Performing Arts
Chautauqua Institution
Enhances Summer On Hill
/ Mercy hurst and Chautauqua
Institution are joining efforts to
share interests and ideas within
the performing arts to enhance the
1984 Summer on the Hill
program.
At the present time, David
Palmer, academic dean, Conine
Halperin, director of the office of
community education, and
Richard Redington, vice president
of Chautauqua are in the initial
planning stages of the project.
"Through the collaboration,
students at both institutions will
have the opportunity to broaden
their cultural activities," Dean
Palmer said.
This project is being funded by
the Erie Community Foundation.
Chautauqua is an .institution
which conducts dance, theatre
and musical performances during
the summer.
Summer of the Hill is a collec-
tion of films, theatrical, dance
and musical performances which
are held in the grotto.
"By sharing resources with
Mercyhurst we are going to gain
some visibility," Redington
stated.
"Because we are sharing
resources, we can provide greater
programs for fewer dollars,"
Halperin said.
"We are also- interested in
educational outreach,'*
Redington said.
Mercyhurst is also enthusiastic
about developing a working rela-
tionship with another institution.
Palmer said, "It will be a plus
for the college i to be connected
with Chautauqua.
' One of the advantages include
taking 4accredited courses at the
institution. J.
While this idea is still in the
planning stages,, Palmer, is .in-
vestigating Chautauqua's ac-
tivities to reassure they fit into
Mercyhurst requirements.
Mercyhurst faculty may also be
given the opportunity to teach at
Chautauqua if the need arises,
Palmer said.
"The concept of sharing will
serve as a model of how institu-
tions can create programs for its
c o n s t i t u e n t s , " Redington
concluded. *

Third Assistant:
by Karen Merkle
A fund raising consultant
originally hired in a temporary
capacity last J uly has permanently
joined the Mercyhurst ad-
ministrative staff, according v to
college President^Dr. William P.
Garvey.
<Philip J. Brunskill, formerly of
Donald Campbell and Company,
has been named an Assistant to
the President for Advancement,
and executive director of the
Campaign for Mercyhurst.
The fund raising project is still
in the planning stages, but pro-
posed for initiation later this year.
Brunskill brings to this position
not only twenty-five years of
public relations and consultation-
development experience, but also
months of study of the Mer-
cyhurst situation and of the com-
munity's reaction to a massive
fund raisin g»e ffertv^
Since his arrival at the 'Hurst
last summer,.Brunskill has con-
ducted numerous surveys and in-
terviews with local citizens, com-
munity leaders, and those directly
concerned with the college, to
gauge opinions about the
possibility of a " $3 to $5 million"
fund raiser, according to Dr.
Garvey. If thesefiguresare reach-
ed, it would constitute a suc-
cessful campaign, he commented.
Now that the study is com-
pleted, on February S it will* be
presented to the Board of
Trustees, to make the final deci-
sion on whether to procede with
the campaign, though both Dr.
Garvey and Brunskill are op-
timistic about the proposal's
acceptance.
It accepted, Brunskill said the
organization of a campaign com-
mittee would begin|immediately,
with the actual solicitation of
funds probably not gearing up un-
til later this year.

turn, awards incoming freshmen money from the department

Students who complain about limited scholarship funding
within institutions of higher education, now have a chance to
increase the supply of funds by raising money through the
Phonathon.
The February event is a fund raising project that provides
personal contact between present Mercyhurst students and
past Mercyhurst students. Talking with the alumni can be
very interesting and enjoyable. Most alumni feel a strong
sense of commitment and association with the 'Hurst. They
are willing to share academic and career advice' and> even

Seniors Face More Than
The Usual Winter Blues
By John Muzic
With mid-terms fast ap-
proaching, Winter Term, much
like the local seasonal weather,
has settled in and the*excitement
generated by, the advent of the
new year, full of hope for new
beginnings and experience, seems
to have faded t and become hazy
just like the sun in an Erie winter
sky.
This letdown happens every
year and I know it's a temporary
thing. Normally, I bury myself in
academics forcing them to create
a kind of inspirational motivation
of their own which will keep me
sufficiently occupied until the
phase passes, ;
But. somehow, this year is dif-
ferent. As a senior facing gradua-
tion, I realize that I can't afford
the luxury of "the horse with
blinders" tactic I've used in the
past. I know that a logical resolu-
tion to the events of the last three
years has to be plotted and played
out. But doing so is a rather dif-
ficult task; perceiving options,
making decisions and finalizing
plans being just a few of the men-
tal processes involved.

What's new at Erie's finest
seafood restaurant? Aside from
the tine cuisine offered by The
Buoy, the visiting patron will be
delighted with the enhancement of
the restaurant's interior. Recent-
ly, the restaurant (located at 4

visitors of The Buoy will notice a
healthier glow, not drastic
changes. The warmth and charm
that has always -been a distinct
trademark of The Buoy remains
firmly intact. These subtle
modifications are indeed desirable
and a welcome change. Not only

industry? 'j 1.
In 1983, we saw such films as

Sudden Impact, Silkwood and
Yentl. These are just a handful of

Somehow, somewhere, and at

perceived' that The Buoy

of fresh seafood, beef; chicken,

this impression is entirely untrue.
The luncheon and dinner, menus
are designed to fit everyone's
budget. An appreciation of fine
food, attractively served in a
nautical atmosphere with a
panoramic view can fbe ap-
preciated by all, not just a select
clientele. Erie has such a
restaurant in The Buoy! Lun-
cheon specials begin at $2.25, with
dinner entrees beginning at $5.95.
These prices do not close the door
on anyone. I find myself spending
more for lunch at fast food
restaurants than the luncheons of-
fered Stby*The^ Buoy. Of course,
many patrons think that served
lunch takes too much time. The
Buoy realizes that most of its
guests have less than one hour, se-

I had the distinct pleasure of
dining with Coach Tony DeMeo,
a celebrity in the world of foot-
ball. Coach DeMeo's philosophy
is truly a wonder. I found in his
appreciation of The Buoy's
cuisine, extending far beyond his

many other culinary delights.

the audience. But does an au-
dience prefer to think or to sit
back and be entertained?
It seems as though "fad films"
are becoming nothing more than a
passing phase. A variety is now
being offered to film audiences.
Horror flicks such as Psycho II
seem to be "going down the
drain." (no pun intended). But
film fads have proven to be effec-
tive profit-makers. '
'With Cable becoming more
popular, * people can see these
blockbuster films at home. They
may have to wait 6 months or so,
but it saves about $4.00 a ticket
plus popcorn expenses. Some of
the premium services, such as
Home Box Office, are acquiring
yourself for that special occasion
or event. Perhaps you just feel
like pampering yourself and seek
a haven _to accommodate these
sudden desires. Great appetizers,
great entrees, soups*and salads,
and fabulous sweets, are all a part
of The Buoy's offerings. I've
found their food (on several visits)
just great. In fact, not one item
that I've ever tried has been less
than great. The Buoy is open year
round with minor adjustments in
winter hours of service. For
lunch, The Buoy is open Monday-
Saturday from 11:00-3:00 p.m.,
and* dinner Monday-Thursday
from 5:00-10:00 p.m., with Friday

First In A Series
Mercyhurst Student Government President
Examines And Assesses 1983-84 MSG
By Martha Camp
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following
is part one of a series* on the
assessments and views of the
1983-84 Mercyhurst Student
Government as seen by MSG
President Dave Robinson.
Q. What is your assessment of
student government this year?
It's!; great. I think its the best
government we've ever had. At
the meetings the different com-
mittees have a chance to spend
that extra 15 minutes that we
would have spent talking amongst
all of us. We let the committees
work'on whatever they're assign-
ed to work on. And then the com-
mittees, J during committee up-
dates,: get to present whatever it
was that they worked on from the
week before. What it has done is,
rather than having one-hour
meetings where you get: maybe a
half-hours work done, we have
maybe half-hour meetings and we
get an hour's worth of work done.
This has helped all around.
Our attendance is really good.
We never seem to have a problem.
At the beginning and toward the
end of the year last year, we did
have a couple problems if you
remember, with quorums and
stuff like that, but we were miss-
ing it by like one, two. But once
we got our new reps elected, with
freshman reps and all that,*and
once we got our full government
body together, we haven't had
any problems since-then.
Everybody has pretty much had a
little input here and there. And,
whenever we do hit an issue-this
week, now we've started to work
on some constitutional revisions,
the constitutional Revision Com-
mittee that's headed by Missy
Hurlburt ijhas been meeting
throughout the year. They've
been trying to decipher because
the constitution we've been going
by, has been updated, but it was
never recompiled, and put back
together with all the revisions. So,
what they've had to do is go
through all the minutes of the past
meetings for the last two years
and find out exactly when they did
pass a new revision and when they
might have dropped sometling or
added something. The committee
finally got an idea of where we
stood today, and now they're star-
ting to decide how we want to
look tomorrow. And the first
thing that's in the agenda that we
started last week was dropping
club and organization reps. The
philosophy behind dropping the
club and organization reps is that
it leads to double and triple
representation.
Now, that means that, if you're
a Computer Science major, and
you're in the ski club, and you're
a commuter, you have your com-
muter rep, you have your com-
puter science rep and you have,
now, a dub rep which would be
your ski club rep. So, that person
has three reps whereas somebody
whose a Apolitical science major
ram
who lives :here at school, and
that's it, doesn't belong to
organizations, they have their
resident rep, which every resident
has, and they have their major
rep. It gives them extra reps, than
other people. What they're trying
to do is trim things down so that
equal representation is afforded
to everyone.
Now, we don't take ourselves
so seriously in the student govern-
ment to think that lobby blocs are
going to build and people are go-
ing to get together and form little
blocs here and vote in this and
that. Things have run pretty much
so far, in my experience, by con-
sensus in, the government, then
things operate a lot better.
Everybody's either agreed on
something or somebody's brought
up a valid point which has shifted
the opinion. And, aside from
that, that's the smoothest func-
tion that I can see once we get a
consensus in the government, then
thing operate a lot better.
L The lecture series, jwe didn't
have any problems with. Our
special' projects committee has
been handling that. They handle
the receptions, ithey handle the
tickets, posters and the publicity.
We have a committee to take
care of the bus as far as schedul-
ing, things like that. It is needed
when you have different orders
coming in from different areas of
the school, and everybody wants
to know when it is available. So,
we have people to jjtake care of
that.
We have an Activities Day
Committee that was just formed,
and Kathy O'Conner and Karen
Gens run that. From what they've
been saying, they've been getting
fairly steady turnout of about five
or six people that keep showing up
to the meetings. It's real, early
Still, and Activities'Day isn't till
May. So, as the time gets closer,
we'll get more input.
Q. Obviously, you think that
the quality of the MSG meetings is
good. Do yon like the new system
of shorter meetings and longer
committee meetings?
Yes. The only thing that I
would complain - about that I
would like to see is more people
that aren't elected reps in student
government." I mean people that
are just' students, that have some
attitude towards something or
some concern about something to
come to the meeting and voice
their opinion. Most of the things
that we've been doing have been
setting up services like the
Transport Service to go home for
the people that live in New York,
1
and different things like that.
We're* pretty much setting up
something new and providing a
service. We haven't gotten too
much into issues or concerns
because unless I-see something
and I can bring it to the meeting,
one of those other 25 or 30 people
can see something and come to the
meeting, then you're kind of
limited. But if other people would
come in the meetings, just walk in
from wherever they are, and say
listen, this is bothering me, what
can you do about this? I've handl-
ed a lot of that stuff one to one
with people that have come in the
Office and said they had a pro-
blem with this thing, checking it
out, or what's going on here,
what's going on there. That's my
favorite part-to be able to tell
somebody like that, and be able to
do something for somebody,
through this position!
Q. Since your officer core was
all new this year, do yon feel that
this has been beneficial or
detrimental to your government?
Well-both ways. On a personal
level, its kind of hard to take for
four or five people from it totally
different areas of the school,
where you knew everybody
before, but you never were involv-
ed with them on a very deep level.
Everybody's got their own friends
and their things that they do and
people that J they have things in
common with. We have five peo-
ple from totally different areas
thrown together at the end of last
year and expected to run a govern-
ment that had been set up over
years, to run pretty smoothly.
That had a lot of burden on the
officer core, because swe meet
twice a week and we're here every
day and run everything on a day-
to-day i basis. The reps pretty
much tell us what to do and then
we have the job of doing it
through the week. It's really hard
to take five people that have hard-
ly anything in common and that
didn't know each other too'well
before iand throw» them together
and expect everything to run
smooth. Of course, we ran into
some difficulties in the beginning,
but we did wind up working
things out and,' right now, I feel
totally comfortable. *•
*Q. What are some of the new
things that have come about dur-
ing this year for the students end
the school in general?
Well, tangible kind of thingw.
We have the Transport Service.
We've got an increasing amount
of freshman coming from the iii
New York, Long Island, New
Jersey, and Philadelphia area.
Now, those people, when I was
here over vacation over the sum- z
mer, I helped at the orientations. I Q.
met the parents at the different
functions that they had set up for
parents and one of the biggest
concerns that some parents voiced
to me was that they were from
Long Island and they dreaded the I
10 hour trip to get here and back. I
I
And, every vacation, they didn't I
want to have to drive their kid out I
here and drive back. The kid is I
just fresh out of high school, and
probably never has been this far I
away from home before. They
were concerned about their travel I
arrangements, and they said you I
pretty much either have to go to l
1
Pittsburgh or. Buffalo to get a
THE MERCIAD
flight to New Jersey. So, to take
advantage of those cheap flights
to New Jersey, we had the bus.
We came up with the idea to set
up the Holiday Transport Service
to take thole people to the > air-
port, send them home and then
pick them up when they get back.
It is a nice convenience.
The other things are like the
Video Room. Last year, the
previous government passed a
resolution to spend out of our
Capital improvements for the
Union to buy a large screen TV
set* So, we bought the large screen
TV set. Then, it was pretty much
like what are we going to do with
this? This is a nice investment and
its something that's worthwhile,
so over the summer again (that's
one of the things where being here
Over the summer helped a lot) they
moved all the music room out of
that area in Zurn. So, I spoke with
Dr. Garvey and convinced him
that we could make better use of
this room than anybody else. So,
we built it. It took a long time,
because of different deals here
and there but we finally got the
room finished. We have a'.place
for the TV set.-Now, that room
can be used like the Back Porch
Cafe is used by*many different
groups around campus and off-
campus, too, for little functions
and meetings and things like that.
The Video Room now offers us
our own meeting room where our
committees can meet, we can hold
receptions there, SAC can have
their movies there, and we can get
good use out of the TV set. We
can also open it up, which we
have, to the community, so that,

there's meeting rooms available at
the school when other rooms are
booked. Now we have another
meeting area where the school can
meet.j. We can also, with the TV
set, can take advantage of the
massive amount of videos that can
be used for learning instruments.
With the Supreme Court decision
to take things off the TV set we
can take ^things from PBS now
and use .them discreetly for
classroom enhancement. A good
example, we taped the entire Viet-
nam series. Now, Erisman and
some of the other Political Science
teachers can use parts of it for
their class to emphasize this point
or that point. So, a class can go to
the Video Room rather than be all
cramped up in a screening room in
Media Services.
f The Alumni* were using the
large screen TV over the summer
to show the Mercyhurst film.
Now, rather than moving the TV
around, we have one place and
they can just come there and see
r
it. * jg? j -;
The freshman, during orient a-
tion, saw the same film, and we
moved the TV around.- Now,
we've got one place where people
can pop in and see this. The
possibilities ; for use are only
limited by your imagination. You
can use that room for just about
anything.

Lakers Strike Out Ashland
By Greg Yoko
When the Mercyhurst basket-
ball team takes to the road for a
game, it's strike one. When they
have an off night and don't play
as a team strike two. And when
you lose your poise, it's strike
three and you're out!
r
All three factors were present
when the Lakers traveled to
Ashland, Ohio to challange the
Eagles rof Ashland College, and
the result was a 73-55 disappoin-
ting loss.
Mercyhurst lost their, fifth road
outing in seven attempts with the
defeat, and watched their record
dip to 8-7' t , . jj
I The first half of the game was a
struggle for both clubs. The
Eagles controlled the pace of the
coach Bill Kalbaugh, "I; was ex-
tremely confident going into the
second half, But we immediately
dug ourselves a hole to start the
half. Everytime we committed a
turnover, there, were three, they
(Ashland) coverted on every tur-
nover, We went from one down to
ten." > 4 * vV x Sophs Marty Cams hit for ten
The Eagles did start the second
session on fire. Brian Miles, who
finished with 18 points, hit four
straight buckets and led Ashland
as the hosts connected on 74 per-
cent (17-23) of their shots in the
final stanza,
But, the Mercyhurst Lakers did
manage to stay in the ballgame.
"We were down by six with
2:40 to go and still a chance to win
the game," Kalbaugh elaborated.
attempt to get back into the
contest
The Blue and Green did manage
to have four players score in dou-
ble figures. Junior Jon Berkeley

paced thes Hurst with 14, and
juniors John Green and Rodney
Coffield accounted for 12 apiece.
markers while also leading the
team with eight rebounds.
Asked about the season at this
point, Kalbaugh had this to say:
"We are 8-7.1 thought we'd be a
little better in all honesty, but we
have 12 games to go. We are still
in good position to really have a
good season. ; We have to play
with a heck of a lot more intensity
than we did at Ashland. %
I think February will be a very wiw«wy

contest with a slow deliberate of-
fense. This gave the Lakers a tem-
po which they aren't accustomed.
The score at intermission reflected
the problems which both clubs
were having,, The 'Hurst was
down by one, 22-21.
' 'This is where ^ felt we complete-
ly lost our'poise. We took bad
shots, we had no floor balance,
consequently we weren't in re-
bounding position and we got
outscored 14-4.'*
