"I'm overjoyed," Songer said."I was confident throughout that1 would win."

"Songer revealed his plans forthe new government, saying thatcommittees will remain basicallythe same as they were this year.However, he said, "1 would liketo reinact the special projectscommittee;to see if we can't getanother bigt project for nextyear."

On April-29, the newly-electedofficers will take over, withSonger set to replace KathyO'Conn or, acting MSG president.O'Connor was appointed to theposition after the resignation ofPresident Dave Robinson onMarch23 for "personal reasons."

"This year's officers have beenvery good about familiarizing the

In-coming officers about the jobs2

and what is required," Songersaid. I

tion of Vice President will bejunior English-Psychology majorSue Bennett. Bennett, with* 181ballots, beat out running matesPat Callahan with 129 votes, PatReed with 104 and Matt Whelanwith 92.

"I feel really excited," Bennettcommented. "I think it's going tobe a goodyear."

Serving as this year's MSGSecretary, Bennett said, will be abonus for taking over the Vice-Presidential role. "Being anof-ficer this year has given me ideasabout what needs to be improvedand changed.

"Definitely, a change is neededin communications between theStudent Government and the stu-dent body," shecited.-In remedyof this situation the new VicePresident said fcshe hopes toestablish an MSG Newsletter andalso to promote a lot more per-sonal contact between studentsand MSG members.

"The neat thing about being aVice-President is that you can dowhatever you want to do with theposition, along with being aSenator," she said.Working directly with Bennett,and*; taking over jher role asSecretarywill be junior dance ma-jor Heather Powers.

"I'm really looking forward tonext year," she said. One changethe new Secretary would like tosee implementedis. an improvedmeeting structure.

to get people more activelyinvolved.

Another new face in theofficercorps' will jbe junior accountingmajor Sharon Murphy, whose 253votes won out over ChristieSmith's 229. --i

"I knew it would be reallyclose," Murphy said. "I'm ex-cited and looking forward to nextyear because I think it has a lot ofpotential with the officers elected.

Murphy said that she is stepp-ing into a well-organized systemalready set up by her predecessor,Sheila Delaney. "Sheila did a lotof revamping and modernizing,"she said, and this will ease thetransition.

Rounding out the Executive

Council will be SAC ChairpersonJean M oniewski. A junior historymajor, Moniewski defeated can-didate Scott Kelly, 274 to 230votes. *

"I feel pretty proud that thestudents had enough confidenceto vote me in," she said. " I reallythink that 1 can do a good job."

Mn order to do this, she em-phasized, there is a need for stu-dent involvement. "I want to dothe best for]the students," shesaid. "I need students' input asmuch as possible." .>

Moniewski, who served as SACPublic Relations Director thisyear and co-chairperson in1981-82, says her past involve-ment is "a plus."

- "I know what weaknessehad this year and*I'11 -eliminthose," she explained. "I thowe had a rough year but I win the position to chaanything. Now I am in the tion to make changes."

Putting together a strong board, Moniewski said, is a mgoal. Also in the way of newtivities, the new chairpersonshe would like to have evenaddition to formals at RainbGardens. "The money is theshe commented. |

Barrons Profiles Rates

Mercyhurst As CompetitiveBy NaomiRomanchok ^_According to the 14th Editionof Barrons Profiles of AmericanColleges, to be publishedthissummer, Mercyhurst Collegehas improved its rating. Accor-ding to Andrew Roth, directorof admissions, "MercyhurstCollege now has a 'com petitive'rating as opposed tothe, 'lesscompetitive9 rating It held forsixor seven years.9*

Roth explains how he thinksthis Improvement came about," M e r c y h u r s t w a s n ' t a s(academica l ly) se lec t ive ,especially in the late'70's. Thathas changed in the past three or

four years with improvementssuch as Val-Sal Scholarships, theEgan Scholars program, andmore sophisticated! intenserecruiting." \ ;

To earn a "competitive"rating, the 'Hurst had to meetcertain academic standards. Itneeded an average SAT score of900; here the mean SATIs 902.Average class rank needed to bewithin the top50 percentile; hereit is within the top 30 percentile.The average ACT score needs tobe 18; here the mean ACT scoreis 21. Mercyhurst will not accepta student with a high schoolG.P.A. of less than 2.0. Last

re-ap-

year Mercyhurst Collegejected 18 percent oftheirjplicants. Roth plans to hold thatnumber around15 percent.

Roth cites that the rating isbased on the "difficulty in get-ting admitted1 into that par-ticular college." The Admis-sions Office plans to take advan-tage of the higher rating forrecruiting purposes. "This willbe a real help tous," continuedRoth, "in the past we've lostsome good students." Rothhopes that in the next five yearsthe collegewill eventually earn a"very competitive" rating.

The Fat Man Box Put MeOn The Five Year Plan

By MikeSchellhammerOK, it's 1:30 in the morning.

I've got to get up at six and godown to Gannon to work out. It 'salready the third week of a tenweek term and 1 haven't evencracked one of my seven booksfor this term. "Man, I shouldreally get some sleep." I think tomyself. So . I get up to switch offMTV on my new 19 inch colortelevision set, (which does not cutoff two inches from both sides ofthe picture). But wait - here comesHuey Lewis and The News singing"Heart and Soul!" Since I've on-ly seen this video 1,293 times thismonth, I wait to watch it.Afterall, how much difference couldfour minutes make?

Well, after Huey and the boyswere done, The J. Geils Bandcame on, and then RodStewart,|and then ... well, next thing I

know it's 2:14 and my chances ofgetting up at six are about thesame as my odds at getting a 4.0 inInorganic Chemistry.

This brings me to the point ofthis article: Cable TV inyourapartment can destroy your gradepoint average. There was neverany question about cable in myapartment - we had to have it. Wealso had to have HBO, Showtime,MTV with a stereo hookup, andthe most destructive article in thehouse - a channel control box witha cord that reached all the way tothe couch. We dubbed that vilething "The Fat Man Box"because you get fat lying on thecouch changing channels at yourleisure. I

Well, the fat man box and Itook to each other like beer andpretzels. Soon, I was addicted tocable TV. I parked on the couch

for hours at a time with that box.I did homework with it. I typedpapers with one hand on the boxand one on the typewriter. "All

you do is watch that thing," wasall my roommates said to me, or"Why don't you marry thatbox?" I didn't care - the onlyroommates I wanted were MarthaQuinn, Alan Hunter and J.J.Jackson.

My grade point average drop-ped. Maybeplummet ted is a bet-ter term. Only recently have Irealized that my graduation datehas been slightly postponed tosometime in 1985. But I've learn-ed by lesson, now I budget mytime to put school first. I have toclose now, "Death Ship" is com-ing on HBO and I don't want tomiss it. I should get to sleep by4:30 a.m. I

Splash: Take The PlungeBy Laura Ruby

Mermaid: (Mur'mad) 1. an im-aginary sea creature with the headand upper body of beautifulwoman and tail of a fish. Thisdefinition of Mermaid comesfrom Webster's New World Dic-tionary. Although this is a stan-dard and proper definition, insome cases it doesn't apply. Forinstance, in the Buena Vista,WaltDisney Production SPLASH, theword 'imaginary' would have tobe scratched from the definition.

SPLASH stars Tom Hanks,Daryt Hannah, and John Candy.

The film was directed by RonHoward,

The story begins when. eight[year old Alan Bauer (Tom Hanks)takes a vacation with his family.While on a boat ride and terriblyrestless, Alan falls overboard.An d wouldn't* youf know it, hecan't swim. Tension builds as hesinks further and further into thesea. It could have been fatal forlittle Alan if not for the Mermaidwho came to his rescue. Yes, aMermaid! With a kiss she savedhis life. Some 20 years later shereappears ... in search of AlanBauer.

Fo r a "Fairy- ta le"*: film,

SPLASH was quite amusing andentertaining. The mixture ofhe

humor and seriousness fulfilledthe fictional plot. In my opinion,Tom Hanks was the energy in thefilm.*However, Daryl Hannah dida truly excellent job portrayingthe character and inner emotionsof a Mermaid. In a magical way,she brought this fictional seacreature to life on the SilverScreen. J

Although SPLA SH is not a ma-jor impact f ilm, it was a !filmworth making. In a humorousway it makes you wonder if lifereally exists in the darkest cornersof the world. So if you haven't

seen SPLASH, go ahead ... takethe plunge!

Who Did You Vote For? By Chris D orazioMercyhurst Student Govern-

men! elections for this year havecome and gone, and the winnersare being announced. The mostasked question may be, "Wh o didyou vote for?" But has anyoneasked "How did you decide whoyou were going to votefor?"

Since the first day ofclasses thisterm, Mercyhurst students havebeen the targets of each can-didates individual campaigning.Posters, visits to the dorms bycandidates, and speeches. Buthow much effect does campaign-ing really have w hen it comes time:o choose who to vote for?

The general consensus aroundcampus was summed! best bysenior Carol Thompson who com-mented, "I think everyone knewright away at least one person theywere going to vote for as soon as

the candidates were announced.Those anyone weren't sure aboutmust have relied oncampaign-ing." She added, ''Well, eithercampaigning or word of mouth."

Another factor that seemed toplay a part in the decision makingwas the candidate's alreadyestablished reputation on campus.Let's face it, Mercyhurstis a smallcampus , where everyone knows orat least has heard of everyone else.And everyone has some sort ofreputation.

One sophomore commentedthat they had intended on votingfor a particular candidate untilone of their friends said that theyhad heard a certain piece of infor-mation about this person. Thesame sophomore admitted that hewas not sure if this informationwas true, but it did have an effecton who thev voted for.

One last factor that had an ef-fect on the outcome of the elec-tions was the open forum that washeld in Baldwin Hall the Sundaybefore elections. The general at-titude about the forum bypeoplewho attended it was that it did in-flue nee them to some degree orwho they cast their votes for.Senior Chris Carosacommentecthat it showed everyonethere hovsthe candidates could handlethemselves. " There were some in-teresting questions asked attheforum, and it was interesting tcsee how the candidatespresenteethemselves to the questions,''Carosa added.

So it would appear that-cam-paigning does influence thevoter*at Mercyhurst. Butfuture can-didates should be aware that it\inot the only factort hat goes intcthe student's decision makingReputation, word of mouth, ancthe general attitude of the can-didate all play a part in thevoter'$final decision.

The Women's team, underHead Coach Jack Beck, sweptWVU in three races. The'Hurstwomen posted wins in the Noviceeight, Varsity eight, and Varsityfour events.

The Varsity four proved to bethe biggest surprise, when theyrowed against supposedly WestVirginia's best women's boat andbeat them by 20 seconds," statedCoach Beck. All the women didan outstanding job and I attributethat to all their work on the row-ing tanks ... the result wouldn't

have been as positive.withoutthem," Beck added.

The ?Novice eight won by 12

seconds, the Varsity eight finished15 seconds ahead, and the JVeight beat WVU by seven secondsin their race.

The Me n's teams coached byAlBeiovarac and Joe Lennon earnedtwo wins by the Novice four andeight boats, while they droppedthe two varsity clashes.

"We had a lot going againstuswith first time on the water in twoweeks (since the spring Floridat r i p ) , " commented-CoachBeiovarac. The Varsity eight hadthe biggest challenge Mercyhurstentered the lightweight boat(average man is 5'10", 153 lbs.)a g a i n s t We s t Vi r g i n i a ' s

heavyweights (average man is6 ' 1 " , 175 lbs.)."They clung ontoWest Virginia, but just couldn't

hold on. They only lost by sixseconds-due to the tough com peti-tion and lack of water time,"

Beiovarac stated.

e.VolnEvery Spring the same problem

occurs concerning the athleticdepartment. Where do we play?

This question is asked by theWomen's Softball team and theparticipants of the intramuralsoftball program.

As usual, 1984will not be an ex-ception to the rule. Once again,Janet Price and Dave Chericomust go on witch (or which,depending on how you look at it)hunt to find a field that isavailable.

This year the problem has beensolved, again temporarily.

The Women's Softball team,under the direction of Coach JimMartin, will play their HOMEgames on fields away from cam-pus. The team will utilize AsburyField and Linden Field, both ofwhich are located West of Pennin-sula Drive. (Directions came befound in a related story).

This makes the team play forthe second season in a 'rowwithout a home field advantage;pretty sad for a DivisionII Col-legiate program.

As for intramurals, the guessesas to where we're/playing have

been narrowed to a choice or two.For any of you seniors orjuniors who remember the greatseason in the Spring off 1982,

don't plan on using the Multi-purpose field.

Cherico, who is director of theintramural program, says that theoutfield portion of the baseballfield will be the site of competi-tion once again. At least it's oncampus.

The question which many peopie continue to ask me is; What iswrong- with our Multi-purposefield? h

Well, first things first. Weshould rename the field. Howabout "The Mercyhurst SoccerF i e l d ? " I t w o u l d n ' t b emisleading. >
