who has been called "America's

said the idea of forming an ad-

came from a meeting between Dr.

When Pavarotti was mentioned as
a I possible board member, she
said, "we really didn't know if it

Risk: It More 9

Risk. I I 1
"The possibility of loss or injury; a hazard."
The opportunity for taking a risk arises in our life often, but, The next Merciad staff meeting will be held* on
all too often, these risks are overlooked or rejected. Why? Risk
carries with it an element of failure. Perhaps we will not succeed

at what we do. Perhaps we will make fools of ourselves or put
our {foot in our mouth. It is this fear" of failure that prevents
many of us from doing things that will change the status quo.
We look at change as an enemy, instead of an opportunity for
growth. Yet, although risk may bring about a possible failure, it
may also end in a new achievement. Anyway, what's wrong with
a little failure? It keeps us humble and teaches us something.
This week, 12 people are taking the risk of placing themselves
before the students or tins institution in an attempfto become^
their government voices. These* people are taking £ the risk of
steppingi out of their ordinary routines and challenging
themselves ito become something different - a campus leader.
Why are they doing this? It is out a of a concern for the Mer-
cyhurst Community, it is out of a desire to initiate change, it is
out of willingness to change themselves. These people, whether
they win or lose, are going to reap the benefits of risk - meeting
new people, gaining self confidence, learning more about Mer-
cyhurst Student Government and even perhaps learning
something about themselves.
Running for office is not for everyone - government is not a
talent that all people possess. Yet, everyone has the ability to
reap the rewards of risk. How? In regards to this election, take

Pat Reed
Dear Students,
In?seeking the office of Vice-
President of MSG I have several
things in mind. One being to cease
concentrating on budget or
"Polar Bear" nights andL Pizza
Socials and concentrate entertain-
ment more on things that are ap-
pealing to the whole student body.
For instance, most schools of our
size run at least one major concert
every year, something
c
that Mer-
cy hurst does not do. There are
many ways that the Student
Government can be improved and
cover more than Activities
Weekend and weekly meetings.
Having been a representative for
one year andjtaken a trip to
Cleveland and become familiar
with! a larger school's student
government, I feel I have the abili-
ty to assume the role of Vice-
President.
Thank you,
Pat Reed «- ^
tioned gentlemen, with their
decidedly distinct qualities and
stances, have at least one similari-
ty. They are all politicians with
"campaign promises."
You're probably wondering, if
you've bothered to read this far,
"What in the heck is she talking
about? Why doesn't she get to the
fcoint?" Well, in 1984, Americans
will be deciding on whom they
want to lead them for the next
four years. They will f base'.this
decision on what each candidate
says - what he promises to do for
the people of the U.S. This may or
may not seem related to the
M.S.G. officer elections. I think it
is. All elections have just that in
common. Promises made to get
votes. The 1984 M.S,G, elections
will most likely follow suit.
I have- learned that campaign
promises are often broken. More
often than not this* is uninten-
tional. Yet, it's true. I have served
during the 1983-84 school year as
Secretary of M.S.G. During this
year I have learned a great deal -
about how the governemnt runs,
how it can run , about working
with people and what its like to be
in a position to serve:others. I
consider this a year well spent, a
valuable experience. Above all, I
believe that experience is the key
ingredient in making a good
leader. Promises of what I plan to
do for you mean little. Experience
speaks for itself. Yet, in a sense, I
am a politician of sorts. As such, I
feel obliged to make at least some
kind of promise. If I should make
any, it would simply be to try to
serve and help the students of this
campus in the best way that I am
able. On March 28 and 29 you will
decide on next year's leaders. 1

To The Mercyhurst Student Body,
HI! My name is PAT
CALLAHAN and I am requesting
your vote for Student Govern-
ment Vice-President. Being an of-
ficer for the Student Government
is a big responsibility, which I can
fulfill. In order to have success in
any organization you need to

is establishing a set of goals which

To the Mercyhurst Community:
I would like to introduce
myself, my name is Matt Whelan
and I am running for the office of
Vice-President of the Mercyhurst
Student Governemnt. I have two
years J experience in Mercyhurst
Student Government as an alter-
nate representatvie for Bryan
Doherty, the Criminal; Justice
representative. This year he and I
are running on a campaign i to
make Mercyhurst more fun. We
think this is what you, the Mer-
cyhurst Community deserve.
TBE'WERCIAQ
I plan to implement both of these
objectives. %
Establishing a good working
relationship between the officer
core and! the Mercyhurst Com-
munity (Government, Student
Body, and Administration) is a
part of the organization which I
spoke of earlier. In order to
establish this "Sense of Organiza-
tion," you need a person with a
vivacious personality. Being ac-
tively involved in the Mercyhurst
Community for the past two
years, I feel qualifies me for the
position.
The Vice-President position can
be a vital part in strengthening the
Public Relations of Government.
If elected, I would like to create
an MSG Newsletter, much like the
same* Newsletter which I created
with SAC this year. I would also
like to see a speciel project, in the
form of a big name band or come-
dian come to Mercyhurst. Striving
to {pursue such goals, gives any
organization a sense of unity, pur-
pose and reward.
As Vice-President, ISwould be

but witrr SAC and the Senate.
What I am trying to do is make
t he Vice-Presidency a more active
rolejso that you people get the
most out of a government that is
l a n
supposedly working for you.
v At this point I would like to ex-
plain our campaigns very briefly.
Bryan Doherty and I are running
for Student Government because
we both feel that Mercyhurst Col-
lege could be much more fun if
the right people are elected. We
both feel we are the right people.
Our campaign will be centered
around more student activities.
We do not want people to have to
go home on weekends ? because
there is nothing to do at*Mer-
cyhurst (again)! \ * Let us work for you so we can all

serving as a Student Senator. A
person serving in this position
needs! to be a person whom
students can approach easily, with
the feeling that something will be
said or done about their problem.
I AM THAT PERSON, that per-
son people can approach, and as
Vice-President, I will make the
problem jof any student, my
problem.
I can help Student Government
grow in many ways and make it
more efficient. In addition, I want
to make MSG an organization
which people can respect. I feel I
can accomplish this through the
goals I stated earlier.
I am most sincere in my reasons
for running for Vice-President of
MSG. But beyond all that, the ut-
most reason as to why I am runn-
ing is my concern for the Mer-
cyhurst College student, It is this
concern that keeps me striving, so
as to make the student^well^in-

RA Selection Process
To) Beg in Next Week*
The 1984 resident assistant
selection process will be underway
Monday, March 26. At this time
students can pick up an applica-
tion from the office? of Phyllis
Aiello, director of housing and
safety.
Interviews will be conducted on
Tuesday, April 3, through Thurs-
day, April 5. According to Aiello,
interviews will be conducted in
groups to allow the senior R.A.'s
the hall directors an* opportunity
to take part in the selection
process.
Group interviewing also pro-
vides the panel with a personality
profile in regards to their relation-
sip with others and how they
perceive themselves.
Various qualities are essential
to obtain the position of an R.A.
First of all, Aiello said, all paper
work must be handed in on time.
An application along with three
recommendations from a teacher
from the applicant's field of
study, a peer and another faculty
member or administrator must be
Jobi Panic Strikes Seniors
r (CDNS)—At college campuses
all across the nation, graduating
seniors are in a state of panic. It's
diploma time, and there are still
no jobs waiting for them at«the
end of May.
S The reality is sinking in. Four
years of education, four years of
classroom and financial struggles
to suffer through, and all for
what? To be placed upon the rolls
of the unemployed of America.
Recruiting on campus is down
substantially over previous years,
and fields that looked promising
when today's seniors entered col-
lege are now hiring fewer
graduates. The economy may be
in an upswing, but you can't tell it
yet from the hiring of most major
corporations. Some industries
that are showing signs of reboun-
ding, such as (he housing market,
do not really offer much in the
way of prospective employment
for a senior with a degree in
business. But then, hopes are that
the recovery will start spreading to
many more industries.
The highest starting salaries of-
fered to graduates will continue to
be in J the engineering field, with
computer science running a close
second. Education and liberal arts
majors are expected to be offered
the lowest salaries.

submitted prior to the interview.
Honestly, * flexibility and one's
morality are other traits which an
applicant must possess, Aiello
stated. I
An? adequate ?grade point
average must be maintained in
order to meet the duties of an
R.A., she added.- "I can't lose a
person in the middle of the year
because of grades."
Once a student is selected as an
R.A., many duties and respon-
sibilities accompany the position.
"An R.A.Jmaintains the safety,
welfare sand discipline of the
residents," Aiello said: At the
same time, an R.AJis a sister, a
brother, aunt, uncle iand con-
fidante, she added.
The duties of an R.A. who
reside in the dorms as opposed to
an R.A. in the Mercyhurst Apart-
ments do differ. An R.A. in the
dorms deals with a much younger
population and therefore they re-
quire more counseling. R.A.'s are
on duty from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m.
Apartment R.A.'s rarely see
With the competition! of jobs
being so fierce, graduates will
need to do a lot more research and
planning before job hunting.
Making a good impression on the
interviewer is jmore important
than ever, since the interviewer
will have more candidates to
chose from for fewer jobs.
It is not a good idea to mail out
hundreds of resumes. Your
resume gets lost in the shuffle of
daily mail, and may not even

Wins Last Three
Men By Greg Yoko
J
The Mercyhurst Lakers closed out
the 1983-84 basketball campaign
with three consecutive vistories to
finish the year with a 15-12 slate,
the first winning season since the
1978-79 outing.
Third-year coach Bill Kalbaugh
and his troops went 12-7 after
Christmas break to turn around a
sour 3-5 start.
g Tough losses in the second half
to LaRoche, Gannon, and Edin-
boro were made easier to swallow
with victories > over Clarion,
Cheyney State, Coppin State, and
St. John Fisher.
L The 'Hurst caught fire and
played "the best they had all
season" during the final three
contests according to Kalbaugh.
The Blue and Green pumped in
309 points while holding their op-
ponents to 243 in jthe three vic-
tories. What made the triumphs
even sweeter waslhe fact that the
final two wins came*on the\op-
ponents courts, something the
Lakers have had trouble with over

John "The Shooting Machine"
Green continued to be among the

Green accounted for 543 * Laker
tallies this season, good enough
for a J 20. l"lcoring average. He
also continued his climb to the top
of the Mercyhurst Ail-Time scor-
ing list. Green has sunk 1,681
points in his three seasons, just 69
behind Mercyhurst All-American
Jesse Campbell who set the stan-
dard of 1750 between 1972-76.

The Lady * Lakers ended their
1983-84 season with a 1-20 slate
under; first year coach Darlene
Rosthauser. | ^
The Blue and Green faced many
problems during the year, one of
which was-a tough Division |II
schedule. The Lady Lakers ran up
against nationally ranked teams
all season, .namely ^Canisius,
Robert Morris, and Utica College.
The lone win for the women
hoopsters came against Villa

Laker uniform. Berkeley finished
the season with 315 points (12.1
ppg) and 174 rebounds (6.7 per
game). These two figures marked
career bests for the Troy,tNew
York native. Berkeley now finds
himself eighth in scoring and sixth
in rebounding on hhe 'Hurst's
respective all-time lists. %
The only senior on the Mer-
cyhurst squad this year, Ericg
Peek, also had his best college?
outing.a Peek, who shared the
center position throughout^ the
year, compiled 141| point.
H o w e v e r , | h i s defensive
knowledge and overall basketball
ability which he gained
throughout his high school days at
the legendary DeMatha in
Baltimore and his \four years at
the \ Hurst proved to be his biggest
asset to the Blue and Green this
year. Peek managed to grab 98 re-
b o u n d s and had the
unglamourous statistic of drawing
49 charging violations in 26 con-
tests, something not many players

lege 83-18. J j|
A major highlight pf the cam-
paign was the play and ac-
complishments of junior^Cherry
Putnam. Putnam ended the
season with a 12.1 point per game
average and 13.1 rebounds an
outing. The 5'9 Erie native was
named to the Eastern College

week of February 15, 1984 when

Rodney Coffield, another
junior, continued to perform the
duties of point guard to almost
perfection. Coffield led the
Lakers with* 134 assists! which
made his career total (with a year
to go) for assists increase to 340,
only six behind Mercyhurst record
holder Carl Jones who compiled
346 between 1971-75.1 Coffield
also had his best shooting season.
He connected on 49.8 percent
from• the field and 76.3 percent
from the line as hei hit for 242
points.
Yet another junior, Dave Mar-
shall, also had one of his better
years. Marshall provided relief for
Coach Kalbaugh in] both the
power forward and center posi-
tion this year. His 68 boards were
a collegiate best whilefthebl
points scored equaled his
freshman output. Marshall prov-
ed to be a valuable member of the
team. He had a team slow of 12
j
assists and steals with 113 and 64
respectively.? i
The Lady Lakers will now look
towards the old cliche, "Wait un-
til next year," as the 'Hurst only 3Bgg@8&8gS3S
loses one of their starters: to
graduation. Another plus to look
forward |to is .the maturing of
freshman MeMe Tyler. Tyler, a
six-footer from Venango Chris-
tian, improved every game and
finished the scoring 8.4 PPG and
8.4 rebounds. €
