College phones Irish-Ameriteans about heritage
Phonathon concludes with record settingfyear
By Susan Marcy
Over one-hundred volunteers, a majori-
ty of them education majors, called
Irish-Americans throughout the coun-
try this past week to gather input for a
survey dealing with their ethnic
background.
£• Two thousand surveys were sent to
people of Irish descent living Fin the
United States to find out if they would
be willing to assist in a project which
would help the economic development
of Ireland. The purpose of the survey,
according to Mercyhurst College Presi-
dent Dr. William P. Garvey, "is to check
the level of support of the Irish-
Americans living in this country."
The whole project started, according
to an article in the "Erie Daily Times"
which appeared on February 17, when
Paddy Harte, a member* of the Irish
Parliament, stopped off in Erie in May
of 1984 on a tour of the United States.
Harte spoke at the "Good Morn in
^ oiid"* breaKt ast sen e* TaPMereytiorS
He was very Impressed with the col-
lege and also with the city of Erie.
Back in Ireland, Harte prepared a bill
for Parliament that included economic
development help from Irish-
Americans. Harte decided to use Mer-
cyhurst 1 College' as the means to
discover how much of an interest the
Irish-Americans had in <•their- mother
country. | l

Many students on campus will be

tender loving care or relaxation. On the

gathered their pennies to travel to the
sunny beaches of Florida. -jjL
One group of students - the men's
and women's crew team - are going to
Tampa, Florida for their annual spring
training trip. There will be approximate-
ly 50-60 team members going to exert
their energies. . *
Barry Miller, a first time Florida

forward to the trip. For 10 days the

Six days in Dublin, Ireland, returning
home to Erie dn February 4. In Dublin,
they discussed plans to attempt to in-
terest Irish-Americans in helping out
the needy people in Ireland.
Why was the survey done over the
phone? "That was the fastest and most
direct way of contacting the greatest
amount of people," Dr. Garvey said.
There'would also have been less of a
response if the survey had been done
completely by mall. ^ *

more and more positive each night.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The
following is the second and
final installment of an inter-
view conducted with Mer-
cyhurst Student Government
President, Patrick Songer.
What was|the most con-
troversial issue or issues of
the year? | ty, not just in the freshmen,
f That's tough Maybe .the
alcohol policy, but that wasn't
really a proposal and that was
all scuttlebutt.put if you take
those three issues away (year-
book, Capital Campaign,
calendar),you've taken away a
lot of the controversial sub-
jects. That was about it, there
really hasn't' been anything
earthshaking. | more of an interested part in it
There have been a few minor
complaints. One that comes to
mind is one that we just handl-
ed, the pet proposal. And also,
the few complaints we I get
periodically from residents
and that dealing with washers
and dryers, etc. Those were
really nuisance factors, not
major controversial issues.^'
^ | I'm not going to go out and
conduct a survey to see if we
should have two washers and
jdryer^n ever^ apftltofi taJfn
*you*take away those three, if
has really been a»mediocre
year, controversial-wise. That
has attributed to our low atten-
dance, too.* There's not a lot
going on besides those three.
You've given a lot of MSG
achievements, what about
some of the weaknesses that
you've felt have come up this
year?
I'll {break this down:
weaknesses, in what;• we've
done, weaknesses: in -the
government, weaknesses in
what we could have done. -
Weaknesses in the govern-
ment, I see, are really the loss
of, you can call it the awe, the
respect of; student govern-
ment. Freshmen? elections
really discouraged me.
When I was a freshman, I'd
say somewhere between six
and seven people ran and it
was an intense campaign.
They had campaign literature,
they went door-to-door, and
they made something of it and
three freshmen were elected. I
think it adds a lot to MSG to
have that many people in-
terested In It.
year as MSG
{This year's freshmen elec-
tions - I didn't see one cam-
paign poster or anything from
these and four people ran,
three were elected. They're
I good representatives! but I
think the intensity was lost.
That discourages me. Intenis-
but in some of the represen-
tative posts too.
It's coming down to a point
where I'm afraid that Mer-
cyhurst Student Government
is on its way down, possibly or
we just may be jn a lull. I'm
hoping that we're in a lull here
and thatf in future govern-
ments the students take much
because we do control |pur
funds. I mean, Garvey doesn't
come down and say, "Spend
this, spend this, spend this."
We control tour j funds. We
disemburse where we need it.
We choose activities. - |
I don't know if the students
realize the fact that they really
set proposals and they really
set activities themselves. It's
not some edict from above
that says, "Yes this will hap-
pen pfl sygft aiui suqfi ,a flfltgr
rniThbplngHhat nt'^mlsifif6P"
mation, but if it | is apathy
towards ^student government,
that's I what I'm probably
discouraged about the most.
As for the government itself,
I've really been discouraged,
not discouraged, perhaps
-dismayed, at^ the fact that
there really hasn't been a lot of
proposals broughten off the
floor. The three major pro-
posals, were really] self-
initiated by the officers and by
a few other people. t |
There have really not been a
lot of proposals off; the floor.
Or in other words, reps bring-
ing proposals down and say*
ing, "We have this idea for...."
The Video Room was a pro-
posal off the floor. The recrea-
tion equipment and the
Academic Honesties was
brought in off the floor. I really
haven't jfseen a lot j of rep-
brought literature and that's
probably the main
weaknesses I've seen in
government this year. Maybe
it's due to the fact that there
isn't a whole lot to do, maybe
It's not. •i '2
