Carolyn Ends Year Tenure

By Gary Dudenhoefer The end of the current school

year also marks the end of the fruitful tenure of Sr. Carolyn Herrmann as President of Mercyhurst College. Sr. Carolyn has emerged as the individual to whom I most of the ^credit £for restructuring n Mercyfyurst College must go. Under her guidance the College has changed in both size and spirit. f

Perhaps the words? of Sr. Carolyn best | summarize her career at Mercyhurst. When asked which changeslduring her administration j were the; most significant, she responded with a two-fold answer. "I believe that the greatest notable change was the liberalization of the curriculum. A few years ago the Middle States Evaluation snowed us clearly where we were. This evaluation provided us with a mandate for change. The result of this challange was the present term,system which provides the student with a unique opportunity for personal development. By not imposing a strict pse t of requirements, I think we have a system which challenges the student to develop for himself or herself a personally J satisfying educational experience." J

"The other change which has had a noticeable impact on Mer-cyhurst was, of course, the switch to coeducation. In the past, we were often thought of ass a finishing school, although we were always academically stronger than a finishing school. As society changed, we naturally began to relax some of the old standards which were no longer relevant, such as the dress code. Coeducation has changed our whole way of living, j Although we still consider character development ^important, our primary emphasis has shitted to the intellectual growth of the indi vidua 1 s tudent.'' *. i

When asked what yvas the most satisfying experience during her tenure, Sr. Carolyn cited her "relationship with the students."3 "I can't;single out any specific experience, but I, havê always enioved talking* with students.

My life has been devoted to young people, first as a teacher and then as president It's not that I have developed a personal friendship with each student, but I have always been available if a student wanted to discuss a problem. Also, the president of a college can allow things to happen.4 If the students expressed interest in an idea, I have always allowed their ideas to become realities." f $

In expressing her philosophy of education, Sr. Carolyn stressed two concepts. "First, I believe strongly that every man educates himself.^ Teachers are the motivaters in the educational process; they provide the op-portunity to learn. j$ Secondly, education is a lifelong process. We are attempting to put this concept I into practice by establishing our College for Older Citizens. Also, I hope that the students learn by watching the faculty^ The process of inquiry never stops; even after the completion o{ a doctoral program one realizes t that there is still much to be learned." |

In a moment of retrospection. Sr. Carolyn stated that "If I had to do it all over agin, I don't think I would have done anything differently.; I think that we've gone in the right direction. Both the decision to change* the curriculum and £ to go coeducational were solid, valid decisions. Also, a college is only*?} as good as its faculty. I've been very fortunate to be a president^ with a dynamic faculty. £*

The best expression of ap-preciation^ Sr. Carolyn came from Dean Garvey.|"Sr. Carolyn represents the best of the old and£ the new: the elegance and dignity $ of the old and the relevance and involvement of the: new. Under £ her guidance the attitude of thejj college has changed to recognize^ the student as an adult. Our emphasis has also shifted from character development to .v in-tellectualization without aban-doning character, f Sr./Carolyn was clearly ?the leader for all seasons ft?which S Mercyhurst^ needed." j

i f Father Guy Patrick

Chaplain Named

In September, 1972 Father Guy Patrick will assume the post of Mercyhurst College Chaplain. He will replace Father John,Hilbert> Diocesan Director of Religious Education, who has been College Chaplain since: 1968. Father Patrick has been a teacher of English and a Counselor at St. Mark Seminary since his or-dination in 1961. In addition to his duties at the Seminary, Father was part-time chaplain at Allegheny College in Meadville in 1968, and has been part-time chaplain at Behrend Campus since 1969. He will continue to serve at Behrend in addition to his duties at Mercyhurst.

Because of his special interest in working with £ people, Father "Pat" has been involved in many activities of the diocese, as well as on the college scene. He has been actively involved in the Diocesan|Cursillo Movement, in giving retreats to many groups, in participating in the vPeace Movement, f and jj in contributing creatively to the Intercampus Ministry group of the diocese.

Mercyhurst ̂ welcomes Father Pat and wishes him well.

On * Thursday May 11th, students were informed by letter that the cost of attending Mer-cyhurst College for the 72-73 year would be încreased. Tuition for the upcoming year is set at $1725. Room and board rates were set at $1100. Offsetting these ra teg lit-er eases Is a $ 100£ decrease in Student Activities Fees.

In an interview with Mr. E.W. Kennedy, Director of Student Affairs, ajfew of the questions raised concerning the increased financial costs at Mercyhurst for the 1972-1973 school year were explained, f *i f

Regarding the rise of tuition, Mr. Kennedy stated that it is due, generally, to the overall rise in the cost of living today; and, in particular, as it relates to our own college community, the in-crease involves:

— the addition of new faculty members in certain departments.

— the rise*of institutional costs, e.g. lighting, maintenance, security, replacement of educational equipment I

j — the increase in faculty salaries as a whole. i

This can be understood from

the fact that the? bulk of Mer-cyhurst's funds must come from tuition, rather? than f from donations, grants, etc. | ".The change in the structure of the Student Activity Fee, that is a change from $125 to $25, means that the college willM assume all those costs such as the newspaper, yearboook, and other various activities, as opposed to channeling it to the Student Activity Fee. At the same time, the college will have control over everything but the $25, which will be funneled to R.U.S. Simply, it is a matter of transferring part of the Student Activity Fee and placing it within the structure of tuitioa"

Concerning room andr board costs, the major factors are food, water, and electricity. These three basic institutional needs are continuing to cost more as months goby. H*' jg |

Thus, these are the major reasons that the Budget Finance Committee andi the Board of Trustees at Mercyhurst * have found it necessary to raise the tuition, room and board for the upcoming school year.

The Administrative

Shaft Editors Note: I The following

article was written nearly a month ago. It was not printed at the request of an administrator. I was asked, in good faith, to wait until the board of trustees met to discuss the financial future of Mercyhurst. This meeting did not take place in time for my article to appear in the May 12th issue of the MERCIAD. |

It is with regret that repUes can not&jbe aired through this newspaper in the near future (this being the last until September). Yet, anyone who wishes to make their opinion publicly known may use the \ bulletin boards throughout the campus.

•̂ The Administration has reduced the 'Student Activities Fee from $125 yo $25. Wonder of wonder, miracles of miracles -not quite. This but a delusion of grandeur! t

To offset the $100 reduction, the administration has increased tuition from the present $1550 to $1725 for 72-73. (A $175 increase). Coupled with the tuition hike will be an increase of $100 in room and board rates. i *

In figures, it breaks down^as follows: I.

I • COSTS $ | 71-72 | 72-73 $ 125... ...FEES $. 25 $1,550 Tuition $1,725 $1,000.. Room & Board $1,100

$2,675 TOTAL ?i | | $2,850

It should be pointed! out that there is justification for the in-crease in costs. The tuition in-crease of $75 (the $100 transfer from Student Activities Feefto tuition will be discussed below) will be used to- booster the inadequate counseling services and improve the Placement

services. The $100 raise in room and

board rates can be justified by the increase of both food and utility prices.

What cannot be justified is the arbitrary shifting of $100 of the Student Activities Fee to tuition. It is a tactic used by an untrusting administration to assurer money for various programs that it thinks necessary. I will not question either the sincerity of the administration nor the validity of the programs it supports.!

My purpose, in a word, is to chastise the administration for their lack of trust in its student.

It is to chastise the ad-ministration for not taking the time nor evoking an effort to talk with the students concerning this issue. (A brief dialogue between one student, even though the student is representative of the students, and one administration does not constitute a com-munication betweeen lad-ministration and students.)

It is to chastise the ad-ministration for their sophistic justification for such a transfer. Bookkeeping may very Weill be easier with? said transfer. Yet, why has it taken the ad-ministration over two ?years to arrive at this decision? Per-sonally, it seems that, as some of the vocal few among the students began questioning the breakdown of the activities fee, some in-dividuals in the administration decided it was time for a change. Even if'the administration's in-tentions were honorable, I do not feel their actions were. Again, let me stress this is my personal view. But if this view is correct, I think it is time for sOme people to, ask themselves, "Does the end justify the means?*'

Promises ? Polls and Predictions They were wrong. They said it

was all over - the sit-ins, the marches, the demonstrations, the protests, the Movement. The "mood," as they called it, jihad "subsided," as they described it. It was back to the 50's, the magazines said. There's a new mood of good old t American apathy among today's students, the editorialists said. And why? Because we were so disillusioned, they said, so the days of Berkeley and bombings, Kent State and confusion were over and it was back to the apathetic womb. *

Were they ever wrong. The anger was there ~ it just had manifested itself in different ways. Maybe we felt more hopeful for the first time in many years, more optimistic because we could Vote. Or because maybe things seemed better.':I mean, we had been promised a quick and clean end'to that War. We had George McGovern. And we had health foods, macrame, organic gardening and other indulgences that the periodicals periodically said were "our things" we were doing instead.

And then a few weeks ago President Nixon sang hisklatest^ end-the-war-before-election-time-blues and - pop - within hours, things blew? up all over again all over the country.

So now we should get ready for a whole new slew of polls and predictions that will tell us how to fee) for the next six sick months.

Well, I'm tired of the predic-tions and I'm tired of the protests. I'm tired of the broken promises, I'm tired of not knowing what to dot with the anger. The recent protests were an outlet for stored-up anger, but other* than that, they haven't done much . good. They; fall on deaf fears. The President doesn't listen and to many older people who view our anger on the Six O'Clock News, we're giving peace a-bad name. There's nothing that turns people off more, as they turn their sets on more, than |young > people blockading andt barricading, taking over buildings and throwing rocks. Well, of course, it wasn't EVERYONE - but you

Mercyhurs t ' s Drama Department's final production wasv the hit musical MAME. Opening night, $ May 11, offered excitment to its waiting public. p All fears were $ chased away from the start. Carl Stout's smiling face and pert Didi Click assured the audience that their admission price was justified. As Mr. Stout prepared the orchestra and Didi's hands covered the keyboard we just sat back to enjoy the performance.

Patrick;; (Nick Rouch) and Gooch (Pat Cleary) entered and warned us what could possibly take place —fan extremely fun -Show. f |

Singing Mari Gardner made her first Mercy hurst appearance in the lead role. A job well done for our| sophomore art major. Christi Warnick once again gave her all as Mame's backbiting side kick. Vera Charles. A very humorous scene was Mame and Vera singing "Bosom Buddies."

The show*; stopping scene was Gooch's magical transfer from a "plain Jane" to a living swinger/ As * she letiher hair down the applause rose /showing the audience's appreciation to this extremely funny sequence.

Other show stoppers were Mika Nye, who once again in a cameo role, played a lady with a foreign accent, and Bitsy McCarthy who as Beauregard's (Mike Weiss) first love let her southern hospitality show at Mame's arrival.

In large productions like MAME itfis impossible to name all involved but congratulations are in store for all. A special mention to the folks behind the stage — the Technical Arts class

By!Hark Zine

under the direction of Paul C. Iddings; Dennis Andres and his gang who lived 'in the Little Theatre construction sets; the Musical Director Cecily Gallagher; and Jude Yablonsky, Director, who tied it all together making MAME a great memory for 1972. I

With the year almost at a close we stop and thank those who try to make our stay here enjoyable. Many thanks to Jim Casillo of the AV Department who supplied the weekly flicks. These "free" films have been on a much higher caliber than last year and we can only hope for the same results next fall — Thanks Jim.1 S»'•

Into Music Procol Harem ft 9 Live 99 9 And Well In Canada

By Denny Stevens

•j*. Having only just recently undergone their third major personnel change in three years — guitarist Robin Trower leaving in the wake of a disastrous tour of Italy, guitarist Dave Ball and bassist Alan Cartwright joining, and Chris Copping taking up permanent residence behind the organ — Procol Harum surmised that in November, 1971, the wise thing to do would be to retrace their musical steps of the preceding three years. ml

Being a band of vision and lofty aspiration, though, Procol sought to make the tour more than merely a series of performances of oldies-butrgoldies, but also a preparation for the recording of the sort of live album that befits a hand of vision and lofty aspiration.

To make£such an album, one that would giorify as well as simply remind of earlier triumphs, they, being makers of Tmusic whose majesty, intelligence, and emotional grandeur occasionally derives from and always evokes the classics, would require the accompaniment of a symphony orchestra. |

The Edmonton (Alberta, Canada) Symphony required no undue coaxing to accept the gig, someone of authority therein obviously knowing that Procols alliance with another Canadian orchestra ftwo ye«« brfore .On Stratford's Shakespeare Festival) had resulted in great satisfaction for both partes and cm-barrassment for neither. To go one up on their K S S E l l w " neighbors, the Edmontoidans even brought along a twenty-strong mixed chorus. The de Camera Singers.

VA^ » ~ f . . • . • -

Procol H a r e m . . . The "Whiter Shade Of Pale" Boys are

back on tour.

On the evening of the concert, three days after Procol had flown up right after a quiet college gig, The de Camera singers came out wearing curious orange, lavender, and pink Tom Jones shirts.- |

Edmonton Symphony Orchestra conductor Leonard Lawrence came outwearing an amiable smile and a friendly, jocular stage manner, neither of which he would discard over the course of the concert, at least one embarrassing catastrophe notwithstanding.

And theit sound came out rather awful, seventy-two hours proving insufficient time in which to have devised a way to render the group and orchestra acoustically, as well as musically, sympathetic: from orchestra-level-center in the handsome Jubilee Auditorium the natty de Cameras and the subtler instruments could be seen but not heard, and the sound of the orchestra and group playing with com-parable force atf the same time was ap-proximately that of an Elton John record over a tiny car-radio speaker. '•

Which led your correspondents — when, after an amazing standing ovation and an encore ("Repent Walpurgis"), Gary Brooker an-nounced that the group was going to have another crack at a couple of the numbers that had gone bumpily at i the beginning of the program — to make his way backstage to hear how things were going on tape.

Graduating seniors usually take j . certain liberties upon themselves. This being the case, I plan to disregard some rules of good journalism (not that I ever followed them). It is not proper to write referring to yourself as "I". However, in order for me to adequately sum up my feelings towards Mercyhurst and athletics, if can only express myself in a very personal man-ner.*? V i When I first- took this job two

years ago, I never realized the difficulties that would he in-volved. Being a rather athletically-minded jperson I. thought all people thought along the same; lines., Mercyhurst however, awoke me. I have heard criticism of the athletic program since my first day at this in-stitution. Sometimes, I think the criticism was an over-reaction to highly unlikely, possibilities. Other times, I think certain criticisms were (and are) justified. I *

Mercyhurst has neither the physical nor financial resources to ever go into "big-time'* athletics. It (Mercyhurst) should never lose its perspective of being a good academic institution. Athletics shouldn't be allowed to replace scholasticism, but'who ever proposed Chat? I agree that extremes have to be avoided in the athletic program, but,aren't extremes bad in most cases? gg,

I wrote an article earlier this year concerning "non-attendance" at basketball games. Since then, | l have received certain comments that make me want to justify my stand. First of all, the article did not say that one had to support athletics in order to enjoy the "total college ex-perience." I used athletics just as an example of -the prevalent apathetic attitude towards EVERYTHING-which I felt then, andffeel now, still exists. Social activities, cultural events, especially student government -all are areas in which the college shows a lack of interest. There are, of course, some who support certain ventures wholeheartedly, but I will write about those people later. | |Any personjcan be highly en-

thused about one area in which he participates. I feel that way towards athletics. I wouldn't want to lose that which I have gained while 'being engaged in athletic competition. Many others probably feel the)same towards their special field, but athletics is mine. While at Mercyhurst I have participated in many facets of the athletic program.

year's tennis season). Moments of hilarity (being stranded with the basketball team in a snowstorm); and moments of,despair (losing our first tennis match in2 years to Edinboro, 5-4). I would never want to forget the friendships and acquaintances I have made through athletics. As Sports Editor, I have enjoyed watching the golf tea ml show tremendous improvement; the crew team developing from infancy; and the great start of the basketball program at Mercyhurst. As for the tennis team, how could one forget the experiences and the people he has practically "lived and died" with for 2 years. I can say this much for athletics, but I know that other people have got the same type of experience in other areas.

The last statment leads to what I want to say in this, my last journalistic endeavor. I have pointed out that athletics is but one part of the college ex-perience. There are many other areas of college life in which a student may participate if he so chooses. It is possible, fand probable, that students could become highly committed to one segment such as social activities, cultural events or athletics. It is also just as likely that a student could be very caught up in his major field of academic con-centration-Art, History, English, etc. If such a person becomes too involved in one area, isn't it very possible his scholastic, or part of his scholastic development, will suffer? I feel it is just as probable for an athlete to become too in-volved in sports as it is for someone else to be too involved in social, cultural or * other \ extra-curricular activities.

Will someone please explain-why, then there is this pervasive attitude here that the athlete lacks a well-rounded perspective. In this so-called "learned" community of ours, isn't it rather strange that educated people should take this extremely narrow point of view. If they are so broad-minded why do some hold athletes in contempt for extremes which also occur in other areas! One wonders if the critics fail to notice, or simply refuse, because they themselves are guilty?

came to an embarrassing halt halfway through when the group and orchestra lost track of one another, third) cracks at those selections they decided could J>e done better, scarcely a person moved. Surveying this scene, one got the distinct impression that, had Procol gone into the wee small hours in an attempt to perfect its performance it would have been in front of the same full house.

What necessitated the group's taking second cracks was their having originally arrived onstage extremely nervous. Through the first few numbers Brooker's voice, for instance, was-.a timid and occasionally even off-key shadow of its usual searing soulful self,-and B.J.Wilson, customarily dynamic and brutal, attacked his drums as if they were made of porcelain.

Then, gradually, the band got out of neutral: jBrooker's voice beginning to cut as cleanly and sharply as usual, regaining its ability to leap extremely difficult melodic intervals with assurance and power; B.J., the mysterious bald spot on the left side of his head glistening dramatically in the lights, walloping his drums with abandon, once again con-fident̂ in his strange and unique syncopated style; Cartwright and Copping, on bass and organ, holaing the foundation secure; and Ball, wincing in his distinc-tive apologetic-looking fashion, wringing terrified screams|and angry sputters of sound from his little cherry Gibson.

With the band in gear now and the orchestra holding its own with the cogent sand intelligent arrangements Brooker had written for it (arrangements that at no time resembled the mushy, melodramatic string-laden ex-cesses resorted to by most of the other rock people who have at-tempted such an enterprise), the listener*s attention was-| free to move from the early intrusive tension of the band to the ex-traordinary beauty and grace of Brooker's Jmelodies. to the emotional power of Keith Reid's words. i ^ i # b As always Procol made music to emotionally affect, $ to be marvelled at for its elegance and power. Some, like "Whaling Stories," was chilling, eerie, for boding. Some, like "Luskus Delp," was politely gentle. Some, like, "Simple Sister," assaulted, and some like "All This And More," cajoled, and some, like "A Salty Dog," mourned. Some of it, like the carnival section of "In Held Twasfln I" (during which Gary's arrangement caDed for the de Camera singers to whistle, shout, and generally have a grand old time), was even comic.

All of it was informed with the unique and potent vision that makes Procol Harum one of the three or four most splendid rock bands in all the world, *

Even as you read this Chris Thomas has painstakingly combined and edited those six-teen cleanly separated tracks he and Wally Heider got down on tape. Live With The! Edmonton Symphony Orchestra i (or whatever its title will turn out to be), the sort of live album that kefits a group like Procol Harum, will be with you shortly.

Jesse Campbell, a 6*9" first team high school! All-American eager." who was sought after by over 100 colleges, has decided to play basketball for the Mer-cyhurst Lakers beginning this fall. A , >..J

"Jesse is'as good a college prospect as most major colleges will recruit' this year," said Dick Fox, Mercyhurst's head basketball coach. "With the addition of! Jesse to an already potentially good team, we will have|to rate as a serious con-tender for a trip to the N.A.I.A. national championships in Kansas City this coming season,"

• career scoring (1541 points) and career % rebounding (1624 rebounds). % In addition to his season scoring and rebounding average marks set (this past season, Campbell averaged 23.8 points and 25.1 rebounds as a junior and 17.2 points and 18.4 reboundsjas a sophomore.

For the past three years he has been All-Conference and All-Lansing "Area. Jesse was also named to the All-State and All American teams during his junior and senior campaigns. fe>

Coach Phil Hora of Stockbridge enjoyed 23-1 and 22-1 seasons with Campbell leading the way to the state semi-finals once and the state finals on another occasion.

During the past three seasons that Jesse has played for Coach Hora, Stockbridge lost only six of 65 games.

A rugged individual Fwno carries 210\pounds on his 6'9" frame, Campbell won nine letters in high school and also received honorable mention All-State honors in f ootba 11.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse James Campbell, Sr. of Gregory, Michigan.

With the race at Wayne State last Sunday, the Crew team completed its first full season. Therefore, it is only appropriate to issue a few awards to various members of the team. f

The OTR award goes to both Ed "Chester" Mylett and Bill "Coxie" Lonergan. The "Reason Why" award, for the second year running is graciously given to Jim Zielinski. The Jock award is given to the only girl coxie in the area, Gerri Sica, since she played on the girl's basketball team, too. The Utility award is Gene Egan's. He has the distinction of being the only one on the team to row in every race we've had this year.

There is another tie for the B.G. award; both Bob "North" Beck and Tony Murphy are going to have to share this one. < Coach Barry McAndrew gets j the Horrendous award. It is given to him because of the new word, "horrendous," that he imbedded into our vocabulary.

The Hollow Leg award for this year (and probably every year) belongs to John Dailey. For being the most disobedient person on the team, we give to Sport Collins The Most Flagrantly Disobedient award. For taking most pictures on the road and at practice, Al Belovoric has earned for himself the Allen Funt award.

Before we close the awards, we must not forget our two other coaches. For Jack j! Gartner, we give the distinction of being the most resourceful boat-mover—on a cattle-truck. And the man "being on the tprogram" the most—Bob Angelucci.

The past year we've come a long way. For a first year team we have nothing to be ashamed of. We've rowed well at times, bad at others. We have rowed a few of the toughest schools in the country, eg: Marietta, Virginia, Morris Harvey. There were also schools that were not-so good. Against them all we were respectable. We've made mistakes that cost us a few races—but it's nothing that cannot be corrected. Next year well have the experience of our first year as a team together under our belts, ^and we'll be better. We won't be considered as

one of • the top teams in the country, but well be known—you can bet on that.

We were fortunate to have three coaches who have helped us tremendously fin? our im-provement. They stuck with us through}the bad times, en-couraged us when we were down.

Next year it will be a brand new season. We won't have the material problem we've had this

season. We won't have to wade out into the water up to our waist; we now, have a dock. We won't have to keep the boat outdoors; we now have a boathouse. We won't have to wait for one boat to come in from practice before the other one goes out; we now have two good ones. fi B - 9

We have the equipment, we have the full support of the school; yes, next year is a brand new season.
