After two months of sluggish sailing, the Mercyhurst Weekend College has been put In • drydock '.

As of November 15, the end of the F all Quarter, theWeekend College Program, launchedJn Septemberamidst much publicity ami great expectations, will"temporarily" be put out of commission. . ••

Among the reasons that have been given for thewithdrawl of the Weekend College from active

service is a lack of response from the Brie Community* As Dean Garvey, the overseer of theprogram, put it: "We felt that the*response to theprogram wasn't strong and that we entered the fieldtoo late.'1 The Dean also noted the uncertainty thatexisted at the birth of the program - which hadoriginally been organized as a Federal Grantprogram - when the administration had to make thedecision regarding the program's future in light ofthe federal money's failure to come through. Final

by'Pat Weschler •

go-ahead for the Weekend College was issued onlytwo weeks prior to the holding of Its first classes.

An outside factor also contributed to the failure ofthe Weekend College to^meet its* optimisticenrollment projections. This was the overall declinein enrollment of" Erie;area night and weekendeducation programs. At Gannon College, where anestablished program has misted for many years,

there had been a continuing downturn in theirenrollment for the progra m. {

1 • The Dean did point out that"the Weekend Collegemanaged to break even during the Fall term . At thesame time, the college administration Judged theWeekend Program a possible fiscal risk and optednot to take the risk during a budget-conscious Wintert e r m . I $

While the program is in drydock, it is hoped thatrestructuring to make the program more viable and

attractive can be accomplished. The revampedWeekend College would then reemerge at thebeginning of Spring Qua rter,

Dean Garvey stressed that the Weekend College isstill a program full of potential. "It gives people achance to go to school and continue their education,without interfering with their regular working hours,or taking them away from their families every week

day evening.'* The Dean noted that the program hasmet with great success elsewhere. >

The key to the Weekend College success, DeanGarvey asser ts, is related directly to the number ofnew students attracte d to Mercyhu rst "We brought25 new people onto the campus through this program,and for this reason, the program w as not a m istake.We plan, budget permitting, to bring the WeekendCollege back in the Spring, and give it a chance togrow and gain acceptance in the Erie community.91

Student reactions were largely negative followinglast week's publication of the list of Intersessioncourse offerings at the Hurst.

Among the major student gripes having to do withIntersession was the complaint tha t course selectionwas very limited, and unappealing to those studentswho sought courses of a general gnature. As onestudentput f™ !Either*ttie courses are too specializedor they're Mickey Mouse courses." Another studentadded, ^'There's no real selection of good, generalinterest courses...too many of the courses arecompletely useles s."

Another grievance had to do with the length ofIntersession. As a result of last week's administration move to eliminate the three class daysthat had been wedged in betweenfthe end-of-termbreak and the Thanksgiving break, Intersession isnow down to thirteen class days. Several students feltthat not much could be accomplished in any subjectin only thirteen classes. One student suggested thatthey "should zap Intersession all together. Threeweeks isn't long enough to learn anything of valu e.''

At the same time, arguments were also J)ut forward by other students, faculty members, and administrators who felt;that attacks1

on Intersessionwere much more harsh than was justified. They

Ac t i on Projects '" G e t Things Done

by Joanie Stevenson

Four Mercyhurst students are constructing aplayground near the Baldwin Gardens A partments as !part of an "Action Project" for their course, "TheEnvironment". |

The students: Helen Schryver, Tina Reicbenbach,Kent Williamson, and Dave Maries, are using an areadonated by Mr. John Baldwin./The materials: sand,telephone poles, steel barr els, wire spools etc. haveeither been donated by companies and individuals orwere gathered by die students themselves. Themanager of the Baldwin Gardens Apartments,Mr. Stearns, assisted the students.

"The Environment" is a interdisciplinary course!instructed by Sister Maura and Ms. Howey. Other"Action Projects" that are being conducted bycourse participants include a recycling d rive which!culminated with a "Recycle Da y" on October 29 and\a fast conducted to draw attention to the plight ofAfrican Drought victims. % J i

A note from Paul Yochim (member of the en-vironment class).

Paper is one of our m ost misused natural products.As a result of the increase in costs of production, theprice of paper and paper products has increasedrapidly. Consequently, theplercyhurst community(students, faculty and administration) is asked to usepaper and paper products wisely. X

asserted that the specialized nature of the coursesoffered was directly related to the purpose ofIntersession. Faculty mem bers like to do somethingdifferent during Intersession; as a result, unusualcourses that do not fit into the conventional semestersystem a re given a chance during that period. "$ \

On the subject of the limited length of Intersession,

the responding group agreed that the brevity„ ofIntersession was regrettable, but that learning wasevery bit as possible as it would be in a

rfull-length

Intersession. i , sStudents registered their Intersession choices on

Wednesday afternoon: Within two weeks the FallQua rter will end. Only the actu al; coming of Intersession will answer the many questions that havebeen raised regarding the program and its future.

may be shown at Mercyhurst on February 16, 1975.This announcement was made by Mr. B. ^PhillipHerring, Director of the SAC- h §'

Mr. Herring has arranged an agreement with thefilm supplier which would make M ercyhurst the firstcollege in the country to show the X-Rated skin flick,which s tars Marlon Brando. All that remains is forthe SAC to get approval from the RepresenativeUnion of Students for the spending of an additional$250.00 to cover the difference in rental costs between"Last Tango" and "Frenzy", the movie which wouldbe cancelled to make wayfor "L ast Tango".

The Erie jPaint Company has gone yellow andorange! In an effort to combine business with theArts, the owner of the Erier Paint Company and

President of the Brie Arts Council, James McBrier,asked some Mercyhurst Art students to paint agraphic on one of the outside walls of the Erie Paintbuilding on 14th and State. The wall is 16 feet high and46 feet long. f§ The designers of the graphic are Miss Kemenyffyand her Visual Communications class made-up ofeight students. They had been working on thepreliminary sketches since the beginning of theschool year. The drawings were put up on the wall onTuesday, October i, and the actual painting wassta rted on Thursday, October 3. J

Various Erie businesses contributed to the projectby donating the materials. The Erie Paint Companysupplied all the paint, while the Sessinghaus andOstergaard Company, a major Erie building andcontracting company, provided the seaffolding. |

A few splashes of bright paint can sure help tocheer up ' dreary Erie.'' j

Ms. Jones (letters to the Editor, October25,1974) is correct when she describes theLRC as a noisy place. The best libraries a rebecoming noisier at a rate that even themost pro-library people dared nothope for.There are many reasons why libraries areno longer the tombs that they were whenilluminated manuscripts were chained todesks or!when the typical librarians woretennis shoes to muffle their footsteps andsucked lozenges to sooth vocal cords suffering from the strain of whispering: one ofthe most masochistic and least effectivemodes of •communication^known tomankind. v f» w , * ® « •>

asoday'splaces where information is exchangedthrough more than the printed page. It isconveyed lover the telephone, through theuse of photocopiers, cassette players,phonographs, films and other informationsources which; cannot compete with thenoise of home stereos but which nevertheless get their message across at ahigher decible level!that that of Johann

May*I make several suggestions to Ms.Jones and to others who are disturbed. Notethat we have no rooms labeled ""groupstudy/' The doors of* the glass-enclosedrooms are marked "Quiet Study" and arereserved for those who need quiet J May Isuggest also that, instead of conveyingdispleasure through body language, Ms.Jones verbally express her feeling to thosewho disturb he r.

N O V E M B E R 1 . 1 9 7 4 MERCYHURST COLLEGE P A G E 3

K i c k i n gOnce again, Mercyhurst

students are being asked toconserve % energy. This< mayresult in some self-sacrifice,yet the end result will be morebeneficial to the student bodybyi maintaining theMevel of

quality education we nowhave. " * ?;The conservation of energy

is actually the conservation ofour resources. The productionof electricity, the processingof water, and their means oftransporta tion^ from* thesource, all require the fexpenditure of vast amounts^ofenergy. Due to presentshortages and limitations,savings must be made._AVemust reduce waste and use ap ropor t iona te ly smal le rshare of the energy andresources available.

On campus, heating and

lighting consume most of theenergy used. Our electric billalone constitutes 77 per centof the total cost of all utilities.The principle means ofconserving energy lie in adirect reduction of naturalgas and electricity, both usedto lightJheat, or cool Mercyhur st buildings.*: According toMr. Cardot, Vice-President ofBusiness Services, a specificplan should be implementedto conserve energy at Mercyhurst College and to informthe student body of ways topractice effective energyconservation. #

To make such a programsuccessful- requires manysteps. First, there should be aperiod of education ijforstudents, faculty, and administrators to understandthe essentials of our particular situation, therebyenabling us to change ourattitudes. Second, we mustmaintain an effective level ofcommunication at all times toachieve the fullest cooperation. Third, certainchanges in schedule orprocedure should be made toreduce marginal use | offacilities. And finally, weshould conduct an engineering

study to re-evaluate oursystems, gain new information and perspectives,and prepare for renovationwhere needed.f

Last year, a policy toconserve energy was issuedat i Mercyhurst. The mainthrust of thatv policy was tosee that thermostats were

T h e E n e r g y C r i s i skept at 68 degrees. Since tha ttime, the severity of theenergy crisis has increasedpartly because of the oilproblem and must be dealtwith^ more seriously. Therising cost of utilities has also

added to the problem; withelectric bills climbing 15 percent and water rates soon tobe 25 per cent above* whatthey previously were, due to are-classification- for institutional use J

Mr. Necci, ^Director no tOperations, identified as onemajor aspect of the problemthe increasing | costs ofelectric heating for Baldwin,Zurn, and* the library.According to f!Mr.Necci, fstudents could easilyhelp conserve energy by

Foot Stomping

following some basic principles and changing somehabits. Heating rooms toexcess'and opening windowsreleases costly energy. Agood remedy would be to keepa regular (meek on the ther

mostat, making sure it was ona reasonable temperature.The only way the problem

can be solved is through acombined effort of the entireMercyhurst Community. Mr.Cardot is aware that a quickreduction of these energycosts is necessary to offsetpresent inflationary trendsand maintain our presentlevel of quality education.The problem is not an easyone, yet by all of us workingtogether, we will surely find asolution.

3 Believe it or not, the best way to get around Erie oftenturns out to be the oldest mode of transportation of themall—shoe power. I h

Shoe power, better known to most as w alking, becomes adistinct possibility to the Mercyh urst student on days whengetting a bus may involve an hour's wait. Dire poverty, aphenomenon not unknown to the M ercyhurst community, isanother factor in letting one's feet do the moving in thedirection of where you wapt to go. | ^. i *:i-* Walking is cheap; it's direct; sometimes it's quicker thantaking the bus. The most im portant thing to know when youstart walking somewhere is how to get to where you aregoing. This is where "Around the Town" comes ia : i

Thefmost popular walk for Mercyhurstf students is todowntown Erie. It takes about forty minutes, and the routeis very simple. Make a left at the gate of the college, andproceed to the second light. Make a right there onto StateSt., and walk right into the center of town! f *

Looking for something unusual for a dull Saturday afternoon. Make a left at the college gate, and w alk a mile orso over 38th St. First, you'll come to the Zoo, then theGlenwood Ice Skating Rink, and the YMCA—YWCA. The"Y" has a pool for all the water fiends who might be interested. I \ ~ Jr $ u

If you keep on walking on 38th St., you'll come to LibertyPlaza, a very large shopping complex which features allsorts of stores, plus all the major fast food resta urants.

A real bargain awaits the really intrepid walker! If you

make a right turn at the corner of 38th St. and Peach St.and walk about five blocks^ further, you'll come to theSterling dairy store. Here,ifor 25 cents (no tax), you'll getthe largest single dip ice cream cone presently sold in thispart of the world! Maybe tha t's a lit tle bit of anexaggeration, but the ice cream cannot beexaggerated! It'sgreat. &-•,;- Itf*

Well, try your luck. Next article, we'll discuss gettingaround Erie by pedal power, and introduce you to that w ellkept Erie secret, Presque Isle!

NOVEMBER 1 , 1974MERCYHURST COLLEGE P A G E S

Mercyhurst has been accepte d,! along with approximately 130 othercolleges and universitiesthroughout the country, as aparticipating institution in theW a s h i n g t o n S e m e s t e r

Program run by AmericanUniversity. This program willallow Mercyhurst students tostudy for a semester inWashington. A? student canchoose to concentrate in anyone of 'the following basicfields of study: AmericanNational Government andPolitics; Urban Affairs; U.S.Foreign Policy; and International Development.

The prog ram 's var iedcourse offerings include:special seminar meetingswith public officials, politicalleaders, Washington lobbyists, State Departmentofficials, etc.; fcarefully

Mr. Cooney received his Masters in "Studies In Aging"with a concentration in Nursing Home A dministration fromNorth Texas State University, which is a ranking trainingcenter for aging services and gerontology. He later servedas the Department Chairman at Mount Angel College inOregon, but left in 1972 to claim Nursing Home Admin-stration as his second caree r. This ended when he realizedthat academic work was much more compatible to hisdisposition. He, therefore, accepted the opportunity toreturn to higher education at Mercyhurst College.I Mr. Cooney stated, "I am delighted w ith what I find hereat Mercyhurst, which is a combination of professionalismand friendliness: friendliness among administration facultyand students. This is a very hard unification to come bytoday." * p F S

When asked about his demand on students, Mr. Cooneyreplied,- I am more a lecture-type teacher then an experimental-methods teacher I* do not insist on manyprocedural requirements, but I would appreciate studentinvolvement and understanding."

Hewill also be involved with TKe Collegeof Older Americans, athree ye ar old program aiming to develop special courses ofintellectual and cultural interest to the people of Erie , with aslight reduction in cost. Mr. Cooney hopes to maintain thisfine level of achievement a t Mercyhurst.
