Pursuant to my discussion with youon5April 7, I would like toistate the following impressions: 1. The basic play of the proposed constitution seems to remedy many of th e problems thatthe current Senate has faced. While moving towardthis representative style of governance posits goodfaith on the part of the constituencies represented,including that of the administration, I believe that apositive environment on campus can make the plansuccessful. | iftA :1 have been present when underclassmen approach upperclassmen withquestions an d concerns that they did no t want to taketo health services.

there, but, that they wanted to go elsewhere. Fromthe need to know "where" came the Council. Comprised of individuals who were concerned (facultyand students), the Council began searching outclinics, physicians and serv ices that were needed bystudents. This information has been disseminated onand around campus in the fall and winter of 1974-75.The Council was being heard at the school. On occasion, seminars and speakers have been provided.There were some* in positions' of understanding wholistened and understood. It has been unpleasant formost of u s a t times. I In the long run, we feel that the information we'vegotten together and the students we've helped havemade it all worthwhile. W^ f |Mercyhurst College may have appeared astolerant and therefore: "approving." May it beproposed that some understanding be given to thosewho realize what the students* needs are and thatanother; opinion i s n o t unrealistic.

C h e a t N o w !Dear Editor, \ 'I wholeheartedly agree with the students whocondone cheating. As a graduating senior who hasgone through several job interviews, I have but onemessa ge to impart to underclassmen: "Cheat whileyou have th e chance." | iM y reasons for espousing this supposedly morallydegenerate view are two-fold. First of all, a QPA isan arbitrary number which often reflects somethingwhich, for the 'mo st part, is unmeasurable -knowledge. Some people are better testers thanothers. Some teachers are biased; some testingsituations are a!sham. Why not beat the system?Education is a system, but grades sometimes unfairly label a PERSON. "f 5Secondly, when a job interviewer views an interviewee's Qualifications, his eyes almost alwaysrivet to the QPA a n d o n that basis alone, the studentis often judged. It doesn't matter to the interviewerthat grades are often no t the true m easure of ability.Ooen Letter

T u i t i o n

The most important factor to the interviewer is thisarbitrary number. #It is considered immoral to cheat to raise a QPA.But, why has no one ever looked at another form offalse representationthe age old practice ofBrowniesBrowning a teacher. It's okay in thegrading system to play "Cecilia Suck Butt" butcheating is condemned. This seemes to be a contradiction. IIn summ ation, let me reiterate: Mercyhurst, CheatWhile You C a n ! IEdward BuryW o m e n ' s S p o r t sDear Editor, J[I think the time has come for someone to publiclyask the question has been on a lot of people's mindslately: Do the female athletes on this campus reallydeserve equality? By equality, of course, I meanequal equipment, eq ual, funds, and above all equalfa n support. ^There has been a lot of talk about the dedication ofour women athletes and until very recently I had noreason to question it. However, I've been m ore observant lately and have come to the conclusion thatou r girls are not exactly the saints we've been led tobelieve. This past Saturday (April 12) night I attended th e Sesler party and waspleasantly surprisedto see the men's crew team admirably restrictingthemselves to non-alcoholic beverages. "But where"I wondered, "is th e women's crew? Well, a couple ofthem were on 'the floor, some were happilystaggering among the crowd, and one brave soul wasattempting to relate, to her companion, the events ofher first chance in the boat. Needless to say I waspuzzled!;.Is this the way women get themselves inshapeis the female make-up so different thatalcohol gives them strength and * builds theirstamina? r iM \ .; ;Equality and respect must be earned by a definiteshow of determined effort. Does getting drunk thenight before your closing season game demandrespect? Does a practice with less than half the teamin attendance show a determined effort? And doesletting yourselves be seen drinking while your malecounterparts discipline themselves show a desire forequality? | &; (** f 1I sincerely would like to hear a reply from anywomen athletes if I have been misinformed oHif Ihave m isinterpreted th e situation.Roger Perry [P.S. If women find it impossible to disciplinethemselves perhaps they should get out of sports andleave athletic endeavors to the "stronger sex"!

I 3^ 4From 1 | the beg inn ing ,someone was * aware of myfind, and determined that Iwould not publish what I hadlearned. I found ananonymous note pasted on th ewindshield of my car, warning me not to publish the

story. I observed that the notewas written on Mercyhurststationery, in crayon, and th atmany words were misspelled.From these facta, I w as ableto deduce! that! the threatcame from the more literatesector of the com munity, andseemed to originate from thecollege ad m inistration. ,\Desp i te .the t h re a t s , Ipersisted in working on thestory. "THE PUBLIC H A S ARIGHT TO KNOW!" So herel t i s .Bl 3lYears ago, these men wereinvolved in] an insidiousscheme to turn Mercyhurstinto a Christian college.

The m an on the leftvested himself in a terribleblack robe and invoked theheavens, and h is par tne rcalled forth the thunder witha voice reminiscent oflightning, and many peoplewere led to believe that theworld w a s ending.

Little is known of whatbecame o f these men .Rumors have been numerous.One particularly persistentone has to do with theirhaving formed a singinggroup which is threateningother campuses across thecountry, using secret songs,which though they ^appearinnocuous, carry t h a tinsidious message. Anotherrumor places these men onthe Mercyhurst campus.

Racquet RichardThe most important personor persons on an athlet ic teamis usually the captain. This , ofcourse, i s not counting th ecoach, even though, af tert a l k i n g to s o m e o ff t h ea th le tes , I can safely sa y tha tsomecoaches a r e less im portant people on amathle t icteam.*I R e c e n t l y , I i n t e r v i e w e dsome of the spring sportsc a p t a i n s . I posed a fewquest ions to them an d this ishow their responses differedfrom e ach other . ,. {The f irs t quest ion I askedt h e m w a s : W h a t r e s p o n sibilities do you, a s a captain,take toward better ing yourteam? Steve "Buzz" Brandon(one of the co-captains of thebaseball team) answered byemphasizing th e fact that acaptain is a l eader a n d aleader m u s t no t fold "butalways keep on thinking.iBruce Chase answered th esame quest ion in a? differentway . H e told me |; that ac a p t a i n in golf shouldcorrespond and work d irect lywithithe coach. But the wayhe said it made me think thatthe coach wasn ' t taking an yadvice. When I posed thisquestion to the other co -captain of the golf team, Rick" P e " Seus, h e said s imply,"Nothing as far as golf."The second qu est ion I askedwas: As a captain, do you feelany more p ressu re on you toperform better than the othert e a n j memb er s ?

I asked them?howthey would rate their coachesa s f a r a s ' teaching and ins t r u c t i n g g o . Rick Seustold me tha t a coach in golf isnothing more than a supervisor a n d . Br u ce added thatDario i s an average ass i s tan tcoach but that he has no effecton t h e o l d e r m e m b e r sbecause of the fact that theyknow him too well. (Being am e m b e r of the golf t e a m, thisis very easy to see) . ' BuzzBrandon tola m e tha t h iscoaches a r e excellent a n dhelp th e entire team verywell. H e added that both th eCooks were involved in somefacet of pro ball. |The la s t question I askedthem w a s what they thoughtof their individual teams a sfar a s being successful thisvear. Rick and Bruce told m ethat were proud of their teamand that they were probablyone of the best Mercyhurst' earns this year . Bruce ad ded, though, that no teamcomp ares to the tennis t eam.Buzz h a d a little different-tory to tel l me.
