Hurst Campus Center

nsion Underway
By Frances Moavero|
MERCIAD Human Resources
Ground was broken Monday
for the beginning of a three month
project to expand the Campus
Center.
The project, which is a part of
the five year plan, will cost the
college $250,000, according to
William P. Garvey, President of
Mercyhurst College. The money
will stem . from the student
building fund which each •student
pays annually.
Dr. Garvey said the Campus
Center expansion will include
Nautilus equipment, crew tanks, a
larger training room,^classrooms
and offices, .and a larger men's
locker room. r t
The addition of, these % new
facilities will "enrich the students'
health," Garvey said.
This project is not to solely
benefit the Mercyhurst athlete.
Rather, "it is to improve the
holistic health of the institution,"
he added.
Tony DeMeo, athletic director
of the Campus Center said, "the
addition will have a posi t ive affect
on the college because it will help
those students who are non-
varsity participants continue to
stay in shape or get more serious
about physical fitness."
The new facilities will be like a
s p a , G a r v'e y c o m m e n t e d .
However, the only difference will
be students won't have to pay to
utilize the equipment.
The weight room, located bet-
ween the men's and women's
locker room, will become an
athletic training room. This room
will benefit athletes who need the
® aid of the whirlpool or athletic
trainer. The present training room
will be used for an office.
A weight room, containing
pieces of Nautilus equipment will
be located in the Campus Center
addition,. According to Garvey,
ten more pieces of equipment
could be added, "depending on
the needs of the students." M
DeMeo said Nautilus equip-
ment is being installed because it
is much safer and a spotter is not
needed. f,
Also included in the expansion
will be a general physical fitness
room. This will be available to
students who want to exercise or
ride a fitness bicycle.
"The Campus Center addition
will be very visible," Garvey said.
The expansion will extend the
length of the Campus Center on
the north side. V
Students will be able to use the
new facilities upon the beginning
of fall term, Garvey concluded.

£ "It's just.a time before gradua-
tion when you can get together
with all of your friends," said
Maree-Lynn Cicon, a member of
the planning committee.
Other Senior Week committee
Week include, a wine and cheese
party on Monday, May 23, in the
Back Porch Cafe. The wine and
cheese party is being sponsored by
the Alumni Office, h
On Tuesday, May 24, it will be
Senior Night for all 'Hurst seniors
at the Junction. According to
Cicon, all Mercyhurst seniors will
receive special prices.
On Wednesday, May 25, a Bar
Hop is being planned.4The Bar
Hop will include trips to approx-
imately ten Erie bars. Some of the
bars that the seniors will venture
to are: Sherlocks, Olivers, Aunt
Mary's, The Stadium Lounge,
The Props Room, Antlers and
Wagners.
Cicon explained that there may
be a get-together for the seniors
on Thursday, May 26, in the Back
Porch Cafe. The get-together will
include food and drink for all
'Hurst seniors. It will be announc-
ed at a later date if the get-
together will definitely take place.
"All Mercyhurst seniors are en-
couraged to participate in Senior
Week," said Cicon. "It will be a
lot of fun," she added.
According to a faculty
survey, it is the prevailing opi-
nion at Mercyhurst to retain
William P. Garvey as the cur-
rent president.
These evaluation results
have been compiled from the
faculty, one of four groups be-
ing surveyed, according to Dr.
Barry Grossman, Chairperson
of the Faculty Policies
Committee.
"There were 48 responses
out of 71 full-time faculty
members ,' * explained
Grossman, who was in charge
of surveying the faculty. "Of
that response there was over-
whelming sentiment to retain
the President," he added.
The faculty survey consisted
of three questions: "What are
the president's strengths?
What are the President's
weaknesses? Do you favor his
retention as President?"
, Results from the J surveys
were compiled and only two
copies of the report were
created — one for the Board of
Trustees* and one for the
President.
"All the surveys were
destroyed,'' said Grossman.
"It's been the agreement of the
Faculty Policies Committee,
the President and the Board,
that it would not serve any
constructive purpose to discuss
publicly the perceived
strengths and weaknesses of
the President."
Nonetheless, Grossman did
reveal the general thrust of the
faculty responses.
With a majority of faculty
response in favor of retention,
Grossman said, "They inden-
tified certain areas they would
like to see changed.
"None of the weaknesses
identified were of wrongdo-
ing, Grossman said. "They
were more stylistic.
"There was no problem
whatsoever with his loyalty to
the, institution," Grossman
emphasized..
Results of the survey were
taken by the committee to Dr.
Garvey and explained. "1
thought the President was very
gracious," Grossman said.
Grossman said he believes
the fact that this survey was
even taken is a step in the right
direction for the college. "At a
lot of college campuses, it
wo.u 1 d n ' t h a v e b e e n
permitted."
Grossman said that he
believes that the President will
take the final report very
seriously, and will try to act
upon the suggestions it con-
tains. "We wanted to make a
very good president even bet-
ter," Grossman concluded.
Rape Crisis Centers
The Time To Act Is Now
Rape is a topic that most people don't like to discuss. But,
the time has come to recognize that a problem exists today
with Rape Crisis Centers.
Recently, the federal government has reduced Title XX
funds to the state, which in turn cuts funding for the Rape
Crisis Centers in Pennsylvania. ' I
The result of these cutbacks'will leave the Pennsylvania
Rape Crisis services with an $800,000 deficit. The bottom line
cut for the Rape Crisis Center in Erie is $35,000.
The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR) is trying
to get the money restored state-wide. You can help too, by
writing letters to the house and senate legislators, that there
needs to be a state allocation made to maintain the services.
Ironically, the state has increased the number of centers by
35 in the past 18 months, which is an 85 percent increase. Yet,
the state hasn't provided the funding needed to operate the
facilities. *
^ The director and founder of the Rape Crisis Center in Erie
is Joan Martin. She opened the center ten years ago because
the need for a center such as this arose in her family. Martin
didn't have anyone to turn to. So, she developed the agency
which also relies on volunteers.
Since the Rape Crisis Center's inception, people know they
can go there for help free of charge. The residents of Erie -AMD R £ M E M S E 1 » C L A S S O F » * 3 , . . . T H E O M U . V T W T N 6

In April of 1983, a total of 39 new cases were brought to the
center in just 30 days. This is proof that the services which ex-

By Matthew Dusk a
Did you ever get a paper back
from one of your professors who
hadn't written: "You should pro-
ofread your final draft.*'? I never
did. If you're like me, you pro-
bably rip the last page out of the
typewritA* three, hours before it's
due. After that last gallant effort,
you tend to drop dead in your bed
for those remaining three hours.
Believe me, if most of the profs
that I had, just experienced what I
did, they wouldn't even want to
look at the paper.* I have been
known to forget whole lines as the
night wears into the wee morning
hours.
The most commonly seen
machine in school is the manual
typewriter. Not any old kind, but
most probably the family
heirloom. You know, the one
your Aunt Martha used when she
went to college. It looks like a
m World War II relic that somebody
dug up somewhere in your
backyard.
- Typewriters are very much like
people. Each one has its own kind
of personality. My typewriter
likes to smear the ink all over the
.eraseable paper that I use. You
can't really do anything about it,
except try and erase the smudges
after you're done.
Another trick my typewriter
likes to pull is the sticking key.
The last paper I typed, I spent an
hour trying to bend my "n keyM

back into place so it wouldn't
stick every time I hit it.
My typewriter is simply a joy to
work with. The hand lever on the
left happens to be broken half of
the time and won't push the car-
tridge all the way over. This
makes my left hand margin look
like the right side. Besides this, the
roller likes to stick and slow down
when I get to the end of a line. So,
my letters start piling up on one
another until you look for a
mistake and find that you have to
erase the last half of the line that
decided to become a big black blot I MMfcruMik irv*e+J b 4wAi
instead.
The last trick my typewriter
likes to pull is the sliding around
trick. When you hit the lever to
return the cartridge the typewriter
tends to move to the right. So it
usually happens that you develop
a wrist problem from typing on a
machine that is always half a foot
to the right. '•'•
If this is not enough, the written
copy of my papers usually look
like ancient Babalonian writing I uglier «f • * 0^<MK^W*^ « * * . * ,

Competitors j Season Ends:

piocefirst
Members of the Mercyhurst
karate club recently participated
in a karate tournament and rank-
ing examination. The competition
was held in Ashtabula, Ohio, at
Kent State University Branch
Campus. It was sponsored by the
Lake Erie Karate Association.
Tim Tomczak captured first place
in the Kata (forms) competition,
while teammate Shawn Lichacz
won the Kumite (fighting) com-
petition. Next year the club will
enter a women's and men's team
in the Great Lakes Regional
Tournament.;
The ranking examination was
conducted by Mr. Greer Golden,
a fifth degree black belt of the In-
ternational Shoto Kan Karate
Federation. He is also the chief in-
structor for the Great Lakes
Region. The following club
members were promoted in rank:
Jo Wild (club president); Jean
Ny strom (club vice-president);
Tim T o m c z a k ( c l u b
secretary/treasurer); Keith
Walken and Ashley Billingsley;
After the examination, which
consisted of kihon (basic techni-
ques), KATA (forms), and
Kumite (fighting), Mr. Golden
commented that he was pleased
with the students' progress. He
stated that their performance in-
dicated a great deal of hard work
and dedication. He then noted
areas the students needed to im-
prove and suggested certain train-
ing methods to utilize. Finally, he
pointed out that testing for rank
was only an extension of regular
karate training, which has an
ultimate,goal not of victory or
defeat, but of perfecting the
character of it's participants.
The - club has* invited Mr.
Golden to present a karate clinic
at Mercyhurst during the 1983-84
academic year. The club will also
conduct;a course for beginning
students during the 1983 fall
semester. For further information

MERCIAD Sports Editor
Just as the Mercyhurst baseball
season began to come together
and play well, the season has
come to an end.
Over the past week, the Lakers
came out victorious in four of
their eight outings, including «a
double-header sweep lover
Allegheny College which capped
off the 1983 campaign.
The 'Hurst split a twin ball
against Youngstown State last
Thursday, winning the opener,
6-4 while dropping the second,
7-0. Rick Skonieczka was credited
with the decision in the first game.
"Mercyhurst entertained Thiel
Colleger during Saturday's ac-
tivities, and again, a split resulted.
Senior pitcher John Costello
went to the mound for the opener
and the Blue and Green came
away with a 3-2 victory.
After a costly defensive lapse in
the nightcap, the 'Hurst couldn't
overcome a Thiel lead, and a 7-6
loss was the result.
A two-game sweep on Tuesday
closed out another baseball season
at the 'Hurst, and the two depar-
ting seniors, Lou Alverio and
John Costello, sparked triumphs.
In the opener, behind the
superb pitching performance
turned in by Skonieczka, Costello
went three for three at the plate to
give the Lakers a 4-3 win.
However, the heroes were dif-

seven runs which the Lakers sent
