VOLUME 4 9 , NO . 19 MERCYHURST COLLEGE APRIL 15,1977

^Relations ^between the Mercyhurst faculty and top leveladm inistra tors, -which ha vebecome increasingly strainedthroughout^ the academic year,have now reached the point! ofofficial,! but| private,* confrontation. & .|j]At aCmeeting held Wednesday,March 30, the faculty voted tosend to Dr. Jerry Trimble, deanof the college and vice presidentof academic services, whatfaculty sources have fcalled an"official letter of censure. " $The statement expresseddissatisfaction with the Dean'shandling of "academic decisionsand of people, personally andprofessionally," the sources said.A second letter was sent t to

President of i theS College I Dr.Marion> L. Shane. It announcedthe faculty's intention to seek anon-campus meeting ?fiwithmembers off the Board J ofTrustees while an ad hoc Boardcommittee reviews ] Dr.* S hane'scontract, which is up for renewalat the end of the year. MBThe motion to send an officialstatementljto j Dr. j Trimblereportedly passed by a m argin of44 votes in favor, one opposed,with three abstentions. There is,h o w e v e r , P w i d e s p r e a ddisagreement over \ the* exactstatus of the statement, and overthe severity of the reprimand itimplies. J | |$f && \ & ;..;I Numerous faculty contacted byThe Merciad routinely ca lled it a

Dr. Trimble,however, said \ it ? was neverreferred to I him as such, butrather 2 as a, "facultyresolution"both in the text ofthe 5 letter and in conversationwith faculty members, is The letterfdid not demand orrequest! of tDr. | Trimble anyspecific response. 1 * 3| "It w as decided, finally, to justinform (the Dean) officially theextent- to which morale hasdeteriorated around here, ' ' said afaculty member, "and then waitfor the administration's responseto see what further action needsto be taken, if any."Early in the first week of May,Dr. Trimble mailed a memo to allfaculty noting that he had

"facultyeceived mthefiSresolution."|j B L441 was disappointed that I wasaccused and judged in aunilateral manner without beinggiven a chance at least to presentmy perspective," he wrote inpart, but Hater added, "I mustassiume there is .substance tosome of the concerns.. .and I willtry to examine my performancein light of those concerns."Several faculty members toldThe Merciad they regarded the

Dean's j g memo tas & a"nonresponse." Dr. Trimble saidit was a "first formal response,"and that he is "still mulling overhow to^handle the situation.'Thus, relations between theMercyhurst faculty and its twochief administrators dissolvedinto a tense, edgy impasse as thecollege paused for the Easterbreak. The same j conditionsprevailed as classes resumed this

week. w-^J j&*i

To The Editor: jP o s i t i v e A t t i t u d e N e e d e dI.regretted reading the article on the frontpage of the April 1,1977, Merciad entitled ^Intercession Problem Unresolved/' This articlestated that the meetings with the faculty andstudents concerning Intersession planningwere a failure.iBut from participating in oneof those meetings I can truthfully say that itcertainly was not*an'4'appaifent failure.'*' Inmy meeting, a s well as those of several otherstudents with whom I have talked, there w a s aconsiderable number * of worthwhilepossibilities discussed. Some examples include pre-in ter ns hip^ e x p e r i e n c e ,

specialization in a specific topic o r field, tours(not only travel tours, but those demonstrating possible career placement) andseminars.There were also other ideas discussed suchas an outlined Intersession plan common to allMercyhurst students including specific cour-Th e ba se ba ll, cr ew , sof tba ll, ten nis ses that coincide with Blueprint III goals. Theand golf {teams have begun the i r list of possibilities is endless.Both faculty and students complainedbecause classes were cancelled to hold thismeeting and also because of th e short notice ofthe meeting. Even though we weren't askedwhen a good time for the meeting would be,the time w a s set aside s o w e should have takenadvantag e of it . JI can remember ho w everyone reacted whenthe abolition ofHntersession was considered.The general feeling was th at Intersession wasa good idea but needed improvement. Thismeeting wastersessionto make it the way we thoughtwould be most beneficialno our]needs. No, Idon't think the failure was with the meetingsand th e data collected in them. T h e only example of failure was with the num ber of studentsand faculty^ that attended the meeting,possibly because of their attitude .A positive attitude toward Intersession and-or the meeting itself, as with anything else atthis college or in our lives, is necessary tomake something successful. It seems as if themost important part of changing Intersession

is changing our attitudes toward positive ones.Chris Filippi % M i f

Almost tw o weeks a g o , a car h i t a pedestrianon 38th S treet and killed him. S ome of theresidents near there thought it-was becausethe driver w a s speeding d u e t o t h e lack of traffic signals. E ven though it happened about tw omiles from Mercyhurst, it seem s they have ashortage of traffic signals Hoo. Someday, itmay be in front of the college and the resultscould b e death also.A few weeks ago I stated in a letter to theMerciad j that I thought Mercyhurst shouldhave a traffic signal on 38th S treet. I said thatif there wasn't one placed at this gate, an accident would soon result, fBeing the type of person th at I am, I then satback and waited for a member of the administration to make a comment or takesome action toward it. r though studentsweren't supposed t o d o those things.Well, I might have known. There wasneither comment?or*action. I do realize that,the administration is busy and does not have^enough time; to answer every letter that"appears in the jjMerciad, but thisj was a very jserious matter that should have been dealtwith.S o , I am going to act in a way I'm not accustomed to, but should be. That is , this weekeven though I am fbusy too, I am going totramp down to City Hall and inquire into this,jlf I get any resu lts I will certainly inform thestudent body and th e administration.

Moz art and the Ballet, presented to the Mercyhurst community, was both pleasing anddisappointing.The performance could have easily been asuccess had it not used the talent of the M artinL uther K ing* Jr . Ballet Company. The company appeared to take something away fromth e overall performance. * IPerhaps this had to do with the age of thejunior company's performers. The company'sages ranged from 8 to 16, though I could bewrong. Jfe * |Age had a Jot to do with the performance,mainly because the dancers of th e junior company were not as polished asfthe MercyhurstDance Company. |The high point of the performance cameduring Mozart's second symphony as LisaO wens, Jenny Arold, Colleen Angerer, AndreaDulin and Jennifer DiU in, all high schoolstudents performed admirably. |, Though some m ay believe I've contradictedmyself by saying that the? high point camefrom a handful of high school students, let mepoint out that these five dancers a re quickly ontheir w a y i n becoming polished dancers .Perhaps I should take that one step furtherb y saying they ar e already better than some of.Mercyhurst*s ow n dancers. |The nam e of Allan K inzie should also bementioned. K inzie was the choreographer forthis dance.No doubt there are other standouts such asChristina Cottman and Denise Corben in thesixth m ovement of L e s Petits Riens.Though the three day performance had itsups and downs like an elevator, it did stabilizeto a certain extent near the end. That extentwas|enough to make Mozart and the Balletworth watching. Chris VanWagenen

(Editor's Note: The followingshort story, written by JoanieStevenson, isone of the proseselections which; will .appear inthis year's edition of Settings, thecollege; literary magazine. Thestory will appear under Ms.Stevenson's own title,* "I 'mLooking for My Father."I had to ask her why she was soexcited about a bus trip. Itseemed sometimes that I spenthalf of my vacations Tn bus terminals and I couldn't understandanyone actually -anticipatingfatiresome, bumpy busride on[viiowy interstates but there shev asthis small girl with longi uburn hair and a wide grin (herpeeth were white and even, by the|#vay), and she stood at Gate 10, inthe midst of the noisy, after-holiday crowd. As I sat near her4ate, wrinkling my one-wayticket, Inoticed now she swayedJvery now and then, asfeif herexcitement couldn't be kept in-side much longer. fNow, I'musually a snob interminals. I hate bus trips, and,even worse, I hate being bothered\yft fellow passenger-strangersduring the eight hours to mycollege. So, I act like a blue-jeaned snob and people leave mealone. But, damn, there she wasstanding at that gateno elsewas was even in line yetand herexuberance really unsettled me.So, despite my snob act, Ihad toget up and ask her. I just had to."I'm going to find my father!"she exclaimed, answering as if Iwere a dear friend. "We've beenapart for years, you know, andI've finally found him!" 1The shine ofher hair deeplyimpressed me, although I seldomnotice such things, and he r teethgleamed as she continued to tellof her coming trip. \ J-"I'm so glad it's at Christmastimejeven if it is after. See, wegot a letter from my father'ssister. S he and my mother neverkeep in touch, but, all of a sudden,a letter Tfrom Dayton arrives.Mom's been denying for yearsthat my father is even alive, but Iknow different. He's in Dayton. Iknow it. " S he nodded her head toconfirm her logic, f ^T $$Well, this m ade no sense to me.

And I usually- don't^'involvemyself with strangers , especiallyflaky girls, but she had so openlytrusted me, the second one in her"line," with her tale that I placedher neat, beige tote next to mytravel-worn gear and - we sattogether among theiincreasingcrowd of travelers. fBoth of| our buses had beendelayed so we had time to talkor rather,.she had time to talk.Like I said, I seldom * involvemyself with strangers, so Ihaveno interest or talent in small talkbut shewas great? at . trivialquestions and comments. Soon,she was quite impressed with myupper-class background but wasreluctant to tell of her own life,other than the dreams of her bigreunion with her father. y." I t ' s so hard to developviewpoints or future plans when

...On The Bus Line To Daytona field where I can make easymoney before I'm too old."She was amazed that I didn'twant to be ar'fine doctor" likemy father.T*He's not a 'fine doctor'," Ianswered. "O h, we've lived verywell and his* patients seem tobelieve in him, but I doubt thathe's actually agood doctor."She didn't understand that andI usually don't divulge my lifestory to strangers so, shutting up,I slouched in] my hard chair.Some ugly beggar came up to methen for some change. I ignoredhim and, when my snob actworked and he moved on, I triedto remember the last time I had

behind me. Her once-exuberantvoice merely whispered, "Hello,mother," as she s tared at theperson behind me.;| [I turned andsaw an unimpressive, gray-haired woman.Despite allthat talk about herfather, the girl had told nothing ofher mother, yet there she stood,defeated and hunched over afaded purse. Her expression wasas em pty as; my knowledge ofher. ; *?*,Her daughter?was very tensenow and spoke in a softer butmore desperate tone. " . &. Iknow he's in i Dayton this time.That letter from his sister . ; . "Her small mother met the girl's

you don't know3 your past, isn'tit?""My past hasn't helped me," Imuttered. ^ |Her bright eyes lookeddisappointed. "Oh, butwhen Imeet my father, I'll know exactlywhatito be and feel," she said,with conviction. "It all dependson him, you know.""Don't other people influenceyou? Your mother, perhaps?"My question was met with alook of hurt, so I left it?alone."Well,'\I thought, "I'mJnot *counseloror a babysitter. Thiskid's awful simple."But, the girl quickly changed sothat the gleam was back again.Shejumped up, left,, and soonreturned with two Cokes. As shenoisily opened the can and caughtthe running foam^ betweenher lips, she cheerfully began totalk again, i *i, -i Mi -/-.."What are your future plans?"was her first question.| 4,I don't have any vet,"ft said,stuffing my bus ticket into mypocket and sipping my tinny-tasting gift "I'm still looking for

I had beenyounger than she was, surely, butI wasn't quite sure exactly whather age was. |I was about to ask her when shejumped up once more andgrabbed the beige tote. j ."I don't remember where I putmy ticket!" she cried. \She found it in a zipper compartment and carefully sm oothedit out on her knee. "I want it ingood condition. It'll be a souvenirof my 'dream-come-true',"! herwhite teeth gleamed broadly.sr"You've got sort of an easyhappiness ," I i softly said. Iseldom involve myself 3 withflattery but! I then said, fromdeeper down, "It's something Ijust don't have. " | |S he continued her shining smileas her eyes left m ine to scan thewaiting mass i of people. Suddenly, I saw that excitedradiance disappear from f hereyes, mouth and total ap-pearance. Her expression wentblank, with a subtle air of gloom,as I felt a peculiar presence

blank stare. "It was only aChristmas card. S he's moved andwanted us tohaveUhe new address," her tired voice replied.Between the throng of peopleand the private scene of three,the atmosphere became veryheavy to me. I remained slumpedbetween the 3 standing-but-hunched mother and her sitting-but-stiffened daughter, and I wasmost uneasy. "Why did I ever getinvolved?" I yelled at myself.But, nonetheless, I whispered tothe haggard woman, "it's happened before, hasn't it?"The mother moved slowly toher daughter's side and awrinkled hand stroked theauburn hair. The daughtercontinued to stare gloomily at hermother, who looked at me for thefirst time. i"Usually around the holidays,"the resigned voice answered. "O rwhen we hear from someone weseldom see. She'll |pack, comehere and . . . and go tosee herfather.. . until I come to gether." Tears slowly ran down thegirl's face, but went unnoticed.

"She's a good girl, though,".themother continued. "Never putsup a fight. In a few days, backhome, she'll even be smilinga g a i n " 1 :The aged woman touched herdaughter's arm, then^The younggirl automatically rose as I onceagain became aware of theterminal ' s underlying *din .ofpassengers. The floudspeakerannounced the boarding of herbus to Dayton but the tears hadstopped failing and the sway wasgone from her movement. .'.^As the thin mother picked upthe clean, beige tote, I naivelyasked, "Isn 't it possible that he isin Dayton?" . " $Mother's blank voice spoke forthe last time as she passed meher daughter's empty Coke can.'We've buried him a long timeago." | |They never looked at m e again.The passive, once-brilliant girltook a loose hold of the beige tote,dropping on the floor her unusedticket to Dayton. It went un-noticed'and holding hands, thetwo silently walked aw ay.I picked up her dropped ticket,gulped down the rest of my drinkand threw the ticket and two cansquickly into a trash container.Some punk with beer on hisbreath bumped into me, then,excused himself with a "MerryChristmas" and stumbled on.'Gathering up my dirty luggage,I pulled my bus ticket out of mypocket, it had become a creasedball."What a mess," I whispered,trying to straighten all the linesand creases. *What amess." fjA crammed |group of complaining bodies and suitcases.hadformed at my gate and, beforejoining their ranks, I looked uptoward the front of the terminal.But they had gone and my bus'sarrival had already been* announced.
