Expansion PlannedForCampus CenterBy Clay Nielsen

% This spring, ground will bebroken to- begin construction ofan addition to the CampusCenter, according to MercyhurstPresident Dr. William P. Garvey.

The addition will consist of a4,000 square-foot prefabricatedsteel building which will run theentire length of the back wall ofthe center.

Garvey said that the addition isneeded because, '' The * facilitiesfor physical fitness are not exten-

sive enough." He cited the onesmall weightroom in the basementof the ' Campus Center as anexample.

AtMSG

Among the facilities that will behoused in the new building are afitness center containing bothnautilus and free weights,classroom? facilities, offices, atank in which to simulate rowing,and possibly, a racquetball court.

In keeping with thejcollege'sconcept of wholistic < health,Garvey said that the e expansionwas taking place more with theaverage student in mind ratherthan the athletic teams.

The addition, which will costapproximately $200,000, shouldbe ready for use by Fall Term1983. I - H

College AtOptimumCapacity

i By Martha CampThe Mercyhurst College Cam

pus is at its optimum capacity, according to college President DWilliam P. Garvey. ~r

"The main campus will simpnot accommodate much moreGarvey told The Merciad Moday. However, it was pointed othat the five-year Master Placalls for an increased enrollmeby 1986. ;.|We need to attract more commuters, Garvey said, in order tincrease enrollment without haing to increase student housing.

"We have* no plans in thMaster Plan to increase studenhousing," agreed E. William Kennedy, director* of StudenServices.

'^However, Garvey emphasize"We have one big problem-we ara medium priced college,so foout-of-towners, we are very tractive. But in Erie, we are thmost expensive."f This fact, along with tough a

mission standards, deters commuter enrollment.K "We'd like to relieve some the pressures on our facilities battracting more commuters,

Garvey said, but he said that hardly likely.How will Mercyhurst relievei

current space problem?"We are looking at som

reallocation of space," Garvesaid.

"We are probably headingtowards an all-male dorm," hadded, including that McAuleHall, which is presently a co-eresidence hall, may house amales.

| L A 1 S O , the- Communicationdepartment, which currently usethree quiet studiesin the L RC fooffice space, will be moved tonew unnamed location.

As for the campus parking prblem, Garvey cited plans to buia new 75-car lot behind St. LukeSchool.

Basically, Garvey concludeMercyhurst will become a residtial institution in the tradition o-Westminster and Allegheny Cleges.

And! Justice For AllTh e ^greatly discussed Justice Proposal which has been a

topic* at nearly every M ercyhurst Student Governm entmeeting sin ce late last spring has a lot of potential and is need-ed at the college, but not until it is thoroughly and objectivelystudied and revamped to fit the needs of Mercyhurst students.

According to the proposal, a disciplinary committee wouldbe formed *'to see that the published policies of the collegeare carried out s o that justice is done withou t the rights of thestudent being impaired or unjust penalties being levied."

This intention is a good one and is presently being handledthrough the Campus Life Committee. Although questions ofstudent justice only arise between approximately three to tentimes per year, hearing cases and appeals is not a primaryfunction of the Campus Life Committee.

/ If the Justice Proposal were accepted, this would free theCampus Life Comm ittee to concentrate on its major task: set-ting policy regarding students9 rights and responsibilities. Adisciplinary committee com posed o f MSG representatives andpossibly one or tw o faculty members would be able to concen-trate its efforts in the sole area of; student justice and,hopefully, learn to responsibly carry out those duties withconstant fairness and objectivity.

The members of the Campus Life Committee are notselected on the basis offtheir ability to function in adisciplinary role but, rather on the basis of how well they setpolicy. A committee selectedonly *for administering justicewould surely be chosen with that criteria having foremostimportance.

Presently, when there is a question of student justice, a stu-dent may not kown how to find the Campus Life Com mittee.

Elf a disciplinary committee existed within MSG, astudentwould know to immediately consult the MSG officers or at-tend one of the weekly government meetings.

The underlying purpose of the Justice Proposal should notEbe forgotten as it is debated by the student government. It

would be a mistake for the proposal to be defeated entirely atthis point. The government should form a thorough and ob-jective committee to study the justice systems of other col-leges, determine the specific needs of a Mercyhurst justicesystem, then review and overhaul the present Justice Proposalaccordingly. This may take a'few months or the entireacademic year, but it is an important step in developing apositive student climate at Mercyhurst.

Letter

Student Urges Peers To VoteTo the Editor:

I am very concerned about thelarge number of students living athome while attending college. Iam a 1981 graduate of MountSaint Mary's College in Em-mitsburg, MD and by talking to

faculty and students, I found thatstudents living away from homegenerally do much better thanstudents living with their families.One cause of the large number ofstudents living at home is the cut

Letter

in student aid. JI hope somethingwill be d one to restore student aidand the following suggestions willbe implemented by college.

First, I think all freshmenshould be required to live on cam-pus in dormitories and not, beallowed to register motor vehiclesduring their freshman year.Motor vehicles make it easy forsome freshmen to run away from,instead of coping directly with

such stressful situations away from home (for ttime in ' many cases). freshmen need to be awhome yet they also need and support from peer afaculty members, deanother college personnel tadjustment to college dem

Second, I think aperclassmen (sophomshould not be allowed to their families but can livoff campus and be allregister motor vehicles. emphasize that being awhome is essential so respoand independence are on the part of the collegeand in turn, his/her gradeswill be much higher andsocial life will become msatisfying.

Very Sincerely,Glenn O. Rickard III

Suggestions OfferedDear Editor: - l

In 1972, A mericans between theages of 18 and 21 were given theright to vote. However, very fewin that age group choose to vote.When asked why so few studentsvote, Owenn Hoffman of theFederal Election C ommittee said,'Students are apathetic. They justdon't care about anything thatgoes on outside of their own littleworld."

Well, maybe students shouldwake up and find out what is go-ing on "outside of their own little-world ." Billions of dollarsare be-ing cut from student financial aid

programs, there is increased talkof the draft (selective service)registration and nuclear arms, theeconomy i s * slumping andunemployment is reaching levelsonly seen before, during the greatdepression. [

Within the next four years,most of us will be graduatingfrom college (if we have themoney to finish ) and will attemptto enter into the job market. Oneway ofhelping yourselfto get intothe job market is by voting. Byvoting, you can tell the legislature"that you are mad as hell and youare not taking it any more."

I want some more mocan inish school, my paretheir jobs back, and I waCheck out each record owho are running for electwho voted for or againstaid programs, and who vmore taxes. Vote for thoyou really believe can back into the area in whlive.' k

People, we can makeference. All w e have to dIt is the most effective that we have.

Respectfully Y ours,'David Alexander i

Lakers Feed BengalsLast Saturday was a day that

most Mercyhurst football fanswould \ like to forget. The 53-13Laker defeat, which came fromthe Bengals of .Buffalo State,wasn't pretty.

The Hurst committed anunbelievable 13 turnovers inithecontest. J* *

Mercyhurst was ranked 11th inthe nation for rushing offensewith 243.5 yards gained per con-test. However, Buffalo Statelimited the Lakers..;tow only 28yards rushing.^ * \s

Although the Bengals chalkedup 53 points, the Blue and Greendefense, led by nose gaurd MikeHanes, held Buff State to 251total yards on offense.

The problem, however, wasthat the Bengals did not need toput together lengthy , drives toscore. 'They obtained good fieldposition throughout "the contestby causing and recovering 12Laker fumbles.

Perhaps the only bright spot forthe'Hurst was the outstanding

defensive play of Hanes. He credited with 20 tackles, 6which caused the Bengals a losyardage. Hanes also -recordethree sacks.

Darren Blackwell was Mcyhurst's leading rusher with yards on six carries, while runnback John Moore scored a Latouchdown on a 3 yard r

Hurst defensive lineman BubBorom was attributed- with Lakers final touchdown whwas set up by the Nations ranked Division III punter, Mcyhurst's Dave Sawtelle. k
