Something .happened this week in
the Mercyhurst College Campus
Center that has rarely occurred
anywhere in the United States. A col-
legiate basketball player has scored
over 2,000 points in his#er career. Q
tWednesday evening,* Mercyhurst
senior John Green became the first
player in Western Pennsylvania history
to eclipse the mark. He did so with his
thirteenth I point against Mansfield
State University, the fifth best rated
team in Division II basketball. ' >|
Dubbed the j "Shooting Machine,"
Green had a major impact on!Laker
basketball'from day one.* From his
opening {exhibition debut £ against
Estonia on November 7,1981, when he
hit the nets for 22 points, until his 2,000
point last night, Green has amazed and
dazzled basketball fans, players, and
coaches who have seen him perform
on the court. ^ || & ^ ^
£ But to Green, his? feats >and? ac-
complishments on the court were the
result of natural progression. "I never
had any goals when I came in (to Mer-
*<- cyhurst)," reveals the Binghamton, NY
native. "I just wanted to win games and
have a successful cafeer." j§ •$ g
j j The 16-1 guard l e d a freshmen
oriented ballclub in 1981 to a 11-14
record with 453 points. His total adjust-
ment to college hoops wastmade ob-
vious during Green's sophomore
campaign. * * * 3$ jf t
^ All in all, the slick shooting guard
set eleven different Mercyhurst Col-
lege records during his secon season,
including most points I scored in a
season (682) and highesti seasonal
average (24.3). ^ | ^
He also set a single-game scoring
Phonathon!
Calls made from cerkral location
Plans for this year's annual
Phonathon are well under way. Accor-
ding^to Director of Alumni Relations
and Annual Giving, Gary i Bukowski,
"This.is ourjififth year of continuous
calling."?
This year, as in past years, teams of
students'will call Mercyhurst jalumni
all over the cbuntry. v j ^ *"
All phones will be located in the
Blue Room this year, Bukowski said. In
the past, students made |their calls
from various offices throughout Old
Main. \ | i -£
I Computer terminals will Jalso be
located in the Blue Room. Centralizing
everyone will make it more effective to
handle questions or problems,
Bukowski said. The director of alumni
and annual giving claims he loses 10
pounds during the 10 day Phonathon.
'But this year with everything centraliz-
ed I'll only lose five pounds," he said
hits
record against, ironically, the same
Mansfield team, when he accumulated
41 points on February 9,1983.
I His cumulative statistics are even
more impressive. He has reached dou-
ble figures in 93 of?95 games, and

with, 14. efforts of 30 markers or more.
§ "He's always been a great shooter,"
comments Mercyhurst Head .Basket-
ball Coach Billy Kalbaugh. "When I
saw him play in high school you could
tell he was a consistent shooter." fe*
Indeed he was. While at Binghamton
North High School, Green scored over
1,700 points in just three years. He set
all-time}scoring records for both the
Binghamton and Triple Cities areas.g&

Bukowski says installing 15 phone
lines in the basement of Old Main wilt
cost approximately $1,000. Even with
the long distance phone charges,fit is
Still worth it. Last year's long distance
bill wastabout $1,400. But the total
amount of money raised by the drive
was $25,000. T % | j £
\ "This year's Phonathon is more im-
portant than ever. The tone of the
Phonathon is helpful in J increasing
alumni gifts and instrumental' in

Bukowski said. . -i &0fck
He also pointed out that t i p
'Phonathon is a great way for people
who always say there's nothing to do,
to get out. "It's an opportunity to meet
upperclassmen and alums. Therejis a
lot of intermingling." 'f * J

The proliferation of the salad bar
By Mary Loncharic f Bar."
The salad bar began meagerly
in the steak house type
restaurant until it's big break;
in the fast food chainsl Now it
is starring all over the United
States- in supermarkets and
produce counters.
Mercyhurst College has had
a salad bar since the 1960's.
Heidi Winkleman, a senior
who works in the college
cafeteria, says Mercyhurst, "is
always willing to change, and
keep up with the times"; the
times of the salad bars. There
are fifteen different salad
selections that can be made,
six of which are used in^a
salad. Five varieties of dress-
ings are used. Cottage cheese,
applesauce and fruit salads
are always* out on the salad
tables Selections are still be-
