For those of us who have gradually been turned off by the typical stand-up singer on the Coffee House Circuit, there's cause for hope and yes. even jubilation over the home fires this week. The never-ending scene of song after song, occasionally interrupted by u\ lukewarm campus joke or a typically un­timely political barb has at last been broken.

And.his wisecracks are generally enough to please you to the point that his music may not even matter. £

But his music does indeed matter, as you will sec. Twelve years of guitar experience, plus an amazing knowledgctof music history all the way back to the Big Bopperj provides Grossman with an impressive arsenal to completely entertain you$ |

Grossman can be as delicate and artistic with a piece as James

FROm THE TOWER: A View Of R.U.S.

Presently, RUS seems to be the dominating conversational topic on campus, at least among its members. Apparently, the gentle prodding of the Merciad editors played a | significant role in stimulating an unusually large attendance at • the last meeting. More students are now aware that there is such a thing as student fgovernment on the campus, and we hope this interest and enthusiasm indicates a

growin involve

tendency to become

* * *

A word of commendation must be given to our student govern­ment for granting Miss Bliesz-nerJs request of $200 to assist Bridge, a local drug help center. This year has witnessed an in creasing generosity on the part oi the students when.;it comes to answering the pleas of worthy causes.

• f * * i *

RUS must realize that critical review and debate are jmajor components in a $k viable democracy. There |is |a con­tradiction in^ crying fori more student interest while at the same time being hyper-sensitive to criticism. Blind acceptance of the actions of a governing body works against itself, resulting in an apathetic constituency. Why is it that a ruling institution never considers undue praise as being biased in the same manner as criticism? We hope the "America, love it orfleave it'* mentality is not manifesting itself in our own student government. The?5edition Acts were repealed long ago.

* * *

At the last RUSfmeeting we sensed a* deep-seated frustration underlying the actions of its members and observers. |RUS desperately wants to do something, to be of some help and use to the students. The question is what can it do, and how can it be done? The latest attempt by Marty Keeney at generating

some kind of action was the "Freedom March". We;got the impression that many of those who showed up didn't know why they were there, and* their con­fusion was compounded as they tried to figure out why RUS was there. Some excellent ideas were brought up nevertheless, a strong dorm self-rule system being one of them. We hope this and other suggestions raised will be acted on. -| J | | |. ' i i- M •

* * * From our own viewpoint, it

seems that one of the biggest barriers preventing RUS from being a productive body is its bureaucratic entanglement in the College Senate. Four years ago, we thought it would be a great thing to have such an "influential role" Jin college policies. Actually, the role we were given might* be compared to a giant pacifier handed to the students so that we wouldn't feel threatened by those perennial "bad guys", the administration. The ad­ministration, though well-intentioned, often uses the college senate as a rubber stamp to approve decisions that have already been*made. They have the information ion budgets, admissions, etc. and this in| formation is power. They have the power, not students or faculty. --.: M& t J,!

I * * * Students seem to be getting

tired of going to meetings, meetings land more meetings, listening to college business being discussed. We really aren't in­terested in budgets, admissions policies, and maintenance problems, nor do we have suf­ficient ^knowledge concerning these matters| to| make valid judgments. The result is that we vote according to the information supplied us by our benevolent autocracy, and again, knowledge is power. The process is ex­tremely slow. No small wonder that students don't go to RUS with their problems—it might take 90

days for the system to digest the proposal and come to a decision.

t"V I * * * J i We are wondering whether it

would be advisable for RUS to re­evaluate its role in the College Senate. RUS wants to get back to the students, but it's almost submerged in the school's bureaucracy. Students are concerned With what affects them most — alcohol on campus and intervisitation policies to name a couple. It might not be a bad idea for our student government to disentangle itself from I the business of running a college and concentrate on the business of helping students get a square deal regarding their life-style here. We see no J reason why an in­dependent, self-governing student body with true legislative power cannot be a reality here. Proposals could be acted on by their government quickly I and would not get lost in the clogged machinery of the present system.

* * *

If the above were ac­complished, student government would have run a full cycle which began four years ago. This doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, because it?has learned much in those?years, which would con­tribute to the formation of quite a different organization from the old SGA. It would be a giant step into an unknown area however. Thomas Jefferson realized the hesitation involved in taking such a drastics step when he wrote in the Declaration of Independence that: Wt I |

...mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils fare sui ferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. In other words, a known evil is preferred to an unknown evil. The question which RUS must asnwerrthen, is whether the present system is an evil, and if so, does it warrant abolishment andfthe setting out into uncharted regions.

WHO CARES ? by Cathy Stevenson

«,?? toe time Jf0? *e ,a d thto. you may have forgotten the first day of V\ inter Term, but think back for just a minute. . .

How mahy times were you asked the following questions £ ;-1. How was your vacation? 2. What courses are you taking? How many times did you ask these questions? i One would think that Mercyhurst students could be more original

Ft. and truthful. * •** Let me be truthful for a second. I had a rotten Christmas

vacation, mainly because I happen to have a good time at school and visiting all of my married high school friends doesn't exactly thrill me. | 9&&

I'm beginning to think that I'm the only person on campus who did have an un-fantastic vacation, which I doubt (or hope) is not true.

By now everyone will have worn all their new outfits and the guys will have let their hair grow in again, but most important polite questions will be abandoned; for some at least.

The next big vacation will be at Easter and I can truthfully say that I will probably have a good time. You see, 111 be in Florida with friends from Mercyhurst.

But please don't ask me those trite polite questions unless you care to hear the answer. *

When one student asked mo if I had a nice Christmas vacation, I said, "no, not really", to which lie replied, "that's nice, I had fun too." J W

(8tli in a series) The enrollment of the school

also grew steadily from 1926-1936. The first entering class consisted of twenty-one Freshmen and four Sophomores, but Table II shows by 1931, there were four times as many students attending Mer­cyhurst, and by|l936, eight times as many.

Total Enr. 25 1104 198 Freshman Enr. 21 29 f 57 6 The growth in Freshmen from 1931 to 1936 is especially sur­prising since the Depression kept many students from attending College. One explanation for the large increase might be the in­creasing popularity oi Mer- • cyhurst among public school graduates. In 1931, onlyififteen oi the twenty-nine freshmen were from public schools, whereas in,| 1936, tnirty-five oi the fifty-seven were from public schools, jl

The costs for attending Mer-g cyhurst did not change much throughout the first ten years.

Bukowski Home Economics was the only specialized .program available. There fwas no ^Elementary Education or Business * Depart­ments! By 1936,* however, Business had been added to the program, and, as Table IV shows, it was largely responsible for the college growth * in enrollment. Home Economics had also tripled its original size by 1937. While the college called itself *,a 'i Liberal Arts School in the Catalogue, the figures indicate that over half the college was enrolled in vocational areas. •; LJ

The ^original Mercyhurst curriculum was essentially one of the traditional Arts and Sciences.

While £ Mercyhurst's first decade had revealed substantial growth in all areas from students and faculty to library books and courses, there was also a corresponding strong develop­ment of the College's social and cultural life.

Presently, cancer research can be found on two levels at Mer­cyhurst. J J '*r5 ffifig|

On the undergraduate level, Sr. Eymard has opened the option to Senior Biology majors who may wish to work in the area of cancer research. J I f *

In either I program, 'Sister stressed the importance „ of training workers who stay'on to research I under her instead of moving on. "I don't want to train them and then have them leave," she said. $ | 7 $fe

Sr. Eymard indicated, too, that funding for the program has been a play-by-play situation in which no source can be counted on for any length of time. * * §f

The received grants from the National Science Foundation for two three-year periods*' said Sr. Eymard had as their purpose to "get the Program started and to help with the purchase of ex­pensive research equipment." L

The program is now being funded by the Erie Unit of the American Cancer Society. But Sister ? plans t o | apply to the American Cancer Society "with the hope of funding some students to help with research." y |

Thus is the life of a biology student! At least that's what most people think! Mercyhurst's biology students, however, are able to engage the recreational aspect of biology—the Biology Club. This practically non­existent club has for the first time in many years a>t totafr mem­bership of about 40 students. An organization can only*- survive if all its members cooperate and maintain an interst in its ac­tivities. % r f % & Many activities have been planned for the remainder of the year. Some of the upcoming events for Winter Term are: lecture by Dr.!1 Cohen, and Dr. Snow on "Medical Hypnotism"; a

bake sale at the end of February, and a variety of career films on Biology,* Chemistry, Medical Technology, and Allied Health Fields.

Spring Term will host many field trips with Roswell Institute in Buffalo heading the list. Roswell is the site of research on cancer and its advancements in possible cures. April 4 is the tentative date set.

Mercyhurst's Biology Club will also conducts an open house|for high school science students. Tours of the Biology, Chemistry, and Math departments are conducted thoroughout the day .

Several other activities are: a campus clean up held on Ecology day; the Eastern College Science Conference at Perm State in April; Tri-Beta banquet | in March, and a Bake Sale in May.

Hopefully, the article has your mind quite •; enlightened when evauluating a typical Biology student! Sure, we spend endless hours in lab, but an intersting and eventful Biology Club makes it all worthwhile.! J

Earth-Space Club

by Patti Beck \ After much planning and

organization, the idea of establishing an I Earth Science Club at Mercyhurst? has finally become a reality. The purpose of the club according to fits president, Jim Zielinski, is to provide students with anjj op­portunity to explore the different aspects of Earth Science through a variety of club activities. These would include camping trips, hikesi fossil digs, and field trips to places such as Niagara Falls. Buffalo, and Natural Science Museum of Toronto, and Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh^

With the help of advisors Mr. David Thomas and Sister Mat­thew, plans have already gotten under way for winter and spring activities. The first field .trip scheduled will be to Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh at the end of January.*Club members will have a chance to observe some assembly work being done on the prehistoric exhibits at the in­vitation of Mr. George Hamilton, curator of Pleistocene ver­tebrates at the museum. ^

Tentative spring plans for the club will include a camping trip to the Appalachian mountains in the vicinity of Elkins, West Virginia to Haegerstwon, Maryland. a

Interested? Plan to attend one of the monthly meetings and get involved. The newly formed Earth Science Club seems to have a lot to offer in the way of casual learning experiences, outdoor activities, and just plain fun.

LAKERS 4?? by Dario Cipriani Sports Editor

The year 1973 began for the Mercyhurst Laker basketball team the same way that |l972 ended. At times they look like the District 18 champs that they very well might be and at times they look like an unorganized in­tramural team who couldn't win th i s | schools j 4 B " league championship.^ •

The new year began ate the Brockport sHoliday^Classic. The first round saw Mercyhurst face powerful Brockport State| Call it what you wan$ getting homered, hozed, or home-cooked, the Lakers should have? won, but didn't; They lost 75-72. However, the next evening they faced Western New England and came away with an impressive 62-48 victory to carry home the con­solation trophy. The team played well in Brockport and things were looking up as we boarded the vans for a trip tof Rochester on Tuesday, January 19th.

St? John Fisher was the host that evening and they were still stinging from the defeat the first year Lakers hung on them last season. That night Mercyburjst looked as rotten as a basketball team could look and the Cardinals almost blew us back to the state border. The score/is too em­barrassing to print&so we'll skip

that tidbit of information. Twenty-four hours later the

Lakers salvaged something from the trip when they defeated Roberts Wesleyan 86-66. As we headed back to Erie, the question was still, "What's wrong with the Laker?"

On the 13th, the Mercyhurst team traded jbaskets with Alliance in the lid-lifter of a double I header at Gannon. They played well enough to take an 83-73 decision and this put them at 9-4. |

As I see it, this past Wednesday may have told*the tale for the

Lakers in their '72-73 season. Point Park ?will have played against the * Lakers at Tech Memorial gym and depending on the outcome, so goes Mercyhurst for the remainder of the year. If they won, look for us in the District 18 tournament j with a chance to travel to Kansas City for the nationals. If they lost, look for a long tough road to the District playoffs with a slim to non-existent chancel of heading west. The outcome, of course, is now history. It's either 10-4 or 9-5 as we travel to Lock !>Haven tonight to meet the Bald Eagles.

With football season coming to a formal close after * Sunday s Super Bowl, this will be the last article until the *1973 M.F.L. season begins this September.

In writing this final *football article, another first has? been added to the J other firsts that intramural director ^ Dave Shimpeno has prompted. $•

The last of the "firsts" for this season has been the formation of an intramural football All-Star team. ^T Y i S J S J
