GUIDELINES FOR GRANTING CREDITIN EXPERIENCEDLEARNING

The following proposal was recently passed by the ExecutiveCouncil andis now in effect: 5 I \

Experienced learning is that mode of learning which resultsfrom non-classroom, off-campus experiences. It is recognizedthat because experimental learning is a valuable and desirablesupplement to the morestructured theoretical;learning of aclassroom setting, formal academic credit may* be selectivelyawarded.

Letter To The Editor

STUDENTS MISS OUTWhere have all the Mercyhurst students gone? C ertainly not to

the Choir Concert. Youwouldn't; catch 'em dead there. ChoirConcert? W hat's that?Only crazypeople go tohear thatstuff.

Well, if tha t's the c ase, Mercyhurst students, w here were you?You were crazy to have missed it.A handful of people constitutedthe audience, and if one didn't count all the grade-school kids thatcame,the Choir would have outnumb ered the a udience. That h as tobe one of the saddest statements that can be made about Mercyhurst. P \ I )

Why did the Choir have to go to Rochester to be appreciated?Why did it have a great success there? Do they have a differentbreed of people in Rochester that can appr eciate a good thing whenthey hear it? Unfortunately, the Mercyhurst students don't haveenough school spirit to even tryto find out whether th e Choir is goodor not. | I j

Not all of it is the students' fault. Some of the blame must beplaced on the Administration. Sure, we can sendour athletes allover the creation, but when it comes to the Choir...well, there isn'tenough money. T heChoir ha s to scrounge around for m oney to go toRochester. M ^5 *

t: Maybe people need personal invitations to attend the performances. Maybe the Concert wasn't publicized enough. Maybethe Choir m embers should have beggedon their knees for people tocome and hear their melodious voices. Maybe Mr. Brooks, thedirector, should have asked pretty please with maple syrup andbrown sugaron top for financial support for the Choir. Is that what

^it takes to getthis college moving?OliviaLongo J * |

What 5 My Line?By T. M. Cat , Special Reporter

The Senior Exhibition of Art inthe LRC has attra cted a fancifulassortment of connoisseurs andwanderers. Here follows my ownportraitof the group. |

The first thing which caughtmy eye at the exhibit was thesight of a man circling alife-sizestatue of Aphrodite. Evidently,the artist noticed this spectacle,too, and approached the man. Itwas Math prof Max Cuppe. Heturned to the artist andsaid, "Isthis your statue? I calculate thatthe circumference of\ pointsaround the widest* part of thefigure locates the center of thecircle in the space ! betweenAphrodite's arm and waist. Thisplaces the center of gravityin thechest area, well above normal.And yet the statue stands unsupported. It'san amazing feat!"

The artist, mouth agape, staredat Max, then I mustered enoughvocal strength tosayj"I neverreally thought ofit that way."jM |

Over by a wall, a group of menhad assembled and appeared tobe discussing a? painting. Imoseyed over toHhe paintingbeside it and eavesdropped.Biologist Sonny Scalon wassaying, "I thinkrepresentation ofstructure a of the

it s a fmethe cellularesophagus."

Psychologist Stu Confederatedisagreed."It looks to me like anink blot replica of a car with asmashedfender.' I^Historian DavejRennie spokeup. "I think you gentlemen are

missing the point. The paintingdepicts the historical movementof man from the iron age to thespace age. See the plough in theleft corner and the s atelliteon theright?"

'You're!close,"I said! PadreWhiteplain.j"But {the picturereally L shows the interactionbetween God andMan I throughnaturefinj th e| context of anevolutionary process."- ! |

But drama prof Greg Corralskilaughed and said, "I think you'remaking .too much of this.Remember this is the apatheticgen era t io n^I t ' s ; probably asurrealistic rendering! oflaBudweiser labe l." j

At; that point, thelartist, RayMaucaw, was walking by. Padrecalled to him and asked what the

painting represented. Ray lookedat the group as if surprised bytheir bewilderment. "Why, it's adesert with a cactus here andthere,"he replied. k

FARM W ORKERS BO YCOTTby KathyiSummers 9 H | WKm

A boycott of non-UFW head lettuce and gra pes is in progres s, insupport offarm workerswho are on strike in California and Arizona

The United Farm Workers of America, led by Cesar Chavez, arestruggling to re-gain contracts with the growers which expired in1973.These contracts were won after an extended strike and consumer boycott. However, when they expired last year, the growerssigned "sweetheart" contracts with the Teamsters' Union. Theworkers, themselves,had no voice in these contrac ts and respondedby going on strike. Due to the availability of strikebreakers, a

successful consumer boycott is necessary for the farm workers toattain the justice they deserve. The UFWA is asking for secretballot elections for the wo rkers to choose what union they want torepresent t h e m . f i B l P ffffSBiffl
