Pirates To Broadcast On WMCYWMCY, the campus radio sta-tion, has become the affiliate ofthe Pittsburgh Pirates.Through the efforts of WMCYProgram Director, Rick Wendt,Faculty Advisor, Steve Curcio

"This lis agolden oppo rtunity. We^ havesomething no one else has,therefore, Pirate fans in Erie willhave to listen to WMCY throughTelemedia.The station has not startedbroadcasting the games as of yet,however, the scheduled games willbegin as soon as the phone linesfrom WFRA irifFranklin, ^Penn-sylvania are\ fed into-the studio.Wendt says he is anticipating Sun-day May 27 as the first* day ofPirate broadcast. &There is no costjpnvolved with,the installation of WFRA lines toWMCY, but* the hook up to

Although students will be homefor summer vacation at the timeof the first game 7on WMCY,students who remain on campuswill hear all the Pirate gamesthroughout the summer, Wendtsaid.jThe program director is pleasedwith the Pirate organization andtheir faith in the college to runevery single-game. "That's a bigresponsibility," he said. "We areup with the professionals becausewe are an amateur radio stationWith a professional service."To notify the other local mediaof fthe Pirate-WMCY contractagreement, WMCY has tentative-ly scheduled a *press conferencefor Monday, May 21, in the base-ment of Baldwin Hall.In addition to hearing all of thePirate games, Telemedia willrebroadcast the station's music asbackground listening for the cablecompany's message channel.

DJ's on WMCY will now havea wider audience, Wendt said.They will have more listenersbeyond the gates of the college, headded. I jWMCY hasi also acquired! aCanadian radio station,*CFPL,from London, Ontario. The con-temporary adult format can nowbe? heard on WMCY after itsregular broadcast hours. CFPLbecomes a part of WMCY pro-gramming between 1 a.m. and 11a.m. IThis particular station wasselected because it contains a for-mat geared towards collegestudents, jWendt stated. CFPLsigned with WMCY this week sothe additional programming isavailable at this time. ?.Providing the campus withanother radio station |. allowsWMCY to maintain a^24 hourbroadcast schedule. This shouldprevent-students from changingtheir dial when WMCY is not air-ing its*regularly scheduled pro-grams, Wendt said.During the summer, Wendtwould like to see WMCY DJ 's dolocal programming prior to aPirate game. After the game,WMCY will air more local pro-gramming and then resume thesounds of CFPL.

From the

Olympic Tradition;Does Still Exist?Students thriv e on challenge in the classroom while athletesthrive on challenge on the field, on the courts and in thewater. Human instinct drives us to compete not only withourselves but with an opponent.Some contenders' will be missed this summer in LosAngeles. The Soviet's decision to boycott the 1984 SummerOlympics has dampened the competition.It's been overweight years since the United States hassatiated their competitive!appetites with the Soviets and itlooks like it's going to^be another fourjbefore we meet themface to face once again in this prestigious competition.It seems the dice in this so called game are in the hands ofth e goverttment. This is not the first time this has happened.In 1980, the United S tates pulled out of the games as a meansof showing the Test of the world we did no tiapprove of^theSoviet invasion of Afganistan.What's at stake? The political*struggles of each cotifttry orthe athletes themselves. IAs it wasrin 1980, so it wul be in 1984, the athletes are theones deprived of a challenge.The m erchants in L os Angeles will still make a profit fromits increase in sales over the two week period and ABC televi-sionlwill increase its audience due to Olympic coverage.Two powerful countries such as the United States andRussia are playing childish games at the expense of the

athletes. 'The U.S. did not attend the games in 1980 so they turnedaround and slapped us in the face four years later.The Soviets do want to challenge our athletes. In turn, ourathletes want to display their talents among the best fromaround the world, itTo prevent further Olympic boycotts, the Olympic Com-mittee should designate a specific country for each of thewinter and summer Olympics. It may be a difficult" task atfirst,but the end result will benefit the athletes.

LetterWere We Wasting-Ttrne?.

Dear Editor,I'm writing this letter inresponse to Steve Curcio'seditorial on jPWasting*Time?"Printed in the May 11 issue of TheMerciad. 1 agree with his assertionthat there should be more studentinput at the level where policy iscreated. I also agree that you ac-complish less if you react "afterthe process is completed." But theprocess was not completed.I disagree with his contentionthat the change was "a very minorone," and that the students "werereally spinning their wheels andnot getting anywhere." The

original proposal lessened thetime for the notification of t he in-tent to appeal from one week to48 hours. The concern of thestudents and some faculty waswhether 48 hours was enough timefor the student to notify th e Direc-tor of Student Development ofhis-her appeal.I believe we got a lot ac-complished at that meeting,amending the proposal to 72hours, including a provision totake into account extenuating cir-cumstances and a'provision thatthe student must be informed of

his right to appeal when hreceives a write-up. I belatter provision to be reatant, regardless of the timinvolved.H was pleased final proposal and wouvoted for it if| I hadprivileges at that meeting|Would it have been have had all that accompthe committee level?; Yeswould even have been But were we "wasting timI don't think so.Respectfully,Dean Hall

History Brought To Life:Students Take Trip To VirginiaBY CHRIS CHMIELIEWSKI*Many of us tend to think ofhistory as a distant past that waspopulated by fictional characters.

George Washington tends to bemore of a legend than a real figuresince the first things that manypeople?? associated with him areeither cherry trees or dollar bills.However , for Dr. BarryGossman's-' Founding FathersClass, which studied GeorgeWashington, Thomas Jefferson,Alexander Hamil ton, JohnAdams, and James Madison,history became 'real % instead ofmythical, when they took a fiveday trip to [Virginia the weekendof May 11. There they had the op-portunity -to relive the colonialAmerica they had only discussedin class.The trip was funded by theAcademic Enrichment Fund andalso by a personal donation fromthe Mercyhurst College PresidentDr. William P. Garvey. The pur-pose of the trip,| according itoGrossman, was to "take historyand bring it to life." Grossmansaid that it was a combination ofpolitical science and history whichemphasized how the people livedand worked. Through this ex-perience, it brought history intothe realm of reality. ^^^ *aBesides "bringing history tolife," Grossman also stressed thatthe trip was Important for the"spirit of community" that isfosters among students which isless likely to happen i in aclassroom setting. On a trip likethis, which include two nights ofcamping, students had to dependmore on each other. Whereas, in a

classroom you are more apt to sitnext to someone all term andnever communicate with thenuThe trip included accommoda-tions at Seven Oaks Plantation;camping; visits to Monticello,Ash lawn, Michey Tavern, Univer-sity of Virginia, Mount Vernon,Colonial Williamsburg, and theGovernor's Palace; and a look atan 18th century play.For two evenings the group of14 stayed at Seven Oaks Planta-tion, which is a plantation that ex-isted during the 1850s. The groupstayed in what are now known as4'The Cottages" but what werethen used as quarters for theslaves.g In addition, they alsoreceived a tour of the^ entire

>plantation. |The group also viewed thehomes* of the founding fathersand other colonial figures such asJe f f e r so n ' s f M o n t i c e l l o ,Washington's Mount Vernon,and James M onroe's Ashlawn. Ateach home they were given aspecial tour which was moredetailed than the scheduled dailytours. This allowed the students tosee many of the sections of thesehomes that are closed to thegeneral public. jAnother stop on the tour wasthe University of ..Virginia whichwas founded by Thomas Jeffer-son. Not only did he found thecollege, he designed every

building, wrote the curriculumand hired all the professors. Manystudents found it* interesting thatthe University still uses the honorsystem whereby you take your ex-am without a teacher hoveringover you.And in orderito get a feel forthe social atmosphere of that timeperiod they visited Michey Tavernwhere they were served an authen*tic 18th century meal.A large portion of the trip wasspent at Colonial Williamsburgwhich is a town reconstructed tomodel the 18th century. Themonies for reconstruction Icamefrom John D. % Rockefeller whodonated 5 million dollars torestoring 88 structures which stillexisted from colonial times. SoWilliamsburg looks like it didfrom 1699-1780 complete withcobblestone streets* blacksmithshops, and taverns. Also inWilliamsburg is the Governor'sPalace which is the British gover-nors lived in colonial times.

In the Palace the audience par-ticipates in a mock set up of theGovernor's Palace. 4The group ended the trip by at-tending the* play "Slave Doctor"an 18th cent uryt farce. The &playtended to be bawdy* and manypeople didn't expect that becausethey thought *all colonists werep u r i t a n i c a l , a c c o r d i n g toGrossman. *M E R C I A D P O S I T I O N S A V A I L A B L E IWe are seeking reporters, typists and photographers fornext year.

College Informs StudentsOn Availablility OfMoney(CPS) A major reason morestudents do not get some form offiancial aid is that the students donot know how to apply for theaid, according -to the NationalStudent Aid Coalition;}Director of Mercyhurstfrinan-cial Aid, Catherine Crawfordclaims this is not the case here onthe Mercyhurst Campus. Crawford cites the MercyhurstFinancial Aid workshop for highschool students, and aid lectureswithin the community as a meansof informing' students of theavailable aid. The Financial AidOffice also solicits? outsidescholarships from private sourcesthat have been beneficial for otherstudents.A College Board study released

estimates that 52 percent ofAmerican college students receivesome sort of financial aid.Crawford citesi thatf within thepast two or three years, 100 per-cent of'the Mercyhurst studentshave been offered some type ofaid, in the form of loans, jobs orgrants. * sjCrawford says that most ofMercyhurst's available aid is con-sumed. ^There are some reservefunds which are available if theneed arises. They include apackage grant, emergency fundsand their own money.jIncluded in the emergencyfunds is the Walker Loan fundContributed by a local doctor, thefundr makes available short-termloans. The Walker Loan fund has

Catherine Crawfordloaned out $48,000.The Financial Aid office saysthat a "good^percentage"jof itsstudent loans are paid back.
