd rather gointo working for the government -the CIA or NSA (National SecurityAdministration),'' he says. | I

He's happy with where he is inlife, but as a senior graduating inNovember,I he's always lookingahead. "I'm satisfied for now,school's going well, but that's not tosay that I'll sit back.!I want a greatdeal out of my future,'' he says. Hewants "the usual things — a house,a family, all of that,'' he adds.

Hisphilosophy of life bears outthatattitude. "I let myself beguidedby two things. One, things can onlyget better. N o matter how bad theyseem, they're going to improve.

"Two, what goes around,comes around. If someone screwsyou, they'll get theirs eventually. Imight not be the one to get back atthem, but someone will, some-time' ' he savs. as he settles back in

his chair. "S o I don't let the littlethings bother me,'' he asserts.

As the 5-foot-10-inch Hoganleans back in hischair, he grins andsays,' 'Peoplewou Id be surprised tolearn that I was once skinny."

IHis presentbulk belies the inter-est Hogan has always had in sports.He played football in high school,and would someday like to get intocoaching. "I love sports, but I'vehad three knee operations so I can'tplay any more. I'll watch anything— football especially/' Hogan says.

| For future aspirations, Hogan

says," I migh t go into politics. Votefor Bill — a six-pack of Heineken inevery fridge and a bottle in everyhand. I want to be me. I don't wantto be anyone else."

His joking about politics isanother way he lives up to his heri-tage. He says, "I guess I'm just agood Irish Catholic boy who likes todrink....Maybe that's redundant"

Dunkin* with DeeganMarch is finally upon us and with that comes playoffs.

This past weeken d our own Mercyhurst Lakers got a taste

of playoff competition in the MECC Tournament that was

held at Gannon . LeMoyne came outon top, beating Gannon

in a overtim e victory. In the other college divisions, the

teams are battling it out to see which of them w ill enter the

tournament on the road to the Final Four.

On the ice the hockey teams are also battling it out to

remain on top of their division and get a playoff birth.

At th e high school level the area team s are gearing up in

the District playoffs. The players are looking to get a chance

to take on the best in the state at Hershey.

Mar ch is also when the baseball teams of the north headsouth for spring training. No wonder why this month has

been named "March Ma dnes s." There are so many things

happening that it can really just about fit anybody's taste.

Spring Fever has arrived and all around campus the students

arc enjoying friendly?games of baseball. As you can see

"March Ma d n e s s " ;has hit?the 'Hurst, and it was well

received.
