Concert ticketsselling wellBy Jennifer Laird

Ticket sales for the Donnie Iris andthe Cruisers concert, scheduled forFeb. 22 at 8 p.m., have been going exceptionally well . We can probably expect a sell-out," said Lisa Costello,director of the Student Union, ticketsales are expected to increase over thenext couple o* weeks due to recentadvertising on local radio station K104.

Pat Callahan, Special Projects Committee chairman, said "Support fromthe community has been great. Ourtotal sales as of Feb. 7 are $1,094.

Sales in the next two weeks will bevery important." Callahan agrees withCostello that there is a goo d chance ofa sell-out.

"Showcase," a weekly entertainment section of the Erie Daily Times,has scheduled an interview with Donnie Iris prior to the concert whichshould also boost ticket sales.

Tickets for the concert can be purchased at the Mercyhurst StudentUnion and Student Government Office,Dahikemper's in the Milicreek Mall,Edinboro University, Gannon University, and Behrend C ollege. Tickets are $5for Mercyhurst students with ID and $8for the general public.

lege to assist the institute in develop

ing a full-fledged HRM university.If the HRM program at the institutegains official recognition, it will be thefirst of its kind in China, a country ofover one billion people, and Mercyhurst's name will be behind it,Wolper said. Dr. Chen Ji-Wen, president of the institute, affirmed the newly established Chinese-Mercyhurstpartnership by honoring Wolper as professor emeritus of the Chinese school.

According to Wolper, both he andhis guest Gary Bukowski, director ofAlumni Relations, were treated asroyalty by the Chinese. "The Chineseare so warm, intelligent and hospitablethat I feel like I've acquired a new family," Woiper commented. "I want to be apart of them and their growth whenthey discover the world."

"Even though it 's a communiststate, I didn't feel as if I was constantlybeing watched," Bukowski added."They are a very accomodating, genuine people."

The Mercyhurst duo's "whirlwind"trip has set the foundation for potentialexchange programs between Mercyhurst and two Chinese schools.Through a tentative exchange with theinstitute, Wolper hopes to bring fourChinese teachers to Mercyhurst overthe next two years, placing them in atraining status in key HRM courses. Inreturn, these trainees could teachclasses in Chinese cooking andliterature while at the college.

"We like to get the calendar o ut earlyso schedules can be set up andeveryone knows what to expect," saidDr. Palmer.

There is very little difference between the present academic calendarand next year's. In fact, next fall'sschedule is almost e xactly the same asthis year's.

Dr. Palmer added, "The fall schedule

is not that difficult; it 's the winter andspring schedule that causes the dif--f icult ies. The problem in the spring isthe f loating Easter holiday. Thescheduling is dependent on whenEaster occurs."

The Academic Dean explained thatin developing an academic calendar2,250 contact minutes or 38-40 hoursper trimester is the minimum standardallowed. "This is difficult to accomplish when you're dealing with 10week terms," he said.

Fall classes will begin on Wed.,Sept. 3 and the last day of final examswill be Wed., Dec. 10. Fall Weekend isscheduled for Oct. 10-12.

The winter term starts on Mon., Jan.

"Chinese hospitality industryready to explode," says W olperstory continued from page 1

In a reciprocal gesture, theChinese at the institute haveoffered to house and pay forthe training of any qualified

View of South China

Mercyhurst s t uden t s i n terested in attending theirschool. "They are not at thelevel of sophistication whereour students would benefit asfar as development in the HRMf ield," Wolper admitted, "butif you want to learn about

Chinese culture and cooking.Canton is the best in theworld."

The Chinese have also extended an invitation to anyprofessors at Mercyhurst whowould like to spend a few months as guests at the institute.Wolper himself declined an offer to return to the ins titute forone full year.

B u k o w s k i m e t w i t hrepresenta t i ves o f SouthChina No rmal University regarding a similar proposal thatwould allow an exchange inthe areas of phi losophy,education, English literatureand Chinese history. Contacting Dr. Li Kerning, president

of the university, was a majorobstacle for Bukowski. Advance phone calls and lettersproved futile as contacts atthe university did not speakEnglish. Only after four daysand the help of two interpreters did Bukowski finallymeet with Kerning.

According to Bukowski ,education professor EdwardGallagher and professor oflanguages Dr. Marilyn Jewellw i l l be pursu ing fu r thernegotiations. Bukowski hopesto see an initial faculty exchange between Mercyhurstand the university, followed bya student exchange.

Although Wolper and Ji-Wen also agreed that Chineses tudents shou ld not bebrought to Mercyhurst at thispoint, the Chinese government is willing to sponsortheir students who wish tostudy in the United States,once their own HRM programis fully developed. "Most ofthe students that I met inChina have an intense' desireto come to the United Statesto go to school," Bukowskinoted.

Wolper is convinced thatthe institute's own HRM and

Normal University

Although the institute is only in its second year of operation, it also has its ownstudent-operated restaurantwith profits benefit t ing thecurrent tourism managementprogram. "With their locationand facilities, the institute is

in a position to double itscapacity each year," Wolpers a i d , "ev en t hough t heChinese traditionally considerthemselves a humble and poorinst itute and country."

The depth of this self-effacing humility ingrained inthe Chinese was epitomized inJi-Wen. Although Ji-Wen ispresident of the institute witha Ph.D. in econom ics from Columbia University in the U.S., it

graduate level. The generalmanager of one resort hoteldrove in five hours daily tolisten to Wolper speak.

"They were the most intense and absorbed in dividuals I have ever seen in ac l a s s r o o m , " B u k o w s k i

acknowledged. "They wantedevery question answered. Itwas as if they were suckingknowledge out of us both - allthat they could absorb abouth o w A m e r i c a n s d oeverything."

Since technological growthand modernization have onlyrecently been promoted inChina under the rule of DengXiaoping beginning in 1977,the Chinese feel that theymust move now in order tomake up for a great deal of los tt ime , Bukowski explained."Every student I met had afavorable imp ression of Xiaoping. They want to get right tothe meat of technology."

Noting that the Chineseeducators with whom he metwere a lso very in tense,Bukowski concluded, "Theywant everything to happenright away in regards to theseexchange programs. As anAmerican, I must admit thatwe may move a little slower,just because we want to makesure all the details are naileddown."

Gary Bukowski with South Chinatook Wolper eight days tolearn his host's title at the institute. And this he established only by directly qu estioningJi-Wen.

" H i s o f f i ce was theequivalent of our janitor'scloset," Wolper said of Ji-Wen. In fact, there is no indoorlighting or heating at the institute. This made the size ofWolper's audience at lectures,and their intense concentration on the subject, extremelysurpr is ing; s tudents werehoused in a barren, cementh a l l i n 4 0 d e g r e etemperatures. Yet the Chinese"literally hung on every word Isaid," remarked an incrediblyimpressed Wolper.

He was also pleased to findthat over 70 general, vice anddeputy managers from thelargest hotels in Guangzhouand the surrounding provincewere among his audience,which also included a majorityof students at the post-

State of the Union vs.State of the Campuses

Students frequently don't pay much attention to the nationalevents, especially so mething so routine as the President's Stateof the Union Address. But this year's address is well worth

discussing.The president, supporting the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill,

called for deep cuts in many federal programs. But the one thataffects about 80 percent of this campus is the proposed $2.5billion cut in the Department of Education budget for 1987 -severely slashing student aid and vocational educationprograms.

Once again, that is $2.5 BILLION.These cuts would reduce the number of students receiving

aid nationally to less than 40 percent.Projections are that 800,000 students w ill be dropped from the

Pell grant program . Work study programs would be cut drastically and eligibility requirements for those receiving aid would betoughened.

In that address, the president called his proposed cuts his"agenda for the future" and said that the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill will make "dramatic improvements."

The president also referred to the on-going "renaissance ineducation." He cited the example of the recent rise in SATscores, the greatest increase since 1963.

He also praised the American people for turning aroundeducation by reaching for excellence and reaching back to thebasics.

But in his address, the president missed one of the fundamental necessities of education -- support. Academic support andespecially financial support. The question arises, that if thesedrastic education budget cuts are made, how is education supposed to continue? Without some support from the government,how is this great "a gend a" supposed to take place? From all accounts, the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill will most likely make"dramatic improvements", but will they be favorable? Or willthey destroy the basis of the traditional American educationsystem?

The proposed cuts are called for in the 1987 budget, and thatwill affect some 75 percent of the students currently on thiscampus. The restructuring of the Guaranteed Student Loan program will have some severe consequences at the 'Hurst. TheFinancial Aid Office reports that 756 studen ts, approximately 61percent of this campus, accoun ts for over $1,794,000 taken out

in the form of loans. So, students had be tter pay close atten tionto the course of the bill and its decisions if they rely in any wayon government aid to finance their college education.

It is worth noting that just last week, a federal court declaredthe Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill unconstitutional. A decisionon that matter is currently in the hands of the United StatesSupreme Court.
