The Old, The New


and The Graduates
It's an awkward time of the term. Most of us are finishing up
spring term, a few of us have just finished up winter term work
and some of us are even looking forward to next fall term.
Most of the major campus organizations have new officers
and are trying to quietly wind up this year while still working and
plotting away for next year. Within the past week, SAC has
chosen their leaders for the, 1985-1986 year. The Hotel
Restaurant Management Association will have their leaders in
place next week. MSG and WMCY have had next year's crews in
place for a few weeks.
The Merclad has a new staff that is worth mentioning.
Chris Cardinali, a freshman HRM major, will be next year's
News Editor. He brings with him much experience from this
year, as well as diversified interests that will contribute to a
close, hard-working staff. jjg| ja*
Sophomore English major Susan Marcy has accepted the job
as Feature Editor. She has contributed some interesting
features to this year's paper and has some great ideas for next
year. yj
jLori Martin, a sophomore English major, brings her talents to
the newly created position of Calendar Editor. Lori will be in
charge of compiling happenings, facts and tidbits for "Bulletin
Board", "Weekend" and the new column called;"ETC". j | £

ten approximately 114 entries from 21 states, including Alaska.
The Showcase was initiated In 1983 calling for unproduced
plays to be sent for evaluation and judging to Mercyhurst Col-

for new works by American playwrights, to establish Mer-
xyhurst, and Erie as an important regional and national theatre
force, and to provide new playwrights with support and present
new works fot the theater. The deadline for submissions was
