tion as a U.S. Naval Reserve intelligence

gence Center in Norfolk, Va., on Tues-

be gone," he said. "The initial order is

programs in areas of occupational training.
Students in* the associate degree program will
complete their first year at either Corry, St

Tuition in the junior college will be about
$5,000 for certificate programs and $6,000 for
an associate degree. Garvey noted that these
amounts are below the national average for
tuition at private colleges - about midway be-
tween the cost of tuition at community and

^Belovarac said he thinks it's impor-

"It's an exciting new development," said Dr.
Garvey. "It will put a firm base on Mer-
cyhurst's future and strengthen the quality of
this institution."
Garvey said McAuley Junior College will
also enable Mercyhurst to reduce the current
freshman class size from 400 to 350 over the
next several years. It will also improve the
quality of incoming freshmen.
Mercyhurst officials estimate that students
will be phased-in over a five year period to total
enrollment at 500. "I think it's visionary, very
ambitious and holds great potential for helping
move the college ahead," said Mercyhurst
College Dean, Dr. Michael McQuillen. "It
will be a great challenge to make it-work."
| "We're undertaking this venture as a means
of furthering the missions of both the Sisters of
Mercy and the college," Garvey said. "In the
tradition of Mother McAuley, foundress of the
Sisters of Mercy, the junior college will open
the door to further tinning for those in this area
who have not had that opportunity."

"Progress has been good,

These are! the words of the new
Mercyhurst Laker crew team coach,
David Baugh.
Baugh joined the Mercyhurst
community on Jan. 7,1991 as the
new head crew coach. His enthusi-
asm for both the team and the sport,
in addition to the motivated team
members, shows a positive out-
look for the spring season. {The
schedule will be tough, but Baugh
said,' 'This spring I think region-

The crews will be racing regionally
against some of the better schools,
