College IneligibleFor Titlelm GrantMercyhurst College has beenruled ineligible for nearly $4million in Title HI funds.

repeated telephone calls to seekclarification failed to obtain achange in the DOE decision.- "Eve n if considered, we wouldnot, be eligible for'the awardbecause of the strides we havemade academically and finan-cially," quoted Markovich in theExchange.He added, "This was the finesteffort I have ever seen by anyfaculty. These great ideas (in theproposal) will be used in futuregrant activities."Markovich was not availablefor comment in the Merciad dueto an out-of-town trip.Dr. Garvey informed the Mer-ciad, "It's a compliment that wedidn't get it. The governmentdecreed that Mercyhurst was toostrong to be a developinginstitution."Mercyhurst exceeded the TitleIII criteria in every area but thefinancial aid area, said Dr.Garvey. ^f-' "We gave a high ratio of finan-cial aid and in that sense we're adeveloping college," statedGarvey.v He said he was not shocked bythe DOE. "I knew we didn'tbelong but I was hoping we mightsneak in because of financialaid," he explained. jA few Mercyhurst employeeswill lose their jobs b ecause of theTitle III decision, said Garvey.Those employees are part time,he added. *

Hotel Restaurant DepartmentProposes Cafeteria TakeoverThe Hotel Restaurant Manage-ment department is currently inthe process of preparing a pro-posal which will enable thedepartment to take over foodpreparatory dut ies in the!cafeteria. IThe proposal will be presentedto the administration by the endof the month and decision is ex-pected to be reached by the mid-dle of May, said Francis Pauze,assistant professor of hotelrestaurant management. 'The only significant changethat would occur would be theemployees who presently workfor KC foods would be employedby the college. ; \Food would still be provided bythe same distributors and boardrates would not be affected, saidPauze."We will be saving in salaries,but gaining in other expenses," |added Pauz e. '/"-/;These other expenses includethe extras such as garnishes,| < The "e xtr as " would be possibleto prepare for students BecauseHRM students would required todo classroom laboratories in thecafeteria. *By providing a facility forHRM majors more students willbe able to gain their valuable ex-perience of working in a larg e in-stitution instead of traveling off

campus to obtain this opportuni-ty, said Pauze. .;. *The cafeteria as a learningfacility would "Open up somemore avenues for us" statedPauze. ';Next year between 180-200students are expected to be HRMmajors. This would become thelargest department of the col-

lege, he added.Keith Crouse, director of KFoods, commented on the sitution to the Merciad.Crouse said, "It will be vedifficult for students to run thcafeteria 360 day s." But he addthat a compromise should breached between both the HRMdepartment and KC Foods.President Garvey GivesOfficial Cafe PositionIn response to circulatingrumors about a change in

cafeteria management, Presi-dent/William Garvey recentlyrevealed to the Merciad what heterms "the official college state-ment" on the situation."At this point, the college isconsider ing the si tuat ion,"Garvey said, adding quickly thatno plans have yet been finalized.4 It depends upon whether asatisfactory arrangement can beworked out with the depart-ment," he said. * IGarvey emphasized that such adecision would not be made forfinancial gain or because ofunhappiness with the presentcafeteria situation."The change will come only

because of the possibilities it ofers the Hotel-RestauranManagement department fotraining for students."KC Foods has served thschool very well," Garvey sai"and it is important that peopr e a l i z e t h a t t h e c u r r e nemployees will not be affected bthe change. ft"We have to consider the needof the HRM students and ouboard students to ensure that ths a m e h i g h q u a l i t y t h acharacterizes the present systemis continued," Garvey said."The matter is being givecareful consideration," Garvesaid, but "a final decision on thwill not be made until the middof May."

The creation of Sesler livingspace for the academicallyserious students .is a boon longoverdue lor a number of reasons.First, the new building will pro-vide a stimulating atmosphereoutside of the class. Studentswhose learning experience goesbeyond class texts will have anopportunity to intellectually ex-pand with others like themselves.Next, an academically orientedresidence hall will benefitstudents whose study skills arehabitual. These students need aquieter atmosphere more con-ducive to study.Finally, the new building willact as a resource pool forstudents who would like to tradebooks, notes, and similar smart-ness paraphernalia.Tlie charge that the Seslerbuilding will breed an elite stu-dent is a false fear. Hopefully theattitude fostered in the academicapartments will emanate acrossthe entire campus.

(financed by the college), in-volvement in Activities Day, andrequests for funds are just a fewof the issues we're working on,and more commuters should beinvolved to make these decisions. Meetings are held in the Cam-pus Ministry every second Mon-day, and notices of the time areposted. Everyone is welcome,and all commuters have a vote onthe issues, so get involved!Thank You :jThe Commuter Council andTim Bernik, Commuter Rep.

Work ScholarshipsAvailable For Aidby Martha CampMercyhurst President William P.Garvey has announced plans for"work scholarships," a newcollege-funded financial aid pro-gram, scheduled to begin inSeptember 1982. *^To'help meet the Reaganchallenges," Garvey said thisprogram will make $100-125 thou-sand in aid available to Mer-cyhurst students.About $75 thousand of thismoney will be used for a programof campus-based jobs.These jobs will involve morehours and money than work-study positions, Garvey said, butwill not replace them. However,they will also bear more respon-sibility, he added. The employees will be paid inthe form of tuition remissions,ranging from $750 to $2500.The positions are open to all up-perclassmen, and will be award-ed on the basis of financial need

and job-suitability. They? are"renewable upon satisfactoryperformance," Garvey said.A list of available positions w illbe printed in a later issue of theMerciad so students may applyat job locations."included in this new aid pro-gram is a series of college-financed loans. idThere will be about $40 thou-sand in loans available to up-perclassmen for 1982-83.The loans, of $1000 each, will berepayable within a year at an in-terest rate of 7-8 per cent, Garveysaid. ?tg Smaller amounts will also beavailable for short-term loanwith a service fee. iThe whole thrust of the newprogram, Garvey explained, is tomake it possible for students toreduce their costs. f f.Complete plans for the new pro-gram will be released in the lastweek of April.

this to be unfair to other Seslerresidents. The building's creationwas also felt, to be dis-criminatory. As one represen-tative asked, "What happens to aperson with a 3.8 average whoseroommate has a 1.5? Should wechoose friends by personality orgradepoint?" Other argumentsheld that the building would havea disunifying effect on students,and create elitism. A motion wasmade recommending that theS e s l e r b u i l d i n g n o t b edesignated; it was passed withone opposed and two abstaining.
