According to Communicationsfaculty mem ber Steve Curcio, co-ordinator of the project, Lakerfootball coach Tony DeMeo ap-proached him concerning theidea. .;-"The nine Mercyhurst footballgames, including the September4 scrimmage, will be videotapedand aired on a time-delay basis,said Curcio. Cablevision, the city

of Erie Cable Television Firm,will loan its van and equipment tothe college for the project. BothCablevision and Telemedia, thecounty cable outlet, will broad-cast the games late in the eveningthe day they are played, iSix students will assist Curcio

in production of the telecasts.Curcio will act as director for theproject; sophomore KathyO'Connor, assistant director;freshman Chuck Straub, audioengineer; juniors John Broderickand P at Cannon, and sophomoreMary \Jo A l l e n , c a m e r aoperators; and junior DonnaPeterson, spotter/floor director.Each student is fulfilling a three-credit internship. John Leisser-ing of WLKK radio in Erie hastentatively I agreed to announceIhe games. | L! * i"I'm doing it because I con-sider it part of our educationalexperience here at Mercyhurst,'Vsaid Curcioi of the project.4'Students are getting the oppor-tunity to perform in an environ-ment that we could not otherwiseprovide."

At this point, Curcio said therear e only a few details which mustbe worked out before the projectis finalized. One area which mustbe considered further is thebroadcast; time for three of thefour away games. All othergames will be aired at 11:00 p.m.on Saturday nights, said Curcio.However, the September 11 awaycontest with^Gettysburg, the Oc-tober 2 game at Frostburg State(Maryland), and the October 9away match against GlenvilleState (West*Virginia) will pro-bably be shown shortly after, hestated. The final broadcastschedule is subject to final ap-proval by Cablevision, addedCurcio. ? \The financing of the projectcannot be revealed at this time,said Curcio, because it is not

finalized. All Cablevision equip-ment w ill be used free of chargeand someone from the cable fran-chise will accompany the Mer-cyhurst group at all games to en-sure proper use of the equipment.Costs for the project will be incur-red in gasoline expenses for theCablevision : van and othertransportation and overnighthousing for crew members ataway games."Its going to be a lot of work interms of the preparation but it'sgoing to be beneficial to, obvious-ly, the football effort here at Mer-cyhurst," explained Curcio. "It'salso going to benefit the Com-m u n i c a t i o n s d e p a r t m e n t ,specifically the students who par-ticipate. And probably most im-portant, I think it will thebeneficial to the college."

iEfcttarialGuess Who's NotComing To Dinner?

The recent adm inistrative deci-sion to forego the yearly athleticbanquet in lieu of a seniors onlyathletic J dinner and awardsceremony may solve some pro-blems while creating new ones.In r past years, student par-ticipants in all sports and theircoaches would* convene!at theclose of the academic year for abanquet- and a presentation ofawards. : No matter how well orhow poorly one played the sportdidn't matter; everyone earned acertificate or possibly * an honorb e a r i n g so m e j g r e a t e rsignificance. Traditionally, thoseathletes who have been active incampus spo rts for one, two, threeor four years, received a plaque,mug, jacket, or watch respective-ly. Other awards include {theoutstanding player in each sportand the Dean Garvey award.The number of student athletesat Mercyhurst has snowballedsince the banquet was initiated,and so has the cost Admittedly,$5,000 to feed and honor 300athletes is steep. Another pro-blem foreseen by the administra-

tion is the amount of time such a^ large affair would require. Torremedy this, the decision wasmade by the administration and2 agreed upon by all coaches1.toJhold only a senior athletic ban-Iquet at which 30 studentstyouldbe in attendance.: >: *ij It seems to a large number of-student athletes on campus thatthis solution is not acceptable.Although the students can sym-\ patize .4 with. the. Jhiglu cost ofmoney and.'fbmesrthey *belieVe*that a better compromise could*be reached. Ori6 valid suggestion4 calls for & i get-together apartI from the senior banquet where all| athletes could simply be together

and be recognized for their con-tribution to Mercyhurst athletics.What is important to the athletesis not the grandeur of the banquetbut the occasion itself - the occa-sion} to assemble within an at-mosphere apart from *the prac-tice field and be rewarded forathletic efforts. 1 - | J |The cost for such a get-togethercould be kept minimal. Someathletes suggested -cheese andcrackers as a simple menu, to bea c c o m p a n i e d b y c o a c h ' sr e m a r k s , an d a n a w a r dpresentation. }Another suggestion w ould be topoll the athletes in an effort tolearn whether or not'they wouldeach pay approximately $4 for.their dinners. Even in these timesof prevalent thriftness in moneymatters, it seems as though theathletes would not find this sumdifficult to pay. \Awards should not be sacrific-ed under! th e Ipresent; cir-cumstances, Often, the cer-tificate or jacket provides a cons-tant^ degree of inc entive. forathletes, keeping spirits high dur-ing their grueling sport season.As many? f r eshmen enterathletics at y Mercyhurst, up-perclassmen relate to them theanticipation- and excitement -generated by thej year-endathletic* banquet.

Hurst To Adopt T %New Phone SystemBy Theresa SandersWhen the Mercyhurst community returns next fall, a newcommunications system will be operating on campus. Th esystem, Direct Inward Dialing (DID), will make it possibleto dial various college offices directly.According to Presidential Assistant John Nesbit, the pre-sent Mercyhurst phone syfetem is "of dark ages vintage"Currently, al l calls coming to the college are first channeledthrough a central switchboard ; jsince there are a limitednumbe r of phone lines available and equipment brea ks downfrequently, this leads to inefficiency and confusion.Th e new system will allow calls to bypass the switchboardsaid Nesbit. By dialing 825-4, a caller wul automatically con-nect with the Mercyhurst cam pus; the last three digits dialedwill determine which office is reached. There will be onelisting availabl e for miscellaneous calls and for people uncer-tain about which office to contact. v&The DID system will not crea te any additional costs for thecollge, explained Nesbit. Merc yhurst now pays $40,000 everyyea r simply in equipment costs, and pays over $20,000 in switchboard operator salaries. By signing the DID contract inFebruary, Mercyhurst avoided a 24 percent in crease in leasing costs, thus making th e system well within the budgealloted for phone expenditure s. According to Nesbit, an added adva ntag e of DID is that it will free switchboard op eratorsfor clerical and computer work.^Nesbit predicts that the only problem with the system wilbe in adjusting to the advanced technology. To combat thisproblem, training sessions will be held for the college staffafter DID's installation in August. Faculty will have the opportunity to become!acquainted with th e equipment soonafter that. ? f ? - I *1 Eventually, Nesbit said he hopes to expand th e phone

system to include the Sesler and Townhouse buildings. Alsoin th e planning stages is a computer hook-up with Mercyhurst Prep based on the phone cables, giving studentsthere access to Mercyhurst's computer center. I y %\ In summ ary, says Nesbit, DID will give Mercyhurst a communication system for the 80's. "We'll have an Eldorado in-stead of a '57 Chevy,'] he quips.
