PRAETERITA BITES THE DUST

After 38 years of publication, the Mercyhurst
College yearbook, Praeterita has been discontinued.
When asked the reason why the yearbook was put
out of existence, Mr. E. William Kennedy, Director of
Student Affairs stated that it could be summed up in
one word: "Finances". He stated that the yearbook
allocation — $10,500 — had been one of the items
eliminated from the college budget in the effort to
keep the tuition hike to a minimum. "What it came
down to was this?" Mr. Kennedy said, "Tuition was
going *to go up either $165 or $175. We chose to
eliminate the yearbook, cutting the increase by $10."
Praeterita was first published in 1937, by the Senior
class of that year, advised by Dr. M. J. Relihan. The
flyleaf of that first issue explained the new annual's
name, which was derived from the Latin phrase "Ex
PraeteriUs—out of the past of one's college days

the budget for such a book would be considerably

Foods And Nutrition Major
Granted Scholarship
Ms. Patricia -Malloy, a Junior foods and
nutrition major from Uniontown, Penn-
sylvania, was recently awarded the annual
Extension Homemakers Scholarship fund.
This scholarship is made possible through
the voluntary contributions of women
throughout the state who participate in The
Pennsylvania State University Cooperation
Extension Service Program, j
Each year the faculty of the Division of
Home Economics are asked to recommend
a deserving student for the scholarship. To
be eligible, the student must have at least a
sophomore standing, be a resident of
Pennsylvania and have acceptable
scholarship. Other considerations were
given to the students' interest in Home
Economics Extension as a career and need
for financial * assistance. Students were
invited to submit a letter to the head of the
Division summarizing their qualifications
and professional goals.
Ms. Malloy hopes to become a registered
dietitian with the American- Dietetic
Association andfr is interested in both
hospital service and extension work.

Two Seniors'

PARTING SHOTS
by Candy Yanker & Gretchen Krampf
First, we wouldjlike to comment on a
rather sensitive area - finances. There are
many services that have come and gone
during our four years at the 'Hurst. Long
ago and far away, the business {office
cashed our personal checks. This is still a
common practice at many universities and
colleges throughout the nation. We do not
ignore the fact thatisome ? students have
checks made of more rubber than paper,
but on the whole, they are receiving their
income from home and | it is an in-
convenience for them to'handle ^checking
accounts within the city. j | |
Our only; God-send is Burhenn's Phar-
macy whose check-cashing policy ? assure
both students and faculty of the extra cash
they need. It is both sad and unfortunate
that Burhenn's! can afford usl this con-
venience, while the college refuses to
service us in this manner. After Jail, it
seems Mercyhurst makes fa great deal,
more money than a small pharmacy. ;
At this point, we would like to extend our
sincere gratitude to Burhenn's in hopes that
they will continue with this service.
Our second area of interest isjinfthe
quality of this year's Merciad. We would
like to commend Colleen McManamon for
doing such a tremendous job as editor of the
paper. She was open to every side of every
issue and was always willing to tackle any
area of controversy. As an intelligent and
well-spoken woman, Colleen has put forth a
strong effort to elevate the status of the
Merciad as well as ^recreating a genuine
student paper. I
We hope that Colleen will continue in the
Afield of journalism? 'cause we've seen what
^she can dokand{.we think there's,a^lot of
^potentiaFthere F • ^^^^
Finally, we as seniors, haVe watched
spring weekend blossom from a Saturday
night semi-formal dinner-dance into a full-
fledged weekend! * f 1
We would, last but not leasts like to
commend Kent Koch (alias "Bones") for
organizing and directing two very well-
received concerts, j a festival, and an en-
joyable semi-formal at Rainbow Gardens.
Bones, along with the support ofrR.U.S.,
worked countless long and hard hours, in, , r an
•effort to bring us a few "Cheap Thrills. J
It is our hope that Mercyhurst Mill con-
tinue with this fond ? tradition and that
someone will be courageous enough to take
on the pains, pressures,! trials, and
tribulations that accompany a lot of the fun
of being involved in the planning.

a rough time this spring. But
Coach Cook, never one to hold
back words,; rather
vehemently pointed out to his
ball players the importance of
pride, winning and dedication
to the sport if they want to
play for him.;(I'm sure the

the Lakers, plagued jjwith
