McManamon: JIn the January 10 issue of the Merciad, Mr. IgorStalsky states in regard to the lack of intersessionevaluations turned in b y faculty members, "I suspectthat those facultymembers who may have gotten anegative response simply didn't turn in theirevaluations." Mr. Stalsky is erroneously concludingthat 70 percent of the intersession faculty receivedunfavorable eva luations. It is more probable that themajority of the intersession faculty found theevaluation form inappropriate f'nee 'it* partlyevaluated the teaching' perfornutnce of the ^instructors \ * \It is not within the province of the AcademicPolicies Committee to perform suchsan evaluation.Also, is is difficult to imagine how such informationcould b e used to ascertain whether o r n o t intersessionshould b e retained. Faculty members d i d n o t find theform to necessarily be "threatening" butmerely tobe irregular. \ ': \ IThe proper form should have only asked thestudent his or her feeling concerning the intersessionterm at Mercyhurst. It may jbe noted that ;theevaluation form was devised by a subcommittee ofthe Academic : Policies Committee and not \thecom mi ttee of th e whole.Sincerely, c* jEdward M .

The Lakers lost to Edinboro in a recent districtgame. T h e impact of this loss however wasn't felt atMercyhurst because Mercyhurst wasn't there. Oh-the o ld standbys were cheering b u t t h e backing of theschool-the students h ad better things t o d o .Why is it that Mercyhurst students weren't at thegame? There must have been a reason that keptMercyhurst away from that game while droves ofEdinboro fans made th e trek t o t h e Fieldhouse.Several reasons have been proposed, none of whichhold water:Lack of MoneyAttendance ft games for Mercyhurst students is free. tTransportation problemsRUS provides busing tohome games a t a minimal charge.First D a y BackInasmuch a s t h e first d a y o f classis usually of a "howdy-do-here's your syllabus"nature, homework couldn't have been a factor.Maybe students were too engrossed tin taking the

price ta g s off their ne w notebooks.Tuesday Night ClassesMany students had nightclasses. Surely a l l t h e school wasrft in class!!In short, I believe that the typical Mercyhurststudent would rather remain lethargic thaiwpar-ticipa te-in anything!!!Why should the College provide activities and yes,even a million dollar campus center when the mostpopular form of recreation lit Mercyhurst is complaining, "There's nothing t o d o ! ! " :If Mercyhurst won't root for MercyhurstWhowill???The "Pass-the-Buck>f-the-Week-Award goes tothe Tri-College Calendar Committee which deckledthat th e engaged Mercyhurst, Gannon an d Villa couldnot decide on common wedding dates and thereforeshould regress back to deeming if marriage isfeasible a t a l l .

Point/Counterpoint Part II

L A N A H A N SLastweek, on this page, th e Merciad presented thearguments of Mr. Igor Stalsky in favor of discontinuing I ntersession.This week, we present the arguments for keepingIntersession m ade by M r. Jam es Lanahan, Directorof Admissions. ^ ,% IMr. Lanahan feels that the central issue in theIntersession controversy is not Intersession, but theacademic calendar. "This", according to Lanahan,"is an even more critical issue, an d it's closely tied toIntersession. If Intersession is done awav with, amajor change in th e academic calendar willresult".The point of strongest disagreement between Mr.Lanahan a n d M r .

D E F E N S E K E E P I N T E R S E S S I O Nthat Intersession shold b e discontinued because it is a"money-loser". Mr. Lanahan feels that , if aprogram's ability to "make money" is its onlyqualification for existence, then many programs,even divisions, would pass out of existence. Lanahanpointed out that many programs injthe acedemic,social, and spiritual areas of the college "losemoney" but are very essential for the overall experience of the students, "After* all ," Lanahanstressed, "why are we here?" We are here for thestudents, and it w e lose sight of that, w e might a s wellnot be here a t a l l . " * ':% 1Lanahan agreed that a balanced budget is important to the college, but he did not feel that thecontinuation of Intersession would mean a tuitionhike. H e pointed ou t that Intersession lost less moneythis year than th e loss of th e previous year, an d notedthat some of that loss was offset by the interest thecollege earned on the Intersession tuition, which ispaid three months in advance.Another strong point of disagreement was Mr.Stalsky's inference that students quit school becauseof the seven week period that students w h o don't takeIntersession spend away from the college. Lanahansees the situation differently"Some students learnafter on e term that college just isn't for them, an d forthis reason they leave. If we replace Fall term andIntersession with a four course semester, then all wewill have accomplished is forcing these kids to stayo n f o r seven more weeks an d spend $200.00 more."Mr. Lanahan objected strongly to Mr. Stalsky'sstatement that Intersession was "academicallyworthless". H e pointed ou t that th e Carnegie Report,the Newman Report, and the Chronicle o f HigherEducation all have emphasized course approachessimilar to those utilized by our Intersession courses.While h e agreed that there were some problems with

course quality an d overcrowding, h e felt that "even ifonly on e Intersession in four years w a s fantastic, thenthe program was worthwhile, for it presentedsomething new and? different". \ Lanahan alsodiscounted the idea that Intersession was worthlesson the grounds that it wasn't taken advantage of byall th e students. "Just because only 2 0 p e r cent of th estudent body goes to see a play, does that make itworthless? Again the question comes back to ourmain reason for being herethe students. If we canoffer something that some of the students can use,then th e program is worthwhile."Even for those who don't take part in an Inter*session course, according to Mr. Lanahan, theIntersession period is worthwhile. Some people don'tparticipate in Intersession because they neea to earnsome monev to stay in school. Eliminating Inter*session would deprive students of the opportunity todoso. ^ > i JMr. Lanahan felt that the proposed 4-3-8 calendarwhich would replace the present 3-1-3-3 program,were Intersession killed, would pose a new set ofdifficulties. Although students would only take twocourses a day, the ong classes and classroom spacelimitations would mean more courses at odd hours,such as 8 : 0 0 a.m. a n d 4 :0 0 p . m . Students would r u n agreater chance of having three or more hours between their classes. This would b e very difficult for aday student or someone who wanted to hold a part-time jo b off campus. ,Mr. Lanahan feels that if the question of Intersession werep u t t o a vote today i n t h e College Senate,and all student Senate members were present,Intersession would survive. "Students support theIdea of Intersession stronglycheck th e results of theQuestionnaire last Springwe must work to maketh e Intersession program better".

In the early 1920's when the Sisters of Mercy announcedthe site wh ere the ir new college would be built, a few Er ieresidents felt that th e "good Sisters must have taken leaveof their senses". The new college site was a seventy-fiveacre piece of farmland overlooking Lake Erie an d frontingon a muddy unpaved roa d referred to as 38th "st ree t".

At that time, the built-up limits of the City of E rie were a t26th St., some twelve blocks north of the new college site.The next fifty years showed that th e Sisters had betterforesight than that group of Erie residents. The Erie areawould grow outward and swallow up the Mercyhurstcampus, but that growth did not happen immediately. F o rits first twenty years, Mercyhurst was pretty much alone inits par t of town. *

On Erie* industry that suffered greatly during th eDepression years was the construction industry. After aboom in the late 1920's, many a builder found himselfwithout an y work. In 1932, when a donation by the O Neilfamily made it possible to build the Chapel of Christ theKing, Mother Borgia, of the Sisters of Mercy, declared thatonly construction workers from Erie should work on theproject, thus temporarily relieving th e suffering E rieconstruction industry. 5Another interesting Depression-era prote ct a t Mercyhurstwas th e construction of the Grotto. At that time, th e nunsoperated a soup kitchen at the college, which drew largenumbers of people. Many of the people who were fed by thesoup kitchen insisted on doing some work in return for theirfood. Through the supervision of the priest who designed it ,the Grotto took shape, stone by stone, th e product of*thelabors of many unemployed artisans. Stones had beengathered from a radius of many miles from the college, andbrought one by one to the Gro tto site. In 1934, the Grotto wasdedicated. * 5 & v

L A K E R S E A S O N A N A L Y S I S"Mercyhurst is nearing thehalfway point in thebasketball seaso n and there'smuch to discuss and analyzein order to prepare for thestretch run for the,N.A.I.A.playoff berth.We're 9 and 3 at thiswriting. Not bad, but notindicative of our talent, theteam's attitude, or the real

strength of four, program. Ofcourse I'm biased, 'but wehave the talent to be undefeated. When the Lakersplay as a team, each memberdome what he does best, theresult is devastating. AskWest Georgia, I believethey'll agre e. '.To see Steve Albert andcheer Bobby Repko when he'son the floor ana vice versa isonly a trace of how the spiritis on the stem. Both areprominent members of theteam and vying for thestarting forward position. Therest of the talented bunch,guys who know they can playand are hungry to get in, arethinking of the team first andcheering the players as loudas anyone. I guess what thismeans, in overworked sportsjargon, is that we have agreat attitude. This attitudetakes quite a burden offCoach Fox's shoulders thisyear. . JConcerning thel overallprogram, I think I can safelysay Mercyhurst is richer thanever before. While Coach Foxstill hold the reins, the addition of Coach Markey hasbeen quite an asset. His easygoing manner and basketballknowledge has been felt on theteam. Steve Brandon offers

the contrast that makes thisyear's coaching staff the bestwe'v e had in o ur' shortbasketball history;So what is a 9 and 3 recordindicative of, if we have .''thetalent, the attitude andcoaching? Well, reaslisticallyenough, that r ecord Ireflectsour play, and those threelosses are the flaws that markan otherwise perfectDiamond. What. I mean is,that while every thing elsemay have been perfect inthose losses, there is alwayssomething that leads to animperfection or loss. What'sfrustrating about Mercy-hurst's loss is that it's impossible t o pin-point the flaw,except to say we (blew ourcool. It'd be pretty easytosay wecan't win the big one. but webeat West Georgia, Fairmontand Wheeling the three bestteams the Lakers played;No, I think?it's more of anindividual breakdown in goingover our three losses. Mentallapses and mistakes and anoverall lack of "Killer instinct" seem to set in not onlyinour losses, but evena few ofour victories that should havebeen runaways.The Slippery Rock disasternow seems to be an annualevent and there's no one evencommenting onit. But Gannonand Edinboro were like Deja-Vu, or indentical nightmares.In both contests we opened bigleads midway through thefirst half and hung on to gointo the locker room with aslim lead. I don't know whatgoes in .he locker room, butagain in both games we came

by Garrett Kenilworlhout;colder than a penguin'sfanny feathers and its dogfight to the end. This evenhappened in our victory overClarion, so we can't blame iton the Boones' Farm Crowdat Gannon or the hot shootingof Edinboro.I think it's important toconsider these facts becausewe are Just now entering thetoughest pai t of the season,and we can't! win followingthis pattern.The individual lapses thathitf | everyone, Y usuallyseparately. Carl Jones, asuperstar this year, was coldagainst Edinboro. We lost by Sas they shot 70 per cent thesecond half. Curt Hixonseems to be a step slow whichis telling on his defense, buthis shot is still sw eet ana he'sgoing to be a factor in thevictory run. Mike Molnov isthe biggest suprise of theseason with hi s\ sure ballhandling, and beautiful higharching shot. I'll' bet newishes he had another one onone against Gannon in the lasttwo minutes though. JessCampbell is playing great; byconventional standards, butnot for him . He hasn't lookedgood since the Delaware;ame, and the reason is thatle is not doing what he doesbest;i wheeling and dealing,and going to the hoopaggressively, and: seems toplay defense in spurts. He'sgetting his points every game,but of a lot of hoops could bethree point plays. Anotherproblem is that forward spotwhere Steve Albert and BobRepko are fighting it out.Rep. is doing great and

deserves to be playing. Thefate of this season, i believe,depends on whether Albertcan return to form. Albert atfull strength can turn a gamearound offensively anddefensively. He can take thepressure off Jesse, who isalways being double teamed.But Steve's problem isn'tphysical anymore, it'smental. He proves iteveryday in practice.

Mike Molnar goes in for the rebound at Behrend game.The Laker basketball teamcame close once again lastweek against Edinboro'sFighting Scots.
