Dr. Shane Announces:

T U I T l O N G O U P 1 6 5Dear Students:In the last issue of The Merciad, I pointed out theefforts being made by the administration and th ebudget an d finance committee of th e Board ofTrustees to present a budget proposal to the entireboard which would achieve two bas ic goals : 1) tokeep th e tuition incr ease a s low >as i s fiscally an dhumanly possible, and 2) * to present a balancedbudget, wh ich is a financial impera tive, vI a m pleased to announce a t this time that th eBoard of Trustees has approved the recommendationthat tuition b e increased only 8 per cent next year.Thus, the tuition will increase by $165 a year, from

$2,035 to $2,200. In addition, there will b e a $30 increa se in the room rate, but ho increase in the boardrate. Therefore, resident students will have a noverall increa se of only 6 per cent in tuition, room andboard, W e have been able to keep the increase below thato f m o s t private college s, and considerably below the

inflation rate, by examining an d re-examining th ebudget over a n d over and by pruning all expend itureswhich were not essential to quality programm ing.I think special praise is due the midget and financecommittee, Its chairperson, J. Robert Baldwin and

its student and faculty representatives for their ef-rorts in keeping the tuition increase as low as po ssiblewhile maintaining the basic financial stability of th eto closing I would point out that the college h a sadded $76,(Joo in student aid for next year, bringingth e total student ai d from th e general operatingS W i i S i " ! ^ . { h a n a. < * r t of a million dollars!Thei Middle States evaluation team cited Mercyhurstta r being exceptionally generous In this comm itmentto student aid.

\ The Mercyhurst College Senate has given Its approval to l a proposal by the; Academ ic PoliciesComm ittee w hich will establish a voluntary systemof academ ic minors at the college.Under the new plan, which was approved at? th eSenate's April 30th meeting, students will now be ableto take a minor concentration in any field outsidetheir major. Com pletion of a minor program will b ecertified on the participating studenrs itranscriptupon gradua tioaAccording to Dr. Robert Cisek, of the AcademicPolicies * Committee, participation in a minorprogram offers students a number of advantages;1) It provides additional curriculum'structure fo rthose who desire it. 2) Training and certification Inmore than one field may enhance employablity, 3)Students wlll ibe able to pursue areas of interestwhich are outside their major. W 3Dr. Cisek stressed that th e minor program is acompletely optional onestudents are in no way

required to take a minor concentration."He did notethat a minor concentration or combination of minorscannot b e substitued for a major.When questioned as t o w h o would administrate theminor programs. D r. Cisek responded that th eprograms would be the responsibility of the variousdepartment h eads. The department heads will drawu p the requirements for th e minors in their fields, buti n n o case w ill the number of minor courses requireexceed the eight courses stipulated In the AcademicPolicies Com mittee proposal.Dr. C isek noted that the idea of an academ ic m inoris n ot a new o n e : in the past it has been possible for astudent, working closely with their academic ad visor, to develop a minor program. What the newminor program accomplishes is a visible structure tothe minor, which will be noted on the transcript andwill indicate a definite level of competence in theminor field.

Editorial Staff Opinion

T U I T I O NThe adm inistration i s to be commendedfor it s efforts to be as open a s possible thisyear in disseminating financial information.The Merciad, as wel l as other col legegroups, have been g iven more pertinentfinancial information, this year, than in an yother.f | JHowever, th e truth often hurts a n d such isthe case with the disclosure of the tuitionincrease. The M erciad takes issue with thestatement by the administration ^(page 1)that they are "pleased'' to annouce "only"an d 8 per cent increase . T h e use of th e word"only" shows a great insensi tiv i ty to thefiscal position of most Mercyhurst students,for a lmost a l l students who drop out ofMercyhurst do so because of f inancia lproblems. ; / |,'During the past two weeks, 38 facultymembers and 705 students peti t ioned theadministration a n d the Board of Trustees toseriously reconsider before raising thetuition. Obviously, their concerns fell ondeaf ears. Remem ber, there i s a di fferencebetween hearing a n d l istening. | | 'One week ago, this editor spoke to one ofthe College's vice-presidents a n d asked himif the rumored $12500 increase was accurate . He repl ied 'That's outrageous!I"He definitely stated that that*figure w a smuch too high. The Merciad wonders i fthere i s a word in the Engl ish language todescribe a $165.00 increase . < fW e r e a l i z e t h a t d u e t o Inflation,' A t u i t i o n "increase was inevitable, but a $165.00 increase represents overki l l! It i s imp erativeto keep a balanced budget, but while balancing that budget, the administrationshould consider the students. It is theopinion of The Merciad that the administration and Board of Trustees gavel ip-service to considering the students, butin real i ty, assumed a , "Take i t or leave it "atti tude. (After a l l , the tui tion has-beenraised in other years and the students havereturned!!) [The increased, $75,000 commitment tofinancial a id i s a good one but what aboutthe middle-come student? who usually isineligible fo r such aid? iIf a !$i65.oo tuition hike is the jmost

"humanly a n d fiscally possible" move, TheMerciad not only questions the priorities,but the sensitivity of that group who are"pleased" to announce such a s tep!

Dear Ed itor:Wel l again the mighty hierarchy has [picked theResident Advisers (R.A.) for next year. And again,true to sui t , the 'comm ittee' has m ade this arbi trarydecision without concern for need or competency.What is important, of course is that the people arebacked by one of the present K.A.s$or even Sr.Phyllis. S o instead Of the R.A, candidates working onqualifications for theJ o b , they are busy paying lipservice to the presentR.A. ' s . 'Now this i s not easy to say that the candidatespicked fo r next year a r e not competent, or in need butI know of at least two g ir ls who have a greater needand are at least as competent. Their only problemwas they were not one of the present R.A.'s "buddies".A year a g o a student had to leave school because he

didn't get t h e R . A . job. He c learly h a d a grea ter needthan a few of the R.A.'s chosen a n d w a s considered b ythe students to be m o re co mp etent A awyears agothere was no committee to pick the R.A.'s , but thepeople in charge cho se the students who had th e needa n d were good with studen ts, They were good R.A.'sin those days. Now, there are group interviews fort h e jo b , a n d more competi tion and p lastic sm i les thanin a beauty pageant, iPossibly, Sr . Phyl l i s forgets that R.A. stands forResident advisor, not resident disciplinarian. TheR. A. w h o carries the big stick ii not a lways the bestIt' s the o n e w h o gets a long with the students and cani a l k t o t h e m . 1 JU won't change unti l the students do somethingabout i t .

The signs of death are overwhelming but wecontinue to Ignore them. The pathetic cries lor helpremain unanswered. Invitations hang overlooked bythe hundreds who pa ss them dai ly, leaving the fewspecia l ized people to struggle a lone. W hat Is the useof struggling if no one Is there to support you? Whyuse up a l l your wi llpower, ta lent and swea t when noo n e cares? Plea se, don't read any further un less yousleep wel l at night or unless you have a c lear conscience. For, you see , we are the carriers of thisdisease, passing it from friend to friend, content toremain in ignorant bliss. W e should a l l work toget herto curb it b u t , so far , i t has only worsened.\ For the pas t four years, the theatre departmenth a s been, struggling alone with the overwhelmingdisease of apathy. No one knows when or where It Isgoing to hit b u t eventually Itca tches u p with y o u . Th esickening part is that it Is contagious. N o o n e wants toget involved. It is ridiculous. You'd!think thatpainting a set, passing out flyers, answering phones,or even acting , i s the same as witnessing a cr i me I Noo n e wants to get involved.& The .importance of a col lege theatre has beenoverlooked, ignored and pooh-poohed, W h o needs it?I can't actl What am I going to get out of it? I didn'tunderstand the (day? These a re all typical questionsa n d answers of apathetic^! people. It is these peoplewho pass the * disease to other college Students,disrupting their personal grow th.There should be two reasons for attending collegefirst, to attain a better education for higher payingjobs and secondly, to mature into a well roundedindividual. Am azingly enough, there are number ofeducated people in high positions who are as l imitedas horses with blinders. This is a o n e way streettobeavoided. You are an incomplete individual if, aftercol lege, you have not grown cultural ly as wel l asintellectually. The college theatre provides one wayof avoiding this Imbalance.Getting involved In the theatre doesn't necessarilymean acting . There are a num ber of jobs to be donewhich w i ll n o t only broaden your horizons, b u t at thosam e time, becom e enjoyable . Just coming to see aproduction is Important f o r , what Is a theatre withoutan audience? In fact, the audience is the easiest partof th e theatre production Sitting In a velvet seat, safeand secure,;watching tragedies, comedies or evena m elodrama in front of our eyes, m ay be the mostthrilling experience> Imaginable . Shivers sipping.own your spine at*every speech, tears within theblink of your e ye or a chuckle escaping with amazingregularity, a r e just a few of the g ifts given/roo to thoaudience with each production.The theatre has something for everyone. Fo r thea r t major, th e se t design should be Intriguing. For theperfectionist, there is a l w a ys so meflaw.The Englishmajor should have a heyday with the task of findingthe play's meaning then telling It to the Art major,w h o has been watching the set. T he speech therapistshould enjoy th e dialogue a n d scrupulously watch theactors pronunciations. The Freudian slips of thecharacters should /Interest the Psychology major.The Law Enforcement Major can watch formisdeamors whi le the Pol i t ica l Science majorssearch for topics of controversy, For the interestedperson there is always something and just imagine,al l this goes o n In th e audience alone.It will take a long time to cure this disease, Afterall , It took four years to create apathy, it should takea few to destroy it . On e positive step that ca n b e takeni s t o g o t o t h e M a y production of H o t L Baltimore andeqjoy being a n audience. Give the ac tors, your fellowstudents, support. Make their months of practiceworth something. Not only would they benefit fromyour support but, y o u will be taking a n excellent stepin your cultural growth.

PHere is a brief look at the1975 squad. John Voikos No. 1singles and doubles. s^5** John is a 20 year old Juniorfrom Pawtucket, R.I. in hissecond year' at the" Mercyhurst. He is a flashing playercapable of producing greatwins on a given day. With afew breaks he could be theNational Singles I Championfor 1975.Bill Byron No 2 singles andNo. 1 Doubles iBill is this year's Captainwho not only plays a powerfulgame of tennis but is adedicated student who spendsmany nights alone with histypewriter. Bill, a senior fromPhoenix, Arizona has been amajor reason tor the Lakerssuccess of the p ast two years.Ricky Kobleur No. 3 singlesNo. 2 doubles Ricky is a senior and 3rd

year veteran on the I teamfrom Southern Pines, NorthCarolina. His ground strokesare probably the best on theteam and those together withhis winning attitud e will makehim tough to] beat wheneverhe steps on the court. , r fBarry Barth No. 4 singles,No. 2 doubles.Barry, who uses his giantheight to produce a can-nonball serve, is a sophomoreoutof Youngstown, Ohio. Lastyear- after coming to theLakers in January he teamedwith Jimmy Hay to reach the4th round of the NationalDoubles. |This year.|paired withRickey Kobleur he could evensurpass that achievement.Rich Birmingham No. 5singles$ As for myself I'm a Sophomore from Newton, Mass.My game consists of steadyunorthodox |baseline ground-strokes which I hope turn myopponent into a vegetable bythe end of the match.

T O R N A D O E S r D e b u t^Marietta^Ohio was itnesettingnast^>aturday fortheMid-America Regatta and thecompetitive debut of theMercyhurst Women's Crewclub ("White Tornadoes").Unveiled April 26 at theMercyhurst Regatta, theTornadoes lack of practic e onthe- water, made a fineshowing, an impressive startfor Busch Shimpeno'swomen's crew. The women'srace plus a gallant effort bythe * men's J.V. |( munchkin)boat to catch a powerfulMarietta crew highlighted theday for the *Hurst.The Tornadoes originallyfinished third in the women'srace, but an infraction by theMarietta women followed bya Grand Valley ^protestcaused the race to be re-run.So, later that afternoon, theTornadoes lost to the Monsters from Purdue, the Giantsfrom Notre Dame, and theGorillas from Grand Valley.S u r p r i s i n g l y e n o u g h ,although these three schoolshave been rowing at least ayear longer than the 'Hurstwomen, the Tornadoes hadthe best start and theyfinished only 20 secondsbehind. Purdue's winningboat.The Tornadoes werestroked, by Eileen (S.T.P.)Wiesner, a 4.0 veteran fromBusch Shimpeno's course increw. "Jonr' (Gunga Din)Stevenson rowed in the bowseat, although for someunknown reason the programlisted her as coxswain. Sally(Fast) Gorndt rowed the 2ndseat in the boat, mainlybecause she finally passed

Busch .^Shimpeno's crewcourse on . the third timearound. Terry (Stork) Walshrowed in 3rd seat, or shouldwe say, the runners supposedto hold 3rd seat. Judy (Jinx)Mahoney, ;*! another crewveteran rowed in 4th seatalthough 13 seemed to be herlucky number. Katie (Turtle)McCaffrey rowed in the 5thseat, a good place to gofishing for crabs.! Sue (DC)Viner occupied the 6th seatand finally proved she had thebest endurance in the boat byresting only twice during therace. Rosemary (Winnebago)Buseck rowed m 7th seat andshe is so exciting that nothingcan be said about her except"thanks , for jthe transportation." Finally, coxswain (Poindester) Sicapraised the Tornadoes forreaching the finish linewithout a casualty.The second Mercyhurstwomen's boat failed to seeaction because Notre Damepulled out of a race it wassupposed to row.[ The Women'scan be proud oflast* Saturday,because of their ^ ^ ^ ^performance, but because allthe members stuck with thecrew* program even thoughwater time was minimal,hassles were, abundant, .andthe men's crew w ere priority.Pride seems to be thedominate factor in thewomen's attempt *to berecognized." If Roger Perrylooked at women athletesthrough sober eyes thenmaybe he could take a littlepride inhis writing.

Last week I made a comment about the gi rls' Softballteam using the baseball field.It was related to me that themen's team had to play theirhome game with Edinborosomewhere else. ^SAfter looking into thisfurther, I found that the m en'sgame was originallyscheduled at the Scots' fieldanyway. We then would dothem a favor by playing ither e! (theirs was underwater). But after realizingour girls'* varsity softballteam has a game, we had tocancel it. | | |I guess I'm las guilty asanybody else but I thoughtthis was a joke. But i t's not!The girls' varsity teams haveas much right as the men's,

after all the men have onlybeen here a couple of yearsanyway!,; i ISPORTS SHORTS:The golf team upped itsrecord to-12-6 with two winsand a*, loss ithis week. KimKupineski and Rick Sewswere low with 74's. The rest ofthe team had 80's.
