Appeal Period . Eymard Makes

by Martha Camp
Members of the College
Senate passed a vote at Tues-
day's meeting allowing students
more time to notify the director
of student development of his-
her appeal.
Prior to the vote, students had
to make an appeal within 48
hours. Faculty members as well
as students representatives
believed this was not a sufficient
amount of time so therefore they
extended the period to 72 hours.
The grievance procedure of
the Judicial Board, which gives a
student a process by which to
formally protest disciplinary ac-
tion, was the subject of study
recently by the Campus Life
Committee, according to
Rorbert Pagni, committee
member.
The study was begun, he told
The Merciad because of a provi-
sion in the original proposal
which called for it. In addition,
there were several concerns
about the policy voiced by sec-
tors of the college.
"There was a concern of the
adminstration that the process
was too cumbersome and
long," Pagni said. In the
original proposal, which is in
place now, the process can take
up to six weeks to complete, he
said.
Another problem was cited
dealing with the students abiltiy
to appeal residence hall write-
ups. Write-up, Pagni explained
are a procedure to punishments,
not punishments in themselves.
"A concern was voiced that
students should not be able to
appeal a procedure," he said.
Several Resident Assistants said
that students were waiting until
they received a write-ups that
would give them enough points
to be dismissed before they
would appeal.
Pagni said that this process
caused, in his perception a
morale problem for both R.A.'s
who felt that their ability to
maintain order was limited; and
for students who were not caus-
ing problems in the residence
halls but still had to put up with
the-inappropriate behavior of
others, i
In response to these concerns,
Pagni developed a working pro*
posal to give the Campus Life
Committee a basis from which
to negotiate a final recommen-
dation to Senate. [ I Hospital in Buffalo, where she

Cancer Breakthrough
fi by Karen Merkle
After 12 years of investigation,
Mercyhurst's | Cancer Research
Center, under the direction of
Sister M. Eymard Poydock, may
have made? an important
breakthrough in the fight against
some types of cancer. | f
A vitamin compound that has
been successful in the treatment of
mice with a form of leukemia is
currently J being tried on human
patients at the Clinical University,
Faculty of Medicine in Pamplona,
Spain. f L «'
Sr. Eymard began experimenta-
tion with the compound, which is
a mixture of a form of vitamin
B12 called hydroxocobalamin and
dehydroascorbic add, the oxidiz-
ed^ form of vitamin C, when it
became obvious that; the an-
ticancer agents that had been in
use were-destroying the normal,
healthy cells as- well as the
cancerous ones.
After years of research, Sr.
Eymard took her findings to the
Department of Thoracic Surgery
at Roswell Park Memorial
collaborated "with Dr. Salvador
Harguindey on a project monitor-
ing the effect of the compound on
mice bearing the LI210-type
leukemia. More than 50 percent
of those mice were cured.
When Dr. Harguindey returned
to his native Spain in 1982,- and
joined the staff of the Department
of Chemotherapy at the Clinical
University in Pamplona, he was c
granted permission to try the mix-
ture on human subjects. Those ex-
periments are currently in pro-
gress, and Sr. Eymard may be
traveling to Spain in -the near
future—possibly next summer—to
assist Dr. Harguindey in the
work.
Sr. Eymard, Dr. Harguindey,
and many other medical and
scientific professionals are excited
about this breakthrough and op-
timistic about its potential. :
.'Things look very hopeful,"
Sr. Eymard said, though she
stressed that while this compound
may be effective on leukemia and
some solid tumors, that doesn't
make it an all-encompassing cure
for cancer.
Because there are over 100 types
of cancer, Sr. Eymard continued,
"I feel that there will never be one
veritable cure for cancer."
Sr. Eymard and her staff are in
continual contact with other
cancer researchers not only in the
United States but in all countries
all over the world.
And* though the experimenta-
tion with the vitamin compound
and other potential treatments for
cancer is progressing rapidly, Sr.
Eymard still expects that it will be
another three to five years before
the testing is completed and the
treatment, if successful, is
available for use on the general
public.
But In her 24 years of cancer
research, Sr. Eymard has seen
"an evolution of change," in the
battle against cancer. Current
statistics show that about 50 per-
cent of the people diagnosed as
having cancer are successfully
treated.
"We're just beginning this
revolution against cancer," she
concluded. And it looks as though
Sr. Eymard-and Mercyhurst—will
be front-line soldiers in what will
hopefully be a very short war.

returned she had been to the
apartment and had fled to another
part of the campus. We waited for
her to return to the apartment and
she looked at us in bewilderment,
and then kindly asked us why all
her staff was packed. We told her
that Phyllis had contacted Sheila
Delaney and said due to ex-
tenuating circumstances, Kathy
was unable to return to school.
Phyllis told Sheila she had
another roommate for us. Kathy
was very upset with us and asked
why we didn't stand up for her

up a slight fuss. Anyway, Kathy
ranted and raved some more, then
called her parents. "Call the

do with it from past experiences.
Kathy was going to call Phyllis,

Softball
Lady Lakers Even Slate
by Greg Yoko
Despite the poor playing condi-
tions and lack of practice time,
the Mercy hurst Women's Softball
team has been in action over the
past week and was able to capture
some very important victories.
Nine first inning runs by the
Behrend Cubs, courtesy .<of a
number of Laker miscues, proved
to be too much for .the 'Hurst to
overcome in the opening contest
as they were defeating. 13-7.
In the ^second game of the
doubleheader however, Lisa
Palloto's four-hit pitching effort
and Sherry Putnam's three-run
triple gave the Lakers a 8-3
triumph.
The Mercyhurst team then had
the honors of traveling to Akron,
Ohio to oppose the fourth ranked
Division II softball team in the
country. The "Zips" from the
University of Akron took a pair
of decisions from Mercyhurst, 6-0
and 5-3. The powerful Zips im-
proved their record to 30-0.
On the positive side, the three
runs which the Lakers did score in
the nightcap, were the most runs
scored against the Akron squad.
Of the three runs, two were the
result of a two-run home run blast
by Putnam, also the first round-
tripper hit against them.

Mercyhurst Head basketball
coach Bill Kalbaugh and assistant
Bob MacKinnon have concluded
their recruiting for the upcoming
roundball season with three
confirmations.
Signing letters of intent to at-
tend the "College on the Hill" are
Bret Busch, Nate Harris, and Tim
Winbush.
Bush hails from Toms River
East High School in New Jersey
and brings with him an excellent
basketball reputation. The 6'7
forward was an All-County selec-
tion in both his junior and senior
year. He also received third team
All-Shore honors and was named
to the Buc Classic All-
Tournament team (Red Bank,
NJ).
Kalbaugh calls Busch a
"tremendous" i shooter i with a
range of 20 feet. His stats from his
final scholastic season verify this
claim.
Last year, Busch averaged 21
points and 11 rebounds per con-
test while connecting on 90 per-
cent (90-100) from the charity
stripe.
Jack Brace, Busch's high school
mentor, believes his graduating
senior will be a welcomed edition
to the Laker program. "As a
player, Bret is one of the best out-
side shooters I've seen in my 20
years of coaching. Off the court,"
added Brace, "his natural humor
and personality will enable him to
get along well with the team, I'm

Mercyhurst will also look for-
ward to. watching the play of Buf-
falonian, Nate Harris a 6'2 guard
from Bishop Timon High School,
also brings scoring ability to the
'Hurst squad.
As the leading scorer in the
Monsignor Martin League, Harris
received numerous honors while
compiling impressive statistics.
He earned All-Catholic status and
was named the Most Valuable
Player of the Manhattan Cup
Tournament. v says that Winbush guides a team
Known for his excellent outside
shooting ability, Harris is an ag-
gressive player under the boards.
Besides connecting on over 50 per-
cent from the field, he also grabb-
ed 162 rebounds while handing
out 72 assists.
"Nate is an excellent shooter
who is very, very physically
strong," praises Kalbaugh. "He
also comes from a winning pro-
gram. He'll be a shooting guard
with us."
His Bishop Timon basketball
team finished with a 22-7 slate.
Another Laker recruit from a
successful scholastic program is
Tim Winbush.
A nadve of nearby Grove City,
Winbush was a part of the
1983-84 team which finished at
22-8 and ended the year as a
Western Pennsylvania semi-
finalist team.
