Fall fashions bring about new
looks. The Communications
Department also acquired its new
look for the fall of '83 as well.
The Department of Com-
munications is now located in the
basement ot Baldwin Hall.
Renovating the basement took
three months to complete and cost
$14,000, according to Richard
Ragan, director o f the
department. < music features, weather updates,
New additions to the depart-
ment include an FM radio station,
which is expected to go on the air
next fall. Ragan said the depart-
ment has filed an application with
the Federal Communication!
Commission for an FM radio
license. It will take the FCC six
months to approve the
application.
A radio production room is
now available to communications
majors. This will be an asset to the
department because it will allow
students to do classroom
assignments without interfering
with WMCY during broadcasts.
A TV studio and control room
is another addition to the Com-
munications Department.
However, they studio will not be
available for two years, Ragan
said* Communications majors
who are focusing their career in-
terest in TV will still obtain their
training at Erie Cablevision.
A news wire from"**the
Associated Press is another addi-
tion to the department. The wire
will allow students to ?• become
familiar with the many facets this
service has to offer, as well as
enhance their awareness of how
news stories change throughout
the day.
The 24 hour wire feeds news,
and business reports. The wire
service will be used as an informa-
tion source of state and national
news for WMCY. Three minute
news reports will be broadcast at
6:00 pun. that will update the na-
tional and state news as well as in-
clude campus news.
The Merciad office, faculty of-
fices, and Media; Services have
also been consolidated in the base-
ment of Baldwin;
Students associated with the
Communications Department
were invited to attend an open
house on Tuesday, September 6.

After months of \planning
and weeks of renovation, St.
Mark's Seminary is now fully
operational i as an^ extension
building of the t Mercy hurst
College campus. •*
Although the idea of
possibly leasing part of St.
Mark's from the Catholic
Diocese of Erie originated ear-
ly this year, it wasn't until
March that the agreement bet-
ween the two parties was
revealed.
And since the college's lease
didn't officially take effect un-
til July 1, work began on the
facility mid-summer.
But now all the major work
is done and the Music and
Hotel-Restaurant Management
departments have a new home
on E. Grandview Blvd.
According to- John Nesbit,
Assistant to the President for
Institutional Advancement,
two a floors of z the seminary
building, v totalling .50,000
square feet of space, are being
leased by the college at a cost
of approximately $80,000 per
year.
*In addition, Nesbit cited
about $10 -112,000 that was
funneled into repairs made on
the facility over the summer.
R e n o v a t i o n s included
carpeting, furniture, audio-
visual equipment, and
painting. l at St. Mark's, will have hours a
Even with these expen-
ditures, Nesbit pointed out the
relative bargain of the St.
Communications majors who
walked through; the basement
doors of Baldwin were impressed
with the new studios and
equipment.
In the midst of all the excite-
ment, Ragan said, "I'm ready to
go." * , . * i
The other faculty members of
the department have also express-
ed the same kind of enthusiasm.
Richard Garcia, Communica-
tions Instructor, said the depart-
ment has found community iden-
tity, which wasn't possible before.
It has also consolidated the
department, he added.
Senior Communications major
Stephanie Hultburg said, "with
communications becoming such a
growingfield,it is good to see that
Mercyhurst is showing growth

Faci Iity
Mark's acquisition as opposed
to the previously proposed ad-
dition onto Zurn Hall. *
"We lucked out," Nesbit
said. "We could never build
anything near this quality."
In fact, Nesbit continued,
the estimated value of the St.
Mark's facility is currently ap-
praised at $10-11 millionAas
opposed to the S3.2 million
which was the original cost of
the building in 1957.; S %
Que area where there are not
any recent expenses:is-in the
hiring jjof new personnel to
specifically handle St. Mark's.
But, Nesbit said, "probably
down the road we'll have to
hire j people,; we'll approach
that as the need develops."
$ Besides Nesbit,, all HRM and
music faculty members have
offices in St. Mark's, as well as
Catherine Anderson, Mer-
cyhurst Career Institute Pro-
gram Coordinator; Donna
Peterson, Program Specialist
for the: MCI; and Sjoy i.Mc-
Quillen, Nesbit's secretary.
The H o t e l - R e s t a u r a n t
Management Association and
the Top of the Hill Club are
also located there.
In addition, there are
classrooms for both the music
and HRM departments, prac-
tice rooms for music students,
a music library, and a campus
ministry office where Father

ing the St. Mark's cafeteria,
which will be open to -both
Mercyhurst students and the 23
seminarians currently studying
J
at St. Mark's.
Nesbit cited a "few minor
problems," such as parking,
the need for more phones, and
some confusion among
students on the opening days
of school. But, otherwise
"there is nothing major that
needs to be done/* he said.

:**I think everyone Takes the
facility. They,findthat it meets
their needs," he added. "I've
had no major [gripes ;from
faculty, students, or the
Diocese." &
The Diocese is, in fact,
pleased with the efficiency in
the change, according to
Nesbit; the* project is seen as
being very beneficial to both
parties. £
"Mercyhurst will provide
the seminarians with a host of
things; This• includes the
cultural atmosphere, an ex-
panded cafeteria selection, the
availability of music selections
in the library. They in turn,
will be giving us something- a
tense of humility. We are in a
seminary, a holy building and
there's a sense of serenity, » »
Nesbit said.
"This is a unique venture, »»
he continued. "If it works
well, it could be practiced in
other parts of the nation."

not attract from it."

MSG Renovating Music Rooms
To Create Video Gallery H
It's a new term, with a new
MSG president. The first MSG
meeting got underway Sunday,
September 11 at 7:30 p.m. •'
Dave Robinson, MSG presi-
dent, proposed that $1,400 be
spent renovating the old music
room in the basement of Zurn.
The room would be used to show
videos on the large screen TV pur-
chased last year. I r
According to the proposal, "it
would create an area to be used
specifically for showing video
movies and would alleviate con-
flicts which could arise from the
use of the Back Porch Cafe or the
Student Union."
Dr. Garvey has agreed to let the
room be used as a video room and
lounge. "If we show use, we tap
it," said Robinson.
Remodeling the room would
allow SAC to show more movies

Cisek is making a transisdon to

instructor. \
The Chemistry and Physics
Department will be joined by one
new full-time faculty member,
Michael Ferralli.
Ferralli will teach courses in
physics and mathematics*
Angela Elston* an assistant pro-
fessor in English and Modern
Languages,. will be joining the

Several Mercyhurst instructors
areTeturmrrg to the classroom this
fall after leaves and sabbaticals. *
Jamie Yule returns to the col-
lege:as Director of the,Human
Ecology^ Department. He will

acting director of the Department
during Yule's leave. ^?
Also returning are Frank
and Detmar Straub. Straub,

at a lower cost. A popular movie
costs approximately $500. The
same movie rented from a video
company would cost about $40.
Last week MSG made use of the
large screen and rented the movie
Animal House from American
Video.i However, they didS not
know they were violating
copyright laws at the time.
Apparently MSG is accused of
showing the movie for public
viewing. Sheila Delaney, MSG
treasurer said, "MSG is checking
9
into their rights. *
To avoid copyright violations,
MSG may have to pay $40 for the
use of the video as well as for
privileges to the copyright.
Delaney said it still would be less
expensive than paying $300 to rent
one film.
S Swank TV notified MSG and
told them they were violating the
Taking sabbaticals from the
faculty are Judy Wieczorek, Pete
Libra, Ed Gallagher and Vivetta
Petronio. Away on a leave of
absence will be Joy Kolb, who will
complete her graduate work, at
Bryn Mawr during the fall term.
Two other Ki n struct or s are not
returning to the college this fall
due to the discontinuation of the
Dental Assisting Program. Donna
Wood and Sandra Goring are now
re-employed in the dental field.
Limited teaching positions have
been filled in the Departments of
English and Modern Languages
and Religious Studies. Keiko
Miller will teach French courses
this year, taking over for Vivetta
Petronio. For the fall term,
Fulbright Scholar Eric"Borgman
will teach in the Religious studies
program. ,*
Finally, several new department
directors have been named,at the
college.

and Allied Health .Services. He
will also'.take over from .Don

*The Department of History and

position in the »Department- of

law. Swank TV was alerted to the
showing of Animal House when
they called the SAC Hotline.
Elimination of the tennis courts
and making them into a parking
lot, was another topic of discus-
sion. Mr. Kennedy, director of
student services, was asked why
this was done. He said, "we
found more people drove than
played tennis."
Robinson said the tennis courts
needed repair, but it was too cost-
ly. Instead of resurfacing them, a
parking lot was made. However,
the tennis courts at St. Marks
were supposed to be made
available to Mercyhurst students.
Delaney said they ,are not
available to Mercyhurst students,
but * the courts in the Campus
Center are still available for
students' use.
Largest Freshmen
Class Enters The 'Hurst
By Martha Camp
MERCIAD Assistant Editor
Boasting the highest average
SAT scores and a new Director of
Freshmen Studies, the largest
freshmen class ever to enroll at
gates last week to begin their col-
lege careers.
"They are one of the best
classes," said Andrew Roth,
fofcw -
%,
Andrew Roth
Director of Admissions, i * ,„
Although the class of 1987 has
fewer valedictorians and
salutatorians than the present
sophomores, Roth explained that
the change was deliberate.
"We intentionally reduced that
number," he said. "We decided it
w
was too much money being spent
on too few kids.""

Additional funds, he added,
were used for aid to upperclass
and financially needy students.
With 353 students, the class of
1987 was chosen from a field of
844 applications. Of those who
applied, 629 were accepted and
approximately half chose a Mer-
cyhurst education. 1
Declared majors in Business,
Criminal Justice, Hotel-
Restaurant Management and
Computer MIS comprise 41 per-
cent of the class. J
"From what I've seen on paper,
it's a good class," commented
Robert Pagny, who has replaced
Miriam: Mashank as Director of
Freshmen Studies.
And, it seems, his observation
is a valid one, with S3 Egan
scholars and! 12 val edict ori an-
salutatorians in the class.
Pagny, who holds-:a Master's
degree in counselling^from Gan-
non University, outlined his two
major goals for 1983-84 for The
Merciad.
Initially, he would like to take a
look at the entire orientation pro-
cess, in hopes of easing the transi-
tion from high school to college.
One aspect of the current program
that he would like to see modified
Is the testing-scheduling process.
He ' believes that freshmen
scheduling should-not take place
until placement test -tesults are
finalized. Currently, schedules
often have to be modified after
results are known.
In addition, Pagny hopes to
work very closely with faculty and
administration. "If freshmen
studies is going to work, it is going
to have to be a team effort of the
whole community."

Elaine Ruggerio.

new style of play to the Blue and

of the team. "I feel that our team
advantage is in attitude . . . the

optimistic Coach Ruggerio. "But,
