A well-known archaeologist,Lante-originally from Erie-isassociated with Pittsburgh'sCarnegie Museum, Section ofMan. '& The decision to honor Lantz wasmadetbyjthe college Board ofTrustees on September 15thfollowing a five month study andevaluation of his archaeologicalachievements. %At 46 ye&rs of age, Mr. Lantzhas recorded some 50 differentIndian sites in the surroundingErie area in Association w ith Dr.Donald Dragoo, Curator of theCarnegie Museum. ?Then the impending! construction of the- Kinzua Dam onthe Allegheny jjRiver north ofWarren made apparent Ithesubsequent impounding of important archaeological sitespreviously unknown.For example, he discovered in1 9 5 9 the Gould Farm Site-whichhe excavated over a five yearperiod. His discovery^ producedthe first evidence that^theprehistoric Iroquois had lived inthe Kinzua Valley. Lat er hediscovered 28 other imajor ar chaeological sites-m ost of whichh ad been covered b y t h e waters ofth e Allegheny ReservoirSIn-1966 Lantz was appointedfield associate of* the CarnegieMuseum j and designatedassistant field archaeologist fora subsequent Museum excavations in the Valley. |*~

> In addition to his Kinzua digs,h e has also recorded a significantnumber of other findings whichcover a < span j of 10,000 years,doing the work and excavation o nhis own time and at his own expense. $ |He is currently involved ti narchaeological digs at Steam-burgh, New York, on the SenecaIndian Reservation.

Mr. Lantz-a self-taught archaeologist-was honored by thePennsylvania Society ofArchaeology i n 1 9 6 3 at which timeh e received the coveted ARCHIEAward for his exceptional contributions to the field.As a sign of our conviction that"People should b e recognized andcommended for their notableaccomplishments which servethe educational needs of today,"Mercyhurst will award StanleyLantz a doctor of letters degree.CARNEGIE REPORT: ; Attending college is likely to result in alarger "Payoff" in terms ofpersonal values than in econc micbenefits, according to a newreport by the Carnegie * Commission on Higher Educationentitled A Degree and What Else?The C orrelates and Consequencesof a College Education. 'StephenB . Withey, principal au thor ofjthereport, told a news conference inWashington October 5 that^theeconomic "Payoff" of going tocollege generally is not big, but itis for personal happiness, health,and esthetic values. Witftey isprogram director of the Instituefor Social I Research at theUniversity of Michigan. ClarkKerr, chairman of the commission, said he viewed thereport as "refuting question asto whether going to college is

?.\Vr

worthwhile. In personal term s,he said, attending college "is allplus." j& . g J &The Withey report is based onan analysis of social scienceresearch over?several decades,rather than a collection of newdata. {It; recommends furtherstudies "to update findings in thelight of changing con ditions." f JThe report-found that personswho have gone to college/whencompared with those > w h o havenot, tend to be: More satisfiedwith their jobs, less subject tounemployment, more informedabout community, national andworld affairs, more tolerant intheir attitudes U toward others,more* deliberate in their* consumers expenditures,^more in-trospective and concerned aboutpersonal relationships, moreactive in community affairs, andmore apt to have a sense of wellbeing. The report found that, in

general, the benefits of going tocollege increase with each yearattended, and that the "impactcumulates over generations.'* 25[| Asserting that * "collegestudents are entitled Itonheidentical I First | Amendmentprotections on th e campus as theyor any other citizen would have inthe community-at-large," theAmerican *Civil Liberties Unionasked f he * Supreme Court toreview two cas es; one involvingdemonstrations inside campusbuildings, 4 the other involvingofficial recognitionj of! studentpolitical organizations.If the cour* agrees to hear thecases, it will mark the first timei n 3 7 years that the Justices haveaddressed themselves to freedomof speech and assembly forcollege students. f

^The ACLU noted thaf'by virtueof the 26th amendment, almostevery college student is now fullyenfranchised and entitled toparticipate in the politicalprocess." ? +Two years ago the Court ruledthat a high school student couldwear a black armf band duringmoratorium activities in Tinkerv s . Des Moines IndependentCommunity" School District.However, it has not ruled on theFirst Amendment rights ofcollege students since the 1934'case of ^Hamilton vs. i Board ofRegents of the University ofCalifornia.

their intention to hold an overnight vigil in protest of the firingof several teachers. * That vigilwas held successfully, but whenthe J group held a similardemonstration tw o nights later, 80of them w ere arrested by campuspolice. t &'The case was carried to theU.S. District Court^which ruledthe college regulations requiring48 jjhours advance notice ofdemonstrations unconstitutional.The3k regulations that? anyunauthorized assembly ofstudents had to disband upondemand of any administration orstudent government official.

The Court said the definition of"demonstrat ion" was unconstitutionally vague; the ban o nindoor demonstrations 'was? unconstitutionally broad; th eregistration rule : unconstitutionally barred spontaneous dissent.The Fourth Circuitf Court ofAppeals, however,^overturnedthe District jud ge's ruling.

The demonstration #jcase aroseat Madison College, a state schoolin Harrisonburg, Va. Ironically,during the student reactions toth e invasion of Cambodia in April.1 9 7 0 , about 25 students "andfaculty Iassembled in anI opencampus building, andjj expressed

The second case concernsstudents at Central ConnecticutState College, who in Sep tember,1 9 6 9 , asked for official collegerecognition of ftheir chapter ofStudents for a DemocraticSociety. {F . D o n James, president of theschool, rejected the advice of|astudent-faculty committee anddenied recognition.The ACLU is arguing in thiscase that college officials,; mayinterfere with the exercise ofFirst Amendment^rights onlyupon showing ?"a clear Jandpresent danger of some substantive evil occurring,"and thatthe burden of proof is on theadministrator.

Young people have played aprimary role in focusing theattention of the Nation on thequality of our* environment andthe importance of insuring thatc lean air and w ater are avai lablefor future generations.During the past two and*one-haltf years, the Department ofJu s t i c e has r e cogn i z ed theurgency of their concern and hasgiven top priority to the enfor c ement o f f edera l l awsre l a t ing to env i ronmenta lprotection, i 4 iOur original approach was togive new em phasis to a 72-year-old law the 1899 Refuse Act and to use it as one of our moste f f e c t i ve weapons aga in s tpolluters. Under the Refuse Actall industries which dischargeany waste into navigable watersor their tributaries must apply,for a * permit to do so from theCorps of Engineers, stating'thatthe waste does not pollute thewater . If a company dischargeswithout a perm it, it is in violationof the law and maybe fined asmuch as $2,500 a day upon conviction.Cr imina l ac t i ons and civilpena l ty ac t i ons ar e broughtagainst sporadic or * accidental.polluters, as in the^case of o ilsp i l ls from ships ortfrom shoreinstallations. We found, however,that the penalties carried bythese; statutes i are$ ineffectiveagainst major industries withcontinuous discha rges. ,Therefore, in March 1970. weadopted* a second ap proach tostop po llution by asking courts toissue civ il injunctions. 7

The three Un i ted S tate sAttorneys whose districts coverthe New Y ork waterfront are alsousing the Refuse Act to clean upthe New York Harbor and otherwaterways in the ir areas .Of special interest to citizens isthe provision of the Refuse Actauthorizing payment of half of thefines impo sed on polluters topersons who provide informationleading to a conviction. ^Courtshave authorized fsuch paymentsin recent years . *& jAnd through the use of stil lanother federal law, the JusticeDepartment prosecuted severaloil compa nies for failing to installsafety devices on we lls located inthe Gulf of Mexico, which*re su l t ed in the l e aka ge ofthousands of barrels of oil off thecoasts of Louisiana. The companies paid fines totaling ?morethan$2.25 million. IThe Department of Justice willcontinue and intensify its effortsto enforce-federal anti-pollutionlaws, but every segment of oursoc i e ty mus t share in - th eresponsibility for improving thequality of our water and air. XThe full resources of sta tes andlocalities must be brought to bearon this problem. And in a nationwhere governmental power i sconferred by the people, the interest and enthusiasm of youngpeople will continue to be aprimary factor in our campaignfor a c lean environment!The relief requested in an injunction suit is ma t the companybe ordered to stop discharging itswastes into the * tributary ornavigable water . . f.

WASHINGTON (WCNS)-A scoreof education groupsfrom theCollege. Entrance ExaminationBoard to the National StudentAssociationhave bandedtogether in support of federal aidto the neediest studentsThe group is attempting tosolicit support among collegestudents and variousorganizations for a proposal toensure that poor students retainfirst access to federal grants,regardless of where they study.The!iproposal is expected to bemade in the form of ah amendment to H.R. 7248i"The HigherEducation Act of 1971," when thatbill reaches the floor of the Housein the next week or so.President Nixon also proposeda new student aid program in hishigher education ^message toCongress last February. Withnew legislation he hoped * thatmore than J 1 millions-morestudents would receive aid. Itwould assure that federal fundsgo first, andTin the* largestamounts, to the neediest studentsin order to place them on an equalfooting with students fromhigher-income families. It wouldmean that (high school students')choice of a college would | bebased on their educational goalsrather than upon their families'financial circumstances."The most emotional JissueCongress faced this year is thearea of higher education centeredon inst i tu t ional grants ,"Representative Albert H. Quie(R-Minn.) told the group at arecent meeting. "But no one stoodup for the students." tUnder H.R. 7248 as it was

passed by the House of Education*HMl-i4abor-?Com mit tee hi gh erincomej students could haveaccess! to these grants, I throughtheir colleges, even before poorstudents. A }student could notreceive more than $4,100 in fouryears, but his grant would not beautomatically renewed from yearto year as is presently the caseunder the Education OpportunityGrant M EOG) program; andfinancial aid officers would haveauthority to determine a family's"contribution" and decide whowas eligible. . < M

Under the amendment beingproposed by Rep. Quie and otherswould receive $1,400 per year lessthe contribution of his family, orhalf his ^estimated "need" toattend an institution, whichever isless. Student aid officers woulduse a standard! formula fordetermining what each studentcould contribute. And studentswould continue to have the sameassurance ofjreceiving aid fromyear to year iflthey continue toqualify.

Quie told the "coalition" grouprecently th at the* comm ittee-passed bill would seriously e rodethe six-year federal commitmentthat "federal aid should go firstwhere the need is the greatest.""A serious problem in this billis the increased power given tofinancial aid officers," Quie said.'.'There is a 28 percent turnover inaid Directors annually, whichmeans many directors have littleexperience. Under our bipartisanproposal, they I would followstandard guidelines % lesssusceptible to mischief.' w"Students from families } ofmiddle and upper incomes wouldstill have access to federal work-study and loan programs," Quiesaid. "In fact, under the EOGproposal, families with incomesof $12,000 and above wouldqualify but the student would notreceive an EOG as large as thosein greater need." f;Rep Quie said student leadersand student editors should maketheir views known by writing totheir Congressman and sendingcopies to him for possiblepublications in the ^CongressionalRecord. "My Colleagues in the

House do not know the wishes of.students. Only this eleventh houreffort will turn the tide in favor ofthe students who need financialaid the most."MOVIE gSCHEDULE

One of the* objectives olj this i par t iculartheater, was to create aneducational center wherestudents from all over the UnitedStates would serve in an accredited apprentice program, inorder to develop then* particulartheatrical abilities. |Mr, Iddings chose to teach atMercyhurst because he favoredthe idea of working in a DramaDepartment with its opportunities. When asked if he feltin an y way restricted working in acollege atmosphere, he stated, "I

ittfby Ga|y Dudenhoefer >situation? Herring: "Again, thisis up to the students. Personally,I'd like to see some art films onthe calend ar. If the studentsdemonstrate that they wouldprefer an occasional art film, I'msure w e could provide them ."... Dudenhoefer: Another aspe ctof Mercyhurst social life whichwas totally lacking last year islarge concerts. Are there anyconcerts scheduled in the nearfuture? Herring: "Yes, there is.The SAC and I are currentlyplanning to sponsor a largeconcert in Jan uary . However,there are some problems to besolved before the concert is madedefinite. Primarily, we have tofind a place to hold a large concert. The Warner Theater costs$1100 and is available only onweekd ays. But, with a little workand creativity, I'm sure we canschedule this concert. Right now,I can't say who will be playing,but we have several good actsunder consideration."

Dudenhoefer: How would youfeel about doing three or toursmall concerts hi th e Recital Hallas opposed to one big concert?Herrin g: "Again, this depends onstudent feeling. I'm open tosuggestion s. We could booksomebody like Bill Haley and theComets for a low-cost concert,but before w e jump headfirst intosomething like this, I'd like tohave I some, index of studentfeeling. If students would supporta number of small concerts, thenwe'll d o our best to put them on."Dudenhoefer: You mentionedbefore that you are Director ofthe coffeehouse. In genera l, whatare your impressions of thecoffeehouse? Herring: "I thinkthe coffeehouse is the center ofsocial life on this camp us, but itcould stand much improvement.The first thing I'd like to see is asense of pride develop : in thestudent body, so that the generalatmosphere of the coffeehouseimproves. Specifically,I'd like tos e e it kept cleaner and a cessation

would I not like to {work in anacademic situation with the ideal,because I think that that isunrealistic for students to thinkthat they will jump from here toBroadway, tNot everybody canwork in Lincoln Center which h asa push button system." ^& ; i. Presently rehearsals have beenin session for iMr. biddings'production of The Prime of MissJean Bro d e . The entire look ofthe show will have a design andprofile absorbed from the periodof the 1940's. A great effort o n thepart of the-cast is to recapturethis look by \ means of oldphotographs and out-datedyearbooks. 'There is a certainlook in the eyes of those people,"whether the expressions reflect aweariness from w ar or a hope for

of the noise when performers areplaying. Student cooperationhere is paramount; irs theircoffeehouse."Dudenhoefer: Are there anyother changes you d like to see inth e coffeehouse? Herring: "Yes,besides the atmosphere, I'd liketo see some physical changes inthe coffeehouse. Firs t, the stageshould b e moved from the front tothe middle of the floor. Second,w e have t o d o something with th athorrendous arch by the snackbar. I'd like to see it closed offcompletely."Dudenhoefer: Since this is yourfirst year here, what are yourimpressions of Mercyhurst ingeneral? Herring "I suppose youcould describe me as being veryenthusiastic about Mercyhurst.The feeling of identity and pridewhich is becoming evident in thestudent body is very encouraging.Generally, I think that Mer-.cyhurst is a campus on the rise,with a golden future ahe ad." .Dudenhoefer: To what do youattribute your feeling of enthusiasm about Mercyhurst?Herring : "Well, as I said before,the development of a sense ofidentity is the most encouragingthing about this camp us. I liketh e changes which ar e o ccurring.The athletic team s give studentswho are physically orientated achance to express themselves,and if the teams win, then thefeeling of pride in the studentbody is reinforced. With thecompletion of a new StudentActivities Building and a newgymnasium, I feel that Mercyhu rst will develop into one ofthe finest colleges in this area."Phil Herring believes inMercyhurst. With rapid changestaking place in the areas ofphysical ^facilities and thecomposition of the student body,perhaps * his predictions ofgrandeur are not far away.

RATED xwmtWmmS*I Local Theatre S E | | R by Mark Zine k 'I Well it's been a week fortheatre in Erie. The MercyhurstReader Theatre production ofANTIGONE and The Erie CivicTheatre production *of DEATHOF A SALESMAN were staged.ANTIGONE|was slightly updated with translation by IgorStalsky who acted as thetragedy's chorus. Marie Oliver!was as great as ever in the titlerole and Barry McAndrew, of theEnglish department gave anexcellent characterization ofCreon, Antigonesantagonist.Sets and lighting were designedby Dennis Andres and constructed by his faithful crew. Itwas a simple design, but it addedthe right amount of mood to theproduction. Miss Yablonsky,director, and all Involved deservea healthy round of applause.Arthur Miller's DEATH OF ASALESMAN opened Friday,October 15, at Erie Civic. It wasdone fvery professionally, andconveyed the mood of thismodern; tragedy. ^ The onlydisturbing j factor of . thisproduction was the use of ar-tifir-* I: lowers in the final lines.Th e part f of Willy Lomanportrayed by Matt Conley, wasdone exceptionally well. Equallywell done was the part of Linda,his wife; {portrayed by MinaEinenburg. Although Biff, TomBrice, appeared too old J or thepart his acting compensated forthis lack of type-casting. ^. Hisbrother Hap William Statton wasnot as oustanding as the rest ofthe casti * 1 M 3 . i 1The sets were also designed byDennis Andres! (Where do youeat, Dennis?) Although the setswere not completed, they in noway | over powered, the I performance but rather enh anced it.All in all its been afineweek fordramalet's have more of it. j ^

Director Named% * .(Continued from Page 5)made available to those tryingout for a twenty-four hour periodbefore the auditions. After thescripts were checked out, eachperson chose a scene with theunderstanding | that they wereresponsible for its preparation."Their objective was to get thepart by any? means available,even to wear costumes indicativeto their pa rt." The auditionswere closed in order to put thosetrying out more at ease.All this effort on the part of thecas t however, reaped fruitfulresults, for the selected castshows great quality in their acting abilities. The part of JeanBrodie is played by ChristieWarnick; Mr. Perry by MarkZine; Sister- Helena by MarieOliveri; Sandy by Laura Mont-petit and |Monica by| CandyYanker. (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodiewill open November fifth andcontinue through the seventh atMercyhurst s Little Theater. Theentire show promises tremendousauthenticity and should prove adelicious success for Mr. Iddingsfirst major production at Mercyhurst.
