"Every time we take away
more space from the students'
domain, we're performing acts
that are contrary! to our
philosophy and stated purposes,"
says Joan Cooper, head librarian
of the Mercyhurst College
Learning Resource Center.
Cooper's recent statement
preferred to the occupation of two
rooms on the second floor of the
LRC by Dr. John Stewart's
Behavior Research Institute.
^Formerly, both rooms were
designated "Quiet Study" areas.
Cooper's objection was not
directed at> Stewart personally,
but rather towardjthe fact that
the LRC is literally being turned
into an office building for
members of the Mercyhurst
faculty.
"l|can understand how Mrs.
Cooper feels," Stewart respon-
ded, "but the problem of space is
not only here, but also in the rest
of the institution." , £•
Removal of the quiet study
space is considered by some
students an invasion of their
studying rights. And the concern
is shared not only by Cooper and
those students, but by some
members of the faculty as well.
Question the Purpose
A number of students are
questioning the purpose of the|
Behavioral Institute. | |
"(It is) to do surveys4 ex-
periments and social science*
research," explained Stewart. He
added that the institute also in-
volves students and potential
research assistants in survey
work. Institute students do
research for various
organizations, including the Erie

Dean Trimble Voices Opinions
Dr. Jerry Trimble, the Dean of Students here at
Mercyhurst College, has established certain
priorities that represent personal developmental
tasks and interpersonal, < educational, and in-
stitutional goals. These-are areas in which Dr.
Trimble feels he needs to grow and improve. And to
do so, he will need assistance from us all. I
Dr. Trimble's personal priorities put forth include
the aim to beehimself — avoiding professional role
stereotypes, persuasiveness with tact, tempered
idealism with maintained integrity, and creative
leadership in a manner consistent with the agreed-
upon purpose of our institution.
Among the interpersonal priorities Dr. Trimble has
cited are the promotion of a healthy self-concept and
growth in others, ideas respected and upheld by
others, healthy conflict that does not hinder growth,
authority by consent, and-that responsibility and
appropriate information is shared. :
"Recognize the difference between ideas and in-
sights which have lasting value • in educational
programs as opposed to those which are transitory,"
says Dr. Trimble, "Be willing to experiment/'
Dr. Trimble's educational priorities include shared
decision making, that faculty time is well spent and
-given thorough consideration, institutional values
and characters bring about institutional change,
consideration of educational issues and formulating
institutional policies and programs, and the intent oi
comprehending ideas and suggestions. |
Finally, Dr. Trimble sets forth* specific in

implement an integrated program of physical

root rot. The symptoms are
watersoaked lesions on the stem

may turn yellow and wilt and
stems may break. The disease is
favored by high humidity, high
temperature, and poor drainage,
which can be avoided by making
sure that the soil dries out bet-
ween waterings.

Not The Hurst
Editor's Note:| The following
is the first in a series of Columns
written by two members of the
Mercyhurst community who feel
that more than just the serious
side of campus life should be
presented in a college newspaper.
It will be interesting to watch
the freshmen class this term as it
forms its ownfand diffuses into
already existing campus cliques.
I That's right Kids: Contrary to
what you have been told cliques
are very much a part of life here
at the Happy 'Hurst. And we think
it is time you found out about
some of the already established
ones. It should make for an in-
teresting flash into the past for
the returnees, too. \
In any discussion of cliques at
McAuley, it is only right to begin
with the first floor. \ female and produce the ap-
R e m e m b e r • S.W.A.T.?
Remember baseball caps in the
cafeteria? Remember the oc-
casional "friction" between the
two floors during intersession and
winter term? Remember billy
clubs in back pockets and smoke
bombs under the doors?
H We will skip the second floor for
a moment and move on to the
third, which was, to put it mildly,
a very strange place last year.
Personally, we think it was the
altitude. Hie young living on the
third floor soon took on a very
spacey [look;J even lwhen you
talked to them, you never got the
impression you were really
communicating. They tended to
float away after a few words.
Third floor existed mostly as a
state of mind. It seemed only a
matter of time before the
structure itself lifted loose of the
rest of the building and floated
away on a cloud of smoke over
Lake Erie. ; I
Now for the second floor. We
hink we have been saving the
jest for last, r '-
The evidence speaks for itself.
Two former residents were
driven to seek spiritual cleansing
at St. Mark's Seminary. We wish
them luck. ] largely!because of friends and
We will always remember one
incident in particular which
characterized the brand of mass
insanity-practised on the second
floor.
It began in the midst of two
wrestling matches, a skate board
race in which one was powered by
a compressed air tank, three
pillow fights, a basketball game
involving human backboards and
a special guest appearance by a
would-be Mouseketeer.
Into this seven-ring circus
came an innocent civilian asking
for help. Something about his car
being stuck. Anyway, as he tried
to shout above the roar of the
Perm State Pitt game on the lobby
TV set, a 19* year-old resident
wearing a pair of Mickey Mouse
ears and needing ~a shave in the
worst way»approached him to
inquire of his plight*
The civilian's face drained'of
blood. He turned, stumbled down
the stairs and was never heard
from again. 1^

cliques besides those in McAuley.fi

Two big factions are the girls of

seem to have the same nasty'
things to say, but never to each
others* faces. | *
%A11 of this seems inconceivable,
but it isn't. Such incidents, good
timesL and funny moments will
come and go this year, too. You
won't realize what strange things
you have done until you sit down
the following year and recall, as
we have.
In the way • they have been
described here, maybe cliques
sound] foolish. But we tend to
forget what the past has done for
us. It is through experiences,
happenings and friends that we
have grown and will grow.
Look at yourself now. Probably
you will see quite a difference in
what you are and what you were
last year or will become this
year. The tdifferences happen
how we identify with them. All of
us in some way identify with the
campus as a whole, y i
Identity-that's the key word.
We are all here striving to find out
about ourselves and to become
somebody. So the next time you
laugh at a group of people
because they are so "cliquish,"
remember that you are probably
right in the middle of a clique,
yourself, and its all just a part of
being involved, and being friends.
