Questions regarding supervision and
grading policy have recently been raised
concerning internships and the Cooperative
Education Programs. In the past, there has
been some confusion to the grading system
for the internships. Dr. David Palmer,
academic dean, and Tyrone B. Moore,
director of Career Services and Cooperative
Education, have attempted to straighten
out the problems by transferring control of
the internships to the Career Services
department. * *
Why the change of supervision ? "...A
lack of uniformity and special supervi-
sion," observes Moore. This is the "ap-
parent reason why the division lis now

Career Services will continue to handle all
Cooperative Programs as in the past.
High standards are set for the programs

Dieticians, those with Masters Degrees in
Sociology, and hospital-experience are

are Medical-Technology and Education,

Honors Program Rejuvenated
by Jackie Rzomp
The Egan Honors Program was
i implemented at Mercyhurst over
10 years ago to introduce students

to a richer experience than that
which usual college courses pro-
vide. The original concept was to
- ^ get top students who are scattered
across majors to come together
and share interests.

The Mercyhurst Chorus is still
in need of chorus and Madrigal
singers and it is open to all
members of the Mercyhurst Com-
munity. You do not have to be a
music major; all majors are
welcome, whether you are an art
major or an education major. As
Joanna Dingfelder puts it "We
even have a football player involv-
nSW^w ed." You can join chorus as an
extracurricular activity which will
show on your transcript, or you
can join for one credit per term.
This applies to all majors. The
chorus puts on a performance

freshman year to participate in the
program. Also, non-honor
students are permitted in honors
classes with the idea that they
know what they are getting into. |
Honors Program courses are
generally associated with founda-
tion and distribution core courses.
Students who participate in the
program by taking one honors
course per term receive a pin upon
successful completion of nine
courses and special recognition at
graduation.
Lutton is quick to point out to
students and faculty that "The
courses are not meant to be more
work or more difficult. They are
meant to be a reward in two
respects. Number one, they are a
reward for the student who has
done well. And number two, they
are a reward for being active in
education and not passive."
To encourage students to par-
ticipate actively in their own
education, the courses are design
ed as seminars with students
generating open discussion.
?? Over the past year, the program
has undergone other changes
besides that of its title. When

between the past and present pro-
gram lis the recent formation? of
the Mercyhurst Honors Council.

K a r e n C a v a l a n c i a (vice -
president), Christine Brown
(recording secretary), Theresa
Kirik (social programs chairper-
son), and Lisa Serwinski (public
relations). £
The council meets weekly to
develop and implement program
goals. According to Lutton, 'The
students are trying to generate a
sense of program—a sense of com-
munity. It all fits with the nature
of the program.' s i &
The major program flaw which
the council is working to amend is
the unpredictability of when
honors courses are offered and
their conflict with major courses.
Most students who withdraw
from the program do so because it
would be difficult for them to
continue without upsetting their
schedules. And when honors
courses are forced into cancella-
tion because of low enrollment,
both students and faculty are
hurt. Therefore, the councif will
attempt to meet with students,
faculty, and administration to
work on solving the problems.
There are several other ac-
tivities on which the council is
working. At the beginning of the
term, the dinnei speaker series
will continue in which faculty
members are invited to discuss
non-curricular topics with the
Mercyhurst community in the

At MSG Meeting
Toaster issue pops up
by Jennifer Singer
B On Sept. 28, 1986 Michael Kel-
ly, President of Mercyhurst Stu-
dent Government called the week-
ly meeting to order. Following the
roll call, Susan Trumbull, S.A.C.
spokesperson was introduced. She
announced a performance will be
held in the recital hall on Friday at
8 p.m. Saturday afternoon shut-
tles will transport students to and
from Millcreek Mall.
The Cafeteria Committee is
looking for new ways to make the
breakfasts hotter and better. They
are considering the purchase of
toasters for the students to make
their own toast.
The pay scale proposal for
S.A.C. officers was once again
discussed since it was tabled at last
week's meeting. Susan Trumbull
restated the proposal and a roll
call vote was called. The MSG
representatives voted against this
propoal. Therefore, ^last year's'
proposal still stands.
President Michael Kelly and
Vice-president John Widican
discused the new alcohol policy
with Mr. Kennedy, Dr. Garvey,
and Phyllis Aiello last Friday
evening. Kelly and Widican in-
formed everyone at the meeting
that parties are not banned. Beer
kegs and loud music is what is
banned. If the parties are kept in-
side and are not destructive then
there should not be any problems.
This year the MSG officers are
taking over the Student Directory.
If you'want your phone number
published in the directory be sure
to talk with MSG secretary, Peggy
Hirsch or one of the volunteers
who will be coming to the apart-
ments to check on names and
numbers.
The Mercyhurst Student
i Government is trying to boost
school spirit with a contest to find
the/Mercyhurst mascot. To enter i
all that is needed is a rough sketch
and a brief description. There will
be a cash prize given to the winn-
ing idea. Information will be
posted concerning this contest.

Saying Y o u
by Dennis McCarthy
An immensely profitable book,
and later movie, called "Love
Story" made a college teacher,
named Segal, millions of dollars,
thrilled millions of people who
read with their lips moving and
was so cloying that, to borrow
Dorothy Parker's memorable
phrase, made other millions
"want to fwow up".
[j< Further damage was done
because Segal's story contained
the oft-repeated admonition that
"Love means never having to say
you're sorry." The simplistic|
reasoning apparently went as
follows: if you love someone they
will always forgive you regardless
of your insensitivity or
boorishness. " several occasions as a student.
Also you don't need to express
sorrow about any mischance that
befalls the subject of your ardor —
even premature, fulminating
death by cancer — because, since
you love the incipient victim, you
are obviously desolated by the im-
pending loss and protestations of
grief are therefore superfluous.
(with matching grants for the
departments of the winners)

respectively. The first place

One of the other teenagers later

What is important is that there

The Mercyhurst College men's

winning streak after gaining three
wins this past week. The Lakers
posted a 8-0 victory over
Westminster before defeating
Washington & Jefferson 4-1 and
St Francis 8-1 in action over

Head coach Rick Burns was
pleased with the team's perfor-
mance on the week.
In the Lakers' game against St.

outstanding performance with
players gaining two goals apiece.
u. Both Donnough Shaffrey and
Bobby Bergfalk had two goals
each. Other goal scorers were
Dallas Kaiser, Kevin Lagos* Tom
Mulligan, and Derry Keily all with
one goal apiece.
In the team's earlier game
against Washington & Jefferson,
Shaffrey again turned in two
goals, this time with Mulligan tur-
