VOLUME NUMBER 5 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10,1985 Coll ege Senate agenda await ing full membershi p By Betsy Lantz Three positions on the standing commit tees of trie Mercyhurst College Senate must be filled by student volunteers before the Senate can proceed with discussion on various submitted proposals. Five positions for non-senator students were available this fall, interested volunteers were asked to fill out applications for review by the Agenda Committee. Only two of the five posts available to non- senator students have.been filled, according to Senate President Dr. Lew Lutton. "i t may be that the students are feeling like there just Is no point In this, but if you take the view that this is advisory and we're simply trying to let people know how we feel, then that should take some of the frustrations away," Lutton said. Composed of faculty, administration and students, the Senate provides leadership, guidance, assistance and advice to the col- 1 Trustees. "We problem is that if a teacher in the Senate was given the power to select student senators, violations could occur. For example, that teacher could favor a particular student." j * Proposals that will be up before the Senate once it begins deliberation this academic year, according to Lutton, include the possible formation of a Library Commit tee to establish a formal communications link between the library and the people who use it. Senate also plans to discuss proposals concerning fraternities, which will first be considered^ by the Campus Life Committee. J - ; The Academic Policies Committee will address grading policy concerns. These will include proposal from ^Academic Dean David Palmer. concerning the pass-fail system and a faculty member's recommendation that minus grades be added to the present grading scale. $ 9 Last year Senate passed a proposal Lutton said.

A student's high schoolgraduation is often fol lowedby their enrollment in college.Young adults tend to havehigh expectations at this pointin their l ives. Although theyhave high expectations manycollege freshmen often experience loneliness.
Robertj Pagni, director ofFreshmen Studies, says thereare no real signs of loneliness.Often students cannot pinpoint particular reasons whythey don't l ike school; theyjust do not feel right. They maysimply decide that they don'tlike being at school and wantto go back home.
Surveys done by researchers at the University ofNebraska-Lincoln have ind i c a t e d m u c h o f th eloneliness experienced by college freshmen stems fromstudents being "uprootedfrom their family supportsystems and life-long friends."
Students who f i t into atypical loneliness pattern arethose who have much moretime on their hands than theydid in high school. They havegotten into the habit of goingto classes then going back totheir room and studying. Afterstudying they find nothing leftto fill the gap.
^hQLiar^ t r^prob l e rn o ff r es h me h Io n e I ne s s Tsserious, there are some simplesolutions. Any students whoexperience loneliness shouldtry and get Involved in campusactivities such * as SAC andstudent government . Thestudents don't necessari lyhave to become actively involved but should just go to
meetings to m eet and talk withothers. J - | |
Studies done by Pagni andthe Of f i ce o f F reshmenStudies have shown thatstudents who live more than150 miles from the campus aremore-apt to transfer to col
leges closer to home.Since Mercyhurst is considered a "suitcase" collegemany freshmen ease theirloneliness by going home onweekends. Although this mayalleviate temporary lonelinessI t also tends to Isolatestudents further, since manyactivities take place over theweekend. This is one reason
why parents at freshmenoreientation are encouragedto have students stay on campus for the first few weekendsof school.j& l^sfe
E v e n t h o u g h m a n yf r e s h m e n e x p e r i e n c eloneliness, it is important to
keep in mind that others arelonely as well . Unfortunately,transfer students do not attend orientations, which provide excellent opportunities tomeet people. ?
So if you find you are lonelyt a l k t o s o m e o n e . T h eFreshmen Studies Office andCampus Ministry are alwaysthere to lend an ear. ' *?

One of my greatest impres
sions about the people ofChina Is how friendly, warmand accomodating they are.They would go ou t of their wayto be helpful, wanting verymuch to be of service.
On one occasion I had oneof my teachers write a note inChinese for me stat ing that Iwanted to go to the ShanghaiZoo by bus. The note indicatedwho I was and the numbers oft he s pec i f i c bus es «andtransfers I needed to take. Thefirst 45 minutes of my adventure was f ine. I was able to findand board the second of threebuses without assistance. Ishowed my note to the busgirl , one of three conductors
on our crowded bus. (Busesare Jam-packed, body againstbody.) She indicated shewould tell me where to makemy next transfer.
After about 40 minutes, Iwas concerned that she hadforgotten about me so I showed my note to a man who indicated I should get off at thenext stop. When I started todfeembarl<r%dm*eorTe "Grabbedmy arm and half of the peopleIn unison said, " N o $ " They allknew that I was going to the

I knew that my next busstop was several blocks away.As I tried to get my bearings,the two young men appearedon either side of me a n d "walke d " me through alleyways andbuildings to the next stop. Aswe arrived at this major artery,I saw what looked l i kethousands of people in aqueue waiting to take the busto the zoo. The two men walked me past the mass of peopleto the head of the linelThey introduced me to the six busguard s* as an importantAmerican visitor.-r The guards got involved in aheated argument. I judged thathalf of them were saying that Ishould go to the end of theline (which I was only too willing to do), while the other halfInsisted that I receive specialtreatment. I was treated as aguest and put on the first busby myself. As soon as" I.wasseated the bus took off withonly me aboard. I was embarrassed to say the least!
The bus stopped one blocklater and quickly filled tocapacity. When we arrived atthe zoo, I was busy eyeing thefood stands and checking mymoney when the same twomen who had placed me'onthe bus magically appeared
and took me by the arm to thezoo entrance. While I'got Inline?to purchase my ticket,

My trip to the Shanghai Zooon a Sunday was a terriblemistake because it appearedas though all of Shanghai andhalf of the people from the surrounding countryside musthave been there. Instead oflooking at the an imals, peoplestared at me. ~
They would watch carefullyto see how I would react to theantics of the monkey, the roarof the lion and the behavior ofthe adorable pandas. If I smil

At that z o o , one teenagedboy was following me as Iwalked from one exhibit toanother. Instead of watchingwhere he was going, he watched me and fell off a ledge into
a muddy area. Actually I had tobe careful not to look at people on bicycles and distract
them or they would stare atm e , resulting in a chain reaction of bicycle accidents.~£ ^
AOne afternoon I stopped ona street corner to buy somespring rolls (a type of egg roll)from a street vendor. (It is onlyrecently that the governmenthas allowed this type of venture to return to the streets ofChina.) The lady was delightedwith my order. I ordered twospring rolls but she thought bythe two fingers I held up that Ihad ordered 1 1 . By the time myorder waslprepared, the area
became so crowded with people watching me that apoliceman had to come 3 todirect traffic and disperse the
crowd.The poor woman didn't getany business from the crowdthat gathered. They simplywatched * m e to see if * theWesterner would like "streetfood." When my facial expression indicated my pleasure,the crowd applauded withgreat delight. ^ *
Being an'education professor, I was excited about theprospect of visiting 1
Chineseschools and universities. Priorto going to China, I attemptedto make all the necessary arr angem en t s r'to v is i t theequivalent of our elementaryand secondary schools, alongwi th teacher t raining \ in
stitutes. I was assured that mym:-vK-
fmauy applaud wnybenavioM*
specific requests would behonored. Naturally I repeatedmy requests once I settled inat the Institute. As my lastweek in Shanghai approached,I became very annoyed and in
s i s t ed v e ry f i rmly t ha tsomething had to be done.
I was taken to an elite middl e school;by my guide, XiPing. The dean of the schoolaccompanied us to visit anEnglish class. It was obviousthat the children were therefor one purpose*- to masterEnglish. The story they werestudying was about ThomasAlva Edison - not Edison theInventor but Edison the boy.The story related how Edisonwas pub licly. canned by hisfather and howj humiliatingcanning would be.
The Chinese teacher wasvery capable and had a goodgrasp of English grammar,
although she did Indicate that"chuckle" means to "wriggleyour nose." I was not allowedto interact with the students,nor was I ever alone with anyteachers. The dean!of theschool stuck to me like glue.
I decided to take ma tters into my own hands and dosomething about the refusal ofthe Chinese to arrange any additional school visits for me.The next day I marched on myown into the compound of aschool I had seen in mytravels. Naturally I was stopped by the guard at the gate.(Each building seems to have
| a gatekeeper to monitor whogoes in and out of an area.)
The gatekeeper didn't speakpany English and started to turname away when a little girl appeared. She motioned for me
"to wait. She raced through thecourtyard to get the English
| teacher. With the help of the{English f teacher, I made ar
rangements to return the nextday to observe classes andtake pictures. I was the first
^foreign visitor the schoo l everh a d . * • * * * * *
When I returned the nextday, I was very nervous notknowing what wou ld await me.Would I be welcomed by acommittee of teachers or thepolice? I was met by a combination of the tw o. My recep
tion was very cool. The headmaster and unit party leaderscrutinized my passport andother forms of identification.They seemed upset that myvisitj~was not officially sanct ioned; however, I was permitted to stay.
After many cups of tea andmuch formality, I was taken toobserve a fifth grade Englishc lass. The c lasses weredelightful. The children ap-|plauded Jwhen I entered theclassroom.' I ^applauded inreturn. -
The classroom was .very jneat and clean. The childrenwere well-behaved and very attentive. They were neatlydressed. All wore a red ker
chief and a red armband.. After observing one class, Iwas permitted to teach a second class. The children hadtrouble unders tanding my|American accent. They wereas delighted with me as I waswith their response to my visit.Actually the entire school wasin an uproar as all the childrenand theirl teachers in otherclassrooms rushed to the doorto see the American.
jy* I went back a third t ime, taking my roommate, Wilson Um ,who speaks Chinese. Thistime ^the administration was
much more relaxed. To their pleasure they had half of the 800 students rto the courtyard to pe rforexercise routine and drim e . I was told to stand onsecond floor balcony to rethe program. I felt likgeneral reviewing the troEveryone wanted me to their picture, including adults. }• }

Brooks ignites hisscenes with a tension that youcan feel. In the books, Hawk ismore interesting than Spenserbecause "you're never surewhat his next move will be.That same ^atmosphere isperfectly transferred to t thesmall screen.
The plots of both the booksand the show are secondary tothe characters. The televisionshow doesn't go for complex,deep storylines but for simpleones, l ike kidnapping andmurder, that demonstrate howSpenser will handle the situation.
