Bid Farewell ToHurst
As the school year comes to an
end, many of us will be traveling
in different directions. For Cooly
and I, we took a path which was
unfamiliar to us in terms of
culture, language, and lifestyle.
Winter was at its peak when we
came to Mercyhurst three years
ago. However, the welcome was
overwhelming and warm and our
farewell will be as!tender. As
Voltaire^ said, "The m'oment of
reuniting and the moment of par-
ting are the two greatest times in
life." . Because it is where
everything else begins and ends.
At the 'Hurst we have put aside
some of our original cultural
values and acquired some new
American values. We hope we
have preserved the best from both
sides for we believe everything is
for the best.
As I am writing this, something
comes to my mind about going to
school in a foreign country^Ob-
viously, there are*some ups and
say when one is loved by a
wonderful mother, one always
finds a way out of one's troubles
in this world. ;
We want to thank^ Sister

give special thanks to Dr. William

would like to apologize to those to
whom we may have done some

As we leave with our degrees,
we will face another world; the
world of tomorrow. For we
believe we have a responsibility to
better the world of tomorrow and
we think our education is worth it.
{Mercyhurst has 'provided us
with an education, but we also
have learned a different life style
which we hope to make good use.

Looking back over the past
four years at Mercyhurst is a dif-

When you I come back in as a

that time is plentiful compared to

you're faced with the question;
"do I become involved or become

THE MERCIAD
 College Informs Students
On Availablility Of Money
(CPS) A major reason more
students do not get some form of
fiancial aid is that the students do
not know how to apply for the
aid, according -to the National
Student Aid Coalition;}
Director of Mercyhurstfrinan-
cial Aid, Catherine Crawford
claims this is not the case here on
the Mercyhurst Campus. §
Crawford cites the Mercyhurst
Financial Aid workshop for high
school students, and aid lectures
within the community as a means
of informing' students of the
available aid. The Financial Aid
Office also solicits? outside
scholarships from private sources
that have been beneficial for other
students.
A College Board study released
estimates that 52 percent of
American college students receive
some sort of financial aid.
Crawford citesi thatf within the
past two or three years, 100 per-
cent of'the Mercyhurst students
have been offered some type of
aid, in the form of loans, jobs or
grants. * sj
Crawford says that most of
Mercy hurst's available aid is con-
sumed. ^There are some reserve
funds which are available if the
need arises. They include a
package grant, emergency funds
and their own money.j
Included in the emergency
funds is the Walker Loan fund
Contributed by a local doctor, the
fundr makes available short-term
loans. The Walker Loan fund has

the students running began to
solicit votes. All candidates gave a
speech which included their
credentials. After this, the general
membership voted.
One of the major things the new
officers will concentrate on is im-

Mercyhurst and Erie* com-
munities. According to Toni
Meyers, the Association of Black
Collegians?wants the college and
general public to be made aware
