Fisher emphasized that

the -.interview by saying that
college students shouldn't feel
that they deserve* any special
legal sanctions because they are
college students. They should be
treated like others, not in college.

was he involved with the raids? \ Garvey stated thakMercyhurst
In order |to answer these won't;; take any? action until the
questions and |others, I in- civil authorities have made a
terviewed Mr. Fisher, Director of decision on the matter.
In the past few weeks, there has
been considerable stalk cir-
culating on campus concerning
President^ Nixon's proposed
budget for 1973-74, that contains
provisions for cutbacks in
federally ; funded jj education.
However, according to Sister
Barbara, financial aid director,
cutbacks in these programs are
at the present time only
speculative.
Sister Barbara pointed out that
in 1972, Congress proposed? and
passed >.a new federal grant
program which designated the
Basic Opportunity Grant (BOG).
The BOCLalong with the three
presently existing programs-the
National Direct (Defense)
Student vLoan (NDSL), the
Educational Opportunity Grant
(EOG), andftne Work-study
program, comprised the federal
government's education bill for
the 1972-73j year. ^President
Nixon's I proposed budget,
however, eliminates all but the
newly instated BOG. I semester.
Sister Barbara views the
situation as a switching of
programs. She explained that;if
the programs are not refunded,
the BOG would replace the EOG,
federally 'insured loan would
replace the NDSL. The third
program, work-study will most
likely remain intact. Due to an
increase of 500 universities and
colleges initially applying for lit

this year, the college will
probably receive less money. $
5If this elimination of programs
.occurs, there will be a definite
effect on Mercyhurst, where
statistics show that at present 275
students are on work-study, 120
are receiving NDSL, and 78 are
receiving EOG. In addition, in-
coming freshmen will be af-
fected; thus, a letter from the
Financial Aid office j explaining
the school's proposals was sent
out. The letter stated that each
student would receive an
estimated financial aid package
including the existing programs.
If these programs are eliminated,
other alternatives, the BOG and
the state guarnateed loan, might
be I open but the estimate of
proposed aid will hopefully
remain relatively stable in either
case.*j| !; *
When asked what compensation
Mercyhurst might offer, Sister
Barbara said that the college
would attempt to supply her with
some increase in institutional
funds. If the necessary funding in
federal programs is not definite
by this summer, Mercyhurst will

DRUGS andlDISTRUST.
Question
of Conscience
by Al Messina
Another change has occurred at Mercyhurst. No it's not the ad-
dition of an athletic team or a change in the curriculum. This time it
is a change in the operation of the Mercyhurst security department,
a department which has become increasingly professional in the
last year. Perhaps too professional.
At this point it's not startling news that security director James
Fisher's name appeared on the search warrants which resulted in
the arrest of several Mercyhurst students on drug charges.
Everybody seems to know. Yet it is still important to ascertain why.

In an interviewfwith Fisher, he'stated that he provided in-

formation to state and local police at their request. He stressed the
f: fact that he didn't take the initiative; they came to him for the in-
formation. % ' HjF %
Fisher also statedfthat in his legal opinion he had sufficient
evidence in each individual (residence) case to insure the probably
cause necessary for a warrant. The question that immediately
comes to mind is this: why didn't he go to the police with the in-
formation? Did he have to wait for their request? By temporarily
withholding the information, Fisher is at least in a moral sense
guilty of complicity.
/
Fisher is likely to reply that since these students lived off campus
it wasn't his position to take the initiative. Another question comes
to mind. What about the commitment professionally and as a citizen
to uphold the law, a commitment Fisher spoke of emphatically in
the interview? There seems to be a contradiction. * The only publicity Mercyhurst seems to receive is that of a
positive nature. Yet for people to fully understand the nature and r 1973-74 m

As long as we're throwing out
accoloders, the Mercyhurst
Lakerettes deserve some
recognition. The girls closed out
their season with a victory over
arch-rival Villa Maria. Coach
Janet Price did a One Job with the
Lakerettes. She had only six
players to work with and had to
wade through a very difficult
schedule. Seniors Marlene Smith
and Nancy Zidonis played their
last games in a Mercyhurst
uniform. Gerry Sica, Mary
Drummond, Pat Voigt and Terry
Carr will all be back next year as
the footing for a strong Lakerette
lunch.
