pledging 135 percent oftheir $75,000 goal. Eighty-two percentof the
$1.1 million corporate goal hasbeen reached. Fifty-eight
corporatepledges totaling,$905,058 have beenreceived. This includes
the $250,000given by the Hammermill Paper Company for the
Hammermill Library. As aresult of this do nation, 3, 000
volumeshave been added to the library as ofSept. 1, according to
Joan Cooper,library director.Various corporations give funds tothe
college for different reasons.These reasons are a key factor in
successful fund raising. Finish Engineering, a recent donor,
provides an in-

are happy to make a commitment to Mercyhurst College becausethrough
the college's adult collegeprogram, our employees are able touse
one of their key benefits - tuitionreimbursement," said C.

we have foundthat the courses offered at Mercyhurstfit the needs of
our employees and ofour company as well . " rEight corporate donors

special assistant tothe president for the cap ital campaign,
|reminds the college community thatthis is a three year pledge
campaign, ofwhich the first year is just drawing to aclose. With
only $1 million left to beraised, he feels confident that the
$4.5million goal of the campaign will bereached well before the end
of thatthree year period.The campaign has been successfulfrom the
start, when initial responseprompted the co l lege Board ofTrustees
to raise the original goal of $4million to the present $4.5 million
. Theadditional $500, 000 was added to thegoal category of
financial aid support,resulting In a total goal of $2.5 millionfor
that area. Financial aid support inc ludes endowment, annual
fundscholarships and the student loanfund. f -l +Another goal
category is academicdevelopment, with a $1.2 milliongoal.This
Includes updating the collection of books in the library,
upgradingand expanding the college computersystem, and purchasing
moderndepartmental equipment. The finalgoal area for the campaign
is the expansion of ZurniRecital Hail, with aJ]$800,000 goal.A
special long-term goal of theCapital Campaign is the building of
astudent union-recreation complex.This has been established as: a
$2million project.{Louis feels that withthe excesses already
evident in thecampaign, this 'dream* may not be asfar from becoming
a reality as somepeople may think. Louis concluded, "Ihave every
confidence that with thesupport of the college community andthe
Erie area community at large thatwe will reach our goal of $4.5
millionand hopefully exceed It so we can s tartbringing that

the CensusBureau, more than half of|to-day's college students

colleges wherethese figures are being?proved. According to both

PAGE 4 THE MERCIAD SEPTEMBE
From where we standNow that The Merciad staff has produced two
issues of thepaper, maybe it Is time to backtrack and h ighlight
our role hereat Mercy hurst. f W IAs a student-run collegiate
newspaper, our first and foremostpriority is to the students.The
students have a right to question co llege policies and act ions.
The Merciad, in addition to inform ing and entertaining
itsaudience, is here to communicate legitimate student concernsto
the administration and the^Mercyhurstlcommunity. Suchquestioning
doesnot reflect disloyalty to the educational Inst i tut ion, but
an intense interest in its quality. tOur wider range goal is to
encompass the entire Mercyhurstcommunity and their* needs in lour,
or better yet, THEIRnewspaper. ^ ' % JLooking back, it seems the
first two editions reflect theissues that concern the
community-at-large.In the past, many people have viewed the
newspaper as solelya product of the Communications Department and
didn't eventry to approach the paper. But, that idea is beginning
to change.Various departments and people are getting into "The
MerciadAct" by submitting articles or announcements to us. And
whatis even better Is that these articles or announcements are gett
ing printedl Going back ^to the opening statement, that isprimarily
due to the deep-rooted emphasis the paper places on
the community.Mercyhurst College Is a small liberal arts
college. It is verylikely that many students chose the college
because they wereattracted to the small college atmosphere and the
communityspirit that pervades the campus. It is the responsibility
of TheMerciad to uphold that com munity s pirit. This college is
special,and so is its newspaper. mThe Merciad staff*is a small
group of hard-working*andtalented individuals who work diligently
every week to publish aquality newspaper; the* contents of which
reflect a qualityinst itut ion. |The Mercyhurst community Itself
seems to be responsive tothe studen ts' needs. Recent events have
proved that the collegedoes care what the tuition-paying student
population feels. Thatis another one of the things that makes this
place special. >A fine example of this responsiveness Is the
reconstructioncurrently taking place In Garvey Park, resetting the
slate In cement. This is clearly an administrative response to
studentdissatifac tion w ith the original layout of the new plaza.
The Mer-clad speaks for the entire student body In its appreciation
of theaction being taken. On that same line, The M erciad
appreciatesthat nearly every faculty member or administrator on the
campus is approachable and generally very cooperative with
thestaff. We have had few problems g etting interviews or facts.
Thecollege 's willingness to su pply Information in addition to
listening to student concerns Is yet another factor that makes
thisplace special. * $ * \SPECIAL.... Maybe that's why Mecyhurst
titled their presentation for the Capital Campaign 'That Special
Touch ofMercyhurst."

C o n n e a u t u n a p p r e c i a t i v e o f H j R M s t u d
e n t s ' i e f f o rBy Michael MooreheadHow do we define a
Conneaut Lake Park experience?Beginning In the middle ofMay,
several other studentsand I contracted to work andmanage key areas
for Conneaut Lake Park, under thedirection of ^ John Wolper,hotel
restau rant! managementdepartment director!'Although we began in
mid-May,, the'transition involvedmoving from school to Conneaut was
a difficult one, dueto the inflexibi l i ty of the coll ege ca
lendar . However ,through the work and supportof administration and
facultywe managed to begin our summer on schedule.Initially, in
meetings prior toour arrival at Conneaut, wediscussed with Wolper a
format of rotation that wouldenhance and d evelo p: ourm a n a g e
m e n t s k i l l s a n dabilities. Since several of us(16) were
performing theseduties for cooperative education purposes, we were
concerned about the balance anddetail of work
responsibilitiesassigned to us throughout thesummer. Since Wolper
exercised direct supervision andcontroT over these co-op
experiences, we were relativelyconfident that we would haveno
problem experiencing therigors of high volume resortmanagement.
Once I got into my positionass ignmen ts this summerwith my fel
low students, I
found the work exciting andextremely challenging. Duringthat
period ol time my initialeducation begins. One canquickly begin to

acquired during thisshort period of time. It is one ithing to learn
these new skillsunder a control led academic^envi ronment; and
another Ithing to have to perform thesetasks for a high-volume
operation where there is virtually nolet up. One learns rather
quickly organization and timing.At this particular plateauyou
graduate into understanding what it takes to becomean effective m
anager. Now thereal process of a Mercyhurst
KM experience to use at ConneautColvin, Connie Loeslein and
Marktively manage an environmentthat requi res a constantawareness
about; basic s kills,people, and more importantly,how to manage
those individuals in order to get thejob done.As I movedJhrough_n
rotations in other areas, I quicklyrealized that the
technicalskills were a mere fraction ofmy management potential .How
I speak, how I l isten, howI write, and how I conduct Imyself are
the real foundations for the success I seek Infuture years. * +The

success.Furthermore, I also realize thevalue of a liberal arts
educat ion. Speaking, writing, theability of appreciate art
andmusic are just a few of thestrong points of a well-rounded
individual. In contrast, those persons in positions of authority at
ConneautLake Park were lacking a keensenseJof what is neeeded
intodays management. They expected and demanded performance without
appreciation ofindividuals needs and abilitylevels.Furthermore, as
the summer progressed It becameclear that Mr. Wolper a n d all
ofthe 38 HRM majors working atConneaut provided the direction
necessary to execute thechallenges of dally operationsof such high
volume facilities.It was evident to me andseveral others that they
(theownership and management)were learning from us on a daily
basis. They provided virtually no direction in the set upa n d e x

quantity (up to 4,000 perievent) and successful promotion in
beverage operations. Asystem was devised by Wolperthat would record

andmishaps leading to customerdissatisfaction. * j fI cannot
understand whycertain individuals at Conneaut Lake Park failed
topublicly recognize our hardw o r k a n d a c h i e v e m e n ts

Mononucleosis: TheVirus in disguiseBy Susan MarcyIn Jane Brody's
" New YorkTimes Guide to PersonalHealth , " mononuc leos is
isreferred to as "the great mas-querader." Why? According toBrody,
"mono is a great mas-querader, and the symptomsof many victims
mimic thoseof more or less* ser iousdiseases. Because the infection
involves nearly everyorgan of the body, the symptoms tend to be
varied andconfus ing."
Mononuc leos is is mos tc o m m o n l y d i a g n o s e d i
nteenagers and young adults sothere is a general concernamong
students about howmono is contracted, how it canbe treated and most
import a n t l y , h o w it c a n b eprevented. *According to
Sister JosephMary, R.N., director of'healthservices, "because mono
is avirus, one should take thesame precauflons with rnonothat* one
wo uld with a cold.
