Mercyhurst College in the past
years has seem many changes
taking place. Hence, it js very
important that while a college
moves through these various
phases of change it becomes
necessary that it has an effective
and well organized student
government. I, as a candidate,
am willing to funnel my energies
into making R.U.S. a government
that is truly representative of the
student body.
The areas which 1 believe the
R.U.S.? can j exert the most in-
fluence in the overall government
structure of the college are the
following:
1. Mercyhurst College Senate
2. Student Policy Committee
The areas mentioned above are
directly related to R.U.S. and its
structure, but there are areas
which are not related directly to
K.U.S. and those are:
1. Tuition raises
2. Board raises
*3. Room raises ? M
Knowing that the studnets do
not have any direct say in these
areas, the students should be
concerned because it has a direct
effect on them and their parents

who must keep pace,with the
soaring educational costs.
I, being a candidate for the
office of the President of R.U.S.,
promise that I will work hard to
give the students a say in all of
these areas that I have mentioned
in this statement. 5af'

Much debate, many words, and
far too much time is wasted
every year concerning student
government. The yearly ritual of
foolish slogans and wasted
posters begins again in an at-
tempt to imitate the national
election process. Now is the time
for all of us to expect, and get,
more responsibility, more
maturityf and less talk from our
student government. ^
Government does not exist for
people to play their ego games or
to try and establish a strong
transcript for graduate school.
Government exists to serve the
students, and that is exactly what
my campaign is built upon. Let's

games, and implement new

Interview With The HFORMERCIAD
1972-73
Presidential Candidates IVINCEIDOKANI
LaDuca: In your opinion, what
is the major problem that faces
the student at Mercyhurst? §
McAndrew: The problem
facing the student at Mercyhurst
is the same problem facing
students all over the country. It
stems; from the apathy of the
student in keeping away from the
uctivities on campus. They
complain about a lot of things that
are happening, such as student
policies and other areas, but they
don't funnel their complaints into
the right areas. They want to
have things done but the students
must realize that they too must
participate in the actions taken. §
Beloverac: The main problem
of the student at Mercyhurst is an
ignorance about the different
areas that rare open to them.
There seems Ito be a com-
municative barrier between the
Student Government and the
students themselves. * The
students are not fully aware of
what goes on in the Student
Government. Student opinions are
not flilly utilized. Only when there
is a flare-up does R.U.S. come
into the lime-light but then it just
recedes back into a.* monthly
assignment.
Hayes: In the field of Student
Government, it would have to be
the realization that R.U.S. as it
exists now, is not working, and the
students know this. They have no
faith in it and they have no am-
bition to try. They realize that in
the past it has failed them and
structurally it cannot help them.
LaDuca: -iWhat are your
reasons for stating that R.L.S.
does not work? jb i H present the Students with a clear

basic problem involved.

I feel that the representatives
have to take more of an initiative
and invest more time to make

representatives to some extent
play anonymous roles.'
McAndrew: Structurally it can
work, but people are not aware of
every avenue "that,, is connected
w ith R.U.S. directly.
R.U.S. representatives have a
responsibility to their electorate
to go back to them and vote ac-
cordingly, notjfto vote on a per-
sonal basis.* I am an advocate of
representing the electorate not
representing a personal view. $.
At the present I am proposing
to the College 5Senate that the
students have a majority say in
their own policymaking com-
mittee. In the past the decision
was made by seven students and
seven teachers. ,. i
n We have to make the ad-
ministration aware \ of student
sentiment because if we don't the
administration will go unchecked
indefinitely. J
LaDuca: What will you do to
combat the apathy that per-
meates our ca m pus? -
Belovarac: You can combat the
apathy but you cannot eradicate
it completely. £*
The newspaper is an excellent
way to devote more articles to
R.U.S., to upcoming proposals
and to constructive criticism. In
this way communication will be
increased between the students
and the schools governing bodies.
The role of R.U.s| should be
made clear to the students in that
it does have and can serve an
important function in student lifeg!
Hayes: I think* the apathy
cannot be combated externally.
Apathy only exists when there is a
feeling of failure within the
organization. As long as the
students feel that nothing they do
will change matters apathy will
continue to exist. Students need to
be awakened to the fact that they
do have {influence and this in-
fluence can be used. Apathy will
will replace it. ? 3
McAndrew: R.U.S. is not
working to the extent of tits
framework. Students Ihave to
come alive to the fact that we can
work within a larger framework.
We are now working within a little
cubicle in areas which are larger.
The students however, can ex-
pand these perimeters to the
perimeters which are set within
their jurisdiction.
LaDuca: As possible R.U.S.
Presidents, would each of you
please explain your philosophy?
Belovarac:^ I am concerned
with the' students themselves.
They must help R.U.S. become an
effective voice in the college
community.
