It appears that the calendarissue has finally been settled for(his year. *On January 23, the divisionchairpersons met with Dr. JohnMillar,: dean of the college andvice president of academicservices, and recommended thatthere be no change in the presentacademic calendar.., "We determined that we wouldgain something more by keepingthe calendar the same," saidMillar. "The majority of thestudents likev* the presentcalendar."Millar said that the m ajority ofthe J*Mercyhurst communityshowed support for intersession."The 4-3-3 calendar plan was aiworkable option, but we felt (hat(he college could gain more fronthe present calendar." ^The division chairpersons hadbeen asked to consider a proposalfor an academic calendar changeto a 4-3-3 system.? Under this

proposal, intersession would be.eliminated and fall term would beextended to approximately 13weeks. ?The decisions to ! retain thepresent calendar has been forwarded to College PresidentShane, the College Senate, and(he "Mercyhurst * StudentGovernment. They in turn willmake their recommendations toi he president and the Board ofTrustees. ?Shane, noting that the agendafor the Board of Trustees wasfull, said (hat he could not forseeany action by (he board.fl "Iw would not differ with therecommendation of the divisionchairpersons and Dr. Miliar ,"Shane said. *Asked if the issu e, of thecalendar would be brought upagain*in the future, Millar saidthat he does not see another callfor a change for at least fiveyears.

by SueFussWith the goal of serving as a two-way system of communication between Mercyhurst and business, industry and related agencies, theCooperative Education Advisory Committee has been formed.Representatives from business, industry, faculty and administration, and the Mercyhurst Student Government met for a luncheon meeting last Tuesday to organize and provide direction for further meetings. J *"Cooperative education is by far the most respected form of workexperience today," said Tom Thompson, director of Co-op at Mercyhurst.^ I 4Thompson spoke before ten representatives from various Erie industries and businesses. Commenting on their presence, MiriamMashank, director of educational development, said, "I'm glad you'rehere today; it's very supportive for the Erie business community to berepresented here.''Bob Neumaier, innkeeper of Holiday Inn downtown, was selected toserve as chairperson for the first year.

They include Vicki Martinago, Alda Walker, andJim Tarsovitch. 5 \'jThe committee will meet again in April to discuss recruiting, recommend changes in curriculum, and evaluate and suggest ways for improving the co-op program. - -: * s

Future For Private Colleges Shaky.;Editor's Note: The following is a rewritten version ofan article that appeared in the January 15 issue of"Time" Magazine. It is the first of a three part seriesconcerning private colleges in financial trouble.It might nave been a scene from the 1960's. Statepolice were called out to stop violence as angry students refused to leave the premises. But unlike theprotesters of the Viet Nam days, the demonstratorswho struck at tiny Windham College in Putney, Vt.,were battling to keep their school open, not to close itdown. s % \ ;They failed. After a long period of financial scrambling, the 27-year old school was $6 million in debt andunable to pay salaries or even heating bills.Enrollment had dropped from 1,000 to 260. FinancialVice President Herbert Flaig lamented, "We have losta battle, and the fall has not been easy." 1Windham's fall is not an isolated cas e. Ten collegesshut their doors hi 1978, bringing the ten-year total to129. A Carnegie study predicts that as many as 300 institutions will vanish in the 1980's. Some expect manymore to lose their present Identity through mergers ordrastic cutbacks in course offerings. "One way oranother," says Darthmouth President John G.Kemeny, "if present trends continue, about half ofthem are going to go out of business." - ;**The average yearly private-college tuition is now$2,970 (not including room and board), compared topublic-college tuition of $600/ There is pressure on theprivate schools to continue raising fe es, since tuitionpays for less than half of the cost: gifts, endowmentsand grants make up the difference. At Harvard,tuition, room and board charges have risen this year to$7,500. The other "top five" include: Bennington.$7540; Yale, 17.500; Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, $7440; and Sarah Law rence, 17,440.

"It's very hard to sell at a fair price what's beingsold down the street for 25% of cost." says Peter Ar-macost, president of Florida's Eckerd College. AddsStanford President Richard Lyman: "At some point,and I don't know where that point is, it will no longer bea rational decision to attend a private-institution,regardless of the value of it's education." ^Public colleges are a bigger bargain than ever, sincethe gap between public and private student tuition hasgrown from $416 yearly in 1956 to more than $2,000today: Yet, while private colleges are in danger of overpricing themselves, they have not raised tuition feesenough to cover the impact of inflation. ,The University of Chicago,nor example,:chopped10% from its operating budget in 1970 and today,despite rising tuition, allows its faculty to shrinkthrough attrition by*l% to 2% a year. UniversityProvost Gale Johnson say s, "Our costs go up, and ourendowment goes down. It's a vicious crossfire, and Idon't see an end to it." . ^At the big and famous schools, the shocks have beencushioned somewhat by hefty endowments and hordesof faithful alumni. In danger are the small, unselectiveliberal arts schools with tiny endowments and fewresearch grants that depend on tuition for 80% or moreof their revenue. But that support is going fast. IWith the great post-war baby boom fading out, thenumber of 18-year-olds in the U.S. is about to declinesharply. The number should peak around 4.3 millionthis year, then drop annually to a total of 25% by 1992.Notes Harvard President Derek Bok, "The decline willprovide much more serious pressure on closings in thenext generation." . Predictably, private colleges ar e trying to increaseendowments ana other non-tuition income. Almost allof the larger schools seem to be planning or conducting

the biggest fund drives in their history. :Other institutions are facing powerful inflationarypressures. Stanford's annual energy bill rose in threeyears by over $2 minion and similar increases have hitthe University of Southern California, which is one ofLos Angeles' top ten electric consumers. At Illinois'Northwestern, many buildings are left unheated onevenings and weekends in midwinter."Well issue sweaters," said Vice President LeeEllis, adding "No. We can't afford s wea ters. ' We'llissue a memo telling people to wear sweaters."Like industry, the private colleges complain aboutthe cost of compliance with government regulations af-fecting hiring, facilities for the handicapped, and otherareas. Most colleges that at one time had no lawyer onthe staff, now employ two or three to keep up withvarious legal aspects of running a college. -According to Notre Darned President, the Rev.Theodore M. Hesburgh, "Every time the FederalGovernment comes up with a bright idea for a newregulation it helps* run our co sts up through theceiling." Hesburgh, a former chairman of the U.S.Commission on Civil Rights, also criticizes the federalpush toward minority faculty hiring: "There are atfew that we end up bidding against each other torecruit them. It would be far more sensible to start * *by trying to increase the pool of minorities and womanqualifiedfor these jobs."Others agree that the financial pinch threatens thequality of college faculty. Current national studiesshow that studentfaculty ratios have remained fairlyconstant at 15 to 1 for private colleges. But some fearthat new faculty job openings will cause the loss of awhole generation of able faculty members. *Next weeks How did it all happen and;what areprivate colleges doing about it.

Calendar AgreementBig; deal. So it's practically a reality that theacademic calendar is going to remain the same. Whatelse new can this place tell me?The only nice comment I can make concerning thewhole underwhelming issue is that a t least the powersthat be finally reached an agreement on something. Itdidn't involve change - but living in a democracyseldom does. And that's what makes this countrygreat. Unfortunately, lack of change is also whatkeeps a lotof people com plaining.Consider then this overviews of the calendarremaining the same: Close administration anddivision chairpersons - but no cigar.Say the secret word and divide next year's lowenrollment between you.Motivation >

Superman -KryptonicHitby Vicki MartinagoIt may not be "Star Wars", butit's not bad. "Superman" allowsyou to be a child full ofwonderand fantasy. In fact, the movie isa nice change of pace for theviewer. *Chistopher Reeve portrays themild-mannered, shy and bumbling Clark Kent, who transform shimself into Superman in order tofight crime and protect the innocent -J or. "fight for truth,justice and the American Way."Reeve captures the humble andsincere personality ofKent anddevelops Superman as the ail-American hero effectively

enough. At times the script callsfor him to be a little hoakey, butthat's alright - after all, he isSuperman.The movie deals with the storyof the heroic character, from hisinfancy on the planet Krypton tohis adulthood on earth. It's likethe comic books, only the picture s come to life courtesy of finecinematography and specialeffects. |The jfilm's more memorablemoments include the spectacularexplosion of Krypton, the transporting of the child Superman toearth andithe numerous-flights

through space. |These special effects, combined with a superb cast whichinclud es! Marlon Brando asSuperman's Krypton fatherlandGene Hackman tas the archvillain Lex Luther, make for animpressive movie overall.But if |you value jintensecharacter development, a conflicting story-line and [[symbolicmeaning, this movie may con.eacross as a bit trite. "S uperm an"absorbs the audience into itsactionpacked plot with a prin eobjective to entertainAnd that it does.

J I ; %Neither team could pull awayas both traded basket for basketin the first half. But the Hurst didlead at the halfway mark 47-43with the help of two Danny Brownjump shots - one recorded as thebuzzer sounded. S;JBennard and Bill Link got theLakers off to a quick start hittingfive points apiece to give the

Danny Brown

'Hurst their biggest lead jof thegame at 61-53 five minutes intothe second half. r,- \The Boro closed',the ga pmidway through the secondperiod and the score remainedclose the remainder of the gam e.With just over a minute left toplay and the scored tied at 82, theLakers took possession of theball, ran one minute off the clockand called time' out with 24seconds showing;*When the teams returned theywatched as Bennard ran theclock down to five seconds. Hethen made his move to hit the bigbasket as time ran out. jHigh scorers were Bennardwith 17, Link with 15 and Brownwith 14. y |Road Trip fThe Lakers tried to regain theirwinning ways after a tough loss toBuffalo Sta te last week. But theycame up short 91-85 at Pitt and83-60 at Point Park. * mIn the Pitt contest, the Lakersgave a strong first J half performance which';saw the tear, slied at 47.
