'Hurst Career Institute
NationalM Recognized
By Karen Merkle •
MERCIAD News Editor
While the nation's economic
worsen, the college is doing its
part to alleviate some of the
pressure through the efforts of the
Mercyhurst Career Institute.
Under the direction of John
for institutional advancement, the
program has helped or is currently
helping to educate about 150
unemployed Erie County
residents in fields where jobs may
be more abundant and their skills
can be put to better use.
I; These efforts have not gone un-
noticed.*The October 28 issue of
Higher Education and National
Affairs featured a page one article
entitled " Cam puses Still Working
So That Others May Have Jobs,"
which focused on the 'Hurst's
unique program to help, the
unemployed.
The story was in response to a
letter written by Nesbit,'question-
ing the publication for ignoring
the efforts of private institutions
in providing aid to those out of
work. «i »i £•*
In an earlier issue of the report,
it was cited that' 'community col-
leges are at the forefront of the
campus effort" to aid the jobless,
with many of them advertising
"free education." This in reality,
only results in a 30 percent reduc-
tion in the school's income,
Nesbit said, since educational
costs at, these institutions are
divided equally between the state,
the county, and the individual.

Other colleges, such as Gannon
University, are attempting to help
through counseling and testing,
but not; with any definite out-
comes, as with Mercyhurst's Cer-
tificate Program, Nesbit said.
"We 5 considered foremost
among those (projects) what Mer-
cyhurst College was doing,"
Nesbit added. "I just think it's
very noteworthy for our com-
munity to know we're doing
something unique on a national
level." % '.
The program is doing very well,
according to Nesbit. The next
nine-month course will end in
December,tand withHhat, about
70 more people will receives cer-
tification from the M.C.I. >•
He added that the students are
"motivated, determined" people
1
who were *"participating in the
American dream that turned into
a nightmare."
Hopefully, the nightmare will
end with the help of the college
and other outside financial
sources. Federal funds have been
allocated;; to help with the pro-
gram, but the minimum $250,000
is s4i 11 g o i n g t h r o u g h
"bureaucratic red tape," Nesbit
said.
"We'll be matching our train-
ing and education with the-needs
of business and industry," he con-
tinued, citing the benefits of new-
ly trained, hard-working people to
local companies. x
"Many of the things we do are
significant," Nesbit concluded.
."It'Sjr important to show that
private education is responding to
this need."

By Greg Yoko

Basketball Coach Bill Kalbaugh
described last Friday's exhibition
game between tMercyhurst and
Estonia as a "very satisfying
preliminary.*'
The Lakers controlled the pace
of the contest. Opting for their
running style of play, the 'Hurst
defeated thef 1982-83 Canadian
National Amateur Champions by
a 119-102 count. *
Kalbaugh was extremely pleas-
ed with the team's performance.
"Our shot selection was excellent;
this is evident by our 57 percent
shooting percentage. Our ball
movement was excellent. And on
defense, we outrebounded them
(Estonia) by 13.
"The only negative aspect of
the game was our overanx-
iousness. This caused us to com-
mit too many unnecessary fouls.
