Fas t fo r Freedom a campus-wide campaign was held Thursday, Nov. 18. Studen ts and facultymembers abstained from lunch andhad the money they would normally spend for lunch presented to thecampus unit of Jthe National ^Student Associat ion.

This money was sent , then, to thenational office of NSA to help provide for, and make economically independent, impoverished Negrofamilies in 'Mississippi and others tates where the need is great .The nation-wide ThanksgivingFast for Freedom of 1964 raisedover 138,000 and succeeded in providing food for over 100,000 Mississ ippi Negroes.The need did not end with th isprogress o r with Ithe Mississ ippi

program. In addit ion to the hardship remain in g ! in Mississippi, anegated economy has created a

si tuation in many parts of Georgia,Arkansas , South Carolina, Alabamaan d Louisianna in which emergencyfood and other economic assistanceare needed.

Further, a large scale voter regis trat ion project is being plannedby civil rights organizations at th ist ime.

pageltwoa follow up . . .In the October 29th issue of THE MERCIAD an editorialwas printed presenting th e problem of an over-extendedworkload for a great many Mercyhurst students. The problemis NOT an insolvable one. Mercyhurst College has within i tss t ruc tu re thej necessary channels to facilitate a solution.;;The first step in effecting! an answer to the woes ofs tudents was to bring the problem to the attention of thoseconcerned. Such a job rightfully belongs to the student publication - hence, "THE ACADEMIC DELUGE." However,^newspaper cannot simulate thef benefits of apersonal ex

change of opinion between the s tuden ts and the faculty. Sucha common discussion w as: held on November 15th, when _ _faculty! members and twelve students- upperclassmen representing thelmajor fields, met and examined the existence ofa n| overabundance of assignments .Worthwhile proposals that th e group made will be presented to the Student Government Association for approvalan d reference to the Student Faculty Committee. It is withinthe framework of this ^committee t ha t th e problem of f th eMercyhurst workload must be dealt with, finally.Mercyhurst students may have felt that there were certain realms closed to student opinion and with this assumption, they withdrew their effort to endeavor in them. Thefuture solution to the problem of the workload may be thespur to further recognition of student feeling. It i s for th isreason that the situation now under consideration must notlack student support^and enthusiasm. I i

I The problem of academic over-load was handled in theabove manner. Other problems both academic and social canbe I handled similarly. The Student Government ha s fivestanding committees through which th e student may work.Orientation Committee, (Rosalie Barsotti, Chairwoman),is designed to acquaint freshmen with the campus and to helpthem adjust to college life. For three days prior to th e formalopening of school, this committee conducted a get-acquaintedprogram for the freshmen. Since that period, the committeehas held a weekly meeting to enable th e freshmen to discussproblems and pose questions pertaining to any aspect of lifeat Mercyhurst . | f MElection Policy Committee,' (Sandy Selva, Chairwoman),supervises all elections that affect th e entire student body.Since Mercyhurst has an extra-curricular point system,astudent may hold offices in extra-curricular clubs, thej ag gregate of which may not exceed ten points. It is the duty ofthis committee to check once each semester students' recordsto make certain a student is not exceeding the ten point limitin her participation in extra-curricular affairs. JAlso* this committee observes th e work involved witheach office, and suggests a change in the pointing for it, ifnecessary. | | | I fSocial Committee, (Donna Gemma, Chairwoman), ar ranges the social calendar of Mercyhurst in conjuction withVilla Maria and Gannon Colleges. This committee schedulesactivities atfthe beginning of the academic year to preventdate, time and place conflicts. j if J |Cultural Committee, (Sally Schmitt, C hairwoman), plansthe Concert and Lecture Series in conjunction with GannonCollege. At the openin g! of school, thi s committee pres entsthe program of concerts and lectures for the year toI th estudents . | | | , |.

3 Student-Faculty Committee handles all school-wide academic problems. Composed of three faculty members andthree s tudents , it acts as a liason between the faculty an d thestudent body.National Student Association, NSA, Mary Beth O'Hara,Coordinator, advises th e SGA President of happenings onother college campuses. Through "Pro and Con" ?bulletins,marches and the like, NSA endeavors to develop an awarenessin th e students of national as well as campus matters .Presently a committee is considering [the re- struc turingof SGA, so that more standing committees may exist. Underconsideration are th e following committees:National affairs, academic affairs, curriculum, inner clubcouncil and religious affairs. \ 4There is no excuse for letting campus problems remainunsolved. Resources for their ^solution area available, andshould be employed by the students. - %

nature influences art coursePossibly the most creative, yet informal, class at Mercyhurst is thecrafts course for sophomore artmajors . Although th is course hasa definite purpose which must bemet through definite ass ignments ,the relaxed atmosphere has ledmore f than oneJ art major to callthis he r favorite class .T h i s ! crafts course deals withthree dimensional design in suchthings'as texti les , s i lver jewelryand plast ics . Contrary to what maybe believed by. stude nts in o thermajors , th is work involves a greatdeal of intell ectua l activity, and isvery t ime consuming. The firs t s tepalone, choosing an object to baseone's work upon, can take manyweeks of thought.The firs t area that the s tudentsapproached th is semester was textiles. After serious consideration,together with their professor, Sister M. Ambro se, they decided tobase their works on nature formsbelieving these forms to be closer to

inter ibrary loanby bonnie de luca

Have you ever tried to find anyor additional information on a cer-3tain topic in our libraryfand beenmet by a dearth of such information? Have you ever searched forendless hours through every Eriearea library and bookstore for areference essential to a paper without finding it?If you have experienced eitherof these situations, then the subject of ^interlibrary loans shouldbe of interest to you. Through theinterlibrary loan system, facultymembers , grad uates and undergraduates may request references

from any part icipating l ibrary . Local, public, state, college and university libraries, including Mercy-hurst's College Library, are all involved in this system.. When app lying for a loan, theindividual has to take certain steps.Firs t , effort must be made to lo-cate the needed title. Then the individual must obtain an interlibraryloan form and fill it out completely,and accurately including all bibliographic information. The inter-library loan form provides all necessary instructions on proceduresfor borrowing, lending and returning books.

Naturally, a small college benefits more from this system than alarger institution, and will continueto do so with your support.

w h a t is good in design since theyare the most perfectly made. Theirinstructions were to use any medium in texti les (rugs, yarn , burlap,material) to make a design basedon a nature form. Some of the objects chosen this year included apiece of bark, a frog's eye, a pieceof quartz and a seahorse.After choosing the object thestudent must make sketches andplan the best way to get her desired effect. Then, she must choose

a medium which will help her givethis* effect, for example b urlap,yarn , h*ug samples, leather andpieces of egg shell. The final stepis the stitching of the article.By forcing the students to lookat nature's objects for designs, thiscourse strives to teach them tofind* beauty in unexpected places.Tapestries, completed by this classwhile they were working withltex-tiles, can be found in the hall onthe third floor.thanksgiving originscited

Thanksgiving ia mince pie andmashed potatoes , turkey and cranberry sauce, vacation and home.Yet these images are only developments of past festivals of thanksthe bases of which still carrymeaning for Americans.From * ancient times people haveset aside days after harvesting tooffer thanks to their gods. Theseancients expressed their grat i tude

at a feast accompanied by prayerand various religious rites. Sacrifice was one ancient way of givingthanks, and i t w as usually followedby*the communal meal.Today, meals of thanks have become part of various heri tages . Inthe United States this custom be-gan in 1621 when the Pilgrimswanted to thank God for theirfirst harvest. After 1621 this firstAmerican expression of gratitudespread to other communities. In1789 George Washington, realizingthe need of the people to acknowledge God's role in their liberty,chose the last Thursday in November as a special day of thanks.For some time after Washingtonthere were no other nationalthanksgiving observances. Then in1846 a'woman named "Sarah Halebegan a crusade for a holidaywhich would be a day of gratitude.As editor of the well-read "Godey'sLady's Book," she popularized thisidea through editorials and articles.She also wrote letters to many menin governing positions. The letterwhich reached Abraham Lincolnbrought success. In 1863 PresidentLincoln followed Washington's example by proclaiming the lastThursday in November as a nationalday for giving thanks to God. After Lincoln's death the customcontinued with successive presidentsannually announcing the nationalday of thanks. By 1928 the day hadbeen named "Thanksgiving Day."In 1945 Congress resolved that thetradit ional Hast T hursday in N ovember would be a legal holidaythroughout the nation.Since 1621, howev er, the observance of Thanksgiving Bay -hasundergone a change. Originally aday fo ri thankin g God, it is nowthought of more principally * as atime for family reunions. Besides

the meal, certain television broad-casts have become a traditional partof the day in many homes. Childrenof al l ages watch parades broadcast from Chicago and New YorkCity, and thrill to the many sights,for example the gigantic "MickeyMouse" balloon used each year b y"MacyV' (New York City). 'Andbrothers and fathers watch) th ebroadcast of football games; dinnertime being set so sthat it will notin terfere with the game.jOur own American heritage ofThanksgiving is paralleled in Canadian celebrations. As the Pilgrims,settlers in Nova IScotia observed aday of thanks in 1710. In lateryears s imilar days were fheld tocelebrate both battle victories androyal births. In 1879 a NationalDay of thanks was proclaimed byParliament, and in 1931 the secondMonday in October was designatedas "Thanksgiving Day."

Problems Hindering Skiiers

.

In the past, only a few have hadthe opportunity to part icipate inthis exhilarat ing sport . This wasdue to three main obstacles: weather conditions, inadequate equipmentor expenses.

Ski Club Offerings^The Ski Club solves the Rroblemof the final obstacles. Gannon'sSki Club plans to take full advantage of the facilities available in ournewly developing skiing areas.Peak'n Peak, a ski resort in Cly-mer, New York, is offering clubmembers (which includes the'Hurst and Vil la) an g opportunityto learn to ski at a minimal cost.Membership dues for the Club are$5.00. {.; IThe entire ski program, consis ting of a season of skiing on Fridaynights 7:30-9:30 \ p.m. for I te nweeks, will cost $20. This will jin

clude one hour of lessons and onehour of skiing on the slopes.Rentals of skis , boots and poleswill be $1.00 per week, and Gannonwill furnish transportation to andfrom thei lodge.Value of Ski Program %

The value of the ski program andinterest of the students is evidencedby the increased membership. Thisis the result of the opportunity toski at a minimal cost. (A day ofskiing averages $17rental charge,group lessons, use of slopes andJ-bar. )Take to the slopes and enjoy athrilling winter experience provided by the Gannon Ski Club.

november 23,1965 t h e m e r c i a dpsea welcomes membershipof interested education majors

page three

Th e J newes t ^organization atMercyhurst is the student Pennsylvania State Education Associationwhich offers membership to anysophomore, junior , or senior education major who is? interested inthe teaching profession. TheP.S.E.A ., which is affiliated w ithThe National Education Association, is the only organization oncampus which provides membership^ for both secondary and elementary education majors.iv- The purpose of P.S.E.A. is toprovide channels by which its membe r s m ay f study i the professionalproblems and the e thical standardsand ideals of the organized teachingprofession. Representatives are given |the opportunity to a ttend thesta te conventions and workshopsthrough which they become moreaware of important sta te legisla tioninvolving the profession of education.

Guest Speakers a t First MeetingOn November 30, the f irst meeting of P .S.E.A. w as held in^ Mc-Auley main lounge with Mrs. Dan

Scala as guest speaker . Mrs. Scalais head of the department of English and ?Speech at Lawrence ParkHigh School and coordinator of theNorth Western Distr ic t of FutureTeach ers of America and of thestudent P.S.E.A.Mrs . Scala spoke of the vitalimportance of P.S.E.A. as a professional organization and jj of thenecessity of ethical standards inthe profession. When askedfaboutthe basic difference between theAmerican Federation of * Teachers,a labor organization, and the National Education Association, .Mrs .Scala replied: "We are professionals dealing with minds and souls ofpeople, not machines and objects.

Labor deals with things; they canshut off supplies, we can't. Labor isgood, but not for us. We are professionals."Another important difference between the two, which Mrs. Scalaemphasized, is that the A.F.T. excludes school administrators, whilethe P.S.E.A. encourages theirmembership. ^According to Mrs.

Scala , the administra tor should bea teacher , the jjproblems of eachshould not be mutually exclusive.Mrs . Scala explained that thepersonal benefits of the P.S.E.A.are many-fold. Job opportunitiesare better for members becauseschool superintendents seem to feelthat the former P.S.E.A. memberhas a better understanding ofclassroom situations and of theteaching profession than the non-P.S.E.A. student. For those interested in wage earnings, Mrs. Scalapointed ou t. that most*salary in creases in Pennsylvania have comethrough P.S.E.A. ^When;asked the benefit of P.S.E.A. for those who do not plan toteach, in Pennsy lvania, M rs. Scala

sta ted that the values are essentia lly the same: most State Education Associations are affiliated withN.E.A. and are basically alike instructure . The journals receivedmonthly will I be of valuedfor anys ta te .After Mrs. Scala's informativetalk, Tom Matusiak,;a senior secondary education major at'; Gan-and vice president of Gannon'sP.S.E.A., spoke of his experiencesat the state convention in H a r r i s ,burg and offered some beneficialsuggestions for prospects and programs for the coming year .The Mercyhurst chapter ofP .

state mandates reading courseA new developmental readingcourse has recently become mandatory for all of Mercyhurst's secondary education m ajors. T his isbased on the 1958 action of theGovernor of Pennsylvania mandating such tra ining. \Through a reading survey itwas'found that the program wasfavored by 8 1 % of the secondary

schools in the Commonwealth. Itwas felt that since reading is thefoundation for all subjects, secondary school students need an opportunity to review, refine and applythe reading skills they developed inelementary school.

This reading course has a threefold purpose: to overview the totalreading 'program; to investigatereading problems peculiar to thesecondary schools; and to understand the nature of reading programs in the secondary schools.The course contains lectures anddiscussions pertaining to background understandings and readingin the Junior and* Senior HighSchools.

Developmental reading is an essential phase of the reading program. Furthermore, research showsthat all pupils will benefit from theinstruction.

My perfect mate was rthat littlefreckled-faced redhead that sat be hind me in the sixth grade.My nicest memory of .him w asthe last day of school, when I knewI would never again have to put upwith his "Roses are red, violets areblue, if I had your face, I'd live inth e zoo."1 guess I deserved getting him,since I had marked "no preference"in answer to the question of whattype of person I would most liketo date. But you rather expect computers to be a little more knowledgeable in such matters.After reading my -ult imatum, Iwalked around introducing other"gruesome twosomes/' and discussing the ability of a machine to replace the desire of the human heart.There were two poles: "If only Icould get my hands on that computer," muttered one "sigh Clyde"through gri t ted teeth , while a cohort insisted "that machine is allright" . Th e 1 "ugh Sallys" seemedto be divided in the matter, likewise.Both camps seemed to agree,though, that the evening was agood experiment, an excellent wayof meeting many people (Who willever forget "Do you know . . .
