President Reagan Telephones Garvey;

To Commend NevvlCareer Institute

By Carta Anderson
MERCIAD Assistant Editor
Ronald Reagan, president of
the United States, telephoned
Dr. William P. Garvey, Mer-
cyhurst president, on Thurs-
day, April 28r - new careers in the next year.
Reagan called to commend
Dr. Garvey on the college's
Mercyhurst * Career Institute
(MCI) which offers a solution
to unemployment and job
retraining.
"No"other school offers a
full year of college for free on
such a unique and wide scale,*'
said Garvey,
The MCI program began
April 18 and offers certificate
training in six occupational
skills. Forty-three people are
currently enrolled, and more
people will begin classes this
summer, according to Dr.
Garvey. The center will retrain
200 unemployed people for
Reagan said the program
justified his., hopes that the
< « :
American people would take
the challenge to retrain
themselves," said Garvey.
"He said it vindicated his
belief that the American peo-
ple are|self-reliant enough to
pull themselves through this
time of high unemployment,"
Garvey recalled.
Reagan called the college
three times-be fore he reached
Dr. Garvey. The first time he
called, Dr. Garvey wasn't in
the office. The second time,
Dr. Garvey was viewing part of
the baseball game at the field.

When I was told that the
President was trying to reach
me, I thought it was a joke,"
said Dr. Garvey. "It was quite
a surprise to me."
DrJGarvey said, "As soon
as I heard that voice, I knew it
was the* President." Dr.
Garvey feels J that Reagan is
"warm and vibrant." "I
understand now why he is call-
ed the great communicator. It
is his greatest asset," added
Garvey. £ «•£ |K *

The 1983-84 editorial leaders off the MERCIAD were
chosen last week and will assume management of the
newspaper in mid-May. The new Editor and Assistant Editor, . . —

Carla Anderson and Martha Camp respectively, both possess

the drive, the ambition, and the talent to produce an A-l

The success off the sellout David Brenner concert last Satur-
day night must be credited to the dedicated efforts;of the
MSG reps who worked for months on the event. The ticket \

sales, publicity, stage, lighting, audio, and coordinating crews

made the performance professional and pleasant. The risk in yt
bringing in a top-name comedian was well-worth taking.
MSG took the chance and it paid off. The crowd size and
spirit proved that. Hopefully, the major special event will
become an annual occurrence for Mercyhurst in the*future. J

asked Brenner what he would tell
a college student in 1983
preparing to face the world and
begin a career.
"It's (more important to be
smart than to be intelligent," he
stated without hesitation.
"You've gotta use your smarts."

Brenner made his first television
appearance on the ^ "Tonight
Show" in January of 1971. In
1975, he said "it started to get real
hot, and in 1976, it exploded."
Always wondering how come-
dians could psyche themselves up
for a concert and be funny even if
their physical and mental states
who is were not conducive for an on-
target performance, I wanted to
know how Brenner did it. "It's a
stimulous response, a Pavlovian
thing. My foot hits the stage and I
forget about the world. And then
when I come offstage, as soon as
my foot hits the wings, I forget
