spoke briefly, and thenfthe Presi-

More specifically, the test will be
administered in three steps. The
first step was the one that was
given to the Juniors and Seniors
a few weeks ago to see how they
compare with other Juniors and
Seniors on a national scale. The
second step will be £ administered
to Sophomores next year in order
to see both how they compare with
the national norms and also with
the upperciassmen who took the
test this year. Then, finally, in 1971,
next year's Sophomores, injj their
Senior year, will take it again. In
this way, it will be possible to give
our curriculum a complete evalua-
tion and to see it Mercyhurst is in-
creasing its academic tone.
This year's test is being financ-
ed by the fi Educational Testing
Service of Princeton, New Jersey.

I speak for Mel, David and Frank
in acknowledging the dedication of
Zurn Hall. We have helped to lay
another milestone to advance the
goals of higher education in our
community under Sister Carolyn
and her dedicated staff. These
goals will be accomplished and we
take the opportunity to wish them
continued success in the future."
The main speaker for the cere-
mony was Thomas P. Carney,
Ph.D., the senior Vice President of
Research and Development for G.
D. Searle and Company, Skokie,
Illinois. He is a native of Dubois
and brother of Sister Mary Kevin,
R. S. M. Dr. Carney praised the "re-
joining of science and fine arts in
our culture," saying that Zurn
Hall stands as an example of this
reunion. He also expressed the

On Thursday, April 25, the third
President's Council of the year was
held in the office of Sister M.
Carolyn. The student members of
the Council were Sue Sutto, Lynn
Varricchio, Terry Westover, Jeanne
Baker, Elaine Marsh, Debbie Brad-
ley and Claudia Weeks.
Sister Carolyn opened the meet-
ing with a discussion of several
questions posed by the students.
with the problem of communica-
tion at Mercyhurst, especially in
regard to the role of the merciad
on this campus. Sister Carolyn and
the members of the Council agreed
that the merciad should be an in-
volved and questioning newspaper.
The performance of the merciad as
a good college paper might be im-
proved by on-the-spot reporting of
all major events and by a greater
interest in national issues.
Other questions discussed includ-
ed the possibility of paying tuition
on a term-by-term basis and of
making cancer research equal in
credit to student teaching. Sister
Carolyn also asked the students to
begin thinking of a way in which
Mercyhurst can retain such tradi-
tions as the Christmas dinner with-
out interfering with valuable study
time.
After discussion of these ques-
tions, Sister Carolyn introduced the
final topic: Mercyhurst's involve-

graduation highlight may
As the end of the school year ap-
proaches, Mercyhurst students are
preparing to join the seniors in
the graduation activities. The first
of these activities, Mary's Day,
was held on Sunday, May 12. Mer-
cyhurst's front campus was the set-
ting for the crowning of Our Lady
by this year's queen, Kathy Fitz-
gerald.
The second graduation activity,
Honors Convocation, was held on
Wednesday, May 15, in the Little
Theatre. Following the tradition-
al tassel ceremony, passing of the
gavel, and dedication of the Prae-
terita, student honors and scholar-
ships were presented by Sister M.
Janet, Academic Dean.
The Saint Catherine Medal,
awarded to a sophomore in recog-
nition of outstanding academic
achievement, was presented to
Elaine Marsh.. The Carpe Diem
Award was awarded to Jeanne
Keim as the senior who has best
realized the school motto in her
four years at Mercyhurst. Terry
Jones received the Archbishop John
Mark Gannon Award for general
scholastic excellence.
At this time, it was announced
that thirteen seniors have been se-
lected for membership in "Who's
Who in American Colleges and
Universities": Betty Barczak, Anne

courages creativity in a college.
In conclusion the Most Reverend
John F. Wealon, Bishop of the Erie
Diocese offered benediction and
blessed the building saying, "Those
be led to the Lord of sciences, to
the author of all arts."
Refreshments and a tour of the
building followed the hour-long
ceremony. On Sunday, April 28th,
the new building was opened to the
public in an open house from | 2
until 5 p. m.
marily concerned with academic af-
fairs, but students must be at least
aware of their responsibility to
others. $'
It has been suggested that a
greater percentage of Negro stu-
dents! and the employment of a
Negro faculty-.member might in-
crease the social awareness of
Mercyhurst students. The adminis-
tration, however, is faced with the
problem of a nation-wide lack of
qualified Negro students and
teachers. Any interest in Negro
culture and problems must there-
fore be provoked by individual stu-
dents; The administration in its
turn will provide an atmosphere
for free discussion of these issues.
Actual student involvement^ in
the Negro community*of Erie has
already occurred, although on va
very limited basis. Mercyhurst stu-
dents should become more aware of
the workings of the local NAACP.
Sister Carolyn suggested that the
student body make a sacrificial do-
nation to the proposed NATO cen-
ter in honor of the late Doctor
Martin Luther King.
Sister Carolyn closed the meet-
ing with the same statement stres-
sed at the first President's Coun-
cil: that continuous communication
among faculty, administration, and
students is essential. This com-
munication will be encouraged in
the 1968-69 academic year by the
President's Councils and by pro-
posed monthly meetings between
students and! various members of
the faculty and administration.

For their scholastic excellence
and leadership in extra-curricular
activities, seniors Terry Jones and
Sharon Labosky were awarded

a national Catholic women's honor
society.
Membership in Delta Epsilon

student government 1968-69
outlines plans and purpose
The basic motivation of the 1968-
69 Student Government, led by
president Lynn Varricchio, will be
expansion of the role of college
students to include involvement in
major social and intellectual is-
sues as a form of self-development
and at the same time, as a means
to garner community respect. Be-
lieving that Mercyhurst^has handl-
ed campus problems well, Lynn
feels that- now the students can
devote their energies to the larg-
er issues within) the community.
During herfeampaign, Lynn stated
that, if Mercyhurst is not well-
known, it is due to failure to im-
press other students, faculties, and
colleges through productive action;
thus she feels: "Student Govern-
ment must take the initiative in
bringing the student body into per-
sonal confrontation with the issues.
It must serve as the channel which
connects us with; the fmainstream

Involvement presupposes aware-
ness,! and for greatest effective-
ness this awareness must not be
vicarious but experimental. Many
Mercyhurst students have recog-
nized this necessity — witness
those who recently participated in
active out-of-state campaigning for
Senators Kennedy and McCarthy.
To provide opportunities for aware-
ness, several measures |have been

Dear: Editor;
We should like to take this op-

standing job they did in handling

perhaps the fprime reason for the

quainted the student body with the
past performances, present poli-

purpose of these informative
speeches was to prepare students
to vote intelligently in "Choice *68."
MCCARTHY
I
Mr. Lincourt, as chairman of the
group, began by introducing| Mr.
Henry Shrady who defended Sena-
tor Eugene McCarthy. Mr. Shrady
informed us that McCarthy has ex-
perience and ethics on his side. He
has beaten- ten Republicans before,
is a gentleman and a Catholic. He
was a professor of economics and
of philosophy before sacrificing
this comparatively peaceful exis-
tence! for the trials and tribula-
tions of political life. Mr. Shrady
mentioned McCarthy's devotion to
Thomas More and proceeded to ex-
plain the reverent Senator's views
on Viet Nam. He believes the U. S.
should cease its "search and de-
stroy" missions,! cease fire while
pressing for negotiations and force
the South Vietnamese to fight the
war themselves. He criticizes the
recent selections which he consid-
ered unfair: they only represent-
ed the opinion of Saigon and! not
the opinion of the country fas a
whole. According to f Mr. Shrady,
the Senator I also feels that | the
programs of the Great Society
have suffered asvthe result of this
war.; He denounces the use*of so-
phisticated weapons in a people's
war, points out the J tremendous
tactical misjudgements and need
for better troop training. McCarthy
and, so it seems, Mr. Shrady him-
self, believe thatiwe are overin-
volved in Viet Nam. Finally, we
were told that McCarthy will not
6
cause a? split in the country, that
he is believable, and speaks and
acts according to common sense.
Somehow this great man will fill
the void in the credibility gap. Aft-
er all, | the young believe in him.
KENNEDY
The next speaker, Mr. Libre,
described Senator Robert Kennedy
is? T tH . . '..,-"
as a winner. In the spirit of a true
politician, Mr, Libre informed us
that McCarthy's retinue includes—
of all things—a psychologist! He
further stated his belief that as a
dark horse, McCarthy has nothing
to lose. (Does the fact that a man
has a. lot to lose make him the best
candidate for the presidency?) We
heard further | that Kennedy has
always wanted peace and progress,
that he doesn't want to surrender
in Viet Nam but that he would like
to negotiate a settlement. Kenne-
dy wants the Vietnamese people to
determine their own future. He
wants the U. S. to de-escalate and
to transfer its interest from the
military sphere to those of econ-
»,*
omics and? politics. Kennedy be-
lieves that the Vietnamese must
win the war themselves, although
he thinks the U. S. should help
them with equipment and advisors.
Mr. Libre reported that Kennedy
has opposed escalation in Viet Nam
for the past three years.

Redfield urged that institutions
such as schools of design and the
performing arts be encouraged and
recognized as equivalent to more
traditional institutions.
Redfield said the important
question was "What kind of things

ferent ways of growing up enough,

"The Negro college has no dis-

sional function, no centuries-old
tradition from which to draw in-
spiration, and no clear future
toward which to aim," he adds.

ably continue to graduate the larg-

I Katz, author of the forthcoming
book "Growth and Constraint in
College Students," said, "We do
have an elitist hierarchy . . . The
problem? is that our thinking has
not been geared to exploring the
developmental needs of the stu-
dents. 3jWe have been concerned
more in defining our colleges by
setting up departments according
to traditional principles.?
"We have put very little interest
into making faculty more aware
of the diversity of the students
that they teach and equipping them
better to teach. Every faculty mem-
ber tends to be seen primarily as a
scholar or departmental person. He
really doesn't define his task very
much as educating."
Dean Booth said that "almost
everybody could benefit from what
I would call genuine education aft-
er the age of 18—if, byfthat, we
mean improvement^of their capac-
ity to think and their capacity to
read and deal with the world of
ideas, as welU as with their own
lives in the best possible way."
l"But," he added, "I think it's
really very sad that so many pa-
rents whose children have no real
desire to go to conventional college
and who do have some genuine mo-
tivation in some other direction
feel that college is the only way."
"Not only the non-elite but the
elite institutions are far too often
getting to be for someone to whom
no real experience has occurred,
not the traditional education not
anything else that's real or gen-
uine. It has been an artificial ex-
perience with the artificial stamp.
That is the essential problem."
